Frankenstein is the OG. It's short, iconic, and surprisingly moving. If your kid is into 'Stranger Things' or sci-fi, showing them where the 'mad scientist' trope started is a total pro-parent move.

That said, let’s be real: it’s nearly 100 years old. The acting is theatrical, and the lack of a soundtrack means you’re sitting in a lot of silence. It’s a 'watch together' movie, not a 'drop them in front of the iPad' movie. Use it as a springboard to talk about how we treat people who look different.
