What are some good martial arts movies for kids?
My son is 6 years old an I am trying to get him interested in martial arts. I want to enroll him in lessons but at this point he doesn't seem very interested. I want to find karate/martial arts movies that are suitable for kids that will help him get a better idea about it and possibly peak his interest in it. So far all I cam up with was 3ninjas and the karate kid movies. I've also been letting him watch Naruto.
Does anybody else have any more suggestions?

Its very possible and happens all the time. If you train 8+ hours a day everyday under someone who knows what they are doing you can easily outdo what passes for a black belt in most places, not a real epic level master of the martial arts, but good, really good. But lets be honest, that's unlikely as it would cost a lot to feed/house/pay for someone that experienced. and take 3 months to do nothing but train, you would have to be a very well placed/lucky person for all this to come together, and even more mentally tough to see it through. 12 weeks is enough time for ANYONE who is in average shape to get to a world level of fitness and physical ability in most sports if they give this sort of commitment, and the same goes for the techniques and mental processes, just think how many hours a week your average MA practitioners gives then think of the years worth of training your cramming into those few months. Final words? I'm telling you its possible because it is, but its the furthest thing from easy you can find short of being told you've just been promoted from high school to head of a special ops team and dropped into a warzone, unarmed, to save the world... another even less likely occurence. *thanks for the thumbs down whoever you are *Pugpaws- no need to defend the 40 years spent training so much, I have to say I'm a few years short on your 42 but we've all seen those able to outdo long term practioners after only a few months without ths levels of training I mentioned. also, no where in the question is the word 'mastered' used. Also a genuine comment and question/request for an opinion. -you began teaching after only 6 years in the martial arts even though you say you couldn't have been decent by this point. A clarification of what your meaning by decent perhaps. *I'm off to google how long the film took, I'm sure plenty of films are filmed in less than 3 months

Just because he's a kid doesn't he has to watch kid movies. I was 4yo and I watched Child's Play. Heck, I would even impersonate Chucky. I watch Blood Sport and all sorts of things not specifically kid appropriate. It didn't bother me and I had a real yearning towards the martial arts.
Pop in any good ol' martial art movie. The kiddy stuff like 3 Ninjas could really leave him with misconceptions regarding the martial arts. I'm not saying to not have him watch it, but don't leave him with just that kind.
You could always buy him games like Street Fighter, Soul Calibur and Tekken. Any interest he shows will come from his own imagination and personal taste. It might seem hard to fathom, but we're all really who we are from he day we're born. Anime is a nice expression of creativity and fun loving fantasy, but it's not for everyone. Video games stretch the hand-eye coordination along with creativity as well, but again, not for everyone.

The Karate kid, (I'm not sure if he would like it that much since he is only six but it is a very good martial arts movie)

The karate kid-- probably the newer one will speak to younger audiences.
Kung Fu panda-- silly but martial arts related
Teenage mutant ninja turtles

the choreography for the original karate kid movies were really lame, so he might loose interest. all the "good" martial arts movies are rated R, like jackie chan and jet li movies. naruto is not really martial arts, too much "magic" involved. try to give him something reallistic but not too violent and bloody
