Built by a parent,
for parents

Why we built this

Picking a family movie
shouldn't take longer than the movie

You open Netflix. You scroll for ten minutes. You suggest something, someone complains. You open Disney+. You scroll again. By the time everyone agrees, it's too late to start anything.

This happens in millions of households every week. Streaming platforms are designed to maximise watch time — not to help you quickly find a great film that works for a 5-year-old and a 9-year-old and two tired parents.

WatchWithKids exists to solve exactly that. Set the ages, pick a mood, choose your platform. Done.

What the tool does

Smart filters that actually matter to parents

WatchWithKids pulls data from TMDb — one of the most comprehensive movie and TV databases in the world — and filters it in ways that are genuinely useful for families:

• Age-appropriate results — slide to your kids' ages. Add multiple kids and the tool finds titles that work for the whole group at once.
• Mood filter — Calm, Silly, Adventure, Educational, Musical. Pick the vibe that fits the evening.
• Avoid filter — skip scary scenes, violence, crude humor, or strong language. Because some nights you just want something gentle.
• Platform filter — see only what's on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Apple TV+, or Max. No clicking through to find it's not available.
• Parent Enjoyment Mode — filter to highly-rated titles that parents genuinely enjoy too. Think Pixar, Studio Ghibli, and the best animated films ever made.
• Save for later — bookmark picks directly in your browser, no account needed.

Data & transparency

Powered by TMDb

Movie and TV data comes from The Movie Database (TMDb), a community-built database with over a million titles. WatchWithKids uses the TMDb API to fetch ratings, genres, streaming availability, and certification data.

Streaming availability is sourced from JustWatch via TMDb's watch provider data. It reflects US availability and is updated regularly, but may not always be real-time accurate — always confirm on the platform itself before settling in.

This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
