Films that are kind to you
Warm, playful and comforting at once — all three, not two out of three. Films like this were 35.4% of the catalogue in the 1990s and are 27.1% today. But more of them exist now than in any decade before, because the catalogue grew faster than the share fell. They are not gone. They are buried.

Every film here scores at least 55 for playfulness, 50 for comfort and 55 for warmth on Cinnamon DB’s twenty-dimension reading — each floor cleared on its own, so nothing qualifies by being extremely warm and otherwise bleak. Children’s films are left out, not because they fail the test but because they pass it so completely that they crowd out everything else; the top of this shelf without that filter is Winnie the Pooh and Pixar shorts.
