Another Thanksgiving on the books. After you're full of turkey and cranberry sauce, relaxing with the family to stream a Netflix selection sounds like the ideal Thanksgiving evening in 2014. Here are nine family-friendly options that are at your fingertips.
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Road Rally
Beloved Disney icons Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy go on a racing adventure in this 48-minute selection, which would be perfect for that in-between time right before Thanksgiving dinner is on the table.
Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales
Unfortunately for Pixar fans, "Cars" isn't available for instant stream, but you can get your fill of tow truck Mater's backwoods witticisms in this half-hour anthology of his tall tales.
Previously a Michael Caine vehicle from the 1960s, "The Italian Job" is a stylish remake featuring the likes of Mark Wahlberg and Jason Statham. Spoiler alert: Mini Coopers play a key role in this comedy heist caper since the small cars can be driven on sidewalks for a clean getaway.
It might make you feel a little guilty about the bird you just ate or are about to eat, but this animation comedy voiced by some famous names should be fun for the kids.
Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson and Amy Poehler lent their voices for this film about two turkeys who travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving.
How can you go wrong with a movie that received its PG-13 rating for "macabre humor"? If Halloween is more your style of holiday, check out this 1993 comedy starring Angelica Huston, Joan Cusack and Christina Ricci. Based on the sitcom from the 1960s, this film portrays the Addams family characters trying to stop their uncle from marrying a possible gold-digger.
So it's not Thanksgiving-related, but kids and parents alike are guaranteed to love this movie based on the Louis Sachar novel. With Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight and a young Shia LaBeouf, "Holes" is in turn funny, wry and poignant and stands as a childhood classic.
A dystopian world where children are put into an arena to fight to the death each year? Not exactly traditional holiday fare, but the "Catching Fire" release was last year's movie event of the season.
Whether you're a midnight premiere-type fan who can't get enough of the Panem universe or just someone looking for a film that will interest older kids and adults, "Catching Fire" is a solid take on the second book in Suzanne Collins' popular "Hunger Games" trilogy. Besides Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, look for a tough, nuanced performance from Jena Malone as the ill-fated tribute Johanna Mason.
You knew this was coming. The Christmas season traditionally kicks off right after Thanksgiving, so why not get started now with this Bing Crosby holiday classic?
If singing and dancing don't get you in the Christmas spirit, try this 1988 Bill Murray comedy offering a modern take on Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Playing an unhappy, selfish television executive, Murray is haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
