Planning a family road trip this summer? We have a few suggestions—10 actually—for great movies to take along for the kids to watch while they are in the car. Taking full advantage of the technology that the Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid are equipped with, there is no reason long trips to Yellowstone or Disneyland should not be entertaining for the entire family.
10. THE GOOFY MOVIE—
Starting out with a classic that many older kids might find very entertaining, this father and son story follows accident-prone Goofy and his son Max on a cross-country bonding trip, and all the misadventures they encounter along the way.
9. MADAGASCAR 2—
You can’t really go wrong with either Madagascar movies, but you might find this one tickles your funny bone as the formerly captive animals attempt to return to New York, and crash land in Africa where they encounter animals like themselves!
8. COLLEGE ROADTRIP—
This might be a pick more for the parents of teens getting ready to go off to college. Martin Lawrence plays an overbearing father whose antics make parents feel a little less embarrassed, and teens feel a little less anxious about being seen with their comparatively normal parents.
7. THE MUPPET MOVIE—THE ORIGINAL—
An oldie but goody, this family-friendly flick is entertaining for every member of the family! Released more than 35 years ago, Kermit the Frog and the entire Muppet gang travel across the country in hopes of making it big in Hollywood.
6. MINIONS—
Following the lovable henchmen made famous by the Despicable Me movies, this movie follows the minions as they evolve from little yellow organisms to the creatures we know and love. After failed attempts of finding a master in the likes of Napoleon or T. Rex, the minions travel far and wide in the hopes of serving the worst villain on earth.
5. UP—
This Disney must-see about Carl, the neighborhood curmudgeon, and his unexpected travel buddy Russell follows the duo as they make their way on a trip that is so fantastic, you have to see it to believe it. Make sure the car is packed with plenty of tissues; this one is as heart-wrenching as it is humorous.
4. RV—
Starring the late Robin Williams, there is no way you won’t find yourself chuckling as the comedic genius entertains you and your family. Williams plays an overworked dad tired of not being part of his children’s lives. In an attempt to reconnect with the family, he rents an RV. The hijinks that ensues is nothing short of classic Robin Williams and will leave you and your family laughing the whole way through.
3. TANGLED—
You can’t forget about the little princesses out there, that’s why we think Tangled is the perfect movie to include on your next road trip. The bubbly and quirky Rapunzel embarks on the trip of a lifetime as she seeks to find the true meaning the mysterious floating lanterns she sees from her tower window, unexpectedly finding her true self along the way.
2. FINDING NEMO—
Every parent’s greatest nightmare turned into a heartwarming story of a father and son, and a little blue fish named Dory. This movie includes endearing characters and plenty of hilarious misadventures as the little orange fish comes to realize what really matters in life.
