As adults, we know that there's absolutely nothing worse than sitting in front of Netflix to find a movie, only to turn on a Friends episode we've seen 40 times when nothing jumps out. As a parent, it's even more frustrating to swipe through a million movies with your kids, only to end up watching the same one you watched twice already that day. Switch it up by adding some of the best family movies available on the streaming service to your kids' queues — that way, there's always something new for them to watch, but you don't have to scroll through the entire database in the process.

Ahead, some of our absolute favourite family movies streaming on Netflix — including some classic Disney flicks — that we actually don't mind watching on repeat with our kids!
