The Land of Sometimes

Movie · 2025

This warmly British animated musical arrived in UK cinemas in March 2026 and on US streaming shortly after, so families stateside can now watch it at home. It earns a U certificate in the UK with notes for very mild threat, rude humour, and upsetting scenes, and Common Sense Media places it at age 5+.

A great pick for ages 5 and up, especially kids who enjoy fantastical worlds, singalong songs, and sibling adventures.
