After losing her parents, eight-year-old Violette is sent to live with an uncle she barely knows, a gruff caretaker who works at the Palace of Versailles. Their first days together are anything but easy, but as Violette explores the palace, makes new friends, and slowly learns about the man caring for her, the two begin to build an unexpected family of their own. Set against the extraordinary world of Versailles, this beautifully animated story is ultimately about grief, resilience, friendship, and finding a new sense of home.

Like You Guidance:
We recommend this film for ages 7+. All ages are welcome to attend; it's up to you to decide what's right for your family. We provide the following commentary to help inform you about what to expect from the film.

My Life in Versailles is a warm and often humorous film about grief that doesn't shy away from the reality of losing a parent. Rather than trying to "fix" grief, the film shows Violette slowly finding ways to live with her loss while forming new relationships and discovering that family can take unexpected forms.

Positive Messages:
- Found family. Loving relationships can grow in unexpected places.
- Grief and healing. There is no single timetable or right way to grieve.
- Connection after loss. New relationships don't replace people we've lost, but they can help us move forward.
- Resilience. Children can find strength even during enormous life changes.
- Empathy. Understanding another person's pain can transform difficult relationships.
- New beginnings. A difficult change can eventually open the door to a new chapter.

In a small English town obsessed with giant pumpkins, no-nonsense farmer Dinah Little reluctantly takes in her estranged young niece, Charlie. Charlie discovers she has an extraordinary ability to make plants grow and enters the town's enormous pumpkin-growing competition, where fierce rivalries, sabotage, and an unusual genetically engineered competitor threaten to turn the contest upside down. Along the way, Charlie and Dinah discover that the most important thing they can grow may be their relationship with each other.

Like You Guidance:
We recommend this film for ages All Ages.
Grow is a whimsical family comedy with a big heart. Beneath the giant pumpkins and absurd competition is a story about two people who struggle with belonging, big emotions, and the fear of being unwanted. There are strong messages about love, family, empathy, belonging, determination, integrity, honesty, and resilience.

Positive Messages:
- Belonging and family. Family can be created through love and commitment, not just biology.
- Emotional honesty. It's healthy to recognize and express difficult feelings.
- Perseverance. Growth takes patience, practice, and resilience.
- Empathy and connection. Understanding someone else's experience can transform a relationship.
- Integrity. Winning isn't worth sacrificing honesty or your relationships.
- Healthy competition. Competition can be fun, but obsession with winning can hurt people.

See this film's schedule info here: https://festival.likeyoufilmclub.org/schedule/future-council-6a814d597b9e130115f84495

What if kids didn't just inherit the future, but got a seat at the table where decisions about it are made? In Future Council, eight young people from around the world travel across Europe in a biofuel-powered school bus, learning about climate change, environmental solutions, and the corporations whose decisions shape the planet. Their journey ultimately leads them to form a "Future Council" and challenge powerful companies to take responsibility for the world today's children will inherit.

Like You Guidance:
We recommend this film for ages 8+. The film's frank discussions of climate destruction and the emotional weight of global problems make it better suited to older elementary-age children and up.

Future Council takes an issue that can feel overwhelming, and asks a hopeful question: What if we focused on what we can do? The film gives children agency rather than simply presenting them with frightening statistics, showing young people learning, asking difficult questions, working together, and speaking directly to adults in positions of power.

Positive Messages:
- Young people have agency. Kids can contribute meaningful ideas and participate in decisions about their future.
- Civic engagement matters. Speaking up, asking questions, and participating in our communities can create change.
- Hope through action. Big problems become less overwhelming when we focus on concrete solutions.
- Environmental stewardship. We all have a responsibility to care for the natural world.
- Collaboration. Different perspectives and experiences can make problem-solving stronger.
- Courage to challenge power. Asking difficult questions of powerful people is an important part of creating change.

Nora is screening at Like You Children's Film Festival on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 6:45pm as our Parenthood Spotlight Feature. Nora will be preceded by the short film, "Mom and Dad Live in Separate Houses"

See this film's schedule info here: https://festival.likeyoufilmclub.org/schedule/parenthood-spotlight-nora-6a814c7b65271824c9b94377

We recommend this film for adults, or 16+.

After giving up her music career to focus on raising her young daughter, Nora returns to her hometown and tries to settle into suburban motherhood. When her husband leaves for a lengthy tour, Nora finds herself navigating parenting, friendships, family expectations, and the lingering voice of the musician she used to be.

Anna Campbell's debut feature blends intimate family drama with vibrant musical fantasy sequences to explore what happens when the life we dreamed about doesn't look quite like the life we've built.

Like You Guidance:
We recommend this film for adults and older teens. We provide the following commentary to help inform you about what to expect from the film.

Nora is an honest, sometimes messy exploration of a question many parents wrestle with: What happens to the person I was before I became a parent? Rather than presenting motherhood as either wholly fulfilling or wholly restrictive, the film makes room for conflicting feelings, including love for your child, frustration with daily responsibilities, and longing for creative expression
Positive Messages:
- Parents are whole people, too. Becoming a parent doesn't erase your identity, interests, dreams, or needs.
- Self-care isn't selfish. Making room for your own emotional and creative needs can make you a more present person and parent.
- Dreams can change. Growing older doesn't necessarily mean abandoning the parts of yourself that matter.
- Honest self-reflection matters. Understanding what you need is an important part of making healthy choices.
- Parenthood is complicated. Loving your child deeply and struggling with aspects of parenting can both be true.

When 12-year-old Olivia, her little brother Tim, and their mother are suddenly forced out of their home, Olivia tries to protect Tim from the frightening reality by convincing him that their upheaval is actually a movie in which he is the star. But as their mother struggles with depression and Olivia takes on more responsibility for her family, the line between make-believe and reality begins to blur. With the help of colorful new neighbors and her own imagination, Olivia discovers that even when we can't control the earthquakes life sends our way, we don't have to face them alone.

Like You Guidance:
We recommend this film for ages 8+. All ages are welcome to attend; it's up to you to decide what's right for your family. We provide the following commentary to help inform you about what to expect from the film.

Olivia and the Invisible Earthquake is a thoughtful stop-motion film about a family experiencing housing insecurity and a child's attempt to protect her younger brother from the realities of their situation. While the subject matter is serious, the film uses imagination, humor, friendship, and community to show how people can find hope and connection during difficult circumstances.

Positive Messages:

- Imagination as a coping tool. Olivia uses storytelling and play to help her brother understand and cope with a frightening situation.

The Day You Begin is screening at Like You Children's Film Festival on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 2:30pm.

On their first day of school, four imaginative kids feel like they don't belong, until they learn that everyone has a unique story to share. The Day You Begin is a journey of self-acceptance, courage, and the magic that comes when we connect with others. Bursting with color, laughs, and compassion, this animated adaptation brings Jacqueline Woodson's beloved book to life, reminding kids that every voice matters and every difference is a strength.

Like You Guidance:
A warm choice for young viewers, especially children who recently started school for the first time, or who remain nervous about going to school. The film offers a thoughtful reminder that we don't have to hide the things that make us different. Sharing our experiences and being open about how we feel can help us find connection with others.

What to Expect:
The Day You Begin is a gentle, reassuring story about four children starting kindergarten and wondering whether they will fit in. Each child arrives with their own worries, experiences, family traditions, and interests, but as they begin to share their stories with one another, they discover that being different can be a way to connect.

The story touches on feelings of nervousness, loneliness, and uncertainty, particularly around starting a new school and meeting unfamiliar people. Some children may relate strongly to the characters' worries about making friends or feeling left out.
