For many parents, screen time provides a valuable break from parenthood – and that’s also true for celebrity moms and dads. Whether it’s educational shows, classic cartoons, or the latest Disney movies, we all crave some time to ourselves while Nanny TV takes on the role of activity coordinator. And in case you’re wondering, celebrities are just as susceptible to Disney’s earworm (there’s no escaping that!).

Not only that, but movie night can also be a great bonding experience for families – a chance to spend time with your little ones, learn about what they love, and connect with them.

Looking for new programs to add to your rotation? Here are the cartoons and movies that celebrities swear by (and, in some cases, come up with as cautionary tales. We’re looking at you, Cocomelon).
