Family movie night is such a fun and special tradition.
We asked moms to share their family’s favorite flicks on our FB page; from classic cartoons to modern live action there’s something for everyone.
Here is the list that is family-approved movie night watching!
Please note that some of these selections are not intended for the very youngest family members, common sense media is a great resource for checking if a movie is age appropriate.

Update: Back in 2015 we partnered with our sponsor Verizon FiOS to bring you this list of the very best films that the whole family will enjoy. While things have changed over the years since this best family movie list was first published, I noticed that some of the changes at Verizon have been really good for family movie watching including the DisneyBundle which includes Disney+ and Discovery+ included for the first year. Check out the fun at the Verizon website. A big thanks to Verizon FiOS for supporting Kids Activities Blog.
