If you’re anything like the parents on our staff, you’ve had a lot of kids movies playing in your home the past couple weeks.
While many of us delight in a good Disney movie, sometimes a change of pace is welcomed. Whether you need a good laugh, some comfort and encouragement or just some good old fashioned cheering up, get the kids to bed early so you can snuggle up and enjoy any of these feel-good movies.
While some of these may be suitable for a younger audience, many are not. Hence, adults only.
