A Quick Note on Age Appropriateness
While all of these movies are family-friendly, every child is different.
If your little one is sensitive to loud noises or intense scenes, you may want to preview trailers first to make sure each movie is a good fit.
Make It a Cozy Movie Moment
If you want to turn movie time into a sweet memory, set up a simple blanket fort, dim the lights, grab a snack, and let your toddler pick the movie.
Sometimes the build-up is just as magical as the movie itself!
