The Best Kids Movies Streaming on Netflix. Share. Available to watch instantly on Netflix. By William Bibbiani Whether you’ve got kids to entertain or you’re just looking to nurture your own inner child, there comes a time in everyone’s life when you just want to watch a good kids movie.

Fortunately for you there are streaming services like Netflix, which offer lots of entertainment at the push of a button. But sometimes it can be hard sifting through all the hastily produced rip- offs trying to find an established classic or hidden gem worth watching. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered with our list of the best kids movies streaming on Netflix! An American Tail.

Don Bluth jumped ship from Disney and, for a while, created some of the most magical animated movies ever produced. An American Tail is one of the animator’s early, most impressive productions, an Oscar- nominated story about a Russian immigrant who gets separated from his family, and discovers that America isn’t as idyllic as his father claimed. And of course, he’s a mouse. An American Tail boasts beautiful animation and a classic story that’s equal parts hopeful and heartbreaking. Coraline. The first stop- motion animated fantasy from LAIKA is still, arguably, their best.

This adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s beloved novella tells the story of a little girl who feels like her parents are ignoring her, and wanders into an alternate world in which she’s the center of attention. But of course there’s a downside to obsessive parenting, and what seems at first like a beautiful dream becomes a horrifying nightmare. E. T. The Extra- Terrestrial.

Steven Spielberg’s sci- fi fantasy is just as remarkable today as it was 3. E. T. isn’t just about kids — it’s told specifically from their perspective. Low camera angles mirror the physical viewpoint of children, and the story almost exclusively highlights their experiences befriending a lost alien, rather than being mired in the machinations of adults.

It’s an overwhelming and exciting motion picture unlike anything that had ever come before it, and even though many movies have tried to recapture E. T.’s success, it still feels remarkable and unique. Ernest & Celestine.

My last three films from Fantasia Festival 2017, zombies, home invaders, and a sci-fi "Groundhog Day" riff. Cast, orchestral, and composer credits, professional and amateur critiques, awards and nominations, summaries, key word search, related material, and message board.

It might seem unusual for a bear and a mouse to live together, but in Ernest & Celestine it’s actually illegal. This beautifully watercolored French animated film, based on a series of popular children’s books by Gabrielle Vincent, illustrates the struggles of two outsiders who make a home together and are forced to justify their friendship to not one, but two communities which are built on xenophobia. Watch What Richard Did Online Hoyts here. The message is potent, but imaginatively presented, with a playful animation style and two absolutely adorable protagonists kids (and adults) will love.

Fantasia. Walt Disney’s most experimental movie has no plot to speak of. It’s a collection of classical music performances, brought to life through animation, in funny and frightening narratives, and sometimes wholly abstract imagery.

Aspects of Fantasia have entered the pantheon of iconic cinematic imagery, like Mickey Mouse enchanting brooms as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, to the horrifying Chernobog commanding a demonic bacchanalia over the course of A Night on Bald Mountain. These images, set to this particular music, are some of the cornerstones of the cinematic art form, and are just as potent now as they were 7. Finding Dory. The follow- up to Pixar’s classic Finding Nemo had a tricky job to do, telling a familiar story with the exact same characters, in a completely different way. And although Finding Dory does play a lot like Finding Nemo on the surface — sending a few small fish across the great wide ocean to reunite with their families and befriend an ensemble cast of aquatic misfits — the message of Andrew Stanton’s sequel is distinctive and empowering. The majority of the new characters in Finding Dory are somehow disabled, from the protagonist’s missing memory to Hank the squid’s missing tentacle, and they achieve great things together, forming lovely new friendships and tackling seemingly impossible — but altogether thrilling — tasks.

Goosebumps. R. L. Stine’s beloved, kinda scary children’s books come to life — all at the same time — in Goosebumps, a surprisingly sharp and funny contemporary kids movie that plays a lot like the classic spooky family flicks of the 1. Jack Black plays R. L. Stine, an author who keeps his horrifying creations locked up inside his manuscripts. When they all escape at the same time, he has to team up with a gaggle of teenagers to rescue the city and book the nightmares back where they belong, in the realm of fiction. Imaginative visual effects and a rollicking, playful tone make Goosebumps an underrated treat.

Hugo. Martin Scorsese’s most family- friendly film stars Asa Butterfield as the child of an inventor who lives inside the walls of a train station. But what starts out as a Dickensian tale of urban fantasy gradually evolves into a mystery that might unlock the history of cinema itself. Hugo is a strangely grand story that teaches children about the beauty of film history, and might set them down a path to watch classic silent cinema and eventually become avid cinephiles of the highest order. It’s a “must watch" for movie lovers and their children.

The Iron Giant. It was hard enough keeping a child- sized alien a secret in E. T., but in Brad Bird’s incredible animated classic The Iron Giant, our heroes have to keep a humongous robot away from prying eyes. The Iron Giant takes place in the 1. Brad Bird’s adaptation of Ted Hughes’ novel highlights that inherent contradiction: you can’t build a better tomorrow if you’re terrified of today. The Iron Giant was almost summarily ignored in its time, but the years have been kind: it’s now considered one of the great children’s movies, and with good cause. The Jungle Book. Jon Favreau’s “live- action” remake of Disney’s The Jungle Book is barely live- action at all. The human protagonist, Neel Sethi, is one of the few live- action things about it, with all of the realistic environments and animal characters generated via CGI.

It’s an impressive accomplishment, but it would all be for naught if the film wasn’t also telling a fantastic story, and to Jon Favreau’s credit the film plays — arguably — even better than the cel- animated original. The incredibly loose plotting of Disney’s first The Jungle Book, which was also adapted (of course) from Rudyard Kipling’s classic stories, has given way to a similar storyline with more drive, and a much more dramatically satisfying conclusion.

Kubo and the Two Strings. LAIKA’s latest fantasy is something most audiences had never seen before: a stop- motion animated action movie. Kubo and the Two Strings is the story of a boy whose mother is on the run from her terrifying father, who wants to corrupt Kubo for his own purposes. Kubo is forced to flee himself, and teams up with a stern monkey and an affable bug warrior to collect enchanted artifacts and heal wounds that have injured his family for many years. Some of the imagery in Kubo and the Two Strings is so astounding it must be seen to be believed, and the film’s emotionally overwhelming storyline — and its unusual conclusion — are equally incredible.

Lilo & Stitch. One of Disney’s most underappreciated animated films is Lilo & Stitch, a mischievous motion picture about a young Hawaiian girl whose dog happens to be an alien monster who likes destroying things.
