I’ve organized these movies based on age order, according to the age recommendations set by Common Sense Media (which you’ll find listed as “CSM age+” below).
However, at times I’ve found I need to add a couple of years to their suggested age range to find the right age for our kiddos to watch something–so just keep that in mind!
For those movies/shows that CSM had not rated, I’ve included the rating below and estimated based on that the age range. As always, preview to decide what works for your family. Happy viewing!
