Disney/Pixar
It goes without saying, Disney movies are a hit with most. However, some can be kind of boring. Snow White anyone? Pixar movies in particular are always a hit with all ages in my home. Here are some that are especially enjoyable for all.
Toy Story (1, 2, and 3)
Monsters, Inc.
Monsters University
The Incredibles 1&2
Coco
Moana
Wreck it Ralph
Up
Superhero
Who doesn’t love a great superhero movie? The only thing with these movies is they are PG and up, so if you have younger ones, you’ll have to be at the ready with the remote if you don’t want them to see or hear something inappropriate or “scary.” If you have a particularly sensitive kid, I would recommend that you look up the movie description for each before watching.
Guardians of the Galaxy (1&2)
Wonder Woman
Black Panther
*Thor Ragnarok
Spiderman Homecoming
Other movies
Some of these movies are oldies but goodies. Just like with the superhero movies, there are a couple of parts that you might want to be ready to fast forward the dialogue. I’ll place an asterisk next to the ones that I think you might want to be on the lookout for.
*The Goonies
Pippi Longstocking Series
Beethoven 1 and *2
The Chipmunks (Series)
The Lego Movie
The Princess Bride
*Overboard
*Back to the Future (series)
Problem Child (1&2)
Shrek (1 and 2)
Captain Underpants
Beverly Hills Chihuahua
Peter Rabbit
Fred (watch at your own risk, the voice is annoying but I find it hilarious) 1, 2, and 3
*Troop Beverly Hills
Mr. Mom
*Ghostbusters (The new one!)
*Indiana Jones series
Trolls
Boss Baby
Sing
*Grease (The first one of course!)
Book of Life
Despicable Me (1, 2, and 3)
Jumanji
I have high hopes that you will find movies here that all in the house can enjoy together. I had everyone in the house weigh in on these picks. Break out the popcorn, sit back, and relax! Snuggles are mandatory.
