Probably Billy Elliot (British comedy-drama). It's a touching film. He just wants to dance! It's sweet without being sentimental.

"Chucky" in the film "Child's Play" (1988).
3- The character you would most like to meet?

I wouldn't mind being the wizard "Hauru" in the film Howl's Moving Castle (2004) directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Dumbo, Doraemon, Dragon Ball.
