Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

If you enjoy the first Madagascar movie, then surely you will enjoy the sequel. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, the story continues the adventures of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo.  Expect this animal party to have some hilarious jokes for you and your family.

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki Kun ( Season 1)

If you enjoy manga, art, and romance then this show is for you. A girl falls in love with a guy, who happens to be a famous artist. Will this romance inspire him to create new work, or will it be another typical shojo manga? Find out.

Song of the Sea

Song of the Sea is a beautifully drawn film by Cartoon Saloon. Nominated for an Academy Award, this movie tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse, who embark on a fantastic journey. Magic may or may not be included 😉

Arctic Dogs

This computer-animated film can be cliched and predictable but the ensemble casts put a lot of work into this movie. The story follows an arctic fox who works in a mailroom of a package delivery service who wants to be doing deliveries. Even though it didn’t do well at the box office, your kids may enjoy this movie.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (Season 1 – 3)

I repeat, this is not the M. Night Shyamalan movie. This animated show is probably one of the best Nickelodeon shows, I have seen. Netflix viewers will be able to see all four elements in action and a group of brave and adventurous heroes and villains, ready to fight.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Season 5)

The season finale is finally here! Noelle Stevenson reboots this series from the 1980s. If you like girl power and good overcoming evil then you will enjoy this epic animated series.

Based on a manga, this anime follows a boy who has been cursed.  He must kill the sorcerer responsible. If you enjoy fantasy, action, and a little dark story-telling then, this show might be for you.

Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series (Season 2)

A spinoff of the Trailer Park Boys, this Canadian animated mockumentary series focuses on the misadventures of a group of trailer park residents.
