Families are increasingly searching for budget-friendly entertainment options. Amazon Prime provides a selection of films suitable for various demographics. While its offerings may be perceived as limited compared to other streaming services, there are still notable choices available. Noteworthy films include "The Adventures of Tintin," directed by Spielberg, which features impressive animation. "Baby Boom," a clever comedy starring Diane Keaton, presents family themes. Carroll Ballard's "The Black Stallion" is acclaimed for its cinematography and storytelling. Additionally, "Bumblebee" stands out as a joyful adventure film, connecting with the spirit of classic family movies.
Steven Spielberg directed this underrated adaptation of the Hergé comic series in 2011 with fantastic voice work from people like Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, and Daniel Craig. Spielberg can do things with animation that wouldn’t be possible with live-action, and he brings his childlike wonder as a filmmaker to this engaging adventure flick.
Nancy Meyers co-wrote this clever family comedy about a successful woman who finds herself the unexpected mother of a 14-month-old baby girl when her long-lost cousin leaves her the child after her death. This may be for the slightly older kids and some of its gender politics are dated, but Diane Keaton keeps it moving with her ace timing.
Carroll Ballard directed this 1979 critical darling that adapts the beloved book by Walter Farley and contains stunning cinematography from the legendary Caleb Deschanel. It may not be fast-paced enough for modern younger viewers, but kids can still appreciate the lyrical, poetic storytelling here, even if mom and dad end up liking it even more.
Travis Knight of Laika fame (Kubo and the Two Strings) directed the best Transformers movie in this unexpectedly joyous spinoff of the massive Hasbro series of films. It’s a movie with the same kind of family/adventure spirit as ’80s classics of the genre, buoyed by fun performances from Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena.
