5 Childhood Movies You Didn't Know Were on Netflix

Getting older and dealing with all of the responsibilities that come along with growing up is a bittersweet, inevitable process. We go from apple slices and homework in the afternoons to long days spent in the office or even going to a second job at night. After a tiring day of adulting, many of us come home in search of the ultimate relaxation time. Turning to Netflix for a movie that brings you back to your childhood is one of the best ways to temporarily forget about responsibilities and have fun with the stories and characters you've forgotten to appreciate in a while.

"Holes"

You probably watched this dozens of times back in the day, and maybe even read the book too, but totally forgot it existed until now. Catch up with Stanley Yelnats as he deals with his family's curse of bad luck, digs holes amongst new friends and enemies, and discovers exactly what they are searching for at the bottom of dried up Camp Green Lake.

"The Cheetah Girls"

Before Beyonce empowered generations with her anthems about girl power, we learned about it from none other than this cheetahlicious girl group. Netflix has all three "Cheetah Girls" movies, so you can relive their entire journey starting from a school talent show and ending with an international record deal.

"Lilo & Stitch"

Alien landings, Hawaii surfing, sister bonds, and an unlikely but strong friendship between a lonely young girl and an alien feeling the same way. Also the movie that inspired us to talk in some really weird voices for a while in some pretty lame attempts to sound like Stitch.

"Cadet Kelly"

The movie that made army pants the hottest style. Free spirited Kelly is sent to a military school and tries to get along while maintaining her individuality-- every preteens' nightmare. Who doesn't miss the days of Hillary Duff ruling Disney Channel?

"Charlotte's Web"

The sweetness of this story-line and the adorable piglet star nearly excuse the fact that the story is centered on a spider, something we'd run away from in real life both back when the movie came out and still today.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

Few moments are as exciting as when Charlie finds the golden ticket, and few places are as intriguing as Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Just remember with this one to forgo the popcorn and keep a chocolate bar near by!

Watching kids movies is one of the best ways to unwind from the daily pressures of being an adult. Thankfully, Netflix is always adding more to this genre, and we currently have these six and many more to choose from!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
