The good news is that Netflix has no shortage of options to choose from, including everything from 2025 mega-hit K-Pop Demon Hunters to virtually the entire library of films from the exceptional Studio Ghibli catalogue.
We've compiled a lit consisting of 20 varied options currently available on the streamer below – scroll down for our picks alongside reviews from the Radio Times archive.
Check out our list of the best family films on Netflix below.
1. K-Pop Demon Hunters
Led by the evil, yet attractive, Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop), Saja Boys aim to gain in popularity until they're ready to unleash their demon armies. This is a dazzling watch, with animation reminiscent of the kinetic, colourful Spider-Verse movies but with a bold Korean twist. The jokes are universal but K-pop fans can also enjoy cheeky nods to real-life bands (Saja Boys's six-pack-flaunting member "Abs" could well be San from Ateez, for example). As for the music: there's a reason lead track Golden hit number one across the world, including in the UK. – Jayne Nelson
2. My Neighbour Totoro - and more Studio Ghibli films
Everything sings of the innocence and wonderment of youth and, while some may bemoan the minimalist storyline, the graphics are an utter delight. – David Parkinson
NOTE: We could have populated this list entirely with Studio Ghibli films – there are a huge range of wonderful options from the beloved animation studio currently streaming, with Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle among the others which are well worth checking out.
3. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
Ewan McGregor turns in a delightful performance as the talking cricket who serves as narrator. The animation is stunning, especially in the sequences where the director leans into the source novel's surrealism, while Alexandre Desplat's atmospheric score is spellbinding. Del Toro has spoken at length about Pinocchio's influence on his life and career, and this intricate film is a clear passion project made with love and care. With sensitivity and heart, it explores grief, war, and the question of what it truly means to be human. – Patrick Cremona
4. Back to the Future
It's beautifully played by the cast (honourable mentions to Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover), and makes the most of an ingenious script from Bob Gale and Zemeckis that finds time to poke fun at 50s icons and lifestyles between the bouts of time-travelling. Zemeckis's direction is equally adroit and he never lets the effects swamp the film. – John Ferguson
5. Mary and the Witch's Flower
View Green Video on the source websiteThis sweet and simple story may lack the emotional heft of classic Japanese anime, but it gets the basics right. And, in Mary, the film also has a different kind of hero, one whose journey is as much about self-acceptance as it is saving the day. – Victoria Luxford
6. IF
Krasinski seems set on making a live-action Pixar equivalent – echoes of Monsters, Inc and more mount up - but the animation studio's precision-honed plotting and comedy elude him as IF meanders through Bea's healing arc. The huge cast of A-listers voicing the CG IFs proves indulgent, diluting the focus further, though Fleming and Reynolds's measured leads provide anchoring charm.
A visit to the IFs' magical world adds flashes of invention, too, before the finale's inevitable tug on the heartstrings. Amid hazily defined homilies about remembering lost loved ones, Krasinski's warm-hearted muddle slips rather too readily from the memory. – Kevin Harley
7. Nimona
Boldheart's plight attracts the attention of the peculiar Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shapeshifting pink weirdo who enjoys a fight. A tentative bond forms between the rogue knight and the homicidal "monster" in a film that successfully explores the themes of friendship, diversity and acceptance.
Visually, Nimona is stunning, its inventive 2D animation blending with eye-popping 3D design. The action set pieces are thrilling, too, although possibly a little intense for very young audiences. While some of the plot twists are easy to guess, it doesn't spoil what is an otherwise fresh and exhilarating adventure. – Jayne Nelson
8. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Hacking into the cheese-loving pals' computer system from his prison cell in the zoo, McGraw takes control of the bot, mass-replicates it and triggers a crime wave, framing Wallace in the process. Consequently, it's up to Gromit to clear his owner's name and bring the bad guy to book, with the help of a plucky policewoman. Laughs, jeopardy and outrageous physical comedy ensue, with the result significantly better paced than the only previous feature-length instalment in the franchise, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Creator and co-director Nick Park ensures the expected elements are in place: a gag-packed script, magnificent set design and a healthy helping of bonkers gadgetry. Taking over from the late Peter Sallis, Ben Whitehead ticks all the right boxes as the voice of Wallace, ensuring a smooth transition that sustains the fun millions of fans have come to expect. – Terry Staunton
9. Bridge to Terabithia
After an awkward introduction, they become inseparable, inventing a magical imaginary kingdom known as Terabithia (a homage to CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia) in their local woods. This attractive realm and its fantastical creatures provide a showcase for a wealth of enjoyable digital effects.
Yet, ironically, it's the duo's mundane daily experiences and the way their secret exploits gradually empower them at school that are the story's greatest strengths. In his debut movie as director, former Rugrats animator Gabor Csupo tackles pre-teen issues with both wit and sensitivity, while the film's unexpectedly tragic turn makes the final segment particularly affecting. – Sloan Freer
10. Chicken Run
The nods to classic film moments are funny and plentiful, the largely British voice cast (Julia Sawalha, Jane Horrocks, Miranda Richardson, Timothy Spall) lends moments of humour and pathos, and the set pieces are exhilarating in their ingenuity and comic élan. – David Parkinson
11. The Mitchells vs the Machines
View Green Video on the source websiteA fraught situation is made worse when he packs the whole family into the car to take Katie to college, only for their road trip to be thrown off course by a robot uprising. Can the Mitchells set aside their differences and save the planet?
Though it's stuffed with visual gags and outrageously funny set pieces (many involving pet pug Doug), the film never loses sight of its human characters. They imbue this kaleidoscopic feast for the eyes with real heart, ensuring that while The Mitchells vs the Machines is a nonstop gag-fest, it's also a warm and witty celebration of family. And pugs. – Josh Winning
12. The Sea Beast
Captain Crow (Jared Harris) and Jacob (Karl Urban) have fought hundreds of watery battles with tentacled monsters. However, it isn't until the arrival on board of a child named Maisie (Zaris-Angel Hator) that things start to go wrong.
Directed and co-written by Moana's Chris Williams, The Sea Beast has a lot of fun smashing together genres (pirates vs King Kong, anyone?). The film is given extra punch thanks to a witty script, inventive animation and a spirited performance from Hator, who previously played the lead in the West End production of Matilda. – Jayne Nelson
13. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
Maxwell Simba (in his debut) carries the focal role of William with conviction and some aplomb, while Ejiofor gives a supporting performance of controlled power as the boy's embattled father, Trywell. The film adopts an episodic narrative structure - using the chapter titles of sowing, growing, harvest, hunger and wind - to illustrate the arduous agrarian existence experienced by Trywell and his fellow villagers. Constantly at the mercy of a climate that can parch or flood the land at any given moment, the farmers are also hamstrung by corrupt government officials (who are not shy at handing out beatings) and rapacious capitalism (tobacco industry-induced deforestation).
It's sensitively directed and Ejiofor strives to keep things real with much of the dialogue in Chichewa. It's no bad thing to have Mike Leigh's regular cameraman Dick Pope (Mr Turner, Peterloo) on board to provide a vivid and visceral authenticity. Meanwhile, Antonio Pinto's subtle score gently underpins a story that avoids lazy lapses into sentimentality. The result is a genuinely life-affirming tale that displays a refreshingly unpatronising view of the challenges facing communities in 21st-century Africa and acts as a ringing endorsement of the importance of education. – Jeremy Aspinall
14. The Greatest Showman
Jackman is a superb ringmaster with Zac Efron (as Barnum's showbiz partner) and Rebecca Ferguson (as Jenny Lind, "The Swedish Nightingale") providing top-notch support. La La Land lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's songs provide the melodic counterpoint to some extravagantly staged routines, with Lind's power-ballad showstopper Never Enough among the musical highlights. – Alan Jones
15. The Karate Kid
Macchio rises above the trite script to deliver a sympathetic and believable performance, while Morita is equally good value - and look out, too, for Elisabeth Shue in an early role. This is certainly the best in the film series. – John Ferguson
16. Orion and the Dark
A brisk, bright buddy movie follows, as Orion and the Dark join other playfully realised "night entities" - Insomnia, Quiet, Unexplained Noises etc - as they carry out their work. Adapting Emma Yarlett's picture book alongside first-time feature director Sean Charmatz, Kaufman teases dry humour from Orion's hang-ups and the night crew's spiky banter.
Further fresh touches include Werner Herzog's voice cameo, a spry song by The Flaming Lips and a nightmarish cucumber dentist, which help to offset distracting echoes of manifold Pixar films elsewhere. Orion and the Dark may be dramatically lightweight and heavy on homilies, but Kaufman's surreal imagination and empathy for the awkward make for a vivid, winning and wryly relatable charmer. – Kevin Harley
17. Enola Holmes
Against the wishes of her elder brothers (Henry Cavill as the famous detective, Sam Claflin as the stuffy Mycroft), she absconds from her uptight finishing school and sets out to solve the mystery. It's a knockabout yarn that never takes itself too seriously, blessed with a witty script and taut action.
There's so much to enjoy in Brown's captivating central performance, especially her numerous asides to camera that take the viewer along for the ride. The plot may be a little sticky in places, but the occasional hiccups don't hang around, and as the opening salvo in a potential franchise it'll do just nicely. – Terry Staunton
18. Jurassic Park
View Green Video on the source websiteHowever, all is not well in this new Garden of Eden and, in the jungle, the creatures are restless. (When movie scientists tamper with nature, you just know something will go wrong!) T rex and her chums may be the stars of the show, but Spielberg orchestrates the action with such effortless verve that, even today, it's hard not to be transfixed by the thrilling spectacle and the sheer scale of the director's vision. – John Ferguson
19. Corpse Bride
She whisks him off to a curiously vibrant subterranean land, but this enchanting world and his new bride's increasingly apparent charms are little comfort to Victor when he'd rather be married to his living, breathing fiancée Victoria (Emily Watson) above ground.
There's a strong resemblance here to Burton's previous foray into feature animation, The Nightmare before Christmas, but this time the gothic morbidity is tinged with more sweetness, and the consistently funny and often lyrical script is far better. – Leslie Felperin
20. Little Women
The giddy promise of girlhood and the triumphs and disappointments that follow are captured in a honey glow, accompanied by a vigorous Alexandre Desplat score that explodes with joy and sorrow. While keeping largely faithful to the text, Gerwig tweaks the structure and draws out the girls' strengths, freshening it up with some fluid camerawork and outbreaks of uninhibited laughter.
