0

I don’t know about your family, but we love summer movies! My daughter is already anxiously awaiting the release of The Secret Lives of Pets and Finding Dory.  Going to the movies is a great date to have with your kids. What beats eating popcorn, drinking an Icee, sitting in an air-conditioned theater and sharing some laughs with mom and/or dad? Sounds like a perfect outing to me!

Summer Movies for the Whole FamilyHere are some summer movies for the whole family to enjoy:

May 27thAlice Through the Looking Glass has Alice returning down the rabbit hole to help get her friend the Mad Hatter out of a funk. Johnny Depp returns as the Mad Hatter along with other cast members Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska.

X-Men: Apocalypse – If your family loves comic book movies, you’ll be excited for the latest in this popular franchise, which pits Poe Dameron against Professor X. Let’s hope the mutants can band together and save the planet.

June 3rdTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows has the turtles battling four new villains in this sequel. This one is rated PG-13 and may be a bit too intense for younger kiddos.

June 17thFinding Dory is the highly anticipated sequel to Finding Nemo. Ellen DeGeneres returns as the forgetful fish who wants to track down her long lost relatives. We hear it has all the feels.
