I spend a lot of my downtime at work endlessly scrolling videos on youtube or listening to podcasts. Or here in the bear pit. Sometimes it just feels good to put the phone down and read a book. I think my brain actually functions better after reading a book.
Movie Theater Need some recommendations: films for young boys 1st - 3rd grade

I saw this Walt Disney special when they actually made great movies. It's based on historical events in Romney Marsh, near Kent England.
Walt Disney got his idea for the movies from the Novel, "Dr. Syn," by Russell Thorndike. The Disney movie is a great introduction to real history.

Hogan's heroes. Watched it after school in second grade(reruns of course). They need to know Sergeant Schultz.
I was 8 years old I guess when directTV was becoming a thing. Early 90's. On the TV land channel, I watched all the hogan heroes re runs, along with green acres, Mr Ed and petticoat junction. Watched plenty of the Andy Griffith show also.
I’ve noticed that sitcoms have entered the discussion. Might as well mention some cartoons that are age appropriate regardless of what the censors of the late 80s and 90s think. I’m talking about the originals, not the revamped/“updated” crap. Grew up watching these in the 60s and 70s.
1) Jonny Quest ( contains firefights, dangerous animals, monsters and other cool adventurous stuff that a boy eats up. I know I did)
2) Looney Tunes ( What’s not funny about an obsessive compulsive coyote, a Martian with little man syndrome and a big smart ass rooster?)
Jonny Quest

Yosemite Sam is my favorite. Foghorn leghorn is a close second place. They were all good lol.
I was in Singapore at the time from 92-96. My older sisters watched petticoat junction. They aired right next to each other.
Starting at 0:55 seconds in that clip, it is clearly Mike Pence flying the aircraft ("Race" Bannon).
LOL
Lots of great recommendations. As the son of a second grade boy, I came in to post (we watched Old Yeller last night!) and everything I wanted to post has already been suggested.
I also see some new suggestions for us.
Thanks!
I read about this on Wikipedia after reading your post, but was shocked to discover this movie is not on DisneyPlus!

Did I mention the movie “Tugger, The Jeep Who Wanted To Fly!”
It’s a wonderful little animated film in the spirit of Pixar “cars.”
It has a magnificent military/patriotic connection. But I won’t give it away!
Great movie and adults will love it, too!!

NOT Casey’s Shadow.
its a favorite of mine, basically so reminiscent of our little horse farm of the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s where we too had that one good horse. But we too, all but went broke trying to train and care for our horses as well as the few customer horses we were able to take in.
But the point, We made it a point to see the initial theatrical presentation of Casey’s Shadow. Apparently far too many parents did not get the point, it’s an adult movie for adults, and not grade school children even though Casey is portrayed as a ten year old. Its a good movie, not the typical fuck fest (language or actual horizontal Hulu) but its the language and the portrayal of a poor Cajun trainer, and his three sons trying to make it in the big boy world of quarter horse racing. Walter Mathau’s first line in the movie was one word…”SHIT.” And it goes from there.
So, what to recommend
Star Wars, Original
The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold - staring Clayton Moor

We got more than halfway through that one before bed time. We'll watch the rest tonight. MY 8 year old boy really likes it. My 11 year old girl, not so much. "What did you think about it?"
She replied, "I do not think about it."
LOL. "OK, come on, share something. You must have thought something."
She slowly enunciated, "Ok, it waaaas very waaarliiiiiike." And that was all I could get out of her.
Look up the despecialized edition. It's closest you can find to the original. Special editions started in 1997. Check out this Wikipedia for some of the changes.
Changes in Star Wars re-releases - Wikipedia
Other versions that look good from a quick search are 4k77 and 4k83.
