Last year, we saw some terrific family movies, some of which even made our Top 10 list for families. This year there are all sorts of sequels and remakes that could either be really good, really bad or somewhere in the middle. Of course, when they come out, you can check back at Movieguide®, and we’ll let you know if they’re actually family-friendly, but in the meantime, here are eight movies geared for families releasing this year that you should know about.
