THE BEST FAMILY MOVIES ACCORDING TO MY KIDS (+ INSTAGRAM)

We love a good movie night but it can be hard to find flicks that the whole fam bam agrees on. So last week I shared our faves on Instagram in hopes you guys would do the same in the comments and OMG there were some good ones! Figured I should compile and share the full family movie edit here so it’s easy to find a reference.

Here’s a list of THE BEST FAMILY FRIENDLY MOVIES according to my kids and the gram…

• BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA
• THE PARENT TRAP
• MARY POPPINS RETURNS
• ENCHANTED
• ALEXANDER + THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY
• FREAKY FRIDAY

• THE WAY, WAY BACK (this is actually on my list to watch while folding laundry and then with the older kids if appropriate!)
• SING
• WONDER
• SPIDERVERSE

What a list! Hopefully it makes choosing a family movie a little easier.

Just a heads up, there are some PG-13’s sprinkled in there… and if you’re in need of a resource, I like to check common sense media before turning a movie on for the kids that I haven’t seen or heard about from a friend.

Do you have any movies to add!? Share in the comments and I’ll add them to the post!
