Taking a 6 hour drive next month with the kids. Want to load up some movies they haven't seen yet to keep them entertained. Usually we do the main Disney stuff. Any underrated recommendations? Trying to avoid anything too overstimulating so they actually sleep part of the way.
We do Pixar stuff they haven't seen yet on road trips - Turning Red and Luca were huge hits for us. Six hours goes by quick when they're actually engaged instead of asking 'are we there yet' every five minutes.
Pixar movies are golden for road trips. My kids have watched Inside Out about 47 times on long drives and they still laugh at the same parts. Grab Coco and Soul too if they haven't seen those.
Six hours is tough. Honestly mix in some new movies with their favorites because the familiar stuff keeps them calm but they get bored faster. We learned that the hard way on the drive to Yellowstone.
The How to Train Your Dragon series works great because there's three of them back to back. Load up a couple Pixars and maybe something like Encanto if they're older. That's like 9 hours of peace right there.

My oldest is 7 and we learned the hard way that movies alone aren't enough for that long. Mix in some audiobooks or podcasts between films so their brains don't completely fry. Saved us on a similar drive last summer.
