Finding movies that are both entertaining and age-appropriate for tweens can be a challenge! But don't worry, we've got you covered with some fantastic recommendations that will keep your 9-12 year olds glued to the screen (in a good way!).

First up, consider animated adventures! Think along the lines of Pixar hits like 'Finding Nemo' or 'Toy Story' – classics for a reason. Their heartwarming stories and stunning visuals appeal to a wide age range. For something a bit different, explore Studio Ghibli films like 'Spirited Away' which offer beautiful animation and thought-provoking themes.

Live-action options include family-friendly comedies like 'Paddington' or 'The Muppet Movie'. These offer lighthearted fun and positive messages. For a bit of fantasy and adventure, look into movies based on popular children's books like 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' (though preview for scariness levels) or 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief'.

Remember to check movie ratings and reviews on sites like Common Sense Media to ensure the content is suitable for your child. Happy watching!
