11 movie picks to stream with your kids
Let the family movie marathon commence!
To watch with kids aged 10 and under
Home (2015, PG)
Little girl Tip gets separated from her mom at the exact time that purple alien Oh is chased off his planet for the bad luck that follows him like a shadow. The two make an unlikely team but that’s the cuteness of the movie: everyone is special, no matter how you look, how tall you are or what colour your skin is as Oh tries to get his new bestie back to her mom.
Voices of Rihanna (Tip), Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory (Oh).
Kung Fu Panda 1 (2008) and Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
Po the panda is chop-socking his way onto the small screen in a trilogy of adventures. Plus he’s got his animal friends who’re helping him learn life lessons as he goes along. In Kung Fu Panda 1 (2008), Po learns kung fu to protect his country. Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) sees “the dragon warrior” Po saving his village.
Voices of Jack Black, Angelina Jolie.

To watch with kids aged 10 to 12
Rango (2011, PG12)
A regular home chameleon gets lost in the Wild West and takes up the role of sheriff. The only problem is that he’s a nervous wreck at the best of times, he’s timid and he’s got zero life skills. He’s been watered and taken care of all his life, so facing off with a hawk and a rattlesnake is not his idea of fun!
Voices of Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher.
