2015 Family-Friendly Summer TV & Movie Guide

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Acorn Influence. All opinions are mine alone. 




Summer is here! The kids have been out of school for over a week now and I have been busy planning out our days. We have a family vacation coming up, summer camps to attend and lots of lazy, down time. The kids get to pick what to do during this down time and it's usually watching TV or watching a movie at home or at the theater. We will pick out a show or movie and watch it together. We have also made a list of TV shows and movies we want to watch this summer. I try to cover as much of the list as possible over the summer.

TV:
My kids love to watch cartoons and shows on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. Our top favorites are: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teen Titans Go, Lab Rats, Spongebob and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn. We will watch the same episodes on repeat, especially with OnDemand.

On our "Must-Watch TV" list, we have:

One Crazy Cruise on Nickelodeon on June 19th



Kira Kosarin (The Thundermans), Benjamin Flores Jr (The Haunted Hathaways), Sydney Park (Instant Mom), and Rio Mangini (Bella and the Bulldogs) are all stuck together on one crazy cruise!

Teen Beach 2 on Disney Channel on June 26


Amberly and Gian loved the original Teen Beach and are anxiously awaiting this second installment. Adrian, not so much, but he will watch it with us.

Family Rule: We watch TV together. Everyone gets to pick a show and everyone watches it!

The Descendents on Disney Channel on July 31st
This looks like lots of fun. We will make an event out of this one. Invite their friends over, host a move night!!
We love to go to the movies. I share a round-up of movies we want to watch at the beginning of ever year (2015, 2014, 2013) and we watch every movie on those lists. There are lots of fun ones coming out over the summer (June-August) and these are on our list:
Jurassic World - June 12


We took Adrian to see this on Monday. Our "Family TV rule" doesn't work for the movies. We talk to the kids about the movies and take whoever wants to see it. Besides, Gian can't watch a movie like this because of the sensory overload and Amberly could care less about dinosaurs so we took Adrian only. We loved everything about this movie! It was pretty fantastic!
Inside Out - June 19



This is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see what Disney does with emotions!!

Minions - July 10


Obviously with Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 being such hits, the Minions don't need an introduction. They are cute, they make funny noises and kids love them!

Ant-Man - July 17


I wasn't too sure about this movie until I saw a full trailer before Jurassic World and I am hooked. This will be another movie where only Adrian and I go but that's fine. We are BIG Marvel buffs!

Underdogs - August 14

Underdogs was a surprise entry on the summer movie list. I hadn't heard of it before but Amberly had and since Ariana Grande voices one of the characters, she really wants to see it. 


<strong>Underdogs</strong> (2015) Primary Poster.
"The story of a reluctant hero whose town is threatened when his long-time rival returns home to avenge an old grudge. When the players from his foosball table are magically brought to life, he recruits them to help him enter into the biggest underdog match ever, save the town and win back the love of his life."

It's going to be a summer of fun here at our house. I have these three crazies all summer! 

Wish me luck!

What TV shows and/or movies are you and your family looking forward to this summer?
