Hulu
- Akeelah and the Bee (PG, 2006) — An 11-year-old black girl from Los Angeles competes in the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee.
The story is fictional but inspiring. (If you want a similar plot based on a true story consider the chess-themed Queen of Katwe on Netflix.)
Rated PG for some language. Sept. 1.
- Barnyard (PG, 2006) — Otis is a carefree young bull who would rather party and play than accept responsibility.
His father is determined to teach Otis how to work. Animated.
Rated PG for some mild peril and rude humor. Sept. 1.
- Nacho Libre (PG, 2006) — A monk raises money for orphans by moonlighting as a wrestler. This comedy was written and directed by the same director-writer team that brought us Napoleon Dynamite. The latter film is funnier but both are worth a watch.
Rated PG for some rough action and crude humor including dialogue. Sept. 1.
