The 100 Greatest Kids Movies Of All Time, Ranked

Sedona’s Enchantment Resort Is An Adventure Playground For Families [Fatherly](%2F%2Ffatherly.com%2F%3Futm_campaign=35954%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/01000182e5fc7a13-468e2ad1-915c-4717-82f5-05082d69e819-000000/ObxlGVeoZKXgCKJGGd8hWzsuNRE=284) Aug 28, 2022 Finding great movies for kids isn’t easy. It’s not that there aren’t plenty of kid’s films — just the opposite. Right now, parents are swimming in them. In fact, quantity is part of the problem. But finding, or remembering, the true quality is what makes finding great kid's movies more difficult. The haystack is growing, and the needles are better hidden in it. So, with the help of film critic dads, we sought out to curate a list of 100 kid’s movies we think every child should see before they turn 10. There were rules, of course: Each film had to be well-received enough to have mostly favorable reviews on respected publications like Common Sense Media or Rotten Tomatoes. These had to be films that families could find — and stream — easily. And finally, the movies had to exhibit a timeless quality, whether they were made in 1955 or 2022. Chances are you’ll find some of the rankings or choices controversial. But we hope it serves as a go-to source for finding something great to watch on family movie night.
