LEGO Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails
A two-episode mini-series on Disney+ in which Hawkeye leads a ragtag squad of heroes against a social-media-obsessed villain and her army of magic cats, all rendered in cheerful LEGO style. The tone is silly and fast-paced, with comic-book action that stays bloodless and a running theme about valuing doing the right thing over chasing online fame.
A great pick for Marvel-curious kids around 5 and up who enjoy LEGO humor and superhero silliness; younger fans of the LEGO movie style will find it accessible, and older kids will catch plenty of Marvel easter eggs.
Episodes to know about
The Avengers are taken over by the villain's magic early in episode one, leaving Hawkeye scrambling; younger kids who find heroes being helpless distressing may want a heads-up.
Multiple hero-versus-villain fight sequences appear throughout; all combat is LEGO slapstick with comic-book gadgets and no realistic weapons or injuries.
Meryet activates ancient Egyptian mystical powers in a visually dramatic sequence; the presentation is more spectacular than frightening, but it is the most intense-looking moment in the series.
