Family movies
Interesting for adults and children alike — with no awkward scenes.
A family film is not the same as a children’s film: it has to hold an adult’s attention and never put a parent in an awkward spot. Adventures, fairy tales and warm stories about families, each with a second layer for the older viewers in the room.

Frequently asked
- How do you pick a film for the whole family?
- Look for two things: an adventure (that holds the younger ones) and an adult theme (that holds the older ones). Films that manage both come first in this list.
- Is this all animation?
- No. There is animation here, but also live-action adventures, fairy tales and family dramas. The site does not carry age ratings — check the film’s certificate before watching with small children.
