Finding age-appropriate family-friendly movies is hard nowadays. You never know when a character might say something inappropriate or a scene might make you question whether or not your child should be watching that movie. I’ve spent a lot of time watching different shows with my kids to ensure they’re appropriate and won’t lead my kids to questions they shouldn’t ask at their age.
More people than ever are questioning the how to pick movies for little kids. It’s important to know that my kids are all under the age of eight years old, so while some movies I think are age appropriate for ten years old and up, my kids are still little.
For example, I love the Harry Potter movies, but I want my son to be a bit older before we watch them together because they are a bit scary at times. However, my kids love Jurassic Park movies; they don’t find them scary.
These movies have no sexual scenes either, which is a big deal when I pick non-cartoon movies.
We also love National Geographic documentaries. For example, my son has enjoyed watching different movies about the Sahara Desert and amazing that live in these regions. I’m happy to put on these educational movies for my kids to learn.
So, I put together a list of some of my kids’ favorite family-friendly movies they love to watch together. Many of these are available on Disney+ right now!
