The September 2026 top 5 for age 10
Recent releases first, then reliable titles worth (re)watching. Every pick is explained.
- #1Recent release
How to Train Your Dragon2025
The live-action remake, faithful shot for shot to the 2010 film. Longer and more realistic in its battles, which justifies two more years than the original.
- #2Recent release
The Wild Robot2024
A shipwrecked robot adopts a gosling and learns to live among animals. DreamWorks' major 2024 film about parenting and adaptation, with an unflinching animal death.
- #3Recent release
Flow2024
A cat, a flooded world, a boat shared with other animals. 2025 Oscar winner for animated feature, without a single word of dialogue: contemplative and demanding, hence the age.
- #4Worth (re)watching
Spirited Away2001
Ten-year-old Chihiro moves house and ends up alone in a spirit world. The definitive Miyazaki for this age: the heroine is the same age, and the film is about growing up.
- #5Worth (re)watching
Wolf Children2012
A mother raises two half-wolf children alone, between city and countryside. A film about family and adolescent choices, worth revisiting as school starts again.
