20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
51Watch it awake.
A child can watch the submarine; the bolted-on war talk is 1916, not the sea.
The review
Captain Nemo and a submarine, and the underwater scenes were really shot underwater. That is the part I would show a child. The sea is the pleasure. This 1916 Universal picture was the year's leader on the lists still cited. It is not a later version, so don't talk over it with a newer one.
A wartime frame was added, with Nemo against a warmongering power. The added war is 1916 talking. A child can watch the boat and the water. I'd say, before that frame takes over, that the war talk was put on for the year. The dive is the part worth keeping.

The glance
Household is the thin one.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
63 instead of 51
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is still a adventure film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is household: A cramped house that loves him.
