5 Childhood Movies You Didn't Know Were on Netflix

For next time you need a break from adulthood.

5 Childhood Movies You Didn't Know Were on Netflix
Kid Focused

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
