The Top Family-Friendly Movies to Stream on Comwave TV

Jul 20 2023

These days, quality time with loved ones can be difficult to get. But for families with quickly growing kids, these are precious moments you don’t want to miss. One of the most sacred, time-tested ways to spend quality time with family is movie night.

Whether it’s the latest release or a classic, animated fairy tale or adventure, you can’t go wrong with a movie that everyone loves and will always remember.

So, what are you watching tonight? Clearly, you won’t run out of movies to choose from. But, just keep in mind that not every movie is appropriate for all ages, so make sure to pick one that’s family-friendly and has all the elements of a movie night to remember: iconic, relatable characters, an exciting setting, and a story that’s equal parts heartwarming, inspiring, and delightful, with lessons to learn and moments of levity.

Check out our top picks of family-friendly movies that you can catch on various ComwaveTV channels or stream hassle-free with the best, cheapest internet from Comwave.

Top Movies for Families on ComwaveTV

Are you all set for movie night? While it’s impossible to list all the movies that are sure to be a hit with the entire family, here are some all-time favourites to get started. From fantasy and adventure to animated classics and real-life settings, let’s quickly recap some of the movies you likely grew up with and new releases for all ages.

        1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

The first movie in the Harry Potter series, Sorcerer’s Stone always holds a special place in the hearts of Potterheads everywhere. If you grew up during the Harry Potter days, you can now share this memory with your young ones. Take the entire family to journey with 11 year-old Harry as he discovers his magical abilities and gets carted off to Hogwarts. This movie is perfect for kids at the same age as our hero (and even older), but it may be best to wait until they’re at the right age to watch the later movies in the series which deal with darker themes.

        2. E.T.

A classic movie that quite literally is from out of this world, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is a heartwarming story of friendship, acceptance, and adventure. By the time E.T. goes home, the kids—and even parents like you—may shed a few tears, while also feeling hopeful. Of course, E.T. does have some heartstopping moments (cue that infamous death and revival storyline), so it’s best to watch this Steven Spielberg cinematic masterpiece with older kids.

        3. Star Wars

If there’s one franchise that’s rightfully embedded in the cultural consciousness of generations as early as the 70s, it’s Star Wars. You likely grew up watching the films and even digging deeper into the Star Wars universe with its many spin-off shows and books, as well as the recent sequel trilogy. But to introduce this iconic series to your kids, it’s best to go back to the very first movie where we first meet the jedi and learn about the light and dark sides. From lightsaber duels to space travels and stories of friendship and found family, start your family’s journey to a galaxy far, far away.

        4. Finding Nemo

In the mood for some father-and-son bonding? One of Pixar’s best works, Finding Nemo, explores the deep ties that bind family, told through the lives of fish. In the movie, Nemo’s dad, Martin, sets out on an adventure after Nemo disobeys him and is captured to be kept in an aquarium. Martin’s journey against all odds to bring his son home is a testament to a parent’s love for their child, making it one of the best ways to show your kid why you know best when it comes to safety; but more importantly, that you’ll always be there for them when they get in trouble.

        5. The Lion King

Perhaps one of the greatest films ever made, The Lion King is a story of growing up, finding your place in the world, and making friends that help you along the way. In the movie, we meet Simba, who witnesses his dad’s death at the hands (paws) of Uncle Scar, and loses his rightful place as heir of the Pride Lands. What follows is a journey of healing from grief and Simba honouring his father’s life by returning home and righting wrongs. Pro tip: watch the original animated version for the perfect blend of nostalgia and incredible 2D animation.

        6. Howl’s Moving Castle

Another animated goodie, Howl’s Moving Castle, tells the story of Sophie who, after spending a rather uneventful life at her late father’s hat shop, meets Howl, a wizard who inhabits a magical flying castle. In the midst of Sophie’s new adventures, the Witch of Waste casts a spell on her that makes her age prematurely. What follows is a powerful story of friendship where Howl sets out to battle the Witch and restore Sophie’s appearance and life.

        7. Coco

In this vibrant celebration of Mexican culture, our protagonist, music-loving Miguel finds himself in the land of the dead. Throughout the movie, we journey with Miguel as he tries to find a way home before he joins the other characters who are—surprise—dead. On this journey with him is his idol, Ernersto de la Cruz and loveable con-man Héctor, and together they embark on an adventure filled with life, colour, and music.

        8. Toy Story

This iconic series asks the question, “what would happen if toys could come to life and have adventures of their own?”. Starting off in their owner Andy’s room, toys like Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and their rag-tag group of fellow toys come alive every night, find themselves in all sorts of misadventures, and fight against those that want to destroy them. And with the series taking place over the course of Andy’s childhood, there’s nothing quite like the magic of the first film where friendships are first formed.

        9. Frozen

Journey to the wintry kingdom of Arendelle and meet two sisters, princesses Anna and Elsa, once close until a life-threatening accident after one of their merry adventures in the palace. Years later, after the death of their parents, Anna and Elsa are forced to confront the reason they stopped being close and rediscover their deep love for each other. Over the course of the movie—and bops like Let it Go—we see Elsa turn her ability to turn ice from what she perceives to be a curse into a unique gift and repair her relationship with Anna.

        10. The Sound of Music

We’ve saved one of the best films ever made for last. Since its release in 1965, The Sound of Music has certainly stood the test of time. In her breakout role, the Julie Andrews becomes a governess to the von Trapp family, endearing herself to every child and Captain von Trapp himself through, you guessed it, the power of music. While the movie deals with more mature themes, such as the family’s escape from Nazi rule, it’s a wonderful, heartwarming tale of love, found family, and defying the odds that will certainly stay with the entire family, through generations.
