For most Americans, February is a shoulder month – stuck in the middle of winter’s gray chill and the first hints of spring.

The days are slowly getting longer. A hint of warmth is in the air. And yet, more often than not, we’re still reaching for jackets – if not coats – as we long for the days of wildflowers and backyard ballgames.

Thankfully, the major streaming platforms have plenty to offer this month – from uplifting dramas, to hilarious comedies, to Bible-based projects.

Here are seven family-friendly movies streaming this month:

<strong>The Muppet Show</strong> (Disney Plus)

The Muppet Show (Disney Plus)

The legendary variety series returns for a special modern revival, with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the beloved Muppets ensemble reuniting for fresh sketches and musical numbers alongside guest stars Maya Rudolph, Sabrina Carpenter, and Seth Rogen. Of course, the original Muppet Show ran from 1976 to 1981 at the height of the Muppets’ popularity. This newest rendition – I’m happy to report – still has the same family-friendly charm. Rated TV-G.

Night at the Museum trilogy (Netflix)

A newly hired security guard discovers that the exhibits at New York’s Museum of Natural History magically come to life after dark. All three movies from this fun and educational franchise landed on Netflix’s platform in February: Night at the Museum (2006), Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014). They are rated PG for mild action and language, although Clearplay offers filters.

David (Angel)

A shepherd boy grows up to slay a giant and to become king. This 2025 musical retells the story of the biblical King David in the spirit of 1998’s The Prince of Egypt – complete with soaring originals, a smart script, and a few big names in the voice cast. Christian singer Phil Wickham portrays adult David, while veteran voice actor Brian Stivale plays the prophet Samuel. It’s the best animated Bible film since The Prince of Egypt – and it stays closer to the biblical account than that classic. Rated PG for action/violence and some scary images.

<strong>How to Train Your Dragon</strong>, 2025<strong>&nbsp;</strong>(Netflix)

How to Train Your Dragon, 2025 (Netflix)

A young Viking doubted by everyone in his village befriends a dragon, challenging his people’s ancient beliefs and changing the course of history. This live-action adaptation preserves everything that made the 2010 original popular while adding a few ingredients the first film lacked, including a deeper exploration of the Vikings’ history and culture. Rated PG for sequences of intense action, and peril. Clearplay and VidAngel offer filters.

Sarah’s Oil (Wonder Project)

An 11-year-old girl confronts racism and greed after oil is discovered beneath her land. This gripping Kingdom Story Company drama tells the true story of Sarah Rector, who became one of the nation’s first black millionaires in the early 1900s when speculators struck oil on her 160-acre allotment. Her ownership of the property stemmed from a unique chapter in American history: As a descendant of Creek Freedmen, she was granted the land through a federal allotment program – a decision that would change her life. Rated PG for thematic content, some violence, language including racial slurs, a suggestive reference, and brief smoking.

<strong>Apollo 11</strong> (Netflix)

Apollo 11 (Netflix)

The historic 50-year-old mission is brought vividly to life in this documentary through a newly discovered cache of 65mm film and more than 11,000 hours of previously uncatalogued audio recordings – most of it never before seen or heard. The result is a riveting 90-minute film that feels like a time machine to 1969 – complete with bell bottoms, blinking control panels and Walter Cronkite narrating history as it unfolds. With the U.S. set to return to the moon this year, this one is a must-watch. Rated G (the film includes only two coarse words).

Paddington (Wonder Project)

A polite young bear from Peru travels to London in search of a new home and finds it in the home of the Browns – a kind-hearted family with two adventurous kids and a cantankerous dad who slowly warms to the lovable newcomer. Of course, Paddington battles adversity, too – primarily from a cunning taxidermist who searches high and low for our heroic bear with the goal of stuffing him. Rated PG for mild action and rude humor.
