My kid 11yo has a blood phobia. I asked Twitter for suggestions for action/adventure/scifi/fantasy/comedy movies that are suitable for a 9 and 11 yo who like Star Wars and Back to the Future.
Below are the movies people have suggested. They often did so from memory, and I haven't validated if they are indeed suitable. However, I learned about this site where you can lookup if a moview has blood or other phobia-inducing content: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/
