A
Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting(招人喜爱的) characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have left the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.” —Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” —Lorraine Cormack
“I loved Dumbo as it showed those who are bullied can win if they believe they can.” — Mary Madigan
The Never Ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie from my era. The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical( 神话中的) flying dog and an interesting ending. Our family continue to watch it today.” —Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the storyline always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic.” —Joanne Carter
