Movie Recommendations from MSS Parents

Are you looking for a recommendation for a family movie night? We asked members of Mustard Seed School’s S.T.A.R.S parent support network to share their favorite movies. And they’re not all what you might think! Remember “Willow” from the 90’s? I had completely forgotten about that movie!

We’ve listed movies here by the age recommendations found on Common Sense Media. I find that some of the ages tend to be a bit hit or miss. For example, my kids loved Shaun the Sheep when they were in preschool and Common Sense has it listed as a 5+ movie. Go by your comfort level! Common Sense Media has more information about their age recommendations, including educational value, positive messages, role models, violence/scariness, consumerism,  language, and more.

With thanks to Cathy Williams, Laurie Heins, Chris Gasca, Jason Stahl, BJ Carter, and Liliana Lopez!

Enjoy!
