The best kids movies on Amazon Prime Video right now

Amazon Prime Video doesn’t have the largest library of family-friendly films, but if you know where to look, you can find a modest collection of movies that are perfect for your young ones. To help you sift through the collection and find the right film for the children (or kids at heart) in your family, we’ve assembled this list of the best kids movies on Amazon Prime Video. We’ve also rounded up the best kids movies on Hulu, the best kids movies on Netflix, and the best kids movies on Disney+ if you don’t find what you’re looking for on Prime Video. Sometimes you want a movie that pushes the envelope — maybe something a little bolder or a little more intense than what you would usually put on for family nights. Whether you’re preparing for a fun night with friends or just looking for something gripping to watch, R-rated movies bring a level of excitement that lighter films don’t usually have. From daring new releases like Anora to all-time greats like Parasite, the best R-rated films streaming right now span many genres, ensuring that there’s something for every type of viewer. These great picks promise unforgettable stories and that kind of edge that only comes with the freedom to go all in. Fresh mysteries are apparently in short supply on Netflix. We’d start a hunt for the killer, but it was probably the Netflix algorithm. There are so few choices that we had to add I Know What You Did Last Summer. It’s not a bad film at all, it’s just not a traditional mystery. Similarly, To Catch a Killer plays better as a thriller than a mystery, but it does have elements of both. In the absence of better choices, these are the two we have to go with. You can find those films and the rest of the best mysteries on Netflix below. When it comes to stand-up comedy specials, the major streamers are trailing well behind the path that Netflix has already set up. Hulu and Amazon Prime Video’s don’t seem to threaten Netflix’s dominance in the category after most of the big names in stand-up from the last few years have already had their Netflix specials.
This month, late night comedy legend Conan O’Brien is the butt of the joke as he’s roasted while accepting The Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. It’s easily the best new addition to Netflix’s stand-up lineup in May, followed by a special featuring Tim Dillon. You can find these specials and all of the rest of the best stand-up comedy on Netflix below.
