    Trolls Band Together (2023)

    The third installment of the family-favorite Trolls franchise has Poppy discovering a surprising secret about Branch's past: he was once part of a superstar boyband!

    Wonka (2023)

    Kelly R:  Creative and fun to watch, with plenty of musical numbers that had us listening to the soundtrack right after we saw the movie. And the least creepy Willy Wonka yet!

    Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023)

    More than 20 years after breaking records as the highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all time, Netflix presents a follow up to the popular Chicken Run. In this sequel, the original cast is joined by the next generation in standing up to the latest threat to chicken-kind.

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

    Kelly R:  My kids and I loved the second installment of the Spider-Verse saga, and enjoyed it just as much as the first one! Be aware that this will be a trilogy, so you'll have to wait a bit longer for the story to be wrapped up.

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    Kelly R:  I took a group of tweens & teens to see this, and everyone enjoyed it. A fun update on the classic, but we were all disappointed that there was no "Les Poissons!"

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

    Harrison Ford is back as everyone's favorite adventuring archeologist, in the fifth installment of this classic family movie series, with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as executive producers and John Williams composing the score, as he has for all the Indy movies.

    World's Best (2023)

    A tween math whiz learns that his late father was a famous rapper and sets out to see if he has a knack for it, too. A charming and poignant new family movie to stream with your kids on Disney+.

    Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (2024)

    After getting kicked out of the forest, Woody thinks he's found a forever home at Camp Woo Hoo — until an inspector threatens to shut down the camp.

    Orion and the Dark (2024)

    Mommyx3 (Monique H):  We watched this movie for one of our family movie nights and absolutely loved it! This movie is about a little boy who is terrified of the dark and with the help of some "special friends" he finds a way to face his fears and overcome them as well. Its such a special movie I feel all children should witness :)

    Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024)

    Harold goes on an adventure with the help of his purple crayon in the 2024 family movie based on the children's book.

    The Fall Guy (2024)

    Kelly R:  We haven't watched a lot of action movies as a family, but this one was just right for movie night with my tween and teen. The stunts are cool, there's plenty of humor, and there's not a lot of objectionable content aside from language.

    Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie (2024)

    When Bikini Bottom and all its denizens are suddenly scooped out of the ocean, Sandy Cheeks and SpongeBob SquarePants journey to Texas to save the town from a villainous plot.

    Mean Girls (2024)

    Kelly R:  A big hit with my 13-year-old and his friends, though I do think he was the only boy in the theater when we saw it! I'm glad I didn't bring my 10-year-old, because of the content, and because all of the high school drama seems beyond her right now.
