Any new family movies out?

[mcppalmbeach]

I’m looking for a 5 year old in particular, but I’ll take any suggestions!
My kindergartener has to miss family movie night at school because I’ll be running around for ds1 and ds2’s social commitments. Suggestions for movies I can watch with him to make it up to him?

In the theater or available on streaming? I heard great things about "Puss In Boots: The Last Wish" but haven't gotten around to it yet.

This is my recommendation too! Super cute

Streaming! I want to see Lyle Lyle Crocodile, but my mom has already “called” that to watch with ds.

We saw Puss in Boots last weekend and were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it. We went in with low expectations.

Same! It was pretty cute.

what movie are they playing in school? can you watch the same one?

“Luck” on Apple was way better than expected. Pretty cute.

If you have not yet watched Paddington 2 you should.

My kids really like Rumble, it came out a few years ago but we never heard of it...I think it popped up recently on one of our streaming subscriptions

Does it have to be new? Has he already seen all the classics? Cars, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, etc?

The Amazing Maurice? I don't remember specifically if it's good for 5, but I flagged it as an option for my kid
(ETA: that is in theaters)

We LOVE the new Matilda.

They’re not new new, but we enjoyed DC League of Super Pets and Sing 2.

Way more for older tweens or teens in terms of family but We Have a Ghost is adorable. Sort of like Casper meets Splash. There is a somewhat gory part that might scare younger kids and a police chase and a bad guy scene at the end-ish but it's really very sweet overall.

Thank you, I was wondering if this would be good for my kids, sounds like it is. My kids love Hopper.

The Sea Beast on Netflix was good too. My sil recommended it and my kids liked it.

Bumping this because we took our 5.5 year olds to see puss in boots and both had to leave because the wolf was too scary. They aren’t typically scared at movies, so sharing if it helps anyone decide!
