Has anyone come across any good movies (appropriate for a 9 yr old) about Columbus, Vespucci, Ponce de Leon, Balboa, Cortes, etc?

So, it looks like you are looking specifically for explorers of the "new world" - is that right? Not other explorers around the world and different time periods?

Classic 1940's film - Christopher Columbus

NEST has one on Christopher Columbus, but I hesitate to recommend it. It's one of my least favorite of the ones they make. It isn't really anti-Catholic, but I find parts of it questionable because the worldview is Protestant. If you preview and are ready to address parts of it, it would be okay.

Laura Schlessinger media puts one out. I remember Cortez being in it. It was a little dry but my kids did watch it. I can't remember the title it happened to be one I got from the library on a whim.
