List: Top 3 Child Adventure Movies

This week on Episode 310 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Joe Cornish’s The Kid Who Would Be King, we discussed our favorite child adventure movies. Child adventures have been the cornerstone for “kids movies” since the beginning of film, especially in the realm of animation, so this was a rich category to tackle this week. In fact, it’s so expansive that we had to get specific with our criteria to narrow down the kinds of films we wanted to focus on for our lists. There was a lot to figure out, but hopefully the films we chose will make you all proud. That said, here are our lists:
