Movies for a family with ALL age ranges?
Studio Ghibli makes a lot of great family movies, and their english dubs are generally well regarded. Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a personal favorite, though Kiki's Delivery Service or Howl's Moving Castle may be better crowdpleasers really almost any big Disney & Pixar film is usually pretty good. Some personal favorites are Lilo & Stitch, WALL-E & Encanto miscellaneous: Mitchells vs the Machines Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Paddington 1 & 2 (these movies are a lot better than you'd expect) The Lego Movie Megamind The Pirates! Band of Misfits / In An Adventure with Scientists (title depends on your region) More on reddit.com

Looking for some good new and classic family movies to watch with my 6 year old.
If he liked Bumblebee then give Pacific Rim (2013) a try. It's Ok PG-13 but there is nothing much in it. Also maybe Iron Giant (1999) More on reddit.com

The 20 Best Movies on Netflix for Kids (And Their Parents)
5 days ago - One of 2022’s most surprising hits for Netflix has been this film from one of the creators of Bolt and Big Hero 6. It’s a blend of a lot of things that have been done before with echoes of How to Train Your Dragon, Moana, and Pirates of the Caribbean (with a little Kaiju too) but this is a detailed adventure film that really plays to everyone in the family. ... Shaun the Sheep is an international treasure. The silent comedy star leads one of the most consistently hilarious franchises of all time in his own TV episodes and feature films. This one is a brilliant Netflix original from Aardman Animations about how everyone’s favorite ovine helps a stranded alien return to his own kind. ... It’s been 21 years since a proper Wallace & Gromit movie but it turns out that the cheese-loving inventor and his trusty sidekick are as funny and clever as ever.

Best Family Movies To Delight The Kids And The Grown-Ups
August 13, 2025 - Don’t let your adult feelings toward AI turn you off this impossibly heartwarming story of a lost robot and the makeshift family it builds for itself in the dense Pacific Northwest forest. Washing ashore after a shipwreck, a service droid finds purpose caring for the local wildlife, particularly an orphaned gosling. Smart and stunningly animated, it doesn’t shy away from big questions about the meaning of motherhood. Parents, make sure to have tissues handy. Rated PG ... One of our favorite feel-good films of all time, the action-packed tale of Princess Buttercup and Farm Boy/Dread Pirate Roberts/Westley (as read to young Fred Savage by his grandfather) steals our hearts with great one-liners, suspense and even some romance.

October 2, 2023 -

Hi I am an eldest child of a pretty big family we have elementary kids, tweens, teenagers and young adults to adults. Everytime it happens to be a family movie night I am in charge of finding something but it’s hard as we have the whole spectrum of ages and I just don’t know what would be appropriate and easy enough to follow that a 6 year old can get it but mature enough so that a 17 year old and above won’t get bored of it and think it’s cringey or something. Do you guys have any suggestions?
