Looking fir films to watch with kids

[paintmywholehousecobweb]

What are your recommendations for films which both adults & kids, ages from 8-12 would like???

The new Jumanji films are actually pretty good. Plenty of humour aimed at adults as well as kids

We really enjoyed spies in disguise

We watched the babysitters guide to monster hunting this morning and now watching Nanny McPhee

The newer goosebumps films are ok as well

Bridge to Terrabithia is a great film - it's a bit older now, can't remember the release date but it's been a firm favourite for years.

SPOILER ALERT

It has a bit of a sad ending... not ideal if you/the children are sensitive.

Thanks

Please keep them coming 🙌

There must be more films out there....

The Spy Next Door, Free Willy, A Dogs Journey/Way Home, Marley and Me, early Harry Potter films, Nims Island

“Goodnight Mr Tom” is a heart warming (if harrowing in parts) children’s film, with John Thaw as the grumpy widower who adopts an abused child evacuee in WW2.
Spoiler alert- there is a happy ending!
My DC also enjoyed “The Box of Delights”, based on the John Masefield children’s book. The special effects are a bit dated now, but it’s v imaginative and great fun.

Mine love cool runnings at the minute!
