What We Like

  • Larger collection than other sites; pulls from other streaming services.

  • Don't have to sign up to watch movies hosted on Yidio.

What We Don't Like

  • A lot of movies listed are not free to watch.

What We Like

  • "Only Free on Tubi" section has movies not found elsewhere.

  • Adjust video quality to suit your internet connection.

What We Don't Like

  • Streaming service not available in every country.

  • The same ads play over and over again.

Tubi has a section for family movies and kids' shows, and even an entirely separate area of the site called Tubi Kids. Although you can't organize the films by rating or popularity, a single, full page of free kids' movies makes it easy to browse.

The Happy Elf, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Igor, The Secret of Nimh, Little Bear Movie, The Amazing Feats of Young Hercules, Eloise: Eloise Goes to School, and Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away are just some of the movies we've seen available at Tubi.

Tubi has free TV shows for kids, too, including Family Game Night, Transformers, Sabrina, Babar, Rescue Heroes, and G.I. Joe.

Sling Freestream

What We Like

  • No user account needed.

  • All the kids titles are on one page.

What We Don't Like

  • Relatively few titles.

  • Movies are mixed with TV shows.

Sling Freestream is a section of the Sling TV service that includes just free movies and TV shows. We like it because you don't need to make an account, so you can jump right in and start watching free stuff immediately.

Compared to other free movie sites, however, this one has an extremely small collection, which is why it's at the bottom of this list. There are three sections the movies are categorized in: Kids' Animation, Tweens, and Tiny Tots

Here are some examples of movies you can watch: Two Buddies and a Badger, The Jungle Bunch, Blinky Bill: The Movie, Princess Emmy, Quackerz, and A Monster In Paris.
