Looking for new family movies to watch? This Billboard Family calendar is a roundup of 2025 kid and family movie releases that should be appropriate for most ages. To help people find picks that the entire family can enjoy together, only rated PG movies — or those that are expected to be rated PG — are included on the list.
Plenty of family films open in 2025. Winter and spring highlights for kids included January’s Paddington in Peru, the third installment of the hit movie series starring the sweet children’s literature character Paddington Bear, and the March release of Disney’s Snow White, the live-action version of Walt Disney Productions’ 1937 animated classic, starring Rachel Zegler.
Summer brought theatrical releases such as June’s Elio, a Pixar original described as a “comedic misadventure” that’s about an 11-year-old alien-and-space fanatic who’s transported to an “interplanetary paradise that is home to intelligent life from galaxies far and wide,” and August’s Freakier Friday, with stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reuniting in a sequel to the 2003 family comedy that had the mother-daughter duo swapping bodies.
Looking ahead to fall 2025 in the kid and family movie space, part two of Universal’s Wicked, titled Wicked: For Good, arrives in theaters in late November — a month that also packs in Disney’s Zootopia 2 and Netflix’s In Your Dreams as the holiday season begins.
Among the most anticipated 2026 animated movie releases are Super Mario World (April 2026) and Toy Story 5 (June 2026). Family movies that do not yet have a release date, but are expected in 2026, include stop-motion dark fantasy Wildwood from Laika, the studio behind 2009’s Coraline; the opening for this film will be updated on the calendar once announced.
