Mark Your Calendars for the Best New Kids' Movies Coming Out in 2022

It's never been a better time to be a family that loves new kids' movies. The proliferation of streaming services like Netflix, Peacock, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV+ and HBO Max means there are plenty of studios out clamoring for new and interesting films to entertain families — and streaming them at home means they're even easier to watch. Or, if you're a family that values the cinematic experience, 2022 looks like it'll be even better than 2021 when it comes to the number of movies hitting theaters. The best kids' movies of 2022, listed here in order of release date, are set to stun you with their animation, thrill you with their grand adventures, make you dance to their original songs and, of course, laugh at all their silly jokes. And we can't wait!

One note: Because the situation around the pandemic is still in flux, movie studios are still apt to change things at the last minute, putting more movies in theaters when COVID numbers are good, and sending them straight to streaming services when they're bad. It's worth it to check your local listings, because release dates and platforms are likely to change up until the last minute. But one thing's for sure: No matter where or how you watch, movie fans are in for a big treat this year. (And don't forget to catch up on the best kids' movies from 2021!)
