With the further extension of lockdown, most of us are resorting to the internet more often to pull through this troublesome time. This is also true for kids who are finding it difficult to stay indoors and cope with restlessness. Indubitably, online streaming of movies and shows offer them an escape from the quarantine uneasiness. However, it’s important to consider how you can make the most of these entertainment sources to ensure a positive effect on their innocent minds. After all, their interaction with the fascinating visuals actually moulds the way they perceive the world around them.
Featuring some utterly adorable characters who teach important social and moral values, here are some exceptionally great movies your little ones can enjoy watching on ZEE5 Kids.

This classic story is an absolutely intriguing experience for your children to learn the importance of righteous attitude. It beautifully depicts the story of an orphan girl who manages to find happiness whilst being suppressed and tortured by her wicked stepmother and cruel stepsisters. Her longing to attend the grand ball in the king’s palace, the sudden appearance of the fairy godmother and the magical transformation of her animal friends, her encounter with the prince, the coming off of the glass slipper and finally; her marriage – every aspect of this fairytale has a hidden moral.
Cinderella perfectly depicts the power of kindness. It teaches that even if misfortune befalls you, your positive conduct will ultimately lead you to happiness and freedom. Besides, your dreams are always stronger than your predicaments. Thus, one should never stop dreaming.
- Love you Ganesha
Impatient and fretful like all children, Chintu, a school boy, keeps complaining to Lord Ganesha about the challenges and difficulties he faces in his academics. He yearns to achieve his dreams, yet shows reluctance to work hard for them. That’s when Lord Ganesha enters his life helping him understand the need for hard work. Gradually, Chintu develops a friendly bond with him and at last, accomplishes his goal of scoring well in his exams.
It shines a light on the following insights that can help morph your child into a better individual.

Moreover, it teaches that God is your best friend and with his grace, all your efforts will surely bear fruits.
- Krishna Makhan Chor
Directed by Rajiv Chilaka, this is certainly the best movie one can find to impart significant values to one’s kids through the life of Lord Krishna.

The primary message that this movie disseminates is that evil can never surpass good. Moreover, the selfless love of Yashodha towards Kanha, the strong and amiable friendship between Krishna and his friends, and the unparalleled bond between the two siblings Krishna and Balram – all these are embodiments of the great power of love.
