8 Animated Movies Every Family Should Own
1. The Incredibles
Everyone loves superheroes, so you can't go wrong with The Incredibles. The Incredibles is the story of a family of superheroes who have to fight to regain control of the world from evil supervillains.

This movie has some great features like Jack-Jack's power montage, which teaches you not to underestimate little kids!
2. Up
Up is a Pixar movie that follows an old man named Carl who takes his house on a journey through the jungle in South America after he realizes his wife has passed away and his life has no meaning. He meets a little boy named Ellie and they form an unlikely friendship--one filled with hilarity and adventure! This movie is perfect for any family that likes movies that make them feel good inside!
3. Toy Story 3
Toy Story 3 is one of those rare sequels that tops its predecessor: Toy Story 2. In this film, Andy's favorite toys Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and Bullseye are accidentally donated to daycare as he prepares to leave for college - forcing them all to band together against tough odds in order to get home! Whether your family watched these films when they first came out or never saw them before, you'll be wiping tears from your eyes by the time the credits roll on this one!
4. Aladdin: Aladdin is about a street-savvy genie who falls for the kindhearted Princess Jasmine. The movie has beautiful imagery and a catchy soundtrack.
5. Beauty and the Beast: This 1991 animated film is based on Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s 1756 fairy tale. A far-gone beast kidnaps Belle in his castle after she’s lost her father as they were traveling through the enchanted forest. Watching this movie again reminds us of why it’s so loved by so many people!
6. Lion King: The Lion King features Simba, who becomes king after his father is killed by Scar. It’s no wonder why this movie still remains popular to this day!
7. Pocahontas: Pocahontas is about an American Indian princess who falls in love with an English colonist named John Smith when she saves his life from her father's executioner. It's an amazing story that teaches kids important lessons while also being entertaining!
8. A Bug's Life: This animated film is a little older and not many people might remember but it was amazing! It tells the story about a bug who likes to invent things and how he ends up leading an army of ants against the grasshoppers that take their food! It was funny, had its moments that made you wonder, but also had a great message to give! Worth a watch (or re-watch if you've already seen it!)
