Are there new good kid movies to rent?

[ohgillian]

My kids are 8 and 10 and want to have movie night. I'm willing to pay to rent a movie, either the regular $5 Amazon rental or even the theater rental price. Is there anything new/good out?  I googled a bit but I'm always behind the times and haven't heard of most things. They did see War With Grandpa recently.

Thank you!

My kids were asking to watch the new Croods movie recently, I think it came out around Thanksgiving.

Not new at all. But Big is on Disney + and it was a big hit with my kids (7 and 10) last weekend. Although it does have some problematic 80s themes if you're squeamish about that stuff. Lots of smoking, some cursing, etc.

Isle of Dogs is on Disney + as well. I'm hoping I can get DS to pick that tonight for movie night.

The big one out now is “Croods 2”–$20 on Amazon. Or “Soul” is free on Disney Plus.

My kids loved Croods 2. It is totally a junk food movie but they thought it was hilarious. Soul was OK based on their reactions.

DS1 (9) and I watched War with Grandpa last weekend (on Prime, I think it was $6 to rent). We both liked it! DS is planning pranks for next time he sees his grandpa! LOL

ETA: Just fully read the OP. Haha. I see you have that one covered already!

My kids are also 8 and 10. They did like Soul. Croods is on our list as well. We also want to see the Great Mouse Detective and I want to introduce them to Nancy Drew movies, but those are not new

[ohgillian]

Thanks so much, all! I think they liked the first Croods so I'll suggest that one for tonight. I haven't heard of Soul but will look that one up, too.

I've never seen Big and almost watched it last weekend. I want to see it! Or, it's possible I saw it when it came out and I don't remember b/c that was (gulp) 32 years ago.

My 8 year old liked We Can Be Heroes on Netflix. I half watched it to be honest but it looked entertaining.

Godmothered on Disney Plus is a good one.

I refuse to rent new movies on top of streaming lol. My kids liked safety on Disney plus a lot (9/11 boys). My friend’s similarly aged girls enjoyed it too.

My kids are watching this right now for at least the 4th time. It's not bad.

(They are 7 and 10)

Even DH loved this one!

[dochas]

Did you see Witches? We really liked it.

Not a movie but my 9 year old loved Wandavision. There are two episodes out---so about an hour long combined.

My ds (9) loved the we can be heroes movie.

What about some oldies like The Goonies, Karate Kid, Mighty Ducks?
