When picking a family film, you’ll need to take into account the influence your choice might have on your kids. This can mean a lot more than just barring R-rated flicks. If gender parity is important to you, try applying the Bechdel Test, a series of questions established in the 1980s for weeding out films with fair representations of women from, well, most other films. Ask yourself: (1) Does this movie have more than one woman in it? (2) Do they talk to each other? (3) Is their conversation about something other than a guy?
