Movies With Tweens

In our family, we love movies!  Watching movies as a family is probably one of our favorite things to do!

I have always been a movie buff and so is my husband.   As parents of tweens, we are very careful with the tv, movies and video games our tween views.  There are so many great movies out there for them and also so much garbage for them to view.

Here are a few of our current favorite movies to watch as a family;

*  Disney’s Tangled

*  Despicable Me

*  Where the Red Fern Grows

*  Swiss Family Robinson

*  Remember the Titans

*  Transformers

*  Mary Poppins

*  Night at The Museum

*  Up

*  Madagascar

*  Hook

*  Rudy

*  Veggie Tales

*  Robots

*  Star Wars the Clone Wars / Star Wars

*  Evan Almighty

*  Over the Hedge

*  Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

*  Elf

*  Kung Fu Panda

*  Cars
