As a gamer who grew up on the golden age of cartoons and animated movies, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia looking at this lineup. The holiday season is always special, and it seems Netflix has outdone themselves this year with their family-friendly offerings.
Netflix is recognized for its original content, particularly those that cater to families. In November 2024, the streaming platform has a vast array of new offerings, featuring several beloved family titles such as the upcoming fantasy series Spellbound, a fresh installment of The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, the fourth season of Pokémon Horizons: The Series, and many more.
Explore some fantastic family-friendly films available on Netflix this month, as the festive season approaches. Start with the recently released animated fantasy flick titled “Spellbound“.
Spellbound

Set in the magic world of Lumbria, where a magical spell has been cast over a kingdom, Princess Ellian (Zegler) must break the spell that has turned her parents (Kidman and Bardem) into giant monsters.

2014’s animated film “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” was inspired by characters from the “Peabody’s Improbable History” segments that first appeared in “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.” This movie, produced by DreamWorks Animation, showcases the vocal skills of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann, and Allison Janney.
The movie’s narrative revolves around Mr. Peabody, a genius canine character, and his seven-year-old adopted son, Sherman. Using a time-travel device called the WABAC machine, they embark on thrilling journeys through history. However, when Sherman operates the machine without authorization, it sets off a chain of events that might alter historical facts and potentially impact the future.
