Some things are animated or intended for kids but can still be meaningful for adults!
movies - tv
Inside Out - has a lot of relevance for real life and is a good visual for emotions for kids. I've seen kids connect with it up to age 15.
Inside Out 2 - about puberty, great for prepubescent and puberty-processing young people to help them understand how they start to build their identity in this important and exciting and uncomfortable phase
​
With purposeful guidance and reflection, almost any movie or show can be educational on emotional regulation, relationship management, and responsible decision making. Be sure to consider appropriate exposure for different ages.
