CBS Children's Film Festival

I watched this every Sunday afternoon. It had some great international films for kids. It wasn't the big budget Disney cartoon movies for kids, or the stuff that came later like "ABC Afterschool Special" (which were poorly written and cheap looking). These films never insulted your intelligence.

My favorite was "Skinny and Fatty", about 2 friends from very different socioeconomic backgrounds who become friends. I will never forget the scene where "Skinny" is cheering "Fatty" on to get through a rope climb in gym class.

Unfortunately, as adults, you never have a friend like the ones you have in elementary and middle school.

As a result of these films, I became profoundly interested in foreign language and foreign produced movies as an adult.

I wish they had been around when my daughter was a child.
