Part 1: New Best Family Movies on Prime Video

Here are the best 5 new family movies on Prime Video that you can enjoy with your kids today.

1. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania

This new movie on Prime Video to watch that families will love is Hotel Transylvania: Transformania from 2022. It's part of the Hotel Transylvania series. Since the pandemic things were weird, and this movie from Sony was only on Prime Video. In it, Dracula becomes human and his son-in-law Johnny becomes a monster. But like they say, what's on the inside is what really matters.

2. Early Man

Another great one is Early Man from 2018. It was made by Aardman, who is insanely talented at stop-motion. You know them from Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep movies. This one is about Stone Age people who play football against a team with bronze weapons. Nick Park directed and while it may not be their best, it's still hilarious for families.

3. My Spy

Also, there's the action-comedy My Spy from 2020. It was supposed to come out sooner but got delayed because of COVID. So it went straight to Prime Video. Dave Bautista stars as a spy stuck babysitting a smart 9-year-old girl. It's a bit much for little kids. But worth seeing just for Dave - and there are plans for a sequel in 2024!

4. Paddington 2

Paddington 2 from 2018 is such a great movie for the whole family. Paul King directed it and it's even better than the first Paddington. Ben Whishaw voices the marmalade-loving bear in a story where he ends up in jail but learns cool life lessons. Kids and parents both love it.

5. Paranorman

Another awesome one is Paranorman from 2012. The animation studio Laika is insanely talented, have you seen Coraline or Kubo? But this might be their best. It's about a kid who talks to ghosts and has to break a curse. Even with ghosts, the movie is beautifully done and teaches something nice. Little kids and grownups will all have fun watching from start to end.

Part 2: Classic Family Movies on Prime Video

Here are the 5 best classic family movies that you can watch on Prime Video with your kids today.

1. The Secret of Roan Inish

The Secret of Roan Inish from 1995 shows families something meaningful and unforgettable. Directed by John Sayles, it tells an Irish legend in a way that only Ireland could inspire. With gorgeous cinematography, it's the story of a girl who hears her baby brother was swept away by a selkie. Both educational and entertaining.

2. Labyrinth

Kids and grownups also love the fantasy movie Labyrinth from 1986. Directed by the legendary Jim Henson, it stars David Bowie as the Goblin King who kidnaps a girl's little brother. Some parts feel older, but it still amazes with its amazing puppetry. Henson created a fun but also magical world that families always enjoy. It's great for little ones to discover his iconic work.

3. It’s a Wonderful Life

It's a Wonderful Life from 1946 is a film loved by families for such a long time. Even when it's not Christmas, the film teaches about what really matters. And Jimmy Stewart gives one of the most memorable performances ever seen.

4. All Dogs Go to Heaven

In 1989, All Dogs Go to Heaven was another big animated hit. While The Little Mermaid was popular, Don Bluth directed this heartwarming story about a dog who comes back from heaven seeking revenge but finds friendship. It was hugely successful on video and led to more films and shows - great for dog lovers of all ages.

5. Sounder

Lastly, Sounder from 1973 may not be the type of family movie with cartoons and laughs. But it gives kids a good look at life in the Depression-era South through the true story of a poor black family and their loyal dog. Paul Winfield and Cicely Tyson give Oscar-worthy performances that will stick with viewers, young and old. Sometimes more serious real-life tales are worth a watch too between the popcorn films.
