Free movies on YouTube like ‘The Princess Bride’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ are instant kid winners
If your Netflix queue is looking a little stale, you might want to think about the treasure trove of free movies on YouTube for kids (we also happen to love these YouTube channels just for kids). You don’t need a subscription to watch, and even though you’ll have to sit through a few commercials before your movie, don’t let the ads turn you off. These fun, free flicks are well worth your time. If you’re on the hunt for even more classics, scan through the best movies every kid should see before they grow up—and don’t forget some creative movie night snacks!

Hedgehogs
Hedgehogs is a cute movie about Bobby the Hedgehog who needs to join forces with his animal friends to save their home from the threat of humans.
Snow Queen
Before there was Frozen, there was Snow Queen. A more direct take on Hans Cristian Andersen’s iconic tale, a young girl named Greta must battle the evil queen and rescue her friend in this free movie on YouTube for kids.
The Princess Bride
One of the ’80s best cult-favorite films, follow Buttercup along an adventure with wild danger, a magical kingdom and true love.

The Secret of NIMH
A classic ’80s animated film that your older kids will be sure to love!
Best for ages 7 & up.

Pixies

The Reef
A young fish named Pi loses everything and heads to the Reef and his family. There he meets a beautiful fish who is trying to ward off the affections of a bully shark. Will Pi save the day?
Best for ages 4 & up.
White Lion
Older kids will appreciate this gorgeous film about a young African boy who befriends a white lion cub before embarking on an epic adventure. The film uses beautiful real-life nature footage to tell its story. Consequently, expect sad scenes depicting the cruelty that infamous “circle of life” imparts.
Best for ages 10 and up.
Ribbit
This is the story of a frog who doesn’t enjoy water or jumping and wishes he could be like other animals in the rainforest.
Best for ages 6 and up.

Khumba
This South African-made film is about a zebra prince born without all of his stripes who is cast out from the herd. Khumba isn’t quiteThe Lion King, but there are a few similarities, namely the trio of goofy animal outcasts (here it’s a wildebeest and an ostrich) that team up with the misfit zebra and help him learn to love himself—half-stripes and all—before returning to the herd.
Best for kids ages 6 and up.
The Great Bear
To save his little sister, a boy must venture into a forbidden forest and face a great and ancient bear.
Best for ages 4 and up.
Alaska
An adventure film for older kids, Alaska follows the story of two kids who must venture through the wilds of Alaska to find their dad. The scenery is gorgeous, and kids will be inspired to brush up on their survival skills after watching the young duo climb, run and kayak their way through a series of perils.
Best for ages 8 and up.
A Monster in Paris
Raoul and Emile release a monster from a scientist’s greenhouse by accident and begin to track it down. As they do so, they realize it may not be as scary as they once thought.
Best for kids ages 8 and up.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella
Fairy tale-loving tots will want to sing along with this 1965 version of the classic story. With minimalist sets and tons of musical numbers, this Cinderella feels more like watching a stage show than a movie—so don’t go in expecting special effects. But anyone who loves the story of the cinder girl who finds her prince will be all in.
Best for ages 5 and up.
Mee-Shee the Water Giant
When some important machinery belonging to an oil company is lost in Canada, a man and his son have to cancel their trip to Disney to find the missing machinery. But they find an adventure they couldn’t have expected when they discover a legendary sea creature.
Best for ages 7 and up.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
This 1972 adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale is a bit closer to the book than the Disney version, which means it may not be as lighthearted as the animated film. Still, kids who love all things Wonderland will be happy to fall down the rabbit hole.
Best for ages 6 and up.
The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue
After growing into a strong rodent, Timmy sets out on a journey that will challenge him.
Best for ages 8 and up.
