Stream this Weekend: 4 Movies to Watch With Your Kids

It’s Thanksgiving, which means (hopefully) a lot of family time. And if your family is like many American households, gathering around the TV and celebrating with a classic heartwarming movie tale is a pretty likely scenario this holiday. But what if you’re burned out on watching Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the 30th time? What are some other movies that will be fun for the whole family? SuperFan Movies is here to help.

Recent Release: Inside Out (2015)

It’s got killer ratings, and it was a huge hit upon its release in June. There’s a good chance your family has seen it, but if not, now’s the time.

Timeless Classic: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

It’s probably been too long since you’ve returned to this cherished tale, and if there are any kids in your family who haven’t been introduced to the adventure of Elliot and his wrinkly alien pal, Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity.

You Might Have Missed: Paddington (2014)

Some were skeptical that a CGI-infused live action version of the simple, charming storybooks could ever work, but Paddington has quickly gained a cult following of loyalists who see this bright-faced movie for what it is.

Obscure but Brilliant: The Secret of Kells (2009)

If your family is feeling a little adventurous, this cel-animated French-Belgian-Irish co-production is the art-house equivalent of more typical animated fare. Some have even compared it to the fanciful, magical work of Hayao Miyazaki.
