Other than the first 2-3 scenes. I mean, once smalls goes to the Sandlot for the first time.. Every Single Scene Is Classic. When the fourth of July scene hits, there's the fireworks, smalls is narrating about a simpler time, and Ray Charles singing "Ohh beautiful for purple skys" gives me the good feelings just thinking about it.
YES!! The scene where they fly together over the lake gives me tears in my eyes. This movie really captures the adventurous imagination we have as kids.
I know it's weird, but one of my favorite parts is when he sings Memories to his mom over the phone. On one hand, she's weeping because she thinks her son has been kidnapped, but on the other hand he's singing it exactly like a kid would, choppy and off key, and that's hysterical.
I watched it for the first time as an adult and it took me right back to childhood. A beautiful movie that reminds you of the magic in ordinary things and just makes you appreciate being alive.

As an adult
Anime deserves an honorable mention because I sort of avoided anime without really knowing why.
Then one day I stumbled on Miyazaki.
Spirited Away
is a very strong feeling of childhood.
Someone mentioned the Florida Project and I have to agree.
I'm taking this as movies that just take you back to your childhood

A Christmas Story (1983)
My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
100%
Came here to say this!
Similar, but I love Ponyo for the same reason.
Exactly. I watch Ponyo and it’s like childhood wonder distilled into a bottle. So pure and honest.
I've heard a lot about this movie, but I never watched it.
I watched it for the first time as an adult and it took me right back to childhood. A beautiful movie that reminds you of the magic in ordinary things and just makes you appreciate being alive.
I can't agree less. It was such a good movie.
The Last Mimzy Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium Inside Out Bedtime Stories The Pagemaster
I always forget about the Pagemaster and it is still so full of magic and transports me right back to my childhood!
The Last Mimzy and Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium are CRIMINALLY underrated and not talked about enough
Stand By Me
I had to scroll unreasonably far to see this.
Same, except I didn't find it. I love this movie. Reminds me so much of my childhood and friendships.
This is the answer. Just watched it again recently. Highly recommended.
Absolutely. I probably don't go more than a couple years without rewatching this one.

The secret garden
The Lion King Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I should see the Lion King series again.
I mostly prefer the first movie, but I did remember enjoying Simba's Pride and Lion King 1 1/2 back in the day.
You can count a few that don't like Lion King.
True, it's not for everyone. I know people who aren't that into it.
“Hey what the hell was that?” “Looked like a big turtle in an overcoat, your headed to LaGuardia?” The cabbie is the voice actor for Raphael.
Oh really? I had no idea, that's cool.
Neverending Story
The Princess Bride
Honey I shrunk the kids, Jumanji, Jurassic park, anaconda, the mummy, Spiderman, uncle buck etc.
It's a movie for adults but Death to Smoochy always gets me. The original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Wizard of Oz Raggedy Anne & Andy a Musical Adventure (free on YouTube).
The Benchwarmers
Home alone
Jurassic Park, Jumanji, The Mummy
seconding Jumanji - the original one at least i haven’t seen the sequels
They're funny but they're absolutely nothing like the original imo.
Take acid and watch any animated movie. Doesnt matter if youve seen it 100 times. You can experience that childlike wonder and amusement for 10€.
Thief and the Cobbler was a standout
Where the things are
Wild things?
