The Lego Batman Movie
Ends well. It has a great message about family, selfless-ness vs selfishness and wraps up very well.

The Lego Movie
This movie has ingredients for young and old. It's one the kids will want to watch over and over. (If you don't like a dry kind of humor than I don't think you'll like it.)

Shrek
Yes, this is a funny movie. Kinda reminds me of myself, "How can I get rid of all these children so I can have my home back?"--wink, wink.

How to Train Your Dragon 2
This is a good film even though it gets lost in my memory. There is a twist regarding the parents of the protagonist so if a child has lost a parent, it could open wounds.

This is surprisingly good. Good build of character. Good development of relationships. Satisfying ending.

Cars 3
This episode recaptures some of the intrigue of the first movie, but misses on the action.

Cars 2
This kinda becomes a movie that adults and track with more than the children, as it's a template from James Bond (and what child has seen a James Bond). But it misses the mark for adults too. It's really a story of Tow-mater and his…
Cars
A good story. It also teaches that our elders just might have wisdom we should listen to, even though they are old.

Night at the Museum
I stayed away from this movie for a long time thinking it was a horror type movie. I was pleasantly surprised to laugh out loud at the story. If I had realized Dick Van Dike, and Mikey Rooney were in it, I would have known better.

Kung Fu Panda
I should give a warning of violence. It is Kung Fu. There's a lot of fighting which, if imitated, can cause injury. So as your family watches the movie, pray your kids have wisdom to act like good boys and girls.

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…

Fun for the whole family.

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…
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.
