There's nothing lovelier than settling down for the evening to watch a film with your kids. We remember doing the same with our own parents as children, and those films are often the ones that bring us the most joy and our fondest memories.
While there are plenty of new film releases each year, sometimes, the classic kids' films truly are the best ones. These films not only give us a chance to laugh, cry and relate, but they're also great for teaching our children some important life lessons, like standing up for what you believe in, not judging a book by its cover and the joy of friendship.
With Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney Plus at the click of a button (plus some good old DVDs thrown in there for good measure), there's a wealth of amazing cinema at our fingertips for the whole family to share.
