For a "fantasy" film with a black child protagonist, try The People Under
the Stairs (1991).

Best,

Dear colleagues,

I am searching for any fantasy films, along the line
of Lord of the Rings or Narnia, that have any African
American child characters. Also, does anyone know of
any youth films with an all-black cast? Or at least a
black child/ren protagonist/s? The Wiz and Rogers and
Hammerstein's Cinderella are the only two that I can
come up with. Any suggestions would be most
appreciated!

Thank you,
