To celebrate the launch of the new Vodafone family price plan (Red+) and that this Christmas you can also enjoy a 3 month NOW TV Sky Movies with Red 4G Vodafone want to know what your fail safe film is for travelling with children!

Vodafone say "We all know those long journeys with children, especially at christmas time when they are even more excited, can feel a bit endless. These days, technology makes this a bit easier! With a 3 month NOW TV Sky Movies Pass from Vodafone, you can select a film to help pass the time for children".

Vodafone has also launched a new plan, designed specifically for families. Red+ gives you one data allowance to share and you can even cap your kids’ data so they don't go over their limit. You'll get one simple bill for all devices, saving you money compared to individual plans, and you'll also get unlimited calls and texts.

The Vodafone Digital Parenting Guide can be found here: www.vodafone.co.uk/family

So whether your children climb over seats to catch yet another screening of Frozen, or have a secret sob to Toy Story 3, please share the film you can be quietly confident will give you some peace on the journey and keep the kids occupied.

Add your comment to this thread and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £250 Hamleys voucher (can be used online and in the stores)

Please note your comments may be used by Vodafone or MN on Vodafone pages, social media or possibly elsewhere - please only add a comment if you're happy for it to be used.

Thanks and good luck

My fail safe film for entertainment was The Borrowers with John Goodman, my son could watch it over and over and over...
However we never watched films in the car, we made up games that involved looking out of windows and avoiding getting car sick!

Sing a long Frozen - sing song all the way

staceyshoes · 21/11/2014 17:52

The Grinch normally goes down pretty well

gemima27 · 21/11/2014 19:09

toy story or minions would do the trick

sweetnuttydogs · 21/11/2014 19:27

Our girls love Santa Paws and there are 3 of them so keeps them entertained for hours. Also I don't mind watching them, they are feel good movies !!

marymanc · 21/11/2014 19:29

We haven't got a car and travel mainly by train. The movies that would keep my children entertained are Despicable me 1 and 2 and Arthur Christmas.

Aethelfleda · 21/11/2014 20:24

We listen to audio books in the car (Roald Dahl and Doctor Who usually!) but if we did on a chrimbo journey it would be the Polar Express, my big two love it...

worriedmum46 · 21/11/2014 22:25

My guys love Polar Express, we only bring it out in December so they have not got bored of it yet!

Toy Story

xaphan77 · 22/11/2014 14:29

frozen is the most popular the moment but certainly doesnt mean peace when they're singing along to it!!

keeleyatkinson1986 · 22/11/2014 14:56

Well you know this year that it's going to be Frozen, it's on at least 3 times a week.

I can't get the songs out of my head lol! Hmm

sarah3875 · 22/11/2014 15:48

Home Alone. They think it's genius and start leaving "traps" everywhere for me. Luckily, they are not as advanced as Kevin!

keshimonster · 22/11/2014 16:03
