This Collider feature rounds up eight of the most enjoyable family films, chosen for their ability to entertain both children and adults at once. The piece argues that great family cinema must strike a delicate balance: lively and inventive enough to hold adult attention without becoming too dense or dull for younger viewers, a line these eight films are said to walk successfully.

Among the titles highlighted are three well-known classics: The Goonies (1985), an adventure comedy following a group of children hunting for pirate treasure to save their homes from foreclosure; Toy Story (1995), Pixar's original buddy comedy about rival toys Woody and Buzz Lightyear learning to cooperate; and The Lego Batman Movie (2017), praised as one of the best Batman films and the highest-rated DC production on Rotten Tomatoes after The Dark Knight, featuring Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis and Ralph Fiennes.
