Princess Mononoke might be a little dark for an earlier age. There's some really brutal scenes in it.
Of course that didn't stop it from being my favorite from age 8 onward, but still.
Terminator, the matrix and cowboy beebop are to much as well
I'm picturing a toddler seeing a soldier get beheaded by an arrow from horseback, looks over at Dad for emotional support, and Dad looks on with an approving grin, comfortable that he's made the right choice of early childhood films.
Also, The Matrix/Terminator as a suggestion for a small child is a big lol.
Yeah there's literal dismemberment in the early scenes, plus thematically it's pretty mature too
