Best 2015 Summer Movies for Kids to Watch

The naughty kids, immersing in the excitement of enjoying summer vacation, make you going crazy. Yes or no? I guess mostly parents will say yes. How to make these excited kids sit quietly in the hot summer, even if only for a little while? Maybe only movies can help you. These kids, that don’t allowed to watch too much TV, movies during school day, can freely enjoy the top movies they have missed before. If you want some quiet space, why not add some kids movies to your kids tablet, iPad to make your kids enjoy? Don’t know what movies you can make your kids watch? Ok,, let me introduce the best 2015 summer movies for kids.

1.Inside Out



One of the best things a film can do is make you cry. Inside out can make you cry and laugh. Just like people says, Pixar is at the peak of its heartstring-tugging powers with this poignant, joyful coming-of-age story. This film maps out an 11-year-old girl’s inner turmoil on a unique, fantastical canvas and then tell you the bliss of childhood can’t last forever, but that’s no bad thing. 

2.Shaun the Sheep



In its positive review of the film, the UK Telegraph called the film "charming" and boasted, "There can't be a child in the world who won't adore this." Bozdech said she hasn't yet seen the film, but she expects it will please young children and their parents given the studio's long run of clean fun.

3.Minions



Parents need to know that Minions is the highly anticipated prequel to the Despicable Me franchise, focusing on Gru's beloved yellow sidekicks. Although no children are in peril in this installment of the franchise, the appeal of villains/bad guys is a central theme, and there are several scenes of cartoon violence that are played lightly/for laughs

4.Jurassic World



Since the titular theme park is actually open and filled with visitors, the ensuing body count when the dinos run amok is much higher than in the previous films (including some major supporting characters), and there are many intense scenes of sustained terror, suspense, and peril (including kids in danger).  Mature tweens and teens who are fans of suspense/action (and still fond of dinosaurs) will be thrilled -- just make sure they can handle the truly jump-worthy scares.

5.The Man from U.N.C.L.E.



In the film, spies from the CIA and the KGB team up to stop a section of the criminal underworld from obtaining nuclear weapons. But there are a few red flags parents need to consider, including the film's director, Guy Ritchie, who is known primarily for violent, adult action films like "Snatch" and the Robert Downey Jr. "Sherlock Holmes" reboot films.

There are still many other summer movies for kids but I don’t have enough time to list them here one by one. 

Tricks of the trade

Some of the movies can downloaded from website, but some of them only can come from commercial Blu-ray/DVD disc. If you want to add these movies to some portable devices for your kids, maybe you will need some extra operations. For example, some kids Blu-ray/DVD movies can’t be put into Kids tablet, iPad directly for their copy protection and the lack of Blu-ray/DVD drive of the portable devices. Moreover, if the movie you downloaded from the site is 4k, you still maybe have some trouble because many portable devices still can’t play 4K videos. If you encounter this situation, don’t worry, I will show you the solution in the following.

Convert Blu-ray/DVD/4K summer kid movies with video software

Get a Pavtube DVDAid to solve all the above problems. Pavtube DVDAid can deal with DVD videos. Even though the DVD discs are the latest, it still can rip them.
