Movies for kids: A list of good G-rated movies on Netflix

It’s not easy to find G-rated movies these days as the rating seems to be on its way out. But sometimes, parents looking for content to show their children prefer the safety provided by the G rating since it all but guarantees there won’t be anything inappropriate in the film. In contrast, PG films can sometimes push the boundaries.

The good news is that there are G-rated Netflix movies, but most are not Netflix Originals, meaning they could leave the platform anytime. Luckily for you, we’ve curated a list of some of the best G-rated Netflix movies currently available, so you can bookmark this page and check back for updates on the latest additions to the service!

It should also be noted that some of the films on this list are technically made-for-TV movies, so they have a different rating system than movies. On television, TV-G is actually more akin to a PG film rating. TV-Y is the rating you want to check for on television, or even TV-Y7 since that means the show is for children, or, in the case of TV-Y7, appropriate for kids 7 and up.

Best G-rated movies on Netflix

When it comes to the best G-rated Netflix movies, you can’t go wrong with films like Chicken Run or The Land Before Time. Now is a great time to revisit Chicken Run as Netflix is releasing a sequel to the movie later this year titled Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.

And while The Land Before Time might be a tearjerker, it’s also considered a classic as it tells the story of a young dinosaur named Littlefoot who is displaced by an earthquake and ushered into a journey where he makes new friends and family.

Fans of Wallace and Gromit and the makers of Chicken Run will also want to check out the goofy, feel-good movie A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, which follows Shaun and his flock as they try to help an adorable alien after her UFO lands near the Mossy Bottom Farm.

Here’s a list of great G-rated Netflix movies you can watch right now:

• Chicken Run
• The Tale of Desperaux
• The Land Before Time
• The Boy Who Cried Werewolf
• Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
• A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon
