Transforming your living room into your very own cinema, snuggling up with a bowl of popcorn, and nestling down to watch a family film together is one of the most wholesome and enjoyable ways to spend time with your kids. For me, there really is no better bonding experience. Once that movie is on, the outside world and all of the worries of the day disappear, leaving only the sweet joy of quality family time. 

My kids and I are HUGE fans of all things DreamWorks. There’s just something about their unmatched ability to capture both humor and important moral lessons within an adventurous, brilliantly animated storyline that keeps us coming back again and again. Whether it’s classics like Shrek and Spirit or the more modern Abominable and Boss Baby, DreamWorks has something to appeal to every audience, so you’ll never be stuck for choice.

2. The Prince of Egypt (1998)

After Yocheved, a Jewish mother who fears for the safety of her newborn son surrenders him to the Nile, he is adopted by the Queen, who later names him Moses.
