Johnny is largely a historical autobiography with a touch of realistic scenes integrated in between the photographs and drawings from the Civil War.

Hounddog stars Dakota Fanning in a coming an age tale of a young girl who struggles to overcome some horrible moments in her life while making sense of the world around her. It's a good film with a touching story that deserves much more attention than it received after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

Losing Track is a 1992, made for TV movie, produced by BBC Screen One. It tells the story of a father and son who have lost their connection after a long separation.

Combining fantasy, reality and hand drawn cartoons, no matter if you are in middle school or long out of it, you're going to love Diary of a Wimpy Kid and see it more than once to re-experience the 'laughing out loud' comedy of its entire hour and half length.

Emmet is a forty-eight minute long Canadian film that tells the story of a friendship and of life changing choices.

Some films you can see once and forget you ever saw it. The Flyboys: (a.k.a. Sky Kids) (2008) is not one of those films. From the very first scenes, you can tell this is going to be a movie that will capture, not only your attention, but also your heart!

The American Civil War and its events and heroes have inspired thousands of films and books. American Drummer Boy is a well-made coming of age saga about the Civil War.

Scandinavian films about coming of age are known for their special twists in the storyline. And they come in wide variety – from serious to cute and entreating but perhaps a little bit weird. Mirakel is a Danish film released in 2000, which falls into the second category. Mirakel has a nice cast, but a weird storyline. Read SkyKid's full review about it.

Pirates, Indians and adventures …and a 10-year-old boy who finds inspiration and hope in the tale an actor creates for him. Yo ho ho is filled with fantasy and humor and is equally interesting for children and adults.

Child's Play or An American Short Story is a short film released in the United States in 1980. The atmosphere of the film can easily be compared with some of the earliest adaptations of the books of Stephen King while, at the same time, the story is told in a manner not much different than one would expect to find in the tales of Hans Christian Anderson.

Have Dreams, Will Travel is an enjoyable coming of age tale. The viewer follows two young people, Benjamin and Cassie, and their adventures, as they cross several states on their escape to Baltimore.
