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

Beauty and the Beast
The Little Mermaid
Labyrinth
Ghostbusters
DuckTales the Movie
Moonwalker (DD is now obsessed with MJ)

Very eclectic list! I could go on as there are loads more but the films above feature quite heavily on family film nights. Now DD is older she can appreciate them more and seems to genuinely love watching them, think it makes her feel more connected to DH and I.

Up and How to Train your Dragon

[Thewindsofchange]

Wall-E and Up are regularly requested (by both dc) as well as Classic Disney films Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Rescuers. They both have their individual favourites too but these ones they are happy to both watch. Always a bonus!

Moana
Charlie and the chocolate factory

It's always going to be Frozen for me. Dd1 was 3 when it came out. She sat on my lap in the cinema. It might have been her first cinema trip.
I bought the soundtrack and all my kids at work (children in care at the time) would sit in my car and sing at the top of their voices to all the songs. That film holds very special meaning for me. I hope it's on tv at Xmas forever

[Queenofthedrivensnow]

And all th robin williams films though I very like a child at every one. Night at the museum is the dds favourite
