Any black and white family movies since this?


As far as I can tell, this was the last family-oriented movie to be made in black and white. Good night and Good luck (2005) is rated PG, but clearly it's a rare adult-oriented movie with a rating of less than PG13. I understand that the black and white era was in it's twilight years in the early 60s and that family films had been predominantly color for several years before that anyway as kids would be likely bored by a black and white film. I'm pretty sure that since ratings were introduced the vast majority of black and white films have been rated R. But just to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone know of a black and white family movie more recent than this one? It's no good going to the IMDb search page and selecting "family" "black and white" "since 1961" as you'll just get a list of color films with tiny bits of grey in them (listed in color info as Color/Black and White).

Try "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" (1962) ---
The opening credits proclaim it "filmed in glorious black & white" !!

"A bride without a head !"
"A wolf without a foot !"

....and let's not forget the Beatles in "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) !

"A bride without a head !"
"A wolf without a foot !"
