Good movies & TV shows for girls?

[dalekboy]

Been meaning to ask this question for a few weeks. Can anyone recommend any movies or TV shows with solid and clever female characters? Preferably in the lead role, but solid supporting characters are okay as well if it helps expand the range.

I know it's going to be a couple of years before MaybeZoe sees any of it, and even longer before she comprehends what she's seeing, but getting a list now will give me time to hunt down and buy them.

Prefer genre stuff, but anything that has good characters and storytelling will do. She's already going to have some great female role models in her life, but wouldn't mind having some cool stuff to show her. Plus it can't be bad for Lex, either.

Yep, seen most of them. Some are outstanding, like Ocean Girl, Pirate Islands (that's another with a good strong female lead), Thunderstone. Others are really good but not as interesting for adults, eg H20, Wicked Science and The Elephant Princess (the latter one was quite recent).

It's a bit confusing - Jonathan M. Shiff created all of these shows.

Then there is Mark Shirrefs, creator of The Girl from Tomorrow and Spellbinder.

Yes I must have been confusing Shiff and Shirrefs. :)

Spellbinder was also very good but with a male lead as I recall.
