Great family films are often passed down through generations and not only do the films themselves bring great memories but also the memorable characters. Coming together to watch a film as a family can be a great way to spend time with your loved ones. Prime Video would love to know what your family films are and why?

Here’s what Prime Video have to say: “The smash hit family film Paddington 2 has just been added to Prime Video, joining thousands of great movies and TV shows the whole family can enjoy. Paddington 2 sees the loveable bear settled into life with the Brown Family and starting to do some odd jobs so he can buy Aunt Lucie a birthday present. Before he can get it, the gift is stolen by a master thief and Paddington is the suspect.”

“To celebrate, we want to hear what classics you watch with your kids. Prime Video has many to enjoy including Yogi Bear, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Gruffalo, Casper, The Wizard of Oz, Nanny McPhee, E.T, Beethoven, Tom and Jerry, Pingu, Thomas and Friends, Scooby-Doo, Kung-Fu Panda and Shaun The Sheep.”

What do you enjoy watching with your whole family? Do you go for the classic such as ET and The Wizard of Oz or do you prefer the new films such as Kung Fu Panda? Or maybe your family has a staple film that you all watch on special occasions?

Whatever your favourite films are to watch as a family, share them on the thread below to be entered into a prize draw to win 1 of 3 Amazon Fire Kids Edition Tablets, made just for kids.

Thanks and good luck

We love anything minions, boss baby, we’re going on a bear hunt, if it’s a short Julia Donaldson film here we also absolutely love it!
In the past we’ve been obsessed with the usual frozen and tangled, lion king. Our ultimate favourite is Disney’s dinosaur 😍

I loved Paddington and looking forward to the next one! Really like The Borrowers with John Goodman although there was a time I couldn't stand it after watching it what seemed like daily for a year haha! Kung Fu Panda are all fantastic!

There are so many to choose from but Harry Potter is always a favourite as are Disney movies and two of the best movies we have ever watched as a family are the Paddington films. I didn't expect to like them so much but was utterly charmed by them both.
