50 best kids’ G-rated movies on Netflix right now

Family movie night is a time-honored tradition. Who doesn’t love hunkering down on the couch with a bucket of popcorn for a few hours of cozy entertainment with the kids? But with so much content available, choosing a film can get downright stressful — particularly if you’re trying to find an age-appropriate flick for little ones. 

Studies have shown that when kids are exposed to violence in the media, it can cause emotional distress, antisocial behavior and even long-term mental health issues. And on the flip side, when kids watch movies that are geared toward their age group, they can instill valuable lessons and help build character.  

In other words, when your kids are small, sticking to G-rated movies on Netflix is a wise decision. 

Feel overwhelmed every time you try to find a wholesome and entertaining kids’ movie? Here are 50 G rated movies on Netflix right now that the whole family will love.
