[Editor’s Note: No, this isn’t a politically correct, “PC” list. Rather, all
these movies are rated “PG” or “G” by the MPAA, deeming them to be suitable
entertainment for people of all ages. Any anomalies in Holly’s list can be
assumed to be the fault of her editor. You see, having an 8-year-old daughter
as a ready movie companion, Holly was assigned a preponderance of kids’ films
to review during the past year. Due to her editor’s oversight, Holly was
assigned neither Babe nor The Indian in the Cupboard, two of the major kids’
pics of the year. Though this did not prevent her daughter from seeing these
two films with other companions, Holly regrets that she has yet to see them and
strongly suspects that they would have been on this list if she had. Mea culpa,
babe.]
