Say it with me: "Ogres are like onions."Credit: Dreamworks animationA meme-worthy masterpiece still celebrated 20 years after its release, Shrek is one of the most iconic kids movies of all time. It perfectly balances its fairy tale characters and gross-out gags with a sweet story about loving yourself and never judging a book by its cover. Everyone's favorite grouchy green ogre Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) reluctantly goes on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona (voiced by Cameron Diaz). Along the way, he encounters trusty sidekick Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy), fights a dragon, and monologues about onions. The shenanigans reach new heights in Shrek 2, also on Hulu. It's worth the watch for the "Holding Out for a Hero" sequence alone. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Fellow

There can be no debate over the best sports movie of the '90s — nay, of history. Space Jamstars Michael Jordan as himself, a retired basketball player and underwhelming baseball player who gets caught in an all-star game for the ages. The cartoon Monstars, a group of aliens from Moron Mountain, have stolen the basketball talent of prolific NBA players, and it's up to Jordan and the Looney Tunes to beat them in a game and set things right. With signature Looney Tune one-liners, high-stakes athletic competition with a lot of heart, and a surprising amount of Bill Murray, Space Jamstill scores big. — Proma Khosla, Entertainment Reporter

In the vein of Shrek, Ice Age tells the story of a reluctant hero undertaking a journey to do good. The Shrek figure here is Manny (voiced by Ray Romano), a wooly mammoth who, along with talkative sloth Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo), is trying to reunite a human baby with his tribe. They're joined by saber-toothed tiger Diego (voiced by Denis Leary), who is harboring a darker ulterior motive. While the early 2000s animation hasn't aged super gracefully, the emotional core of the movie still holds up. This is a sweet road trip comedy — without actual roads; it isthe Ice Age, after all — with tons of humor and a heartwarming found family. Plus, kids are sure to get a kick out of Scrat (voiced by Chris Wedge) and his never-ending struggle to reach his precious acorn. — B.E.

Few children's movie tropes are as tried and true as an unlikely friendship between humans and animals, and few children's movies nail that trope as hard as Free Willy. A classic coming-of-age story, Free Willy follows Jesse (Jason James Richter), a troubled orphan who winds up working at an amusement park as punishment for vandalism. There, he befriends the park's new orca, Willy. When he realizes that the park's owner plans to harm Willy, Jesse works to help his friend escape. The bond between Willy and Jesse is about as heartwarming as you can get, and Willy's triumphant jump over the rocks is a pure distillation of family-friendly joy. Free Willy may be over 20 years old, but it's still one for the ages. — B.E.

Good grief.Credit: FilmPublicityArchive/United Archives via getty imagesA Boy Named Charlie Brown was the first full-length film based on Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip, and it manages to effectively capture Peanuts' charm and complexity. Though the movie revolves around Charlie Brown (voiced by Peter Robbins) trying to win a spelling bee and prove he isn't a failure, it feels more like a slice-of-life film thanks to the inclusion of several vignettes from the children's daily lives. Beautifully animated and featuring an excellent score, A Boy Named Charlie Brown captures the whimsies and frustrations of childhood, all while delivering an important message about failure and continuing to push ahead when things go wrong. — B.E.
