Our animation picks
Finding Nemo
An anxious clownfish dad crosses the ocean to find his son, helped by a very forgetful friend. Funny, beautiful and moving.
Inside Out
Joy, Sadness and the other feelings inside an 11-year-old's head scramble as she moves house. A great way to start chats about emotions.
Coco
A music-loving boy crosses into the Land of the Dead to uncover his family's secret. Colourful, musical and a real tear-jerker.
The Wild Robot
A robot shipwrecked on a wild island learns to survive and ends up raising an orphaned gosling. Gorgeous to look at and full of heart.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Teenager Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man and meets Spider-heroes from other universes. Bold comic-book style, best for over-eights.
