Five movies and series to watch with the children this weekend

Don’t insist, we won’t release Christmas movies right away. For now, we invite you to spread the Halloween spirit with a horror movie designed for children (Monster House), then slowly transition into holiday mode with Mary Poppins Returnswithout forgetting to nourish the young audience’s cinephile with Antoine Doisnel’s first steps in The 400 blows. Between two film clubs we find an ingenious animated series (mystery lane) and an endearing sitcom (put put) to relax the children after school.

“Monster House”: children also have the right to jump

Halloween has already passed, but children who like to be scared will tremble with happiness before this nice animated film directed by Gil Kenan, currently available on Netflix. The “monster house” in question is the opposite of that of DJ, a preteen intrigued by the behavior of the owner of this dilapidated shack, from which he only leaves to terrorize the neighborhood children. The old man is obviously hiding a dark secret, which it will be up to DJ and his friends (a chubby neighbor and a passing girl scout) to discover. Visible from 7 years old, Monster House It is a tender horror film, ideal for a family evening.

Animated film directed by Gil Kenan (EU, 2006, 91 min). On demand on Netflix.

“Mary Poppins Returns”: Emily Blunt takes the torch

Dare we say it, this reboot of the Disney classic is a marvel and this has a lot to do with the aura and talent of Emily Blunt, who takes over from Julie Andrews with delicious mischief. More than a remake, Rob Marshall’s film is a sequel, inspired by the seven books published by author Pamela L. Travers after the success of the first volume, and set during the Great Depression. We meet the Banks family, mired in serious financial difficulties from which they will emerge thanks to the return, through the chimney, of their nanny from hell. The riot of digital special effects will undoubtedly tire adults a little, but will surprise young people (from 7 years old). Only its slightly excessive duration (more than two hours) risks boring the little ones. So save it for the long autumn afternoons!

Film directed by Rob Marshall. With Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw (EU, 2018, 131 min). On demand on Disney+.
