Best Family Movies on Amazon Prime Video

A pig named Wilbur is saved from the dinner table by a resourceful spider named Charlotte. A gentle, beautifully told classic about friendship and sacrifice — reliably one of the best-reviewed family films on the platform.

A young bear from Peru is taken in by a skeptical London family. Warm, funny, and beautifully made — Paddington's earnest goodness wins over everyone in the room, on screen and off.

Dracula runs a hotel where monsters can relax away from humans — until one wanders in. Colorful, fast-paced, and consistently a hit with younger kids who enjoy monsters that are silly rather than scary.

A prehistoric family ventures beyond their sheltered cave for the first time when their home is destroyed. Genuinely funny, visually inventive, and built around a warm father-daughter dynamic that resonates well with this age group.

A girl discovers she can see other people's forgotten imaginary friends and sets out to reconnect them with their kids. A blend of live action and animation from John Krasinski, with real emotional depth beneath its whimsical premise.

Two feuding brothers are launched into a real space adventure by a mysterious board game. Genuine peril and real sibling stakes make this land harder — and more satisfyingly — than a typical adventure film at this age.

A group of chickens plots an escape from their farm before they end up as pot pies. Aardman's stop-motion charm and sly wit make this one of the rare films that genuinely holds every age in the room at once.

A lonely boy befriends a stranded alien and helps him find a way home. A near-perfect encapsulation of childhood — kids are captivated by ET himself, adults get the full weight of Spielberg's nostalgia and craft.

A brilliant girl with neglectful parents discovers she has telekinetic powers and uses them to stand up for herself and her classmates. Roald Dahl's story of righteous rebellion against unfair adults resonates at every age.

A supervillain's plan to steal the moon is derailed when he adopts three orphan girls as part of a scheme — and falls for them for real. Funny, warm, and the film that launched the Minions into the cultural stratosphere.
