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

Mumsnet users share with Prime Video their favourite family films

My children love Star Wars, Harry Potter, all the Marvel universe movies, anything by Aardman, anything by Pixar, and anything with Pokemon in it 
We tend to watch these on a Sunday afternoon all together with bags of popcorn, most are an enjoyable way to wind down and spend quiet time together. And it gives them plenty of fodder for imaginative play afterwards.
The films they like are age appropraite in the main, and not likely to induce nightmares as they do have vivid imaginations!
I adore watching Toy Story 1/2/3 with my DC - they are incredible films and they remind me of days spent snuggling on the sofa when they were toddlers. They like the Cars, Planes, Despicable Me / Minions, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Monsters franchise films and various Lego movies.
A current favourite is The Incredibles, as we are planning a holiday trip to the cinema to see the sequel.
I love ET, but surprisingly my DC didn't like it when we watched it a few months ago - I think it was quite dated from DC1's POV and DC2 was a bit scared of ET 
. I'm hoping a second viewing might help - there are some films from the same era I'd like them to watch, but not sure how well they have aged.
With the summer holidays coming up, I'm certainly going to be using Prime Video to find films that the DC can watch to help with the cries of "I'm bored", so it is great to see some fantastic films listed as being available.
My two are terrible at watching films, they haven't bothered with typical classics yet and they loathe Disney too except the Cars movies. They tolerate Christmas stuff like Nativity and Polar Express and they did enjoy both Paddington movies though wouldn't opt to watch them again
So, um our three family favourites here are
Cars Movie
Cars 2
Cars 3
In no particular order, assuming I don't actually have to concentrate on the thing.
