Spring break is here and while my family likes to spend plenty of time outside now that the snow is gone, we also appreciate a little down time watching family friendly movies and shows on Netflix. It’s a nice way to unwind and it’s something we rarely get to do during the school year because of our crazy schedules.

As you scroll through Netflix’s Children and Family section, you may get overwhelmed at the choices. Fear not – I’ve rounded up the most recent picks that both you and your kids will enjoy. From anime to recent releases, the whole family will laugh, cry, and enjoy these films that are available to stream now.

Ultraman

Adapted from a Japanese anime, the series focuses on how Young Shinjiro takes on his father’s ultra suit and gives his best to secure our planet from alien threats. The incredible fight scenes mixed with the fun moments of Shinjiro will definitely be enjoyed by tweens and teens who are looking for some alternatives to Marvel and DC films. Rated: Unavailable.

Spy Kids

Juni and Carmen(brother and sister) must become spies themselves in order to save their secret-agent parents. Armed with high-tech gadgets, they fly through the air, dive under the seas and cross the globe to take down a villain. Rated: PG.
