Some movie characters just go together: Buzz and Woody, Butch and Sundance, Thelma and Louise. We've picked out our favorite movies about friendship for kids of all ages. They're great for rainy days, play dates, or those family movie nights when you want something sweet without any of the "mush" that younger kids don't always go for. These are also great picks if you want to foster character strengths like compassion, empathy, and teamwork.
