The Twits
The latest story from Roald Dahl to receive the screen treatment, The Twits is about two nasty pieces of work who meet their match in a pair of brave orphans and their magical animals. The original book is filled with vivid descriptions and illustrations—Mr. Twit’s beard “grew in spikes that stuck out straight like the bristles of a nail brush”—here’s hoping the animation is just as visceral.
Starring: Emilia Clarke, Natalie Portman, Margo Martindale, and Johnny Vegas.
Rated: PG
Platform: Netflix
Release date: 2025
Happy Gilmore 2
Happy returns to the green after nearly 30 years and from the looks of the teaser, he and his golfing nemesis, Shooter McGavin, still have beef. With plot details still under wraps, we can make out that chapter two of Adam Sandler’s zany sports saga includes antics and crude humor similar to its predecessor, tons of fun cameos (Travis Kelce, Eminem), and more romance with Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen).
Starring: Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, Christopher McDonald, Benny Safdie, Nick Swardson, Margaret Qualley, Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi), Eminem, Jack Nicklaus, Jordan Spieth, and Lee Trevino.

The Electric State
The Russo brothers momentarily depart the Marvel Universe for the retro-futuristic hellscape overrun with rebellious robots in this sci-fi thriller with heart.

The Sea Beast 2
One of the best movies to hit the streaming platform in 2022, The Sea Beast unfortunately didn’t reach nearly the audience it should have. The swashbuckling adventure is actually an incredibly thoughtful and layered tale about a little girl who stows away on a ship to learn the truth about the titular misunderstood aquatic creatures. The plot remains a mystery for the sequel, but the world is Maisie’s oyster and we can’t wait for her to open it again.
Starring: TBD
Rated: PG
Platform: Netflix
Release date: 2025
New Kids’ Movies Possibly Streaming on Netflix in 2025
Leo 2
Netflix’s long-term, multi-picture deal with Adam Sandler has proved to be a winning handshake between the two, thanks in part to surprise hits like this animated gem from 2023 about an aging classroom lizard who saves his pupil pals from a wretched substitute teacher. Streaming fans loved the film so much that Netflix’s boss man, Ted Sarandos, all but confirmed a sequel. Rumor has it that the follow-up will premiere sometime this year.
Starring: Adam Sandler, with more to come.
Rated: PG
Platform: Netflix
Release date: 2025
Enola Holmes 3
2025 is shaping up to be another banner year for Millie Bobby Brown. With The Electric State and the fifth and final season of Stranger Things hitting Netflix this year, plus the bookend to the Enola Holmes trilogy possibly releasing this year, the woman is unstoppable. In the first two Enola films, Brown finds her bearings as Sherlock’s sister and a sleuth in her own right. We imagine the third film will see her coming into her own even more.
Starring: Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and Helena Bonham Carter.
Rated: PG-13
Platform: Netflix
Release date: 2025
Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun
A tale about a 12-year-old British-Nigerian girl who discovers she has supernatural powers and then comes of age as a Solari in Nigeria, Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun has some serious star power behind it. As producers, Will Smith and David Oyelowo have partnered up to bring the “middle-grade superhero duology,” written by Tola Okogwu, to the screen. There isn’t much by way of cast or set release date yet but keep this one on your radar.

A Hundred Acre Christmas Movie
Before we continue, we feel it necessary to tread lightly with Pooh loyalists. As you can see from the artwork, Pooh Bear has received a bit of a makeover. Though jarring at first, it may comfort you to know that Kartoon Studios, Amazon’s new subscription kids network, is planning to release five specials and 104 episodes of a new series starring the honey-loving cutie and his buddies. And it all begins with this holiday tale that will no doubt warm the heart and soul.
