The Amazing Panda Adventure
This is a great movie if you've just adopted a Chinese child. If you've watched this movie before traveling to China, you think "oh that's just low budget stuff that wouldn't happen in reality." Then you see a lot of the same stuff in…
Moana
As a musical it has catchy tunes that we like. As a demi-god story it treads into the dark waters that Disney has always used in story telling. That puts a check in my spirit regarding rating the movie, but unless we teach our kids what's…
Into the Woods
Surprisingly captivating. Unlike the long list of movies in the list. We love musicals though.

Maleficent
I was pleasently surprised by the story, but again there is magic used which falls into the category Scripture warns us to avoid. (I don't think that means for us to avoid the movie but familiarity unfortunately opens kids up to avaliability…
Spider-Man

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Although a lot of people give this movie poor ratings in their reviews, I think it's a very good movie to watch with the kids. Yes, there is an evil villain and he gets sliced in two, after killing a good guy, so that is a kids drawback.…
Minions
I've put this one in the list to let you know it's not that good. If you have kids that are just magnets to unwanted behaviors, this movie will fan their flames of behaviors.

The Lion King
This comes out in 2019 and is just another live action remake of the animated movie.
This movie has not been released to the theaters yet.
The Lion King
There is a scene of violence, perpetrated by the uncle on the father of the main character of the movie (domestic violence), so just a warning. When it came out I can remember it was a big thing for us young parents, now it seems ho-hum…

I put a warning on this movie because it's very violent and has some sensual forms.
