I am going to be a father and am making a jellyfin setup for my child. I want to start early to make a good collection of movies and shows. So I am interested in knowing what other people experienced as positive influences in their lives.

Edit: English and Norwegian is fine, but I can always get dubbed versions of other languages. We will be speaking English and Norwegian with our child from birth. But want to introduce our child to many types of cultures, religions etc.

Edit 2: Thanks so much for so many great responses. Some of you must have spent quite some time compiling the list. Truly appreciate that ♥️

Princess Mononoke might be a little dark for an earlier age. There's some really brutal scenes in it.

Of course that didn't stop it from being my favorite from age 8 onward, but still.

Yeah there's literal dismemberment in the early scenes, plus thematically it's pretty mature too

I'm picturing a toddler seeing a soldier get beheaded by an arrow from horseback, looks over at Dad for emotional support, and Dad looks on with an approving grin, comfortable that he's made the right choice of early childhood films.

Also, The Matrix as a suggestion for a small child is a big lol.

Terminator, the matrix and cowboy beebop are to much as well
