When it comes to entertaining the whole family, Netflix has your back. The streamer's vast library has both animated and live-action films to delight every age. There are talking animals, of course — cats, angry birds, and elderly lizards — as well as fairy-tale heroes, dangerous robots, and two modern classics set in the LEGO universe.
Here's your guide to the best kids' movies on Netflix right now.
The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

Blasting out of the popular phone app, The Angry Birds Movie features Jason Sudeikis as the voice of Red, a bad-tempered bird who struggles to fit in with his placid island community. When a crew of pigs arrives determined to steal the colony's eggs, Red has to organize an avian resistance movement to combat the porcine threat. EW's critic promises that the movie "delivers a mildly diverting mix of winky meta-jokes and moral lessons, cannily aimed at both the next generation of tiny consumers and their more sophisticated parents." —Danny Horn

Mischief-making fourth-graders George (Kevin Hart) and Harold (Thomas Middleditch) don't want to be split into separate classes, so they distract their disapproving principal (Ed Helms) by hypnotizing him into adopting the superhero identity of Captain Underpants. This ruse comes in handy when the school's malevolent science teacher, Professor Pee-Pee Diarrheastein Poopypants Esq. (Nick Kroll), hatches a plot to eliminate all laughter from the school. EW's critic says that Captain Underpants works "because it never tries to be more or less than what it is: A breezily surreal story about two best friends who love pranks and tree houses and drawing superheroes who wear their Underoos on the outside." —D.H.

Feathered fighters escaped from Mrs. Tweedy's farm in 2000's claymation hit Chicken Run, but their carefree lives on a peaceful island sanctuary can't last forever. In this tasty sequel, a high-tech factory farm is built nearby, and Rocky (Zachary Levi) and Ginger's (Thandiwe Newton) headstrong daughter Molly (Bella Ramsey) is lured into the complex. Determined to retrieve her, the chickens and rats team up for a search-and-rescue mission in a witty spoof of Mission: Impossible and James Bond thrillers.

It's got a cricket, a woodcarver, and a little wooden puppet that comes to life, but Guillermo del Toro's stop-motion animated version of Pinocchio transforms the familiar tale into something entirely new. Set in Italy during Mussolini's fascist regime, the Oscar-winning film casts Pinocchio (Gregory Mann) as an inspiring spirit of civic disobedience. Ewan McGregor voices the cricket, tasked with guiding the impulsive boy through a series of adventures in the circus, the army, and the depths of the sea. It's a darker film than the Disney version, but it pulses with a deep appreciation for the miraculous gift of life. —D.H

This Oscar-nominated Netflix original provides a fun alternate history of Santa Claus. Set in 19th-century Norway, the film centers on Jesper Johansen (Jason Schwartzman), who struggles to live up to his Postmaster General father's expectations when he's tasked with posting 6,000 letters by year's end. He teams up with a toymaker, Klaus (J.K. Simmons), and inspires kids to pen letters in exchange for special presents, and, thus, a new tradition is born. Boasting lively vocal performances and visually striking animation, Klaus may be a new Christmas favorite but it can be enjoyed all year long. —Kevin Jacobsen

A high-speed ride through the toy store of your dreams, The LEGO Batman Movie constructs the ultimate kid-friendly blockbuster. When Batman (Will Arnett) refuses to acknowledge that the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) is his "greatest enemy," the deeply insulted clown prince of crime heads into the Phantom Zone to team up with the worst villains in the multiverse, including Voldemort, King Kong and the Wicked Witch of the West. EW’s critic writes that "Seventy-five percent of the film’s carpet-bomb campaign of pop culture meta punchlines will ricochet over the target audience’s head, but parents dragged along for the ride will no doubt be grateful for Arnett’s rat-a-tat send-ups of Adam West and superhero clichés." —D.H

Everything fits into place within the perfect plastic-brick world of The LEGO Movie, and construction worker Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt) is happy to be one of the crowd — until a secret resistance movement identifies him as the prophesied leader they've been waiting for. A celebration of creativity and the toy brand's mash-up aesthetic, the movie sweeps Emmet into an epic battle with a tyrannical toy CEO, aided by a tech-savvy builder, a pink unicorn-cat, a wizard, and Batman.

In this charming musical comedy, Leo features Adam Sandler as a 74-year-old reptile who realizes he's wasted his life sitting in a tank as a fifth-grade class pet.

The Mitchells — Rick and Linda, with their daughter Katie and young son Aaron — take an impromptu cross-country road trip to bring Katie to film school. Rick and Katie have a hard time getting along, but when a disgruntled high-tech AI assistant programs an army of home robots to capture all humans, father and daughter must work together to shut the bots down and free humanity. A high-energy comedy adventure, The Mitchells vs. the Machines combines a well-observed portrayal of dysfunctional family dynamics with apocalyptic themes and biting satire about our tech-obsessed culture. —D.H

In this science-fiction/fantasy epic, Nimona stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a rebellious young shapeshifter looking for a cause to fight for — preferably a messy, chaotic one. Hearing about a knight (Riz Ahmed) unfairly accused of killing the queen, Nimona appoints herself his new sidekick. Her ability to turn into any kind of animal — cycling between ostrich, squirrel, wolf, and whale, among others — gives her a special kind of freedom, even if other people consider her a monster. EW’s critic observes, "The story admiringly delves into how such monsters are in fact created by a society that refuses to accept their differences." —D.H

People say you should face your fears, but what happens when they face you? One night, Orion (Jacob Tremblay), an overly anxious 11-year-old, is confronted with his worst nightmare when the spirit of Dark (Paul Walter Hauser) appears in his bedroom, introduces himself, and says he wants to be friends. Dark introduces him to the other night entities — Quiet, Sleep, Sweet Dreams, and Unexplained Noises — but Orion is more interested in the cocky, self-involved Light (Ike Barinholtz). Ultimately, it's up to an adult Orion's (Colin Hanks) young daughter Hypatia (Mia Akemi Brown) to restore the balance of nature in this thoughtful, multi-generational fable. —D.H

Chinese mythology meets space-age imagination in this musical fantasy, which sends 15-year-old Fei Fei in a homemade fireworks-powered rocket to the moon. Traveling with her white rabbit and an obnoxious stowaway stepbrother, Fei Fei meets the pop star moon goddess Chang'e, who demands a gift that will bring back her lost love. Lunaria, the moon city, is a luscious riot of color and song, all neon energy and inspired visual flourishes. There's a high-stakes rap battle ping-pong competition, a touching moon-rabbit love story, and a gentle examination of loss and grief experienced by humans, mythological figures, and fantasy creatures alike. —D.H

Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is smart, independent, and entirely unappreciated by her lowbrow parents who send her to Crunchem Hall, a boarding school designed to bring troublemakers into line. This spirited adaptation of the Roald Dahl book and West End musical features Emma Thompson as the tyrannical headmistress of the Hall and Lashana Lynch as a teacher who recognizes Matilda's special gifts. The film's high point is the showstopping "Revolting Children" number, a rousing anthem about the powerless seizing their moment to shine. —D.H

Realizing that they say "no" so often that their family never has any fun, parents Allison (Jennifer Garner) and Carlos (Edgar Ramirez) agree to a "yes day": 24 hours when they have to say yes to everything their three kids suggest. The challenge starts with a silly makeover for both parents, an enormous ice cream sundae, and a ride through the car wash with the windows down — but an anarchic trip to the amusement park ends with both parents arrested.
