[editorcfic]

------------------PART TWO; PART ONE is published separately ------------


5. GIRLFEET/BOYFEET


* "Santa Claus" 1898. Dorothy Smith, about 6 years old, and Harold Smith, about 7 years old, walk about barefoot in their bedroom as they wait for the arrival of Santa. They show their feet from all angles as they climb in and out of bed, including their soles, from medium distance, requiring use of the "zoom" function of the remote control for better viewing.

* "Anthony Adverse" 1936. Billy Mauch, 11 years old, is barefoot in all his scenes. He is seated at a well ledge and showing the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up when he first appears. As he walks about he also shows his soles in various distances, and when he sits at a couch in his bedroom the tops of his feet are shown in medium close-up. He also displays his soles in medium distance when he climbs a tree and when walking up stairs after meeting Anne Howard, 10 years old. Anne is also barefoot in her brief scenes, and the tops of her feet show in medium close-up. When Billy walks escorted by a priest into the town square, numerous boys in bare feet follow him about and pester him, with their feet displayed in medium to medium-long distances.

* "The Blue Bird" 1940. Shirley Temple, 11 years old, does not appear barefoot at any time in this film; however, when she and her brother visit a heavenly place where children wait to be born on Earth, they encounter dozens of boys and girls ranging in age from about 4 to 10 years old, all of whom are barefoot and show various angles of their feet from long to medium to medium close-up distances.

* "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" 1945. Margaret O'Brien, 8 years old, and Jackie "Butch" Jenkins, 8 years old, walk barefoot down a dirt road at the beginning of the film in a scene that moves from medium-long to medium close-up views. Both children have many other barefoot scenes as they return to the farm where Margaret lives, including when they are ringing the dinner bell outside and when they lift their legs as they climb over a corral fence to see livestock. Margaret shows one of her soles when she does the latter, and both children display their soles as they walk and run from the camera in medium to long distances. Margaret is also barefoot in medium close-up when she sits one night with her mother on the porch steps, and "Butch" is barefoot in a medium-distance scene as Margaret skates around the silo.

* "So Dear to my Heart" 1949. Luana Patten, 10 years old, and Bobby Driscoll, 11 years old, walk about barefoot numerous times in this film set in a rural area. The views of their feet range from medium to medium close-up, with their soles showing when they walk.

* "Houseboat" 1958. Paul Petersen, 12 years old, Charles Herbert, 9 years old, and Mimi Gibson, 9 years old, live aboard a houseboat with their widowed father and walk about barefoot on deck in numerous scenes, sometimes dangling their feet in the water, in medium to medium close-up distances.

* "A High Wind in Jamaica" 1965. Deborah Baxter, 11 years old, climbs a rope ladder aboard the pirate ship where she and her siblings have accidentally stowed away and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium distance as she ascends. She also slides about barefoot on the wet ship deck, along with her on-screen siblings Roberta Tovey, 11 years old, Jeffrey Chandler, about 10 years old, and Karen Flack, about 6 years old, as well as her on-screen friend Henry Beltran, about 12 years old, with their feet out in front of them as they slide on their backsides, with all views in medium to medium close-up. Roberta's soles can be seen in medium distance as she is sliding, if freeze-frame is used. Both Jeffrey and Henry show the bottoms of their feet in medium close-up as they lounge on the ships' ropes and netting. Martin Amis, 15 years old, who also appears barefoot, may not be considered by some filmgoers as a "child" for purposes of this list. (Note: Deborah's age was originally listed as "about 12 years old" but she confirmed in an interview that she was in fact 11 when she appeared in the film.)

* "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" 1968. Heather Ripley, 7 years old, and Adrian Hall, 7 years old, both show their bare feet while playing on the beach. In a medium close-up shot, Adrian displays the soles of his feet as they stick out of the sand in which he's been buried. Heather's feet are shown in medium close-up from the tops and sides as she walks about in the tide, and her soles are slightly visible in long shots as she runs. (Although the film was released in 1968 when both Heather and Adrian were 9 years old, they were 7 when the film was actually shot.)

* "The Blue Lagoon" 1980. Elva Josephson, 10 years old, sits on the beach with her feet out in front of her in a medium close-up view and later swims in the ocean with Glenn Kohan, 10 years old, who both show their feet in medium close-up as they swim.

* "Witness" 1985. Lukas Haas, 8 years old, gives a brief partial glimpse of his bare feet in medium close-up when he sits beside his mother to observe the barn raising activity in this film of Amish life. Other boys and girls also appear barefoot during the event in varying distances.

* "Summer Rental" 1985. Aubrey Jene, about 6 years old, and Joey Lawrence, 9 years old, appear barefoot in numerous scenes in this comedy set at a beach house. The barefoot views are medium distance.

* "She's Out of Control" 1989. Laura Mooney, 11 years old, shows the upper half of her left sole in medium distance for a few seconds as she sits cross-legged on the beach. In separate scenes, Michael Bower, 13 years old, and Dustin Diamond, 11 years old, show various views of their feet, particularly medium close-up views of their soles as they run from Laura's on-screen father on the beach. Other boys, uncredited, also appear. As in "Heidi," noted above, admirers of girlfeet may find only the half-view of Laura's left sole to be unsatisfying, but others may find even that to be worthwhile.

* "Sidekicks" 1992. Jonathan Brandis, 16 years old, who stars in this film is unlikely to be considered a "child" for this list in this karate film in which he appears barefoot. However, many unidentified boys and girls 12 and under who compete in the karate tournament toward the end of the film show their feet in medium to medium close-up distance, and often their soles.

* "The Secret Garden" 1993. Kate Maberly, 10 years old, wears her nightgown and shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up as she rests on her knees and looks out a window with the camera behind her. She also shows her soles in muted light in medium close-up when she crawls from underneath a bed in her nightgown. In another scene, her on-screen cousin, Heydon Prowse, 10 years old, lies on his back on a gurney in his nightshirt as he is being given physical therapy, and the bottoms of his feet show to the camera in medium close-up. In still another scene, both Kate and Heydon are asleep together on top of the bed, each in their nightclothes, and the camera pans slowly from the end of the bed to the head of it and shows the bare feet of both children, their soles at angle to the camera, in medium close-up. This latter scene is best viewed in letterbox edition. Throughout the film both Kate and Heydon appear barefoot in many scenes, although some views are relatively distant.

* "Addams Family Values" 1993. Christina Ricci, 13 years old, is sent to a summer camp where she participates in a skit as a barefoot American Indian princess. Her feet are shown in medium distance. Other children, boys and girls both, are shown barefoot in these scenes as well.

* "Four Rooms" 1995. Lana McKissack, 10 years old, and Danny Verduzco, 7 years old, remove their shoes and socks in a hotel room, and their feet are shown in medium distance in most of the scene. However, at one point Lana lies on a hotel bed and extends the bottom of her foot toward her on-screen younger brother, where her sole appears in close-up. Danny also shows the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up when he climbs up on a bed, then when he crosses his legs to suck his toe. (Note: filming wrapped the day Danny turned 8.)

* "Harriet the Spy" 1996. Michelle Trachtenberg, 10 years old, and her friends, Gregory Smith, 12 years old, and Vanessa Lee Chester, 11 years old, draw a design on their soles as an indication of their solidarity. In this scene, the feet of all three children are generally in medium close-up but have an extreme close-up view also, particularly of Gregory's foot as it is drawn upon. Michelle also has a scene in the bathtub where she brings her foot out of the tub, her sole in full view of the camera in medium close-up. Additionally, she has a scene in a girls' restroom where she removes one shoe and sock, and places her foot in medium close-up in a wash fountain.

* "Leave It to Beaver" 1997. Cameron Finley, 9 years old, lies barefoot on his bed, then stands up on it, in a medium close-up shot. Later in the film, Erik von Detten, 14 years old, and Erika Christensen, 14 years old, sit barefoot on the edge of pier and dangle their feet in the water in medium-long distance.

* "The Education of Little Tree" 1997. Joseph Ashton, 10 years old, stars in this film about Native American prejudice in the early 20th century and appears barefoot briefly in medium distance when he removes his shoes while climbing a trail with his grandfather. Mika Boorem, 9 years old, also appears in the film as his friend and is barefoot in at least medium distance in all of her scenes, and when she puts on a moccasin the camera shows her right foot in close-up.

* "Jungle 2 Jungle" 1997. Sam Huntington, 14 years old, appears barefoot in nearly all of his scenes in this tale of a rainforest child transplanted to New York City. From the opening shot of his climbing a mountain and standing on its peak, to walking about on the beach and sleeping in his hammock, the tops of his feet show throughout. In brief moments his soles can be seen when he walks away from the camera and, in one medium close-up scene, when he is sitting with his mother at the end of the film as she reads a story to him; however, his soles are obscured in normal full-screen format and can best be seen in widescreen ("letterbox") format. During scenes in the rainforest village, numerous unidentified boys and girls walk and run about in bare feet. Other barefoot scenes of Sam, too many to list, include when he is walking through a New York fountain and climbing the crown of the Statue of Liberty. His on-screen girlfriend, Leelee Sobieski, 13 years old, appears barefoot when she sleeps in a hammock with Sam and when she defends having done so while in the kitchen with her parents. Leelee's on-screen little brother, Frankie J. Galasso, 11 years old, shows his bare feet in a long shot as he descends the stairs and briefly in a medium shot when he walks into the kitchen during the family argument about the hammock-sleeping. (Note: Leelee Sobieski was 12 years old during the first month of production of this film, then turned 13 beginning the second month. She may have been 12, not 13, when her barefoot scenes were filmed.)

* "My Dog Skip" 2000. Caitlin Wachs, 9 years old, and Frankie Muniz, 12 years old, walk barefoot through the woods in a brief scene near the end of the film. Their feet are shown in medium distance. Although the film was released in 2000, it was shot in the spring of 1998 when Caitlin and Frankie were the ages noted.

* "Peter Pan" 2003. Rachel Hurd-Wood, 12 years old, who plays Wendy in this classic children's tale, is barefoot throughout the entire film, with the exception of one very brief scene near the beginning in which she wears slippers. Entirely barefoot from beginning to end are Jeremy Sumpter, 13 years old, as Peter Pan, and Wendy's brothers played by Harry Newell, 12 years old, and Freddie Popplewell, 7 years old. (But they turned 14, 13 and 8, respectively, as filming progressed.) As they fly about, all four main characters frequently show their bare soles and well as all angles of their entire feet, mostly in medium to close-up distances. The Lost Boys also have many barefoot scenes. The hugely numerous shots of all viewing ranges -- close-up, medium close-up, medium and long -- are too numerous to list here, but of note is a close-up of Rachel's feet as she stands on her window sill and later when she "walks the plank" on Captain Hook's ship. Also of note is an extreme close-up of Jeremy's sole at the beginning of the children's flight from the Darling's home, when Jeremy, as Peter Pan, advises Harry to grab his ankle and "hang on and don't let go." This film shows more children's feet scenes with more screen time than any other on this list in terms of numbers of children shown to be barefoot, while "Whale Rider" and "Nim's Island" show the most foot scenes of a single actress. (This film was shot from September 2002 to May 2003 and released in December 2003, and therefore the actors' varying ages at time of filming are as shown in this paragraph.)

* "Nobody Knows" 2004. Yuya Yagira, 12 years old, Ayu Kitaura, 10 years old, Hiei Kimura, 7 years old, and Momoko Shimizu, 5 years old, all show their bare feet at various times in this film about four children abandoned by their mother. As the film begins, the children are all wearing socks as they play about their apartment, but as the movie progresses they remove their socks to go barefoot, probably because of the heat. (Abandoned with little money to pay bills, the children experience their electrical power eventually being cut off.) In one scene Yuya's soles are in extreme close-up as he prepares to shower. In other scenes the bottoms of the feet of Yuya, Ayu, and Hiei appear in medium close-up as they sleep or walk about. A close-up of Ayu's feet is shown when she stands on tip-toe to look out onto the street from their apartment. Momoko's feet are also shown occasionally, once in extreme close-up, but only the top of her foot, not her sole. (Note: The ages of the children are shown as of the beginning of filming in late 2002, which continued for 18 months before release. The audience will therefore see the young actors growing somewhat, and hear Yuya's voice beginning to break.)

* "Little Manhattan" 2005. Josh Hutcherson, 11 years old, and Charlie Ray, 12 years old, frequently show their feet throughout this film. Near the beginning of the story Josh displays his soles in his bedroom in medium close-up, while Charlie shows her soles in close-up and sometimes almost extreme close-up during her karate sessions with Josh. Various other boys in the karate scenes are barefoot as well.


* "Let Me In" 2010. Chloe Grace Moretz, 12 years old, walks barefoot throughout the film as a child vampire in this remake of the Swedish thriller, and her co-star Kodi Smit-McPhee, 13 years old, reveals his feet briefly near the end of the film. The multiple scenes show Chloe's feet from medium and medium close-up to extreme close-up. When she climbs off an outdoor table, for example, the tops and sides of her feet are seen in medium close-up. In a later shower scene, they are shown in close-up; and in the final poolside scene, her feet are shown in extreme close-up. The only views of her soles are when she is running from the point of view of the camera, but the views are dark and very quick, and freeze-frame and "zoom" barely improve the picture. In the poolside scene, Kodi is attacked by bullies in the locker room, who pick him up and drag him to the pool. During this tussle the soles of his bare feet show in medium close-up to close-up to the camera, but the movements are so rapid a sharp view is difficult. (Special note: The marketing poster showing Chloe in an upside-down fetal position with bare feet is not duplicated exactly in the film; her feet show as covers are removed, but not her entire body.)

* "Dolphin Tale" 2011. Nathan Gamble, 12 years old, and Cozi Zuehlsdorff, 12 years old, each show their feet in various views and distances throughout the film. Nathan appears barefoot in the early minutes of the movie with an extreme close-up of the tops of his feet as he walks to a pool. In other scenes he shows the bottoms of his feet when he kneels to retrieve a dolphin toy and when he climbs a ladder, all in medium close-up, and his soles appear in medium close-up to close-up during many underwater shots and in one view when he dives into a pool and shows his soles clearly. Cozi appears barefoot in medium distance as she sits on a chair after removing her sandles, then shows her soles when she climbs a ladder or walks away from the camera in medium distances. Both of them have too many barefoot scenes to list separately here, but most shots will be better viewed in freeze-frame and "zoom."

* "Moonrise Kingdom" 2012. Jared Gilman, 12 years old, and Kara Hayward, 12 years old, show the tops of their bare feet together in close-up while standing and embracing on the beach. In related scenes they show their feet in various angles in medium to medium closel-up. In numerous scenes at the beginning of the film, Jake Ryan, about 8 years old; Tanner Flood, about 7 years old; and Wyatt Ralff, about 6 years old, show the tops and/or soles of their feet in medium close-up while sitting cross-legged on the floor or with their legs outstretched.


6. BOYFEET

* "The Romance of Rosy Ridge" 1947. Dean Stockwell, 11 years old, is barefoot almost throughout the entire movie and shows his feet from all angles and all distances, including close-ups, in this rural-set film. In one scene, where his feet appear to be only about a meter from the camera, he taps his feet under the dinner table to the music provided by a traveling stranger. Despite the numerous views of his feet, however, sole shots are rare and only fleeting. (Note: his age here is listed as 11 based upon limited information, but it is possible he may have been 10 during actual shooting.)

Sean's bare feet show in medium to medium close-up views at times, and his soles show quickly in a partial view when he lands in a haystack.

* "The Black Stallion" 1979. Kelly Reno, 12 years old, displays his bare feet from all angles, including his soles, when he is cast ashore on an island after a shipwreck and befriends a wild horse. In addition to showing his feet as he walks about the island, Kelly displays them when he leaps to the back of the stallion and rides him along the beaches. The best views of the bottoms of his feet, however, occur in separate scenes in medium close-up to close-up when he swims underwater away from the camera.

* "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" 1982. Henry Thomas, 10 years old, lies on a gurney barefoot as doctors examine him and his friend E.T. in a special lab. The bottoms of Henry's feet are shown in medium close-up.

* "D.A.R.Y.L." 1985. Barret Oliver, 11 years old, is barefoot on a gurney as he is rolled into an examination machine. The camera is overhead and in a comparatively long distance from Barret, but the tops of his bare feet are clearly evident.

* "Where the River Runs Black" 1986. Alessandro Rabelo, about 10 years old, is a long-haired "wild child" in the Amazonian jungle who shows his feet constantly during the first two-thirds of the film, and frequently displays his soles in medium to medium close-up as he dives in the river.

* "Vice Versa" 1988. Fred Savage, 11 years old, displays a bare foot in close-up while recovering from a sprain. The foot is in the foreground of the shot and shows his sole in slightly soft focus.

* "Cinema Paradiso" 1989. Salvatore Cascio, 8 years old, apprentices to an elderly movie projectionist and in one scene is placed upon a stool so he can be better positioned to the projector. Salvatore is barefoot in this scene, and his feet are shown close-up as he stands on the stool. This is an Italian-language film available with subtitles. (In earlier editions of this list, Salvatore was given the age of 9. However, he did not turn 9 until about three months after filming wrapped.)

* "What About Bob?" 1991. Charlie Korsmo, 12 years old, walks barefoot in his swimming trunks out to the end of a pier where his father tries to teach him to dive into a lake. Charlie does this in two separate scenes, once with his father and once with an adult friend. In the first scene, the camera shows Charlie from the waist down in medium close-up as he turns to position his toes at the edge of the pier, and he further shows his feet in medium distance as he walks away in refusal. In the second scene in medium close-up, he is sitting on an upside-down bucket on the pier while barefoot, then walks to demonstrate how to dive to the adult friend and shows his soles at an angle in medium distance as he walks. He then shows his feet and partially his soles when he dives into the lake. Moments later, when the adult friend is accidentally knocked into the water by Charlie's dad, Charlie shows his soles directly to the camera in medium-long distance as he lies down on the pier to help retrieve his friend. Later in a bedroom scene, Charlie jumps on his bed and shows his soles at an angle in medium close-up.

* "Dennis the Menace" 1993. Mason Gamble, 7 years old, kneels on a short stepladder in the bathroom and shows his bare feet in medium close-up from the side. Later he shows the bottoms of his feet in medium distance when he jumps into bed quickly, requiring freeze-frame to view well.

* "The Force" 1994. Jarrett Lennon, 12 years old, wears a karate uniform in one scene and performs martial arts moves while barefoot in this direct-to-video film. The bottoms of his feet show in medium close-up when he raises his legs to perform the moves, although they are quick and require freeze-frame to observe his soles more closely.

* "Stepmom" 1998. Liam Aiken, 8 years old, is in his pajamas and barefoot as he stands on his bed and lip-syncs "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with his family. He is also picked up and held for further barefoot scenes. The barefoot views range from medium to medium close-up.

* "Big Daddy" 1999. Cole and Dylan Sprouse, 6 years old, who as twins alternate in the role of Julian, show bare feet in a bedroom scene where Julian is wearing pajamas. In a medium distance shot, Julian's soles clearly show as he tosses and turns on the bed.

* "The Sixth Sense" 1999. Haley Joel Osment, 10 years old, kneels in two separate scenes to reveal the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up while he is wearing pajamas, although both scenes are in low light. He also shows his feet in medium and medium close-up shots when he gets out of bed and walks about the house.

* "Pay It Forward" 2000. Haley Joel Osment, 11 years old, comes out of the bedroom in his pajamas and shows the tops and sides of his feet in medium distance. He also shows his soles in shadow when he turns and walks down the hallway but it is too dark to see them. (Note: Haley turned 12 on last day of filming.)

* "The Little Vampire" 2000. Jonathan Lipnicki, 9 years old, shows his soles in medium close-up as he climbs in and out of bed in several scenes. In one scene, there is a lingering medium close-up shot of several seconds of the tops of his feet as they stick out from under the covers.

* "The Miracle of the Cards" 2001. Thomas Sangster, 11 years old, who portrays a child with a life-threatening illness, is rolled on a gurney into a hospital MRI machine. The bottoms of his bare feet are in medium close-up as he is moved.

* "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" 2001. Serge Cockburn, 10 years old, shows his feet in soft focus in medium distance as he appears in a background shot while wearing pajamas.

* "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" 2001. Daniel Radcliffe, 11 years old, climbs in his pajamas atop a window seat ledge to gaze out the window, and he displays his bare feet as he does so, but only the tops and sides. Rupert Grint, 12 years old, also has a barefoot scene in medium close-up when he and Daniel gather around a Christmas tree.

* "AI: Artificial Intelligence" 2002. Haley Joel Osment, 12 years old, is barefoot in a swimming pool scene and shows the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up as he walks about.

* "Love Actually" 2003. Thomas Sangster, 12 years old, is pulled playfully back on a couch and shows the bottoms of his feet in motion as he falls in a medium close-up shot. A scene later, he is resting on the couch with his feet on the coffee table, and his soles are shown in an even closer shot than the previous one, while not precisely close-up. Also, his feet as they rest on the table remain perfectly still for clearer viewing, although his feet are clipped slightly at the bottom of the screen even in wide-screen format.

* "Finding Neverland" 2004. Luke Spill, about 6 years old, is being carried to his bed sideways by his mother. Luke's body fills the center of the frame and displays both his bare soles in medium close-up. In the scene that follows, Freddie Highmore, 11 years old (but looking much younger), along with his on-screen brothers Joe Prospero, 15 years old, and Nick Roud, 14 years old (both also looking younger), are imagined by an onlooking J.M. Barie, author of "Peter Pan," to be flying out the bedroom window in their nightshirts. All the boys are barefoot and show the bottoms of their feet in medium distance as they exit the window.

* "Les Choristes" 2004. Maxence Perrin, 5 years old, shows his feet in medium close-up when the covers are pulled back from his bed by other schoolmates in his dormitory.

* "Dear Frankie" 2004. Jack McElhone, 10 years old, climbs into bed and shows the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up as he does so. Later in the film he appears barefoot as he lies upside-down on his back on a couch with his feet up against a wall, and later still when he is sitting up in his bed, both in medium distance shots. In another scene, the tops of his feet are shown in close-up as his mother touches a couple of his toes.

* "Ring 2" 2005. David Dorfman, 11 years old, gets out of bed barefoot when hearing mysterious noises from the living room. When he enters the room he pauses, then proceeds to the television displaying a static screen and kneels in front of it. His soles are shown in medium distance. In a separate scene, David is shown getting into a bathtub and displays his feet in medium close-up.

* "Following Sean" 2005. Sean Farrell, 4 years old, sits barefoot on a couch and plays in the streets barefoot in this full-length documentary sequel based on the 1969 documentary short "Sean", about a child growing up in the Haight-Ashbury hippie neighborhood of San Francisco. The views of his feet range from medium distance to close-up, including his soles.

* "Duma" 2005. Alex Michaeletos, about 12 years old, shows his soles in medium close-up as he lies in bed with his feet sticking out of the covers. The shot lingers for many seconds. His feet also appear during a swim session in a pool in medium distance. In an early scene in the film he runs barefoot to the toilet with his pet cheetah in his arms, but the scene is brief and his feet not easy to see. [Special note: A publicity poster for the film depicted an artist's near-photographic rendering of an African savanna with a large tree limb in the foreground. Hanging from the limb was a cheetah's curled tail and a boy's bare feet, showing the soles at an angle toward the viewer. That scene was not in the film.]

* "A Good Year" 2006. Freddie Highmore, 13 years old, stands barefoot on a diving board at a swimming pool and jumps into the water. An initial shot shows his feet close-up on the board, then his feet can be seen in medium distance as he jumps and dives.

* "Vitus" 2006. Fabrizio Borsani, about 6 years old, twice displays the soles of his feet in two different scenes in medium close-up when the camera pans slowly along the edge of his bed.

* "Martian Child" 2007. Bobby Coleman, 8 years old, shows the tops and sides of his feet in medium distance when he sits poolside at the end of the film. (Note: Bobby turned 8 just three days after filming began in 2005, but the film was not released until 2007 when he was 10.)

* "Mostly Ghostly: Who Let the Ghosts Out" 2008. Sterling Beaumon, 12 years old, walks barefoot into his bathroom and jumps with surprise at the appearance of a ghost. When he does so, he shows the tops and sides of his feet for several seconds, plus a view of his soles at a very shallow angle requiring freeze-frame and "zoom" to be seen adequately.

* "The Road" 2009. Kodi Smit-McPhee, 11 years old, shows the tops of his feet in medium close-up in a bathroom scene in very slightly soft focus. He also shows them in bed in a shelter and in a later scene when his father is massaging Kodi's foot, but the scenes are dark and Kodi's feet are indistinct. (In "The Making Of 'The Road'" as part of the DVD supplementary selections, a long distance shot captures Kodi running and dancing barefoot on the beach. Although a beach scene is included in the principal film, no barefoot viewings remain in the final editing.)

* "The Hole" 2009. Nathan Gamble, 11 years old, is seen barefoot for several minutes during a swimming pool scene, which has various views of his feet, including brief glimpses of his soles in medium close-up, as he sits poolside and later relaxes on a floating mattress. (Note: Nathan was 10 years old when shooting began but turned 11 about a month later. It is possible he may have been 10 when his foot scenes were filmed.)

* "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" 2012. CJ Adams, 10 years old, appears as the title character in this fable about a boy who is "born" from a garden. He first shows the tops of his feet in close-up when he places them on the floor after his bath, and when his on-screen mother picks up his legs to examine leaves growing from them, CJ's soles are seen in close-up for several seconds. Then he shows all angles of his feet, including his soles, in medium close-up when he is picked up to be carried off to bed. Several scenes later he sits on a table while barefoot, and aplant expert looks at the boy's leaves. The camera is beneath the table and behind CJ's legs, which dangle and show his soles at a three-quarter view in close-up. (Although CJ was 12 when the film was released, he stated in an interview that he was 10 at the time of filming.)

* "The Jungle Book" 1967. Bruce Reitherman, 11 years old, voices the character Mowgli, about 10 years old, in this jungle tale of a wild child who is barefoot throughout the movie.

She displays the bottoms of her feet in close-up as she kneels at an upstairs railing to look at activity beneath her.

* "The Snowman" 1982. A cartoon boy, about 6 years old, shows the bottoms of his feet in two separate scenes in this British short film, based on the wordless picture book for children.

* "Inspector Gadget" 1985. Holly Berger, 12 years old, voices the character Penny, about 10 years old, in this time-travel story in which Inspector Gadget and his niece return to prehistoric days. Penny discovers her ancestor from the past, an exact look-alike named Cave Penny, also voiced by Holly, who walks about barefoot throughout her scenes showing her feet in medium views, with one close-up toward the end of the story. This episode, entitled "Tyrannosaurus Gadget," was first broadcast December 28, 1985.

* "Popeye and Son" 1987. Josh Rodine, 13 years old, voices the character of Popeye Junior, about 12 years old. The series features barefoot scenes of Junior in every episode, beginning with the opening title sequence, which shows Junior surfing and crashing his board on the beach while he projects himself into a small dune and shows the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up. Throughout the series, all angles of his feet can be seen and from all distances, from long range to close-up. The series was first broadcast in 1987 and ran until the following year.

* "The B.F.G." 1989. Amanda Root, an adult, voices the character Sophie, about 10 years old, in a film about a Big Friendly Giant (the acronym of the title). In one scene, Sophie splashes about in an indoor swimming pool and shows her feet often, once raising her foot out of the water to reveal her sole in medium close-up.

* "All Dogs Go to Heaven" 1989. Judith Barsi, 9 years old, voices the character Anne-Marie, about 6 years old, a little girl who runs away and befriends a pack of talking dogs. In one scene she climbs into the back seat of a car to go to sleep, and her soles are shown in medium close-up to the camera as she lies down.

* "The Little Mermaid" 1989. Jodi Benson, an adult, voices the character Ariel, 15 years old, in this film about a mermaid who wishes to have legs and explore humankind on dry land. In the original story by Hans Christian Andersen, upon reaching age 15 a mermaid is allowed to go to the surface and observe the land world. Although the character has barely "aged out" of this list, which normally includes children only to age 14, some moviegoers may nonetheless appreciate the scene in which she shows and wiggles a foot, revealing her sole in close-up, when she is first transformed on the beach into a human. She then appears barefoot in following scenes as she adapts to land.

* "Aladdin" 1994. J.D. Daniels, 14 years old, voices the character Rajib, about 12 years old, who runs about causing mischief, all the while completely barefoot, in this half-hour cartoon series based upon the 1992 film. Among many scenes, Rajib falls back on his backside and climbs over a barrel, showing the bottoms of his feet every time in medium close-up views. He also hijacks a huge robot and works the foot pedals inside to make the machine move, showing his feet again from different angles in close-up. This episode, entitled "A Clockwork Hero," first aired on November 2, 1994.

* "Tarzan" 1999. Alex D. Linz, 10 years old, voices the character of young Tarzan, about 8 years old, in this animated retelling of the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic.

* "Pokemon: Hang Ten, Pikachu" 2000. Veronica Taylor, an adult, voices the character Ash Ketchum, about 12 years old, in this compilation of three television episodes which aired consecutively in October 1999. In the middle episode of the three, Ash goes surfing and has a number of barefoot scenes, including close-ups of his soles and various other angles of his feet. When he first runs toward the ocean in his swim trunks and holds his surfboard with his back to the camera, the bottoms of his feet are clearly seen in freeze-frame. One scene contains an error in which Ash is grasping his surfboard while nearly submerged in the ocean, in which Ash has two left feet, a result of duplicating the drawing and placing them side by side. Nonetheless, many filmgoers may find the shot satisfactory, and all other barefoot scenes are correctly drawn. In flashback scenes, the guest character Victor as a child, about 8 years old (the name of the actor voicing the child is uncertain), has close-up scenes of his feet as he runs and lies on his surfboard. Rachael Lillis, an adult, voices Misty, about 12 years old, who has one scene in which she is barefoot in a medium-long shot. This episode, entitled "The Pi-Kahuna," first aired October 2, 1999.

Melody is barefoot in many scenes in medium to medium close-up views before she is transformed into a mermaid herself.

* "Dora the Explorer" 2000. Kathleen Herles, 9 years old, voices the character Dora, 7 years old, in this popular animated television series. In one episode, Dora wishes to go to the beach with her friends on a very hot day, and she proceeds as usual through a maze of obstacles until she reaches her destination. She wears shoes and socks until she arrives, and while she is not shown removing her shoes and socks, she is seen barefoot from a middle distance as she walks about on the sand. The views are of the tops of her feet rather than her soles. This episode, entitled "Beaches," was first broadcast in September 2000. (The exact airdate in September is unknown thus far.) [Special note unrelated to television: Nickelodeon Jr., which presents "Dora the Explorer", has released an oversize coloring book ("A Golden Book: Dora the Explorer...Giant Steps", ISBN 978-0-375-84727-1) which features a large drawing of her in her pajamas on the last page, with her bare feet facing out toward the reader. Her feet are about 3 and 1/2 inches long from heel to large toe tip.]

* "Spirited Away" 2001. Daveigh Chase, 11 years old, voices the character Chihiro/Sen, about 10 years old, in this Japanese film of a little girl who mistakenly enters an alternative world of witches and ghosts. She is told by one of its inhabitants, "You will not need shoes [in this world] or socks," so she removes them to appear barefoot in nearly every remaining scene of the film. Beginning with long distant shots of her feet, later scenes show them in a range from medium to close-up views, as well as several close-ups of her soles, such as when she walks across a water pipe or falls backward from the edge of a large bathtub.

* "Dora the Explorer" 2002. Kathleen Herles, 11 years old, voices the character Dora, 7 years old, in this story about a piece missing from a jigsaw puzzle featuring a wizard. During the episode Swiper the fox steals various items from Dora, including her sock. When the sock is magically returned, she removes her foot from her shoe to reveal her sole and the sock instantly covers it. She then reinserts her foot into the shoe. The view of her sole in medium distance is only for a second and requires freeze-frame and zoom for better viewing. This episode, entitled "The Missing Piece," was first broadcast March 19, 2002.

* "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" 2002. Debi Derryberry, adult actress, voices the character of Jimmy Neutron, 11 years old, in this series about a boy inventor with a genius IQ.

Hero Boy shows the tops and sides of his feet in medium close-up at the beginning of the film when he jumps out of bed, but the scenes are brief. Toward the end of the film, when Hero Boy and Sarah are sitting near the Christmas tree to open presents, the tops of Sarah's feet are shown in medium close-up, and all angles of Hero Boy's feet, including the sole of one foot, are shown in medium close-up as the camera pans from above and around him as he repositions himself. These ending scenes are more lingering and give the filmgoer a better view of his feet than at the beginning of the movie.

* "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" 2005. Carolyn Lawrence, adult actress, voices the character of Cindy Vortex, 11 years old, in this series about a super-intelligent boy inventor. In an episode in which Jimmy and Cindy are stranded on an uncharted island, Jimmy swims in a lagoon while Cindy lounges nearby. After swimming underwater, Jimmy surfaces to talk with Cindy and places his foot on the edge of the lagoon and holds it there in a close-up view. No freeze frame is required. Alternatively, Cindy at no time is barefoot in this episode, whether lying by the lagoon or swimming underwater; she wears her shoes and socks throughout. Jimmy, on the other hand, is barefoot almost from the first moment of being stranded, with views ranging from medium to close-up distance.

* "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" 2006. In an episode in which Jimmy seeks Cindy's help to stop an alien television hostess hypnotizing TV viewers, he literally runs into Cindy at a bus stop where she is barefoot in returning from a karate convention. She falls to the ground from the collision with Jimmy and shows the tops of her bare feet as she does so. Later Jimmy and Cindy are flying to the house where the broadcast takes place, and as they land Cindy falls to the ground with her legs splayed and shows the soles of both her feet for several seconds in medium close-up. Numerous views of her feet in various angles take place throughout this story, all in medium close-up. This episode, entitled "One of Us," was first broadcast on January 24, 2006.

In several separate bedroom scenes the girls appear barefoot from medium distance, with various angles of their feet, including their soles, but the views are quick and require freeze-frame and zoom to be seen well.

* "Tangled" 2010. Delaney Rose Stein, 5 years old, voices the character of young Rapunzel of approximately the same age, and walks about barefoot in early scenes of the movie.

Scenes also include extreme close-ups of her toes and the tops and sides of her feet. (Although the teenager Rapunzel, at 17, is beyond the age range normally shown for this list, she is included here because her feet are so youthfully drawn that they could belong to a much younger girl, perhaps even 13.) Except for a scene lasting only seconds in which the teenage Rapunzel is wearing sandals while sweeping the floor, the character is barefoot throughout the film, from babyhood to early childhood to age 18.

Cherie displays the tops and sides of her feet in medium distance, but not the soles, as she also sits at the pier and dangles her feet. This episode, entitled "Gone Fishin'," was first broadcast October 14, 1984.

* "Punky Brewster" 1984.

* "Punky Brewster" 1985. Soleil Moon Frye, 8 years old, Cherie Johnson, 9 years old, and Ami Foster, 9 years old, all show their bare feet when they are surprised from sleep when Punky's dog Brandon pulls a cord which makes their sleepover tent in the living room collapse.

This episode, entitled "Gals and Dolls," was first broadcast March 3, 1985.

* "Punky Brewster" 1985. Soleil Moon Frye, 9 years old, confesses to Henry that she has cheated on an exam, then climbs into bed and shows the bottom of her left foot in medium close-up as she does so.

This episode, entitled "Cheaters Never Win," was first broadcast September 29, 1985. (Soleil may possibly have been 8 years old when this episode was first taped, since her birthday is August 6, 1976, if the episode was made during earlier summer months in preparation for the new season.)

* "Punky Brester" 1986. Soleil Moon Frye, 9 years old, sits up in bed and talks to foster father Henry about her fear of a murderous stalker in their city. While talking, Soleil has her legs crossed and shows the top of her left foot in medium close-up, with the right foot tucked under her leg and out of sight. When Henry moves to tuck her in, Soleil unfolds her legs and reveals (requiring frame-by-frame pause control) the horizontal top half of her right foot as she places both feet under the covers. This episode, entitled "Urban Fear," was first broadcast January 5, 1986.

She finally climbs up on the wide window sill to sit and look at the stars to contemplate her dream of someday becoming an astronaut. She first stretches her legs out, then brings her knees up, and displays the tops of her feet in medium close-up as she does so. This episode, entitled "Accidents Happen," was first broadcast March 9, 1986.

* "Full House" 1987. Candace Cameron, 11 years old, and Jodie Sweetin, 5 years old, show all angles of their bare feet in medium distance when their on-screen dad comes into their room while the girls are in bed in their pajamas. In the opening of the scene, Jodie awakens to find her dad videotaping her bare feet which are sticking out from under the covers. When she asks, "Daddy, why are you making 'feet movies'?" he replies, "Because I love you, and I love your little feet." In a "point-of-view" shot, the studio camera shows the tops of Jodie's feet in close-up as he tapes with the camcorder. When Candace wakes up and asks what's going on, Jodie says her dad loves her and her little feet, and then smilingly lifts her feet from the bed to show her soles in medium close-up toward the camera. The father then asks Jodie to leave for a moment so he can talk to Candace alone, and Jodie shows her soles briefly as she brings her feet out from under the covers. Dad then goes over to Candace's bed, and her legs are stretched out on top of the bedspread, with the soles of her feet shown in medium close-up directly to the camera. (Candace, Jodie, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen numerous times showed their bare feet during the eight-season run of the sitcom; this episode is selected as one example for its close-ups of Candace and Jodie's feet.) This episode, entitled "Daddy's Home," was first broadcast October 23, 1987.

* "Full House" 1987. Candace Cameron, 11 years old, and Jodie Sweetin, 5 years old, show their soles when they bring their feet out from under the covers of their beds while worrying about "monsters" in the bedroom. Jodie faces Candace at one point with her soles directly to the camera in medium close-up when she decides to join Candace in her sister's bed. Candace reveals her soles in medium close-up at an angle when she removes the covers to allow Jodie to join her, with the camera capturing more angles of Jodie's feet as she moves from one bed to the other. This episode, entitled "Our Very First Promo," was first broadcast on December 18, 1987.

* "Full House" 1988. Candace Cameron, 11 years old, shows her soles in medium close-up as she lies on her bed on her stomach with her feet up behind her, when her on-screen father enters the bedroom to encourage her not to give up guitar lessons. This episode, entitled "But Seriously Folks," was first broadcast on February 5, 1988.

* "Ramona" 1988. Sarah Polley, 8 years old, climbs into bed while wearing her new pajamas and has her slippers removed by her mother. Sarah's soles are fully in view in medium close-up when this occurs, and her bare feet continue to show as she slips her feet beneath the covers. This episode, entitled "New Pajamas," was first broadcast in early 1988, but an exact air date has not yet been determined from online sources. "New Pajamas" was the sixth episode (the first having aired in January 1988) which on a weekly broadcast basis would place it in either January or February 1988. Sarah turned 9 in January 1988, and while it is possible she may have been 9 when the episode was filmed, assuming it was filmed shortly after the series began broadcasting, it is more likely that the sixth episode was wrapped while she was still 8, thus the age designated for this entry. In this episode, she in fact looks even younger than 8.

* "Full House" 1989. Andrea Barber, 12 years old, and Candace Cameron, 12 years old, show their feet in this episode in which Andrea spends the night with the family. In a bedroom scene, Candace and her on-screen sister Jodie Sweetin remove the covers from Andrea's bed and move her to another room because of Andrea's loud snoring. When the covers are removed and Andrea's legs are pulled out from under them, Andrea displays the soles of her feet in medium close-up as well as other angels of her feet. Andrea never wakes up through this, allowing for a lingering shot of her feet. Candace also shows the tops of her feet in the scene and briefly shows her soles as she walks away. This episode, entitled "Fogged In," was first broadcast on January 20, 1989.

* "Gerbert" 1990s. Numerous boys and girls are barefoot in one of the episodes during a special segment called "Things That Go," in which the children's feet are the focus. The camera frequently shows the bottoms of the boys' and girls' feet in close-ups, as well as numerous views of the tops and sides of their feet. This episode, entitled "The Crush," was rotated in broadcast with other episodes during the early 1990s.

* "Full House" 1990. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 4 years old, sharing the role of the character Michelle, show various angles of their feet, including their soles, in an episode in which Michelle starts a pillow fight and breaks a window and gets her sisters in trouble. In various scenes, all in medium views, Michelle gets out of bed and walks around in her pajamas and is picked up by her father; later her father lifts her out of an inflatable swimming pool which she has dragged into the kitchen, while she wears a swimsuit; and later still she is put to bed in her pajamas and extends her legs out on top of the covers, towards the camera, to show the bottoms of her feet. (As noted earlier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, and Mary-Kate and Ashley numerous times showed their bare feet during the eight-season run of the sitcom; this episode is selected as another example for its close-ups of Mary-Kate and Ashley's feet.) This episode, entitled "Crimes and Michelle's Demeanor," was first broadcast September 28, 1990.

* "Full House" 1990. Jodie Sweetin, 8 years old, is barefoot at a slumber party attended by numerous other little girls.

This episode, entitled "Slumber Party," was first broadcast October 12, 1990.

* "Full House" 1991. Candace Cameron, 15 years old, Jodie Sweetin, 9 years old, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 5 years old, are barefoot during the long scene of Michelle's fifth birthday party, set to a "Flintstones" theme with the girls dressed in caveman furs. The views of the tops, sides and soles of their feet are all medium distance and require freeze-frame and zoom functions of the remote to be seen well. This episode, entitled "Happy Birthday, Babies, Part 2," was first broadcast November 12, 1991.

* "Full House" 1992. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 6 years old, sharing the role of Michelle, show bare soles in medium close-up when Michelle is wearing pajamas and lying down on her back in bed with her legs out toward the camera. The scene occurs near the end of the episode, a story in which Michelle and Stephanie stowaway on a plane to New Zealand. Jodie Sweetin, as Stephanie, is barefoot also in the scene but her feet are just out of sight of a full view. This episode, entitled "Come Fly With Me," was first broadcast on September 22, 1992.

* "Party of Five" 1994. Lacey Chabert, 12 years old, stands barefoot in her pajamas in a bucket of ice water on the outside patio to give herself a cold as "penance" for believing she has given a cold to her boyfriend. Her oldest brother Charlie, thinking this is silly, picks Lacey up and throws her over his shoulder to carry her back into the house, revealing Lacey's wet bare feet in medium close-up as she is carried. This episode, entitled "It's Not Easy Being Green," was first broadcast January 11, 1995.

* "Full House" 1995. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 8 years old, who both play the character Michelle, show the bottoms of their feet when Michelle worries that her feet are too big after being teased by her two older sisters. Michelle has several barefoot scenes, and she displays her soles in close-up while lying in bed in her pajamas. (Again, as noted earlier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, and Mary-Kate and Ashley numerous times showed their bare feet during the eight-season run of the sitcom; this episode is selected as another example for its close-ups of Mary-Kate and Ashley's feet.) This episode, entitled "My Left and Right Foot," was first broadcast January 31, 1995.

* "7th Heaven" 1999. MacKenzie Rosman, 9 years old, is lying barefoot on a bed with her on-screen brother, David Gallagher, 14 years old, and the camera shows the bottoms of MacKenzie's feet in medium close-up for several seconds. David is also barefoot but the view is obscured. In this long-running series, MacKenzie and David appeared barefoot frequently, most often in the bedroom scenes, and the episode noted here is representative of the many times they showed their feet. This episode, entitled "The Tattle Tale Heart," was first broadcast September 20, 1999.

* "Malcolm in the Middle" 2000. Erik Per Sullivan, 8 years old, lies barefoot on his bed, but his feet are the only part of him which appears in this scene. Frankie Muniz, 14 years old (but appears to be about 12, his character's age), who plays Malcolm, is describing in a voice-over about the various members of his family, and when the camera cuts to a close-up of Eric's soles, Frankie says, "This is my little brother Dewey's ice-cold feet." The scene lasts perhaps three seconds, long enough to record and view again. Frankie's feet also appear in the opening credits of the show as he rests his feet on a coffee table in front of the television with his soles showing to the camera in medium close-up. This first episode of the first season, entitled only "Pilot," was first broadcast January 9, 2000.

* "George Lopez" 2002. Luis Armand Garcia, 12 years old, appears barefoot in the opening credits as he bounces apparently on a trampoline. When his upper body rises farthest from the camera, he extends his legs to show his feet in close-up to the lens, including his soles. The action is in slow-motion, so a freeze-frame reveals an even clearer view of the bottoms of his feet. (Note: The current opening credit sequence may be the original one; the writer of this list is unsure. If the opening is the latest for this series, then Luis is shown at 12; if the opening was shot when the series was first broadcast in 2002 and is still being used, then Luis would have been 10 years old at that time.)

* "My Wife and Kids" 2002. Parker McKenna Posey, 6 years old, plays the game "Twister" while she is barefoot. In medium close-up, the tops and sides of her feet are shown, but her soles are never revealed. This episode, entitled "Back Story," was first broadcast April 3, 2002.

* "According to Jim" 2003. Taylor Atelian, 8 years old, and Billi Bruno, 6 years old, frequently appear barefoot in this sitcom which first aired in 2001 when Taylor and Billi were 6 and 4, respectively. In many episodes they are seen wearing pajamas and showing their bare feet, including their soles. Although many examples can be cited, the one chosen here for description is an episode which depicted the girls feeling spooked at home after seeing a violent sci-fi film featuring a female robot. In one scene they run barefoot in their pajamas into their parents' bed and briefly show the bottoms of their feet as well as regular views of the tops and sides of their feet in medium close-up distances. This episode, entitled "Scary Movie," was first broadcast November 4, 2003.

* "This is Daniel Cook" 2004. Daniel Cook, 7 years old, attends a gymnastics class and removes his shoes and socks to participate in the activities in this reality/documentary series. The camera shows the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up as he first sits on the mat, then shows the tops of his feet in close-up as he walks along a balance beam. Later he shows his soles in medium close-up as he swings to and fro on the rings in an attempt to pull himself up on them. This episode, entitled "This is Daniel Cook at Gymnastics," was first broadcast in 2004. (The exact month and day is unknown.)

* "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" 2005. Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse, 12 years old and identical twins, show the bottoms of their bare feet in medium close-up while lounging poolside at the hotel where they live, in this Disney Channel series. In bathing trunks, they lie on recliners by the pool with their legs outstretched towards the camera, which pans slowly from viewer's left to right, as Cole -- feet lying slightly apart on the recliner -- wiggles his toes, while Dylan has one foot crossed and resting on the other. (The twins are distinguishable because Cole is slightly more slender in body and face and is slightly shorter than Dylan.) There are other barefoot boys as well in the recliner scene while the camera pans. Additionally, all the boys, including Dylan and Cole, show their feet again when they get into the pool. In various episodes of this series the twins appear barefoot, but this particular show is representative and shows the best views of their feet, especially their soles. The pan shot also appears in abbreviated form in the opening credits of every first-season show. This episode, entitled "Hotel Hangout," was first shown on the Disney channel on March 18, 2005.

* "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" 2006. Cole Sprouse, 14 years old, is ill with the flu and shows the bottoms of his feet in medium close-up when the fold-out couch he is lying in suddenly folds backward to reveal his feet when the mattress stops in an upward position. Prior to the folding action his feet were out of view. This episode, entitled "Nurse Zack," was first shown on the Disney Channel on December 8, 2006.

* "This is Emily Yeung" 2006. Emily Yeung, about 6 years old, learns about African dance and appears barefoot while performing, in this reality/documentary series which followed "This is Daniel Cook." At one point she sits on the floor with her legs out and shows the bottoms of her feet to the camera in medium close-up. Other scenes show her feet in medium distance. This episode, entitled "This is Emily Yeung Learning an African Dance," was first broadcast on September 14, 2006. (Emily was born in 2000, but at the time of this edition an exact month and day of her birthdate is unknown. She may have been 5 when this episode was shot.)

* "iCarly" 2007. Miranda Cosgrove, 14 years old, and Jennette McCurdy, 15 years old, show the soles of their feet in extreme close-up during the opening credits sequence of this series. While lying down they hold their feet up to the camera lens and wiggle their toes as they record themselves. (Jennette at 15 is perhaps thought by some to be too old for this list, which describes the feet of "children", but she is included here because she appears alongside Miranda in the same barefoot shot.)

* "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" 2008. Cole Sprouse, 15 years old, takes karate lessons and works out barefoot in the living room of his suite. He shows both feet in medium close-up as he strikes a pillow with his left foot, partially showing his sole as he twists his foot. This episode, entitled "Romancing the Phone," was first shown on the Disney Channel on April 19, 2008. (Some would say that at 15 years old Cole Sprouse has "aged out" of this list, which normally does not include anyone over 14, but he appears far younger than his age in this episode and is included here because his feet look like those of a 13-year-old.)

* "The New Adventures of Old Christine" 2008. Trevor Gagnon, 12 years old, displays his feet in medium close-up during a karate class near the end of the episode. All angles of his feet are shown, including his soles when he performs kicks, but because of the quickness of the motions, views require freeze-frame. This episode, entitled "Self-Esteem Tempura," was first broadcast on November 12, 2008. (Trevor was possibly 13 when the scene was filmed, since he was born in September 1995, but typically series episodes are filmed months in advance.)

* "Wizards of Waverly Place" 2011. Bailee Madison, 11 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium distance when she falls to the mat during a karate class. The view of her soles lasts about 30 seconds. At the beginning of the karate scene she walks about on the mat barefoot and displays the sides of her feet in medium distance, although the views are somewhat difficult because the long leg length of her karate uniform nearly covers them. There are moments during the scene when her feet are shown in medium close-up, but the views are quick and often blurry. This episode, entitled "Daddy's Little Girl," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel on January 21, 2011.

* "Good Luck Charlie" 2011. Mia Talerico, 2 years old, is carried into camera view by the on-screen father of her character Charlie while she is barefoot. Her shoes had been removed because she had just ruined a new pair of expensive shoes belonging to her on-screen mother. The medium close-up view of Mia's feet, which shows her soles at an angle, lasts about 10 seconds. This episode, entitled "Baby's New Shoes," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel June 12, 2011.

* "Modern Family" 2011. Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, 4 years old, shows off an ankle bracelet on one foot in medium close-up while she is barefoot, and shortly thereafter shows both feet in medium close-up while she is squatting on her feet in a chair, although her soles are not shown. In a separate scene, Nolan Gould, 12 years old, throws the covers off his bed and quickly raises his left sole in medium close-up to the camera, but the moment is quick and requires freeze-frame to view well. This episode, entitled "When Good Kids Go Bad," was first broadcast on September 21, 2011.

* "Dog with a Blog" 2013. G. Hannelius, 14 years old, takes off her left shoe and sock to show the top of her foot in close-up as she attempts to draw her dog out from under the bed. Later in the show she displays the bottoms of both her bare feet in medium close-up when she contorts herself in a yoga position. This episode, entitled "Stan Stops Talking," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel February 17, 2013. (Note: Because G.'s birthdate is December 22, 1998, it is possible she may have been 13 years old in these scenes, depending on when the episode was recorded.)

* "Dog with a Blog" 2013. G. Hannelius, 14 years old, lies down on the back of her pet dog and shows her feet at a side angle in medium close-up. This episode, entitled "Stan's Old Owner," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel on August 25, 2013.

* "Jessie" 2013. Skai Jackson, 11 years old, awakens in her pajamas from a nightmare and runs screaming barefoot into the hallway, where she displays the tops and sides of her feet in medium distance. She briefly shows a left sole as she re-enters her bedroom, but the view is brief and incomplete. This episode, entitled "All the Knight Moves," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel on May 3, 2013. (Note: Although Skai was 11 when this was first aired, she may have been younger in the actual scene. She was born in April 2002, so she may have been 10 when this episode was shot, since episodes are often produced months in advance of the air date.)

* "Jessie" 2013. Skai Jackson, 11 years old, shows the bottoms of her feet in medium close-up when she falls out of the top bunk of a double-decker bed and lands on top of her on-screen brother. This episode, entitled "GI Jessie," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel on September 13, 2013.

* "Believe" 2014. Johnny Sequoyah, 11 years old, lies on her back barefoot on a hospital MRI gurney in an early scene of this series about a little girl with powers of telekinesis and clairvoyance. The view shows the sides of her feet and her soles at an angle. They are in medium distance and require the use of the "zoom" function of a remote for closer viewing.

* "Girl Meets World" 2014. Rowan Blanchard, 12 years old, goes to a sleepover at a friend's apartment. There she removes her knee-length socks to reveal her feet several times in medium close-up as she climbs in and out of bed with her friend. In one climb-in, Rowan shows her right sole at an angle, but the view of her sole, as with other views, is extremely brief and requires freeze-frame. This episode, entitled "World of Terror," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel on October 2, 2014.

* "Girl Meets World" 2015. Rowan Blanchard, 13 years old, leaves her bed to go to school without putting on shoes. She exits by her bedroom window and shows the soles of both feet as she climbs onto the seat board (the flat board) of the bay window. The view is in medium distance. She continues to show her feet after she arrives at school and enters the classroom, showing in medium close-up the various sides of her feet other than her soles. (Note: Sabrina Carpenter was also barefoot in all of the same scenes, but since she is 15 she has "aged out" of any stand-alone mentions for this list.) This episode, entitled "Girl Meets Gravity," was first broadcast on the Disney Channel on May 11, 2015.

* "Jessie" 2015. Skai Jackson, 12 years old, trains barefoot for a karate competition and shows the tops and sides of her feet in medium to medium close-up as she practices.
