101 Dalmatians
Who can forget the time Cruella De Vil’s henchmen kidnapped a litter of Dalmatians with the intention of turning them into a fur coat? She went on to become one of the most notorious villains in movie history – and it’s safe to say that we still haven’t forgiven her.

From star cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) to space ranger Buzz Lightyear and the brilliant Mr. Potato Head, his wonderful characters have earned a special place in the hearts of families around the world. May the sequels continue for a long time.
A monster is calling

Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory
The Road Dahl classic first hit screens in 1971, and it remains a family favorite to this day. Everything from its quirky confectionery to its orange-skinned, green-haired workforce, the Oompa-Loompas, is downright bonkers…in the best way possible.
Big
If you’re watching this with kids for the first time, expect them to want a giant piano, right away. In fact, you’ll probably want one too. The age-changing classic about a 12-year-old boy whose wish to be ‘big’ came true spawned one of the most memorable scenes in movie history – and more than 30 years after its release, it has certainly stood the test of time.

It’s the perfect family movie to pass on to future generations. It will also remind you that there is no place like home.
The greatest showman
We dare you not to fall in love with the soundtrack. Filled with eye-catching tunes, it’s no surprise that individual projections are popping up all over the place. Hugh Jackman plays entrepreneurial circus owner PT Barnum, who brings a group of shunned misfits out of the shadows, showing them they can celebrate themselves. Empowering and powerful is the greatest show!
Zootropolis
Idris Elba as Chief of the Giant Buffalo Police… need we say more? Zootropolis follows Judy Hopps, a little bunny trying to become the first police detective bunny in a very big world. And the laziness scene…well, don’t get us started. A fun adventure about friendship, adventure and “prey” never to be underestimated.

Johnny English
Rowan Atkinson plays a Mr. Bean-esque secret agent who has the best intentions but very rarely executes them as intended. With a brilliant appearance from Ben Miller as Atkinson’s hapless best friend Boff, this film is slapstick and hilarious, full of chases, gimmicks and silliness. The question is, can Mr English save the day?
