2. POLICY FOR INCLUSION

This list notes film and television appearances of children up to age 14 years. Should there be a deviation from this policy, which occurs infrequently, the inclusion is explained for those readers who would prefer these particular young people not be included.


3. HISTORY OF THE LIST


Barefoot children appear in many films, and some of the movies include the bottoms of boys' or girls' feet in close-ups for long, lingering times. Here are some films with scenes where girls or boys appear barefoot and usually show the soles of their feet. They are listed from the earliest movies to movies of today. The age of the child noted for each film is the actual age they were when the movie was shot, not when it was finally released to theaters. (For example, "Misunderstood" was filmed in 1982, when Henry Thomas was 10 years old and Huckleberry Fox was 7 years old, but it was not released until 1984 when they were 12 and 9, respectively.) In some cases, the age of the child is estimated if research fails to find a verifiable biography but if other material, such as interviews, helps to establish the age as closely as possible.

"Children's Feet in Cinema" was first published in 1996 on several newsgroups and listed boyfeet and girlfeet together in a mixed, single column. It was later adapted for use by The Young Foot Lovers Adoration Society (TYFLAS), a now-defunct website which edited the list to show only girlfeet. This new list is presented here in a revised format of its original, in which boyfeet are once again listed with girlfeet. Unlike the original posting, however, the list has been separated for convenience into a boyfeet grouping and a girlfeet grouping. Films where both boys and girls appear barefoot in the same film are listed under "Girlfeet/Boyfeet." Since this list began publishing again in late 2003, two new additions have been added: "Animated Girlfeet and Boyfeet," in which feature-length cartoons show well-drawn little girls' and boys' feet, and "Television Girlfeet and Boyfeet," which lists certain episodes from past and current series which feature boy and girl cast members in bare feet. Where a cartoon has appeared on television as a series, it is listed under "Animated Girlfeet and Boyfeet," which normally lists feature-length films, rather than "Television Girlfeet and Boyfeet," to avoid confusion.

The list is revised and re-posted on newsgroups on an unscheduled basis.


4. GIRLFEET


* "Little Miss Marker" 1934. Shirley Temple, 5 years old, puts on her pajamas and jumps into Adolphe Menjou's bed, "commandeering" it from him and forcing him to sleep in a chair. She shows her feet as she does so, and reveals the bottoms of her feet quickly from a medium distance.

* "Bright Eyes" 1934. Shirley Temple, 6 years old, is spun about by her on-screen godfather while she is wearing pajamas and shows her bare feet in medium close-up, including her soles. Her feet are shown numerous times in the film when she is preparing for bed and climbing in and out, and she once again displays her soles in medium close-up as she walks in pajamas when she sneaks through a hallway to eavesdrop on a conversation.

* "Curly Top" 1935. Shirley Temple, 7 years old, lies on her stomach on the beach with her feet in the air. She first shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up with the camera in front of her, then in close-up when she lowers her legs to show her soles to the camera behind her. Earlier she also appears barefoot in medium close-up while dancing as a hula girl in lei and grass skirt.

* "Child Bride" 1938. Shirley Mills, 12 years old, is barefoot throughout this film set in the rural American backwoods of the 1930s. Her feet are seen in various distances from long shots to close-up, although most are medium to medium close-up. Her soles appear in several scenes.

* "Gone with the Wind" 1939. Cammie King, 5 years old, who plays the ill-fated Bonnie, daughter of Rhett Butler, wears pajamas and shows her soles at an angle while atop her bed in a scene midway through the film. The views last only a few seconds but are in medium close-up.

* "Kathleen" 1941. Shirley Temple, 13 years old, hurts her big toe and her maid puts a bandage on it. The film also features a close-up of the sole of her foot.


* "Kings Row" 1942. Ann Todd, 10 years old, swings on some gymnastic-like rings barefoot in an early scene in the film and shows her soles in medium distance, then in medium close-up when she comes down off the rings. (Note: Ann was 9 when filming began and turned 10 about a month into shooting, so she may have been 9 when she performed the barefoot scene.)

* "Meet Me in St. Louis" 1944. Margaret O'Brien, 7 years old, lies on her stomach on a bed with her feet in the air as she talks with her older sisters. Her soles show directly to the camera in medium close-up.

* "National Velvet" 1944. Elizabeth Taylor, 12 years old, lies on her back with her feet out in front of her on her bed, and then lies on her stomach on her mother's bed with her feet in the air and shows the bottoms of her feet to the camera. Both scenes are in medium close-up.

* "Sister Kenny" 1946. Doreen McCann, about 6 years old, lies on a gurney barefoot as she is given a medical exam for polio. The scene is in medium close-up.

* "Don't Bother to Knock" 1952. Donna Corcoran, 9 years old, lies barefoot and bound hands and feet in her pajamas on a bed after a psychotic babysitter has tied her up. The camera slowly pans in close-up from her feet, soles upward, along her body to her head.

* "Pollyanna" 1960. Hayley Mills, 13 years old, is lifted out of bed in her nightgown and carried to the upper staircase, where she sees a crowd gathered below in her honor. The camera provides a medium shot of her bare feet as she is picked up and then carried across the balcony.

* "The Parent Trap" 1961. Susan Henning, about 13 years old, is the camera photo double of Hayley Mills in this tale of separated twins who meet at camp, and Susan's face never prominently appears to the camera. However, in the underwater scene where Hayley is balancing her twin above her, the bare feet resting on Hayley's shoulders in medium close-up are those of Susan, later a successful child model and Miss Teen USA. Susan's feet are obscured somewhat by Hayley's hands as she holds Susan's ankles.

* "Cape Fear" 1962. Lori Martin, 14 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she scrubs the upper deck of a boat in a marina. She continues to show her feet as she stands and greets friends passing by in another boat.

* "To Kill a Mockingbird" 1962. Mary Badham, 9 years old, walks home barefoot from school while wearing a costume and showing the bottoms of her feet as she walks. The views of her feet are in medium close-up.

* "Papa's Delicate Condition" 1963. Linda Bruhl, 7 years old, wears pajamas while being carried barefoot up the stairs by her on-screen father, who pauses at the top of the stairs to talk with the mother. While the parents talk, Linda's soles show directly to the camera in medium close-up. Her father then carries Linda into her bedroom where her feet continue to be visible in medium distance throughout the scene.

* "Séance on a Wet Afternoon" 1964. Judith Donner, 10 years old, is lifted by her on-screen father into a bed while she is dressed in a nightgown and reveals her soles at an angle in medium close-up. The appearance of her feet is brief, lasting only a few seconds, and freeze-frame is required for a more lasting observation.

* "The Sound of Music" 1965. Angela Cartwright, 12 years old, Debbie Turner, 8 years old, and Kym Karath, 6 years old, appear barefoot with two on-screen older sisters, also barefoot, during the famous "My Favorite Things" song montage. For the purposes of this list, one older sister played by Charmian Carr, 22 years old, cannot be considered a child, and the other older sister Heather Menzies, 15 years old, may be considered a child only by some moviegoers.

* "This Property is Condemned" 1966. Mary Badham, 13 years old, walks about barefoot in this tale of rural poverty, where her feet are seen in medium to medium close-up distances.

* "Pippi Longstocking" 1969. Inger Nilsson, 10 years old, appears barefoot in one scene when she soaks her feet in a large bucket of water, pours the rest on the floor, puts on foot scrubbers and proceeds to skate around the house cleaning the floor. The views of her feet are in medium close-up.

* "Alice in the Cities" 1970. Yella Rottlander, about 9 years old, wears a swimsuit and lounges on a blanket on her stomach with her bare soles in the air and moves them back and forth in medium close-up.

* "A Swedish Love Story" 1970. Ann-Sofie Kylin, 13 years old, brushes her boyfriend's tape recorder with her bare right foot in this coming-of-age tale set in Sweden and Finland in the summer. The view is close-up and lasts only a few seconds. Other scenes show her barefoot as she walks about the house and as she dances in a pajama top with her boyfriend in bed. Anne-Sofie was born in 1955 but the film was shot beginning in July 1969, several months before she turned 14 in November. The movie was released under its Swedish title, "En karlekshistoria." (The initial "a" in the second word has an umlaut which is not reproducible here.)

* "The Beguiled" 1971. Pamelyn Ferdin, 11 years old, displays her bare feet from beginning to end, finally showing the bottom of one of her feet in close-up as she kneels to grieve over a slain pet. Her entire sole is viewable in letterbox format, but only partially otherwise. (This entry originally stated her age as 12, but a review of the release date of the film, March 21, 1971, compared with Pamelyn's birthdate of February 4, 1959, indicates she was 11 when the film was shot, since it is unlikely the film wrapped and was released only seven weeks after she turned 12.)

* "Napoleon and Samantha" 1972. Jodie Foster, 9 years old, is shown at a long distance barefoot as she dangles her feet from a pier into the water.

* "The Exorcist" 1973. Linda Blair, 13 years old, comes downstairs in her nightgown and wets the carpet in her "possessed" state, and a brief shot of her bare feet in medium close-up is shown. Later her feet are visible in medium close-up in various bedroom scenes, particularly as her body is levitating during the exorcism.

* "Malachi's Cove" 1973. Veronica Quilligan, about 12 years old, lives with her grandfather by the sea and earns her living by collecting seaweed, and she runs about barefoot during the whole movie. Views range from medium to medium close-up.

* "Here Comes Pippi Longstocking" 1973. Inger Nilsson, 13 years old, appears barefoot in a foot and feather scene in a film also known as "Pippi Goes on Board." Her feet are in medium close-up.

* "The Car" 1977. Kim Richards, 12 years old, and her real-life sister Kyle Richards, about 9 years old, lie on their backs on top of the covers in their bedroom as their on-screen father comes to check on them, and both girls show the soles of their feet toward the camera in medium close-up.

* "Candleshoe" 1977. Jodie Foster, 14 years old, lies barefoot on a bed showing her soles, then sits cross-legged, showing her toes. The scene is in medium close-up to close-up.

* "The Goodbye Girl" 1977. Quinn Cummings, 9 years old, first shows her feet in medium distance early in the film when she pulls her legs out from under the covers of the bed she shares with her mother. Quinn again shows her feet when coming out the bedroom door after her mother tells the new tenant to go away. When Quinn goes back to bed, she walks away from the camera and jumps up on the bed to get back under the covers, and she shows the bottoms of her feet as she does so in medium distance. In a later scene, after her mother confronts the new tenant over a young woman he has in his room, Quinn pulls off her shoes and socks as she sits on the edge of the bed and reveals her right sole to the camera in medium close-up as well as side angles of her feet. As the scene continues, she climbs off the bed to put her socks in the hamper and gives additional views of her feet. In a scene nearer the end of the film, when the tenant comes home
drunk, Quinn is standing barefoot in the doorway of the bedroom as her mother puts him to bed. In a still later scene, Quinn is playing dress-up as she talks to her mother and walks away from the camera to reveal her bare soles, then Quinn sits in a chair and pulls on oversize high-heel shoes, showing in medium distance her left sole as she does.

* "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" 1977. Adrienne Campbell, 6 years old, and her brothers are awakened by their father, and she is barefoot and dangles her foot clearly over the side of the bed in medium close-up.

* "Pretty Baby" 1978. Brooke Shields, 12 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet when she slides down a banister, gets her legs painted, and gets picked up for a spanking. The views range from medium to medium close-up.

* "Piranha" 1978. Numerous children (identities and ages not available here) splash about in a lagoon and show their feet in medium close-up.

* "Goldie and the Boxer" 1979. Melissa Michaelsen, 11 years old, lies down on her back in bed on top of the covers while she wears pajamas and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up.

* "Body Heat" 1981. Carola McGuinness, about 10 years old, appears in medium distance in a brief scene in which she is barefoot in her nightgown. She observes an adult couple engaging in something which children should not see and, shocked, she turns to run away, revealing her soles as she does so. Freeze-frame is required to see her feet well.

* "Poltergeist" 1982. Heather O'Rourke, 5 years old, has a number of barefoot scenes in medium close-up as she walks about in her pajamas in her bedroom and in front of the television, often showing her soles behind her as she sits on her folded legs.

* "Sabine Kleist, Sieben Jahre" 1982. Petra Lammel, 7 years old, is barefoot in an extended beach scene near the end of the film in which she shows her feet from all angles in medium to medium close-up distances. As the beach scene ends, she strolls toward her clothing lying in a heap on the sand and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she walks, requiring "zoom" and "freeze" remote functions for a better view. (The "a" in "Lammel" has an umlaut which is not reproducible here.)

* "Annie" 1982. Aileen Quinn, 10 years old, stars in this famous story of little girl orphans in New York City. She and her numerous "sister" orphans, including Toni Ann Gisondi, 6 years old, who plays the youngest orphan Molly, display their feet many times in medium distance during the opening bedroom scene as they sing the first number.

* "Anna to the Infinite Power" 1983. Martha Byrne, 12 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she climbs into small hiding places to escape from her captors. In another scene she appears barefoot in medium close-up while lying on her bed in her cell, but her feet can only be seen in letterbox format; they are truncated in full-screen format.

* "Supergirl - DVD Director's Cut" 1984. In the original release this scene was removed (and so names and ages are not available here), but in the DVD edition it is restored and features numerous little girls ranging from 5 to 10 years old who appear barefoot throughout the scene. It takes place just after the opening credits when Supergirl is walking through the city in which the barefoot extras appear.

* "Cat's Eye" 1985. Drew Barrymore, 10 years old, lies in bed asleep with her foot out from under the covers as a tiny gremlin crawls up the side of her bed. The camera shows an extreme close-up of the bottom of her foot.

* "Surviving: A Family in Crisis" 1985. Heather O'Rourke, 8 years old, appears in this TV-movie while lying on her bed talking to her brother and dangling her feet behind her in medium close-up. A few minutes later she is sitting up, legs crossed, and playing with her toes.

* "My Life as a Dog" 1985. Johanna Udehn, 11 years old, extends her bare feet to the outside grass as she lies inside a large section of water pipeline while talking with her young boyfriend. Her soles clearly show in medium close-up while the rest of her is hidden from view inside the pipeline as the young boy reads from a newspaper on the grass. This is a Swedish-language film available with subtitles.

* "Parent Trap II" 1986. Carrie Kei Heim, 12 years old, lies on her stomach on her bed with her feet in the air keeping time to music from the radio. The opening shot is a tight close-up of her feet as they rhythmically move, then the camera dollies back to reveal Carrie's entire self on her bed.

* "Aliens" 1986. Carrie Henn, 9 years old, shows her soles in medium close-up as she scampers away from a rescue crew at a space outpost. In the first view of her feet, she crawls through a hole into an adjoining room as she tries to escape. The scene switches to inside the room where she hunkers down on the balls of her feet, trying to prevent her rescuer from following her through the hole, and shows her soles again in doing so. The views are rapid and dimly lit and require freeze-frame and zoom with a DVD remote.

* "'Round Midnight" 1986. Gabrielle Haker, 11 years old, dances on the beach and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she twirls.

* "Clan of the Cave Bear" 1986. Emma Floria, about 10 years old, appears barefoot in all her scenes as a young cave girl in prehistoric times. In one brief scene as she's ascending a slope of rock inside a cave, her feet are shown from the side in medium close-up.

* "Poltergeist II: The Other Side" 1986. Heather O'Rourke, 9 years old, offers a very brief glimpse of her feet in medium close-up in this sequel. It occurs when she stands up and walks towards the toy telephone near the beginning of the film.

* "The Hidden" 1987. Kristen Clayton, about 7 years old, is wearing pajamas in bed while being read a story by her mother. Kristen is sitting up without the covers over her and with her legs out, and she is showing her soles directly to the camera during the story reading. She then continues showing her soles when she is picked up from the bed by her father and held in his arms. The views of her feet, all in medium close-up, last a relatively long time for children's foot scenes, nearly a minute.

* "The Fig Tree" 1987. Karron Graves, about 10 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up in this TV-movie when she lies down on her side on her bed and pulls her legs up to her.

* "Le Grand Chemin" 1987. Vanessa Guedj, 10 years old, walks about and climbs a tree barefoot in this story of a Parisian boy sent to relatives one summer in rural France. Vanessa plays the girl next door who befriends the boy and shows all angles of her feet during her extensive screen time, including her soles, in views ranging from medium to medium close-up. This French-language film, whose title translates to "The Grand Highway," is available in subtitles.

* "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" 1988. Sarah Polley, 9 years old, plunges into the ocean while wearing a nightgown and is barefoot when she emerges from the water on the beach. Her feet are seen in medium distance. She later runs after the baron and a quick glimpse is seen of her soles in medium distance shots as she runs.

* "Beaches" 1988. Grace Johnston, about 8 years old, and Marcie Leeds, about 11 years old, appear barefoot at various points in this film, although Marcie appears in only one brief scene in which her feet appear, near the beginning of the film when she is lying on a couch and writing a letter. Most of the barefoot scenes show Grace in numerous appearances on the beach in medium distance, revealing various angles of her feet. Near the end of the film, her soon-to-be adoptive mother removes Grace's socks as the child lies on her side on her bed with her head nearest the camera and her legs in the background, and Grace's soles are shown in medium close-up, although they are slightly out of focus.

* "The Shiralee" 1988. Rebecca Smart, 11 years old, stars in this nostalgic Australian film as the newly discovered daughter of a wandering swagman and appears barefoot throughout most of the film in medium to medium close-up distances. Although this film was originally a mini-series, it is sometimes broadcast as a single feature.

* "Critters 2" 1988. Lindsay Parker, 7 years old, is shown sleeping on top of her bed as the camera slowly pans over her bare soles up to her face. In another scene, there is also an extreme close-up of her sole as it dangles off the bed.

* "The Good Mother" 1988. Asia Vieira, 6 years old, displays a few brief glimpses of her feet in medium close-up as she plays about the residence she shares with her single mother.

* "My Stepmother Is an Alien" 1988. Alyson Hannigan, 13 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet at an angle in close-up as she lies in her bed asleep with the covers off her legs. (Note: During filming, she turned 14 years old two months before production wrapped, so she may have been 14 when this scene was filmed. She was 13 a month or two into production, however.)

* "Three Fugitives" 1989. Sarah Rowland Doroff, 7 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she is being carried up the stairs to the bedroom and later when being lifted from a tub after her bath.

* "Troop Beverly Hills" 1989. Jenny Lewis, 11 years old, Kellie Martin, 13 years old, Ami Foster, 13 years old, and many other pre-teen and barely-teen actresses are seen barefoot in medium distance as they sit around in their pajamas telling ghost stories in a hotel. Later, some members of the troop show their soles during a pedicure at a salon when they have cotton between their toes.

* "Field of Dreams" 1989. Gaby Hoffman, 6 years old, is shown barefoot in medium close-up when she is carried to bed in her pajamas as she sleeps in the arms of her father.

* "Uncle Buck" 1989. Gaby Hoffmann, 7 years old, appears barefoot in this movie several times, but especially clearly when she refuses to sleep in her own bed and ends up sleeping with her Uncle Buck on top of the covers. Her feet appear in medium close-up.

* "The Challengers" 1989. Gema Zamprogna, 12 years old, displays her bare feet while lying down upon and then sitting up on a couch in this made-for-cable Canadian production. The view of Gema's feet is medium close-up.

* "Prancer" 1989. Rebecca Harrell, 8 years old, shows the tops of her feet in medium distance as she walks barefoot in her nightgown in an early scene in the film. (Rebecca was 8 one month before filming began and turned 9 in the middle of the two-month production, so she may have been just 9 when this scene was shot.)

* "Arachnophobia" 1990. Marlene Katz, 9 years old, sits on her knees in her pajamas with the camera behind her as a small spider approaches her bare feet, shown bottoms-up in a close-up shot as she is sitting. (Note: Marlene turned 10 on the final day of filming, April 11, 1990.)

* "Three Men and a Little Lady" 1990. Robin Weisman, 6 years old, shows her feet in medium close-up while being tickled by her on-screen adopted dad. (Previous editions had listed her age as "about 7", but research shows she turned 6 a month before filming began.)

* "Mermaids" 1990. Christina Ricci, 9 years old, tries out in competition for a swimming match and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as they break from the water's surface while she kicks her legs. (When this entry was first published, it was before information was available which showed that Christina was in fact 9, not 10 as first listed, when she made this film.)

* "Ghost Dad" 1990. Brooke Fontaine, 6 years old, climbs out of bed in the early part of the movie and reveals her left sole directly at the camera in medium close-up. Her right sole is shown at a shallow angle. (Note: Brooke may have been 5 when she was filmed. Biographies of her show only her year of birth -- 1983 -- but film production ran from April to July 1989. If her birthdate fell beyond July, she was 5 when she showed her feet.)

* "Regarding Henry" 1991. Mikki Allen, 12 years old, is barefoot as she is carried on her father's back into the kitchen, but her feet in medium distance are best seen in letterbox format, since in full frame the view is slightly obscured. In another scene, she pulls her sock down to the halfway point of her foot to reveal a scar on her ankle in close-up. The heel is clearly shown but not the sole. (Note: Mikki's age is listed as 12 in this entry since she was mostly 12 during shooting, but there is a possibility she may have been 13 in her barefoot and near-barefoot scenes. She turned 13 on November 15, 1990, and the shooting schedule was September 4 - December 12, 1990.)

* "My Girl" 1991. Anna Chlumsky, 10 years old, gets into bed and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she pulls the covers over her after getting her hair brushed by her soon-to-be stepmother.

* "Return to the Blue Lagoon" 1991. Courtney Phillips, about 10 years old, who most often is listed in film credits as Courtney Barilla, appears barefoot in medium close-up during a very brief appearance.

* "Switched at Birth" 1991. Ariana Richards, 11 years old, shows her feet in this TV-movie of a child who discovers she belongs biologically to another family. In one scene, she is wearing slippers while lying on her stomach on her bed with her legs in the air, and her father comes in and removes the slippers to reveal her bare soles to the camera in medium close-up.

* "Curly Sue" 1991. Alisan Porter, 9 years old, is sitting in a rubber ring in the bathtub when she lifts her legs out of the water and shows her bare feet in medium close-up.

* "The Prince of Tides" 1991. Brandlyn Whitaker, about 5 years old, lives by the ocean with her family and frequently displays her bare feet while in her swimsuit or nightgown. At one point she crawls onto her father's lap and shows the bottoms of her feet to the camera in medium close-up. Her two sisters are played by Lindsay Wray, 14 years old, and Maggie Collier, about 12 years old, who are also barefoot in some scenes, but Brandlyn's feet provide the best views.

* "Honey, I Blew up the Kid" 1992. Various little girls (names and ages not available here) show their feet in medium close-up while watching a magic show.

* "Betrayal of the Dove" 1992. Heather Lind, about 7 years old, appears barefoot in a couple of scenes in medium close-up views.

* "Heidi" 1993. Noley Thornton, 9 years old, is lying in bed with her friend Klara and has her bare feet against the end rail of the bed in this TV mini-series (also available as a single feature). In this scene, Noley shows the top half of her soles to the camera in medium close-up. Admirers of girlfeet may find the incomplete shot of her soles to be unsatisfying but others may find even a half-view to be worthwhile.

* "They" 1993. Brandlyn Whitaker, about 7 years old, in this TV-movie also known as "They Watch," shows her feet side-on in medium close-up when she sits on her dad's lap. In another scene she falls asleep on the stairs and displays her soles in medium close-up as her dad takes her to bed.

* "The House of the Spirits" 1993. Sasha Hanau, about 6 years old, shows her feet in medium to medium close-up when in multiple scenes she gets out of bed, walks outside at night, stands on a stool while her mother fits her with a dress, and swims with a boy in a natural pool at its edge and later gets picked up by her father when he discovers her there.

* "Miracle on 34th Street" 1994. Mara Wilson, 7 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she gets out of bed, walks over to a trunk and kneels down, with the camera at an angle behind her.

* "I'll Do Anything" 1994. Whittni Wright, 5 years old, lifts her feet as her dad tucks her into a sleeping bag in the bedroom, and her right sole shows close-up to the lens in a slightly out-of-focus view. In a separate shot, Whittni's feet show in medium distance as she sits on her bed. (Previous editions of this list showed her age as 6. However, she was 4 when filming began and turned 5 about two months before the movie wrapped. Therefore, it is possible her barefoot scenes were shot when she was 4, but she was no older than 5.)

* "No Dessert Dad, Till You Mow the Lawn" 1994. Allison Mack, 11 years old, is singing in the bathtub with her foot resting against the tap. The scene includes a close-up of her toes, which are painted purple.

* "Deep Red" 1994. Lindsey Haun, 9 years old, holds up her right foot and shows her sole in close-up while riding in the back seat of a car as she and some adults are escaping from a mad scientist. Midway through the film she runs barefoot on the beach away from the camera, with the bottoms of her feet seen with each step from close-up to distant, although freeze-frame reveals most views to be slightly blurry. Later when she is strapped to a gurney in the mad scientist's laboratory, the camera reveals her bare feet in medium close-up as she lies perpendicular to the camera, her soles pointed to the lens.

* "Corrina, Corrina" 1994. Tina Majorino, 9 years old, has numerous barefoot scenes in the film, including those in medium close-up in which she floats on a rubber raft in a backyard pool and sits on a step with her grandmother. She also jumps on her bed with her legs straight out in front of her, trampoline-style, her soles toward the camera in near close-up as she descends in slow-motion to the bed. The slow-motion action better enables a clearer video capture.

* "Burnt by the Sun" 1994. Nadia Mikhalkov, 6 years old, shows the bottom of her right foot in close-up as her father lifts her ankle while they float downstream in a rowboat.

* "Children of the Dark" 1994. Lindsey Haun, 9 years old, and Annalise Ashdown, about 6 years old, appear barefoot in this TV-movie in a scene where they are lying on sun beds at night, their soles clearly visible in medium close-up.

* "Angela" 1995. Miranda Stuart Rhyne, about 10 years old, and Charlotte Eve Blythe, about 6 years old, star in this film about the world of childhood and have numerous scenes which display their feet from close-up to medium views. Occasionally the girls show their soles, as in one scene in which Charlotte sits on the edge of a bed, kicks off her shoes, then turns to climb farther upon the bed and reveals the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up. Miranda displays her soles at an angle in medium close-up when she lies down near the river's edge as she talks with a boy.

* "Freaky Friday" 1995. Gaby Hoffman, 13 years old, shows the soles of her feet in medium close-up several times when she ascends the ladder of a diving board in her swimsuit and in medium distance shots when she walks about the swimming pool area.

* "The Secret of Roan Inish" 1995. Jeni Courtney, about 10 years old, goes barefoot a number of times for the first hour of the film, which takes place near the Irish seashore. Her feet appear in medium to medium close-up distances.

* "Magic In The Water" 1995. Sarah Wayne, about 10 years old, displays her sandy bare feet in close-up while she is standing on the beach, the camera pointing downward. She also appears in open sandals while sitting cross-legged on a pier, and later is shown barefoot on the same pier with a medium distance shot of the tops and sides of her feet (but which appears as medium close-up when the "zoom" function is used). The only scenes in which her soles appear are when she walks in a nighttime shot to the end of the pier, then turns and runs back to her house. The view of her soles, however, is distant and dark, and even freeze-frame and "zoom" are inadequate for a clearer picture.

* "City of Lost Children" 1995. Judith Vittet, 9 years old, receives a foot massage from a man accompanying her as they pause to rest on a city street. The bottom of her foot is shown medium close-up in this French-language film.

* "Waterworld" 1995. Tina Majorino, 10 years old, appears barefoot in medium close-up in many scenes, but the moments are often quick and require freeze-frame to be observed effectively. Among the scenes where her feet show are when she is walking about the deck of a ship and while learning to swim, when she rolls backward into the water exposing her soles. She also shows her soles underwater as she kicks while clinging to the neck of her swimming teacher. Near the end of the film when she is sitting on the beach and showing the tops of her feet, then shows the bottoms when she runs.

* "Race Against Time: The Search for Sarah" 1996. Caitlin Wachs, 6 years old, lies on her bed in this TV-movie while reading a book with her aunt. Caitlin then pushes her socks off using her feet and eventually puts her soles in full view of the camera in medium close-up.

* "Pinocchio's Revenge" 1996. Brittany Alyse Smith, about 10 years old, has a scene in which we see a three-second look at her right foot in medium close-up.

* "Ghosts of Mississippi" 1996. Alexa Vega, 7 years old, has numerous barefoot scenes while wearing her nightgown both inside and outside the house. Views of her soles can be seen in medium close-up as she is carried around the house in the arms of her father.

* "Ponette" 1996. Victoire Thivisol, 4 years old, walks around barefoot in her pajamas in this French film about a motherless little girl at a boarding school. In one scene she lifts her legs out of bed and shows the bottom of her foot in medium close-up, but it is a brief shot requiring freeze-frame.

* "La Monos" 1997. Claudia Molina, about 10 years old, dances a flamenco barefoot atop a barrel to entertain the men of the village in this Spanish-language film. Her feet are shown close-up as she dances. Afterward her father places her shoes back on and handles her feet in medium close-up. (Note: a tilde appears over the "n" in the film's title, but current software for this list prevents its inclusion.)

* "A Simple Wish" 1997. Mara Wilson, 9 years old, displays her feet in medium close-up in an early scene where she sits on her father's lap and is lifted up to be taken to bed.

* "Jurassic Park 2 - The Lost World" 1997. Camilla Belle, 10 years old, explores an island beach while barefoot. When she comes upon a tiny dinosaur near the edge of the jungle, she kneels to examine the creature and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up. (Note: Camilla may have been 9 years old in this scene; shooting started a month before she turned 10.)

* "FairyTale: A True Story" 1997. Florence Hoath, 12 years old, and Elizabeth Earl, 9 years old, are barefoot while playing in a river, and show their feet numerous times while walking about indoors, climbing stairs and getting in and out of each other's beds as well as their own. Most of the views are in medium close-up, with at least one sole view in a fleeting moment as Florence brings her feet out from under the covers to get out of bed. (Note: It is possible that Florence may have been 11 years old when her barefoot scenes were made; her 12th birthday was in July 1996 and the film was shot from May to August 1996.)

* "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes" 1997. Courtney Pelden, 15 years old, and all of her friends show their feet throughout the entire movie. In one scene Courtney arrives home from gymnastics school and rips her shoes and socks off. She then uses her bare feet to antagonize her mother who is on the telephone. (This film is listed here for those who may regard a 15-year-old as a child, especially since Courtney appears younger than 15 in this film, although many do not consider someone of her age to be a child.)

* "Deep Impact" 1998. Katie Hagan, 8 years old, shows her feet but not her soles in medium distance as she sits on the lap of one of her parents while the family watches a TV news story about an approaching asteroid. (Note: Katie turned 8 when the film was made, but she may have been 7 when her barefoot scene was shot. She was born in August 1989, and the production schedule ran from June to October 1997.)

* "Madeline" 1998. Hatty Jones, 9 years old, in the title role, and her various schoolmates appear barefoot several times in the movie as they walk and run about in their nightgowns. In a couple of instances Hatty shows the soles of her feet in medium close-up as she lies on her stomach and reaches over the edge of a bed, and in a later scene when she stoops to pet her dog.

* "Hope Floats" 1998. Mae Whitman, 8 years old, shows the tops of her feet briefly in medium distance when coming into her grandma's bedroom. (Note: Mae may have been 9 in the scene. She turned 9 in June 1997 during a May-to-July 1997 filming schedule.)

* "Billboard Dad" 1998. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 12 years old, are members of a swim team who display their bare feet numerous times in this straight-to-video film. The twins walk about barefoot at poolside, and at one point on a lounge chair Mary-Kate lifts both feet up and clearly displays her soles directly to the camera in medium close-up. Ashley also shows the bottoms of her feet in medium to medium close-up when she walks to the diving platform. Later both girls display their feet in medium close-up, and Mary-Kate her right sole, when they visit a pedicure salon.

* "Paulie" 1998. Hallie Kate Eisenberg, 5 years old, exhibits her toes in extreme close-up several times while wearing sandals early in the film. Minutes later, in a bedroom scene, she gives a brief glimpse of her bare feet in medium close-up when she throws the covers back from the bed and swings her legs to the floor.

* "The Parent Trap" 1998. Lindsay Lohan, 11 years old, has several close-up barefoot scenes as she jumps out of her summer camp bed and as she walks on a pier to dive into a lake. Later, in a scene at the California home, her left sole is briefly seen in medium close-up when she tucks her legs underneath herself.

* "A Map of the World" 1999. Kayla Perlmutter, about 5 years old, cavorts barefoot upside-down in the lap of her mother, finally leaning backward toward the camera to show her soles in medium close-up. She also lies in a tangle in bed asleep with her sister, played by real-life sister Dara Perlmutter, about 8 years old, and a neighbor girl, Hayley Lochner, 8 years old, their bare feet shown in medium close-up in dim light but somewhat obscured from view because of their overlapping positions. In another bedroom scene, Kayla sleeps on her parents' bed with her soles toward the lens in medium close-up, again in dim light, as the camera slowly dollies to her. Dara also appears barefoot in a medium distance shot while she stands on a kitchen chair.

* "Rip Girls" 2000. Camilla Belle, 13 years old, is barefoot throughout most of this film in a storyline about dedicated surfers. She shows her feet in multiple scenes from a number of angles, from medium to medium close-up, including her soles, although some views require freeze-frame for best observation.

* "Run the Wild Fields" 2000. Alexa Vega, 10 years old, shows her bare feet, including a close-up of her toes, while she is getting sized for a new dress by her mother. She also shows her feet in medium close-up when an adult house guest picks her up and swings her around prior to a dance lesson, and she shows her feet in medium distance as she plants seeds in the family's farm fields.

* "The Miracle Worker" 2000. Hallie Kate Eisenberg, 7 years old, is barefoot in a single scene in this TV-movie as she dangles her legs from the edge of a pond. Best viewed by freeze-frame, Hallie shows the bottoms of each of her feet singularly, then both at once, as she splashes in the water in a medium distance shot.

* "Where the Heart is" 2000. Mackenzie Fitzgerald, 4 years old, can be seen barefoot in this movie when she is sleeping with her friends, who are also barefoot, on the couch downstairs. Their feet are seen in medium close-up.

* "Snow Day" 2000. Zena Grey, 10 years old, climbs out of bed after she awakes to find that it is snowing that morning. When she lifts her legs from under the covers there is a brief but blurry view of her feet in medium close-up, but then she climbs on a shelf in front of her window and kneels to look out at the falling snow. With the camera behind her, she shows the bottoms of both feet for several seconds in medium close-up and holds them steady so that freeze-frame is not required.

* "The Others" 2001. Alakina Mann, 11 years old, is briefly shown dancing barefoot in medium distance in a sunlit room towards the end of the movie, with various angles of her feet but not her soles.

* "Mockingbird Don't Sing" 2001. Tarra Steele, 10 years old, is kept prisoner by her father and strapped to a chair while she is barefoot. Early in the film there are many medium to close-up shots of her feet as she sits in the chair.

* "Don't Say a Word" 2001. Skye McCole Bartusiak, 8 years old, after being kidnapped and losing her socks in the struggle, is barefoot throughout the rest of the movie. In one scene she is sitting on a bed and her foot is dangling from the edge, and the camera slowly pans from the bottom of the bed to the top, showing her toes in medium close-up. Her soles can also be seen in medium close-up as she gets up and tries to communicate with her mother.

* "Osmosis Jones" 2001. Elena Franklin, 11 years old, sits barefoot on a couch near her father as he recovers from a stomach upset. Elena's feet are shown briefly in medium distance as she sits and then stands before walking to her dad. Her soles do not appear in the scene. (Earlier listings showed her age as 12, but research revealed she was still 11 when shooting for the film wrapped, about two months before her 12th birthday.)

* "Rabbit-Proof Fence" 2002. Everlyn Sampi, 12 years old, Tianna Sansbury, about 8 years old, and Laura Monaghan, about 10 years old, all show their feet from various angles, including their soles, from close-up to medium distance, throughout this story of three kidnapped girls who find their way home by way of a 1500-mile Australian Outback fence. In the DVD feature of "The Making of Rabbit-Proof Fence," the documentary has numerous close-ups of the soles of the girls, especially Everlyn.

* "In America" 2002. Sarah Bolger, 11 years old, shows the sides and tops of her feet in close-up as she slowly descends the ladder of her bunk bed in her pajamas. (It is possible she may have been 10 years old when the scene was shot, but a production schedule to match against the film's release date has not yet been found.)

* "The Ring" 2002. Daveigh Chase, 11 years old, climbs barefoot out of a well and walks into a house to terrorize its inhabitants in this horror film. During a part of this scene the camera shows her feet in close-up as she walks, soiled and bruised and made up to appear as if she is a member of the "undead."

* "Stranded" 2002. Bonnie Wright, 10 years old, is shipwrecked on an island with her family in this TV-movie. She is barefoot throughout the remainder of the film, although her feet do not appear in every shot. In most scenes where her feet appear, the camera distance is medium. However, in one scene in which she is swimming in a lagoon with her family, her foot comes out of the water in medium close-up, although it is a slightly blurry and quick view which requires freeze-frame.

* "Panic Room" 2002. Kristen Stewart, 10 years old, plays Jodie Foster's diabetic daughter and displays her feet in medium close-up in many scenes. At one point, when she goes into a coma, her soles are shown in extreme close-up as she clinches her toes and then relaxes them. (Kristen's age was originally and erroneously listed as "11 years old" but she was still 10 when shooting started in January 2001; she turned 11 in April 2001 after shooting had wrapped up.)

* "Whale Rider" 2002. Keisha Castle-Hughes, 11 years old, is barefoot throughout nearly the entire film. Close-ups of her feet are seen when she is riding a bicycle and when she climbs onto the back of a beached whale. The bottoms of her feet clearly show in these latter scenes. (Although the film was released when she was 12, she was 11 at the time of filming.) This movie ranks near the top of this list in the large number of foot scenes therein, along with "Peter Pan" and "Nim's Island."

* "We Were Soldiers" 2002. Sloane Momsen, 4 years old, is in pajamas and barefoot as she prays with her family at bedside. While she kneels, the camera lingers on her bare feet in near close-up, where her soles are in three-quarter angle to the camera.

* "Uptown Girls" 2003. Dakota Fanning, 8 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet when she is tossed to the floor after dancing with her nanny, lands on her posterior, and quickly raises a foot as she recovers, revealing her sole in medium close-up. She also displays her feet in several other scenes, such as when she is serving pretend "tea" with Brittany Murphy, with the camera showing Dakota's feet in medium close-up as she sits at the table. She also is barefoot when she leaves her room to visit her bedridden father down the hallway, with views of her soles in medium distance as she walks.

* "Off the Map" 2003. Valentina de Angelis, about 12 years old, lies on her stomach near a lake as she writes a letter while wearing a swimsuit. Her bare feet are raised behind her, and the camera shows her left sole in medium distance as her right foot rests against the left.

* "The Adventures of Ociee Nash" 2003. Skyler Day, 11 years old, in the title role of 9-year-old Ociee (pronounced OH-see), shows her feet on two separate occasions in this film, set in 1898 in the American South. In one scene when she awakes in the morning, she brings her feet out from under the covers, but both feet appear quickly and slightly blurry in medium close-up. In a later scene, she gets into bed at night and again quickly shows her feet, but freeze-frame and step-advance reveal several frames in which her left sole is noticeably sharp and facing to the camera, with her right foot tucked beneath her left ankle in a medium close-up view. Toward the end of the film, Jasmine Sky, 12 years old, shows the bottom of her right foot in medium close-up when she leaves her bed during an escape from her burning house, but her foot is in faint light and details are difficult to see. When Jasmine descends from a tree as she is rescued, her feet appear in medium distance, but again in faint light.

* "Eloise at Christmastime" 2003. Sofia Vassilieva, 10 years old, has a brief barefoot scene when she kicks the covers from her bed and reveals her feet, including her soles at about a three-quarter angle to the camera, positioned directly above the bed in medium distance in this TV-movie.

* "Osama" 2003. Marina Golbahari, 13 years old, first appears barefoot when she awakens while sleeping sitting up in a chair and under a blanket. The camera focuses on her right foot in medium close-up, then pans slowly up to her face. Later the camera, in an opposite move, pans from her face to both her feet in medium close-up while she jumps rope in a small interior room where she works. Still later she climbs a tree in a school playground, then shows her feet in close-up as she climbs upon a boy's shoulders when she descends from the tree. She shows her soles in medium distance shots when she ascends the tree, then in long shots when she is running away from the camera.

* "The Goodbye Girl" 2004. Hallie Kate Eisenberg, 11 years old, sits on a bed and shows her soles at an angle in medium close-up with her legs curled up at the beginning of this made-for-cable remake. When she raises her feet to slip them under the covers, her left sole shows directly to the camera in a instant which must be caught on freeze-frame. At the end of the film, she again climbs off a bed and displays her left foot again from the side in medium close-up.

* "Hotel Rwanda" 2004. Several girls about 8 years old to 10 years old (whose identities could not be determined in the credits) dance an African folk dance on a stage near the hotel about midway through the film. All are barefoot, and the camera shows their feet in medium close-up, particularly those of the lead dancer, about 10 years old, and she reveals her soles as she moves.

* "Man on Fire" 2004. Dakota Fanning, 9 years old, is coached in swimming lessons by her bodyguard and shows her bare feet many times both under the water and topside when she stands and dives from the edge of the pool during practice sessions and in competition. Most are medium distance views of her feet from all angles, including her soles, but one shot shows the top and sides of her feet in close-up when she readies for a dive. Because of the fast action of the swimming, freeze-frame is required for best views. In two other scenes which take place in her bedroom, Dakota shows the bottoms of her feet when she leaps into bed and slips her feet under the covers. However, the distance is long and the scenes are dimly lit, making her bareness of her feet difficult to see, if in fact she is barefoot and not wearing socks.

* "The Door in the Floor" 2004. Elle Fanning, 6 years old, while barefoot pulls a chair down a hallway in medium close-up and shows mostly all of her feet except the soles, which are seen only at a shallow angle. (Freeze-frame and zoom are required for best viewing.) She also gets picked up by her father and later her nanny, and although the tops and sides of her feet in these scenes are shown in close-up, again the soles are shown only at a shallow angle, requiring freeze-frame and zoom. (Elle may have been 5 in these scenes, but it is unlikely, since the production schedule began 10 days before she turned 6.)

* "Chestnut: Hero of Central Park" 2004. Abigail Breslin, 7 years old, climbs into bed with her on-screen sister, Makenzie Vega, 9 years old, at the orphanage where they live, and Abigail shows medium close-up views of her bare feet, including the soles, as she does so. Later in the film she shows them again as she once again climbs into bed with Makenzie, again in medium close-up, after they are adopted by a couple. In one scene Makenzie displays her bare feet, including the soles, when she accidentally falls into the tub while both girls are washing their pet dog, the title character of the film. All of the foot scenes are best viewed in freeze-frame and with the "zoom" function if available.

* "Hide and Seek" 2005. Dakota Fanning, 10 years old, appears barefoot in the doorway of the bathroom as her on-screen father examines some eerie writing on the tile walls. Her feet are shown in medium close-up as she stands. In other scenes in which she lies in bed, she brings her feet out from under the covers, but the scenes are from behind closet mini-shades and the views are obscured.

* "Cave of the Yellow Dog" 2005. Nansal Batchuluun, about 6 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet as she reclines against a wall while playing with her pet dog. The scene is inserted beside the rolling end credits and shows her feet at a medium distance.

* "Because of Winn-Dixie" 2005. AnnaSophia Robb, 9 years old (who sometimes is credited in her films with the spelling "Annasophia"), appears barefoot in medium close-up as she washes her dog "Winn-Dixie" in the front yard. She continues to show her feet in medium close-up as she sits down minutes later on the front steps of her mobile home, then in later scenes shows her feet, including her soles at a shallow angle, as she gets into bed for the night. At two separate times in the film she is barefoot as she walks about the mobile home in her nightgown, although the scenes are partly obscured by darkness. In perhaps the best scene, she sits on the kitchen floor barefoot and is picked up by her father while she is wearing her nightgown and is carried to bed, with her feet nearest to the camera in comparison with other views. Her soles appear at a shallow angle in the kitchen scene. (Earlier editions listed her age as 10, but she turned 10 eight days before filming wrapped. It is possible, but unlikely, that she may have been 10 in some of the barefoot scenes.)

* "Nine Lives" 2005. Dakota Fanning, 10 years old, appears in the final segment of this nine-episode vignette of women's lives, when she and her mother place a blanket on the ground for a picnic. Dakota removes her shoes and reveals her feet, including her soles, in medium close-up. Later she climbs a tree and shows the tops and soles of her feet in medium close-up again.

* "Dark Water" 2005. Ariel Gade, 7 years old, bounces barefoot on her bed as the camera views her feet in medium close-up, then she lies down on the bed with her legs stretched out as the camera views her from an overhead angle in a medium shot. The scene is brief, and only the tops of her feet, not the soles, are shown.

* "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" 2005. Georgie Henley, 9 years old, slips her bare feet into boots when she arises from bed early in the film in a medium close-up view. Later in the movie she jumps out of bed barefoot to follow the lion Aslan in a medium distance shot. In both scenes the tops and sides of her feet are shown but not her soles. (Note: Although the film was released in December 2005 when Georgie was 10, the movie was shot from June to December 2004, from the time she was not quite 9 years old to when she was 9 and 1/2 upon the film's completion.)

* "Water" 2005. Sarala Kariyawasam, 8 years old, is barefoot throughout the entire film. She shows her bare feet in close-up immediately in the opening scene, then proceeds to display her feet in nearly every scene that follows. In this story about the treatment of widowed women in 1938 India, Sarala's feet are shown from extreme close-up to long distances throughout the film, with medium close-up views the most abundant. In one scene her soles appear in medium close-up as she lies down on a mat while a young adult woman briefly tickles them, and in other scenes her soles show to the camera whenever she walks away from it.

* "Little Miss Sunshine" 2006. Abigail Breslin, 9 years old, appears barefoot during the swimsuit competition of the title pageant in medium distance views, but the scene is brief. A better view is earlier in the film when her grandfather puts her to bed and she shows the bottoms of her feet clearly in medium close-up when she puts them under the covers. The scene is best viewed in freeze-frame and with the "zoom" function if available.

* "The Holiday" 2006. Emma Pritchard, about 5 years old, lies on her stomach on her bed with her sister and dad, her legs and feet lying outside the covers and her soles to the camera in medium close-up (but close-up with "zoom"). Miffy Englefield, 6 years old, who plays Emma's older sister, is also barefoot in the shot, but her left foot is under the covers and her right foot is partially obscured by the bedding. (Note: Miffy was 6 when shooting began in January 2006 and turned 7 in March before production wrapped in June. It is possible, therefore, that she may have been 7 when the barefoot scene was made. As of this publication, no data is available for the exact age of Emma. Additionally, a correction here: in earlier editions of this list, Emma's and Miffy's names were reversed in the descriptions of their foot scenes.)


* "1408" 2007. Jasmine Jessica Anthony, 9 years old, walks barefoot through a New York apartment over trash and broken glass caused by a ghostly force in this supernatural thriller. Her feet are bleeding as she walks before she is taken up into the arms of her on-screen father, and she quickly shows her soles as he picks her up. Only the tops of her feet are shown while she walks, but for a few seconds a close-up view is made. Otherwise the views are medium close-up as she walks and become a medium distance by the time she reaches her father.


* "Bridge to Terabithia" 2007. Bailee Madison, 6 years old, briefly shows her bare feet in medium distance when she runs to be picked up by her father in her bedroom.

* "The Game Plan" 2007. Madison Pettis, 8 years old, climbs onto a sofa and shows the bottoms of her bare feet in medium distance while she wears pajamas. She also shows partial views of her feet in medium close-up when she sits cross-legged in her pajamas, but the views are largely obscured by the position of her legs.

* "No Bikini" 2007. Matreya Fedor, 10 years old, portrays a 7-year-old who goes topless at swimming lessons to "pass" as a boy. This mainstream G-rated family film short shows Matreya's bare feet at various angles in numerous scenes, both in the pool and out, including her soles in medium close-up. An example is a scene in which she slides down a water slide at the pool, showing the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up, but quickly, requiring freeze-frame. Most of her other barefoot scenes do not require freeze-frame but perhaps the use of the "zoom" function of the remote.

* "Enchanted" 2007. Rachel Covey, 7 years old, appears barefoot in a few scenes in medium distance as she walks about the house and while she is riding on her father's back with her feet in front of him. In one scene her soles appear in medium distance as she runs to answer the door. (Rachel may have been 8 in some or all of the scenes, because she turned 8 in June 2006 during a film schedule that ran from April to August of that year.)

* "The Nines" 2007. Elle Fanning, 8 years old, walks barefoot briefly around the kitchen in her home and show the tops and sides of her feet in medium close-up, but no soles.

* "Hounddog" 2007. Dakota Fanning, 12 years old, displays her bare feet throughout this film in nearly every scene she is in, from close-ups, such as in the opening scene, to medium close-up and medium distances. Most of the scenes show the tops of her feet, but occasionally she also shows her soles. In one scene, when she lies on her stomach on top of her bed with the camera behind her, her soles appear in close-up. (Note: the film was shot when she was 12; Dakota was 14 upon its release.)

* "Reservation Road" 2007. Elle Fanning, 8 years old, jumps barefoot on the bed her mom in lying in and shows her soles in medium close-up as she stretches forward on the covers.

* "Definitely, Maybe" 2008. Abigail Breslin, 11 years old, appears mainly barefoot in this film as she listens to a story from her father in her bedroom about how her parents first met. In one scene she lies on her bed while talking with her dad and lifts her legs behind her to reveal the soles of both feet in medium close-up as she swings them back and forth. When the camera dollies in toward the end of the scene to concentrate on her father, Abigail's swinging left sole appears as nearly a close-up off to the side of the screen. She also shows her soles in a later scene when she pushes herself out of bed, and in still another scene the tops of her feet are displayed when she places them atop a low chest of drawers.

* "Nim's Island" 2008. Abigail Breslin, 11 years old, is barefoot throughout most of the film in this story of a child who lives on a remote island in the South Pacific with her father. The dozens of foot scenes range from long distance to close-up, with most in medium close-up. For example, her bare feet slosh through surf and run the dense green growth in close-up, and wrap themselves around a sliding rope ride in medium close-up. In a scene which shows her soles in another medium close-up, she props both feet on a table as she talks on the phone, and in a separate phone scene has the long curly phone line placed between her toes. The phone scenes give a longer view of her feet in a single take than any other shot, and give by far the most extended views of the bottoms of her feet. Her soles appear in many other shots, but only briefly, as when for example she is walking along the beach. Along with "Peter Pan" and "Whale Rider", this film ranks near the top of this list in total foot scenes.

* "Bedtime Stories" 2008. Laura Ann Kesling, 8 years old, lies on top of her bed with her feet up behind her in the mid-part of the film, revealing her soles in medium close-up, as she listens to her uncle tell her bedtime stories. In the same scene the tops and sides of her feet appear in medium distance but in slightly out-of-focus views in the background. Early in the film she climbs into bed barefoot but in medium-long distance, and her feet appear so quickly it is difficult to see them.

* "The Secret Life of Bees" 2008. Dakota Fanning, 14 years old, walks barefoot in a swamp and shows her feet from medium close-up to close-up, later removing her shoes to again walk barefoot in the water with close-up views, then still later displays the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she lies across her bed.

* "Let the Right One In" 2008. Lina Leandersson, 12 years old, shows her feet in extreme close-up when she walks in and out of a hospital hallway. She also has numerous barefoot scenes in her apartment and in her boyfriend's bedroom, in medium close-up, sometimes showing her soles as she walks from the camera. In other scenes when she's running, her soles also can be seen in medium distance. In a shower scene, her feet appear in medium close-up with the tops and soles shown briefly. (Note: Lina was cast at 11 years of age, according to news sources, but her exact age during film production as yet has not been found. She could not have been older than 13. The age of 12 is noted above because she looked the part of 12 more so than that of an 11-year-old, but it is still possible that her barefoot scenes were made when she was 11.)

* "My Sister's Keeper" 2009. Olivia Jade Fine, about 6 years old, is shown barefoot in medium distance as she kicks and screams while being carried against her character's will into an operating room for a procedure. The sides and tops of her feet are visible but not her soles.

* "Case 39" 2009. Jodelle Ferland, 11 years old, is carried barefoot in her father's arms down a staircase and shows her soles at an angle in medium close-up. In the scene afterward, she continues to show views of her feet other than soles in medium close-up when she is being pulled about on the kitchen floor. Later in the film, the tops of both feet are shown in close-up when the social worker reaches for a dropped screw and touches Jodelle's toes, and still later Jodelle walks barefoot by the social worker's bed, with the point-of-view from underneath the matress looking out in medium close-up. (Note: This film was shot in 2006 when Jodelle was 11 but not released until three years later.)

* "Piranha 3D" 2010. Brooklynn Proulx, 10 years old, walks along a lake beach barefoot, the tops of her feet seen in medium distance, and later straddles a rope as she flees a sinking boat and shows her feet in close-up, including her soles at an angle. That scene of her feet is quick, however, and requires freeze-frame. Toward the end of the film, she kneels on the deck of a boat and tucks her legs beneath her, showing her soles in medium close-up. (Released in 2010, the film went into production a month after Brooklynn turned 10 in April 2009.)

* "Gutted" 2010. Emma Rayne Lyle, 7 years old, climbs onto a couch barefoot and lies down beside a man seated there in this unreleased art film. She places her feet against the man's leg and prods him several times with her toes. The view of her feet is in extreme close-up and shows the tops of her feet but not her soles. (Although screened at a film festival but not generally released, Emma's barefoot scene is available on YouTube.)

* "Ramona and Beezus" 2010. Joey King, 9 years old, shows the top half of her soles in extreme close-up after she has drawn smiley faces on the bottoms of her big toes. In other scenes, she displays her soles in both close-up and medium close-up as she twirls about in a tutu, then falls back into a stage prop bed shaped like a slice of bread; the tops of her feet are also seen in medium close-up as Joey sits on her heels as a roll of wallpaper uncurls toward her; and the bottoms of her feet show in medium close-up as she accidentally falls through a ceiling and dangles her feet below her as she holds on to the attic floor. She also shows her feet in medium close-up as she walks about outside the house in an angry fit, plus shows her feet in medium close-up when her father picks her up during the wedding dance. Later, at the closing credits, Joey displays her soles when she dances, raising her feet on her toes with her back to the camera. (Special note: Although this film was released exactly one week before Joey turned 11 in July 2010, she was only 9 when production ran from April to June 2009.)

* "The Spy Next Door" 2010. Alina Foley, 5 years old, is barefoot in her pajamas and shows her feet in medium close-up as she tumbles about with her babysitter. (Note: Although the film was released in 2010, shooting began in October 2008 when Alina was 5 and concluded well before she turned 6.)

* "Silent House" 2011. Haley Murphy, about 8 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she sits on the edge of a bed, then shows the tops and sides of her feet as she gets off the bed and walks away. However, the scene is very dark and her soles appear almost as silhouettes. The rest of her feet as she walks away, though, are better lit and more easily seen. Her face is not shown here because the camera is beneath the bed and shooting at floor level, but Haley's face is in view in a separate scene in which she appears in a bathtub.

* "The Change-Up" 2011. Sydney Rouviere, 7 years old, shows her feet near the end of the film when she climbs into a chair while she wears pajamas. In a medium view, she allows her legs to hang over the edge of the cushion in a chair too big for her, and she shows her soles as a result. (According to Web sources, she completed filming of "The Change-Up" about three weeks before she turned 8.)

* "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer" 2011. Jordana Beatty, 12 years old, shows various angles of her feet, including her soles, in medium close-up in the opening scene of the film when she gets out of bed and rummages about her room. A later beach scene shows her barefoot, with her soles displayed as she runs from the camera view, in medium distance. In a close-up scene of the tops of her feet and an extreme close-up of her toes, she is given a toenail painting by her on-screen aunt. (Special note: some boyfeet views occur in this film, but they are few, long distance and very quick and do not qualify for inclusion in the "Girlfeet/Boyfeet" section of this list.)

* "McKenna Shoots for the Stars" 2012. Jade Pettyjohn, 10 years old, stars as a gymnast in this film, which has numerous views of her feet from varying angles and distances, from medium to close-up. Shooting for the film began in July 2011, before she turned 11 in November of that year.

* "Dark Shadows" 2012. Chloe Grace Moretz, 14 years old, sits in a dangling chair attached to the ceiling of her room and swings about barefoot, showing her feet from all angles, including her soles, in medium close. In follow-up scenes she dances barefoot in the dining room in medium distance, but the views are obscure.

* "Mama" 2013. Isabelle Nelisse, about 5 years old, has a close-up of the tops and sides of her feet when she steps out of an automobile early in the film. In other scenes in the movie, her feet appear in medium distance, but her soles are not shown.

* "Instructions Not Included" 2013. Loreto Peralta, about 8 years old, wears shoes throughout the film until the very end, when she appears barefoot on the beach. She runs about in a swimsuit in medium close-up, showing all angles of her feet, including her soles as she runs from the camera, and she shows her soles in close-up when she places her legs across her father's lap. (Note: Loreto was discovered at age 7 by the director, but thus far her exact age during production of the film cannot be found. She was no older than 9, however, and more likely was 8.)

* "Maidentrip" 2013. Laura Dekker, 14 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up when she helps her dad repair a sailboat near the beginning of this documentary. Throughout most of the film, as she ages from 14 to 16 years old, she is shown barefoot and reveals her feet in various angles to the camera (which she herself operated during the voyage) at various distances, but mostly in medium close-up because of the limited dimensions of the boat.

* "Finders Keepers" 2014. Kylie Rogers, about 9 years old, but resembling a child of perhaps 6, briefly shows her left bare foot in medium close-up when she stands beside her bed with the camera taking the shot under the bed at floor level. At another point in the film she is sitting on her bare feet cross-legged on the bed, but her feet are almost obscured by her clothing and body position. The latter view is in medium close-up.
* "Maleficent" 2014. Isobelle Molloy, 11 years old, as a young Maleficent, shows the bottoms of her feet as she flies through the air, with the camera behind her as she flies, in medium distance. She also shows the tops of her feet when she lands on a rock in a following scene in medium close-up, and her feet appear in numerous additional scenes. (Although released in 2014, the film was shot in 2012, in all but a few days of production while Isobelle was 11 years old.)
