On Sky Arts 2, every Sunday afternoon, we’re providing some quality family entertainment by showing a classic children’s film at 5pm. The mix of films aims to stimulate discussion and bubbles with topics such as climate change and reforestation - but underneath all this, the short pieces are about friendship, loyalty, nature and there’s even a scary witch thrown in their somewhere too.
Featuring the films:
Kirikou & The Sorceress
The Adventures of Prince Achmed
Azur & Asmar: The Princes Quest
The Red Balloon
White Mane
Mighty River
Man Who Planted Trees
My Life As A Dog

I starting to really like the Sky Arts channels. Especially in HD. Keep up the good work. The family films is a great idea to relax with the kids at the end of the day.
