No doubt, keeping your kids occupied while you are working is a task. But don’t worry, all you need to do is keep our list ready and let your kids have some fun.

1. The Croods

It is the story of a caveman family who loses their house in a natural disaster. The journey of the Crood family to find a new house makes the movie appealing. The family only comes out in daylight for food and quickly goes back inside when dark. You will love every character in the movie. What makes the movie great is how they bond together in between to find the new house.   

2. The Willoughbys (2020)

The four Willoughby children go on an adventure to find new parents, as they feel abandoned by their own. The movie lets you find out the true meaning of family. It is an adaptation of the bestselling book by Lois Lowry. Their plan of independence doesn’t go as imagined & that’s what the films store for the audience to explore.

3. Stuart Little

This one never gets old. The Little family adopts a small mouse Stuart, on their way to find a brother for George (their son). Everyone loves Stuart as he is a human-civilized mouse, except Snowbell, the Little family cat, who wants to kill him along with her friends. With its twist and turns, you will find what’s stored for Stuart ahead. 

4. Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

Mary Poppins has been a huge part of our childhood. After almost a decade Marry Poppins finally returns to our life & to save Mr. Banks siblings. This one is as original as the new one. It succeeds in telling a new story with equally important lessons about family, love, and hope. I hope you are ready for some magical adventures.

5. Jumanji

The story is about an enchanted board game played by two young siblings, Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter (Bradley Pierce), who unearth a mystical jungle-themed board game. Now, this brings all the wildlife of the jungle to the real world.

It only gets more adventurous ahead as the kids also release a man stuck in the game for 26 years.  The sequels Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: The Next Level, also worked really well.

6. Spy Kids

We all wanted to be spies after watching Spy kids. The movie is about kids who are spies saving the world from villains. The movie will enthrall you with its cool gadgets and spy wears. Robert Rodriguez created this imaginative adventure and it is a must-watch. The movie led to three sequels and even an animated reboot series in 2018.

No, this is not a remake of Disney Jungle Book. Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is a live-action/CGI hybrid movie based on the work of Rudyard Kipling. We have Benedict Cumberbatch as villainous tiger Shere Khan which becomes my sole reason to watch the movie.

Apart from that, the movie is more intense and dark. It has plenty of adventures with an animal which makes it more enthralling.

12. Ralph Breaks the Internet

After six years of Wreck-It Ralph, we now have the warm-hearted sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet. The story of Ralph and Vanellope, now friends, discover a wi-fi router in their arcade & that’s how they venture into a whole new gaming adventure.

24. Angela’s Christmas

This sweet story by Irish author Frank McCourt talks about family bonding and how we should take care of them. Set in Ireland in the 1910s, Angela’s Christmas is a light-hearted and poignant movie. It is a perfect choice for the Christmas season. 

25. Cinderella (2021)

How can I even end the list without this one? Cinderella by Kay Cannon is one of its kind, you can call it the musical version of Cinderella. The movie is a bold take on the classic fairy tale, not to mention Camila Cabello, as Cinderella is the best part of the movie.
