The 5 Best Kids' Shows and Movies RN (None of Them Star Ms. Rachel or Bluey)

Each month, I release a round-up of the best shows to watch (and sometimes the list causes a bit of debate). But why should adults be the only ones getting in on the quality content? There are plenty of kids' shows and movies streaming and in theaters right now that are must-see options (and, OK, yes, they're fun for the parents too). And this past month was chock-full of top options for kids, from the animated hit movie GOAT to a new season of The Artful Dodger.

Here, the five best kids' movies and shows (and, thankfully, none of them star Ms. Rachel or Bluey).

• Rating: PG
• Runtime: 100 minutes

A tiny goat tries to make it in the big leagues of professional "roarball," but runs into teammates who don't think he has what it takes. Leave it to this underdog to prove them wrong in an animated film that is truly star-studded. I'm talking Steph Curry, Jelly Roll, Gabrielle Union, David Harbour, Nicola Coughlin, Jenifer Lewis, Jennifer Hudson and more. Kids age 6 and up will likely enjoy the movie, with pre-teens (and their parents) probably loving it most.

• Rating: TV-PG
• Runtime: 32 minutes

February not only gave adults Sabrina Carpenter's amazing Grammys performance, but it delivered a family-friendly Sabrina appearance as well. The brand-new Muppet special features Kermit, Miss Piggy and the iconic singer. Parents and non-parents raved about the new Muppet installment, with fans calling for the official return of The Muppet Show. This 32-minute laugh-fest is generally considered appropriate for ages 8 and up, though younger kids are still likely to enjoy the playful humor and antics.

• Rating: TV-Y
• Number of seasons: 7

Another must-see option for the kids? The Creature Cases on Netflix, and the seventh season or "chapter" just arrived. According to PureWow's VP of Editorial Content (and mom of two) Candace Davison, "The animated series follows two animal detectives and hits all the right 'accidentally educational' notes—kids, particularly around ages 4 to 7, really get into the storyline and wind up learning facts about animals along the way. (And if they didn't, there's a 'Fact File' recap at the end of the episode that quickly sums things up...without making kids feel like they're being taught)."

• Rating: G
• Runtime: 98 minutes

Gabby heads to the real world in this fun, adventure-filled film. Though the G-rated movie first hit theaters back in September, it's now currently streaming on Peacock—and it's a great option for kids age 5 and up. Per Davison, "It's charming, it's wholesome and it's got a whole lot of Kristen Wiig to keep parents entertained." But Wiig isn't the only famous face, with musical icon Gloria Estefan starring in it as well.

• Rating: TV-14
• Number of seasons: 2

But the super young kids aren't the only ones who have great content streaming right now. He's supposed to be a reformed thief, but he keeps getting dragged back into the world of heists. He's the Artful Dodger, of course. The Disney+ show features forbidden romance, murder mystery and a new inspector out to hunt the Dodger. With darker themes and some violence, The Artful Dodger is best saved for kids over 14.
