Live Poll: Operation Pied Piper
The list page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls044327406/
Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/QweiHZXe138/
Operation Pied Piper was the code name of the program the British did in World War 2 to get the children out of London and coastal areas and move them into the country during the Battle Of Britain and the Blitzkrieg. Some children had stayed in London. Some operations like this were done in Europe by private individuals to get Jewish refugees out of Axis occupied Europe and Asia. Some children were caught and sent to prison or concentration camps.
These are films ranging from animated musicals, to fantasy, to comedy, to gritty war dramas that deal with this part of WW2: how children lived through that war. I will include both sides of that war. Which one is your favorite? (I will start with the fantasy films showing part of Operation Pied Piper and then move to the more realistic and grittier war dramas.)

This is an interesting concept for a poll. Although I was aware of Operation: Pied Piper, I did not know it's operational name until now. I also would not have made the thematic connection among the films in your poll until you pointed it out.
I have three favorites in your list:
Comic:
Father Goose (1964)
Dramatic:
1st: Schindler's List (1993)
2nd: Empire of the Sun (1987)

'So glad to see 'Sophie's Choice' on the list; I could vote for that one or 'Empire of the Sun' or 'Schindler's.'
May I suggest two small edits?
These are films ranging from animated musicals, to fantasy, to comedy, to gritty war dramas that deal with this part of WW2: how children lived through that war.
(Suggested edit 1: replace comma after "WW2" with colon)
(Suggested edit 2: I'd put the section that starts with the above sentence in a separate paragraph. People tend to read more when blocks of texts are broken up a bit and I think as many people as possible should read what you wrote: it's powerful.)
