Watch the trailers for upcoming movies for kids and families

Maybe you'll take the kids to the movie theater (and referee the argument over the giant tub of popcorn). Or perhaps you'll snuggle up with them on the couch (and angle your way into getting the blanket to cover your feet instead of theirs). Either way, there will be new movies for families to watch in the coming months.
