Weeks of quarantine with kids have a way of
burning through a movie collection.
Even with the libraries of streaming services like
Netflix, Amazon, Disney Plus and others, there
are plenty of households that have already had
their fill of “Frozen” and overdosed on “Onward.”
In the best of times, the canon for kids movies
can feel limiting. Disney overwhelms.
But there’s a wider world of movies out there
for young ones. We’ll assume they’ve already
accrued a solid foundation of some of the
essentials: “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “The Iron Giant,”
Pixar, the Muppets, et cetera. So here’s a few
slightly further afield options — all available to
stream, rent or are free — that your kids might
not have seen.
