Look, I'll be straight with you, finding genuinely wholesome movies that don't water down character development is tougher than finding a parking spot at church on Easter Sunday. But GOAT (2026) is the rare animated film that manages to deliver laugh-out-loud moments while sneaking in some seriously solid faith-based principles. After watching it twice (once alone, once with some kids from our community), I'm convinced this is one of those movies every Christian family should

If you've been waiting for a biblically-grounded animated film that actually gets it right, DAVID (2026) is finally here, and it's everything we hoped for. Distributed by Angel Studios and brought to life by directors Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes, this animated musical doesn't just retell a Bible story. It invites us into worship, showing us what it means to be "a man after God's own heart." I'm giving this film a solid 5 out of 5 stars . Yes, it's that good. Why This Fi

Pixar's Inside Out 2 has captured hearts worldwide with its stunning animation and emotionally intelligent storytelling. As someone who loves exploring media through a faith lens, I've been eager to unpack this film's messages about identity, anxiety, and emotional growth, and how they align (or don't align) with biblical truth. Let's dive into what makes this sequel worth watching with your family, and where Christian parents might want to hit pause for some important conve

Look, I get it. You're scrolling through streaming options on family movie night, and your kids are begging for the new Minions flick. Before you hit play, let me give you the rundown on what you're getting into with Minions & Monsters . This isn't your standard "everything's perfect" review, I'm going to tell you the real deal so you can make an informed choice for your family. What's This Thing About, Anyway? Minions & Monsters follows three aspiring Minion filmmakers wh

If you're searching for a Christian film that breaks the mold of preachy, low-budget faith movies, Jesus Revolution deserves your attention. Released in 2023, this dramatization of the 1970s Jesus Movement tells a story many of us grew up hearing whispers about, how a wave of countercultural young people found Jesus during one of America's most turbulent decades. But is it worth your family's movie night? Let's dig into what makes this film stand out and where it falls short

Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2 returns us to the colorful control room of Riley's mind, now navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence. The original film introduced us to five core emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. This sequel welcomes new characters to headquarters: Anxiety, Envy, Ennui (a French word meaning boredom or listlessness), and Embarrassment. The result is a visually stunning exploration of teenage emotional complexity that offers surprising

Pixar has done it again. Just when you think the animation giant has exhausted every creative avenue, they drop Hoppers, a wild, heartfelt story about a teenage girl who literally becomes a robotic beaver to save her community's wildlife. Yeah, you read that right. And somehow, beneath the wacky premise and adorable animal antics, there's a powerful message about stewardship, community, and our God-given responsibility to care for creation.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Stars When an animated film tackles themes of adoption, disability inclusion, and sacrificial love, it's worth paying attention. Buffalo Kids (2026) surprised me with its heartfelt approach to family and faith, even if it comes with a few spiritual speed bumps that Christian parents need to know about. This 77-minute adventure follows siblings Tom and Mary as they journey from New York City to the California frontier in search of a fresh start. Along th

Sometimes the most powerful stories aren't about perfect people doing perfect things. They're about flawed, broken human beings who choose to show up anyway. Ordinary Angels is exactly that kind of story, a faith-based drama that reminds us how one person's determination, fueled by faith, can mobilize an entire community to accomplish the impossible. What the Movie Is About Directed by John Gunn and based on true events, Ordinary Angels follows Sharon (Hilary Swank), a ha

If your kids are anything like the millions around the world, they've spent hours building, mining, and exploring in Minecraft. So when A Minecraft Movie hit theaters, it was practically a family event. But as Christian parents, we want to know more than just whether our kids will enjoy it: we want to know what messages they're absorbing and whether it aligns with the values we're teaching at home. The good news? This blocky adventure offers more than mindless entertainment.

The Hunger Games franchise is returning with Sunrise on the Reaping , and if you've been following the series, you already know these stories don't pull punches when it comes to depicting the horrors of totalitarian control. This upcoming installment digs even deeper into the dark heart of the Capitol's oppression, following a young Haymitch Abernathy through the 50th Hunger Games, the second Quarter Quell that doubled the number of tributes forced into the arena. For Christi

Marvel's next chapter is coming, and with it comes a title that demands attention: Avengers: Doomsday . Scheduled for release in May 2026, this film promises to explore the darkest corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But as Christians watching from the pews and living rooms, we need to ask: what does this story teach us about evil, heroism, and the nature of salvation itself? Let's break down what we know so far and examine how this blockbuster might align, or conflict,

When a movie about a lone astronaut trying to save humanity from extinction drops in 2026, you'd expect explosions, aliens, and maybe a few Marvel-style quips. Project Hail Mary , directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and starring Ryan Gosling, delivers something surprisingly different: a story about hope, human connection, and the kind of self-sacrifice that makes you rethink what it means to live for something bigger than yourself. As Christian viewers, we're always

Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is back on the big screen in 2026, and this latest adaptation has already sparked plenty of conversation. With a star-studded cast and a story that's been captivating (and troubling) readers for nearly two centuries, it's worth asking: what does this tale of love, revenge, and obsession have to say to Christian families today? Let's be real, Wuthering Heights isn't your typical feel-good romance. It's dark, it's twisted, and it forces us to

Christian Safety Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5/5 stars) Recommended for ages 8 and up The new Superman movie just landed, and Christian families are asking the same question: Is this safe for my kids, and what messages will they absorb? After watching James Gunn's fresh take on the Man of Steel, I can tell you this much, it's far more family-friendly than most superhero films, but it comes with some serious conversation starters you'll want to be ready for. Let's break down exactly what

When Zootopia hit theaters, most families saw a charming animated film about a bunny cop and a con-artist fox. But if you looked closer, really closer, you'd find one of the most powerful biblical illustrations about prejudice, justice, and redemption that Disney has ever produced. And honestly? Most Christian families walked right past it. This isn't just another kids' movie. It's a mirror held up to our churches, our communities, and our hearts. Let's unpack what makes this

Let me be honest with you: I used to grab the remote and think, "It's animated: it must be fine for the kids." Then my seven-year-old asked why the hero lied to his parents and got rewarded for it. That moment changed how I approach family movie night. If you're a Christian parent trying to navigate the flood of new releases in 2025, you're probably making some of the same mistakes I did. The good news? Once you know what to look for, choosing faith-affirming films becomes mu

When the lights dim and the opening credits roll, I'm always watching for more than just good special effects. As a parent sitting next to my kids in a theater, I'm silently asking: What is this film teaching them about right and wrong? Where does it point them when the world gets dark? Superman 2025, directed by James Gunn, landed in theaters this year with a question embedded in every frame: Can we still believe in heroes who choose goodness, not because they're told to, b
