We watch older movies. I won't show my kids the Incredibles yet either.

Herbie the Love Bug
The Sword in the Stone
The Jungle Book
Alice in Wonderland (the old animated one)
Toy Story 1 (but not the others)
Singing in the Rain
Pixar Short Films Vol. 1

I'll keep thinking to see if I can add to the list.

Netflix has awesome movie reviews called the "Common Sense Rating" that gives a huge amount of detail about things in the movie: what kind of language, what kind of social situations. I routinely use this as a way to xray films before showing them.
