Time to jump straight into the best streaming platforms for family movies all with a free trial to enjoy. For our criteria I will be looking at services that offer movies that are made for kids but with great adult humour hidden within.

Netflix is out of the running as it is no longer offering a free trial and most of us already have it! Though it is still arguably the best all rounder streaming service.
