Luckily, there are tons of fun shows coming to Netflix and Disney+ in June. From childhood favorites to brand-new adventure, there is plenty to keep the whole family entertained.

Netflix

June 1: “Hook” (1991) – The impossible has happened: Peter Pan is all grown up. In this fun family adventure, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland to rescue his children from the notorious Captain Hook. Dustin Hoffman and the late Robin Williams turn excellent performances as Captain Hook and Peter Pan, respectively. Rated PG.

June 1: “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” (2014) – Genius dog Mr. Peabody and his adopted human son, Sherman, navigate the challenges of school, growing up and, of course, time travel. Sherman shows a new friend Mr. Peabody’s time travel machine (The Way-back), and they all find themselves having an adventure in ancient Egypt. This family move is rated PG.

June 1: “Rise of the Guardians” (2012) – From the creators of “How to Train Your Dragon,” comes this animated fantasy movie. When an evil spirt threatens Earth, the Immortal Guardians (Jack Frost, Santa Clause, Tooth Fairy, Sandman and the Easter Bunny) team up to protect the world. This action-packed animated movie is rated PG.

June 1: “Spider-Man Trilogy” (“Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2,” “Spider-Man 3”) – Everyone’s favorite web slinger is back. These Spider-Man movies from the early 2000s star Toby Maguire as Spidey. Like most superhero movies, they are rated PG-13 and are best for the tween-and-older crowd.

June 1: “Stuart Little” (2000) and “Stuart Little 2” (2002) – What’s cuter than a talking mouse? How about a talking mouse wearing a tiny suit that drives a little car? Voiced by Michael J.

This animated movie is shot as a mockumentary, a unique point of view not commonly seen in animated movies. Rated PG.

June 1: “The Angry Birds Movie” (2016) – Who thought it would be possible to make an entire movie based on a video game in which players fling birds at stuff? Well, not only is it possible, it’s pretty good! This movie based on the game is charming and full of laughs. Rated PG.

June 5: “Ben 10” (Seasons 1–4) – Ten-year-old Ben Tennyson discovered an alien device during his summer vacation that allows him to transform into 10 different alien species!
