You are going to have a lot of fun with your kids. In this special collection, we also want to select the movies that could also teach your children how to be a good person.
It is important for a child to understand about life’s principals. These movies will show them what life really is and how to take care of each others.
Find below the top 10 funny kids movies to see with your kids.
1. How to Train Your Dragon
Hiccup, the son of a Viking chief, is an awkward teenager who befriends Toothless, an injured dragon. The village where he lives, however, thinks dragons are nothing but raiders who pillage their homes for food.
Why you should watch it: Hiccup and Toothless portray a friendship that’s worth fighting for. Hiccup knows that Toothless is misunderstood and takes care of him when he found out that he couldn’t fly well anymore. And when an injured Hiccup almost fell to his death, Toothless swoops in to save him. This movie will leave a mark on your kids’ minds that physical differences are a negligible factor when it comes to friendship.
2. Up!
Carl fulfills his and his wife’s dream to see South America by tying thousands of balloons to his house. He sets sail not knowing that he has taken young Russell with him. Together, they attempt to get the house near Paradise Falls, meeting some setbacks along the way.
Why you should watch it: In this movie, we see how friendship transcends ages. Carl, an elderly man, befriends Russell, a young boy whom he finds quite annoying at first. Watching how different the two characters are gives this movie a funny twist. It also shows us how some adventures make lasting friendships.
3. The Incredibles
Mr. Incredible and his wife, Elastigirl, have raised their kids, who have superpowers of their own, in a quiet place. Mr. Incredible longs for the days when he fought villains, so when someone recruits him to destroy robots, he accepts the job without telling his family. His family sets out to look for him, only to find out that they’ll be battling a new super villain.
Why you should watch it: This movie impresses upon kids that you can always count on your family to have your back when you need them most. Mr. Incredible decided not to tell Elastigirl and their kids of his latest pursuits, endangering their lives in the process. Soon, he finds out that his family is all that matters to him.
4. My Neighbor Totoro
Sisters Satsuki and Mei meet some nature spirits whom they befriend. When Mei disappears, Satsuki asks Totoro, a large magical creature to help her find her sister.
Why you should watch it: Pop this movie in your VCR when your daughters are fighting over something petty. Let them figure out how scared Satsuki feels when she realizes that her brashness led to Mei disappearing. “My Neighbor Totoro” shows the importance of family and how our children’s vivid imagination brings magic into our everyday lives.
5. Monsters University
Mike Wazowski has always dreamed of studying in Monsters University and becoming a scarer. His hopes come to a halt when he and fellow classmate, James Sullivan, get thrown out of the scaring program and become outcasts.
Why you should watch it: Mike’s stature and endearing appearance, which makes him less scary to look at, do not stop him from pursuing his dreams. And being told that he’s not scary-looking enough made him even more determined to prove himself. In the end, he makes a lifelong friend and he realizes his full potential. Tell your children to never stop going after what they want in life, just like Mike did.
6. Wreck-it Ralph
Ralph, the villain in the arcade game Fix-it Felix, wants nothing more than to be viewed as a hero. The problem is that his fellow Fix-it Felix characters think that he can never be one and that he is meant to just destroy things. To prove his worth, Ralph leaves his game to look for a hero’s medal and ends up helping Venellope, an outcast car racer.
Why you should watch it: “Wreck-it Ralph” shows us how we can be too quick to judge at times. Ralph is a misunderstood character who doesn’t have any choice but to act as the bad guy. Ask your kids if they know someone from school who is just like Ralph — friendless because he is a huge, hunkering guy who always breaks things. Encourage them to open up to these “outsiders” to get to know them better.
7. Ratatouille
Remy is different from his rat family. Yes, he likes food. He likes it so much that he is an excellent chef!
Why you should watch it: “Ratatouille” encourages your kids to hone their talents, no matter what people say or think about them. Remy showed viewers that anyone can do great things even if they’re small and even if other people (and the society) dictate otherwise. If you come from a family of doctors and are a doctor yourself, don’t force your kid to be one as well. If he/she wants to become a dancer, enroll him/her in dancing classes. If he/she wants to go to Broadway someday, then take him/her to theater workshops.
8. Mulan
Mulan goes to war in her father’s place to defend her country during a time when women stayed at home and looked after the family and the house. Her determination, intelligence, and clever disguise made her a good soldier in an army of men.
Why you should watch it: Mulan is not like most Disney princesses, that is, she was not passive and did not simply wait for her prince charming to come sweep her off her feet. She went to war and saved all of China from the Huns. Impress upon your kids that girls, just like boys, are strong and should always be treated as equals.
9. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie and his grandfather, along with four other kids and their parents, get invited for a tour in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
Why you should watch it: This movie is a classic tale of how good always triumphs over evil. Charlie, a kind boy, was chosen by Willy Wonka over the other disrespectful and spoiled children to run his chocolate factory someday. To emphasize Charlie’s goodness further, he refuses to leave his family, who lives in poverty, to stay in Wonka’s factory. When Wonka visits Charlie, he sees how much he and his family love each other, finally asking all of them to move into his place.
10. Matilda
Matilda is different from the other members of her family. Not only does she love to read, she also has telekinesis, the power to move objects with her mind. She helps her favorite teacher get back her house from her evil step-aunt’s clutches with her special ability, her intelligence, and her bravery.
Why you should watch it: Matilda shows us that being different is okay and that you can stand up to a person, regardless of how young or old you are, when you know you’re right. Kids will surely love the magical element in the movie!
