Whether you want to give the teens in your life a taste of 1990s nostalgia or whet preschoolers’ appetites with a cartoon classic, we’ve pulled together an eggs-cellent

list of entertaining viewing for every age and stage.

Malcolm In The Middle: Life’s Still Unfair

Streaming from Friday, Disney+

Twenty years after we bid farewell to Hal and Lois (Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek) and their rambunctious offspring, they’re back for a fittingly chaotic family reunion.

This blast from the past features all the original cast – except Erik Per Sullivan, who Cranston revealed in June 2025 was too busy pursuing a master’s degree at Harvard University to reprise his role as the sweet-natured Dewey – and picks up with gifted middle son Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) now a single dad to a teenage daughter.

Bugs Bunny Adventures

Tubi

The Easter Bunny isn’t the only celebrity rabbit to have on your radar these holidays. The fast-talking Warner Bros. cartoon character may be approaching 86 years old, but his slapstick humour and crazy hijinks never age. Grown-ups and kids alike will enjoy this collection of oldies but goodies from 1943.

Hop

Binge

In this 2011 film, the Easter Bunny’s wayward son E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand) is harbouring rock-star dreams when he literally crashes the life

of slacker Fred (James Marsden). The two become unlikely friends as they unearth a chicken-led uprising that threatens to derail everyone’s favourite chocolate-laden holiday.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Disney+

Any hopes that cheerleading vampire killer (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her Scooby Gang were coming back for a fresh series of high-stakes adventures were dashed when the reboot was cancelled last month. However, viewers can stave off boredom with seven seasons of the 1997 to 2003 series.

Caper Crew

Streaming from Friday, ABC iview

Following the lead of 1990s Aussie TV hits such as Pugwall and Round The Twist, this new series follows a pair of siblings whose lives are upturned by the arrival of their glamorous grandmother, Queenie (Tina Bursill). A con woman with a shady past, she introduces them to the “Ten Con-mandments” – her personal playbook of mischief, mayhem and the art of the grift.

Year One

Tubi

When you pair Groundhog Day director Harold Ramis and The 40-Year-Old Virgin director Judd Apatow, you get this unexpected 2009 comedic spin on the Old Testament. It sees Jack Black and Michael Cera as cavemen who travel to the Bronze Age and encounter biblical characters such as Abraham (Hank Azaria) and Cain and Abel (David Cross and Paul Rudd).

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Tubi

Premiering in 1971, this stop-motion animation classic narrated by US entertainer Danny Kaye sees two rabbits (voiced by radio DJ Casey Kasem and legendary film villain Vincent Price) embroiled in a turf war over the right way to craft eggs and celebrate Easter.

Wonder Pets: In The City

Apple TV

One for the tiny tots of the household, the new second season of this musical series sees three classroom pets – Izzy the guinea pig, Zuri the bunny and Tate the snake – embracing differences and celebrating teamwork as they embark on missions to help animals in trouble.

Pixels

Tubi

When aliens interpret video game feeds from Earth as military aggression and respond by invading as game characters such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, it’s up to childhood friends Sam, Will and Violet (Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Michelle Monaghan) to draw on their old arcade skills and save the planet from annihilation in this 2015 sci-fi comedy.

Zootopia 2

Disney+

When this sequel to the 2016 animation hit cinemas last November, fox and bunny cops Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps (voiced by Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin) toppled the witches of Wicked: For Good at the box office. With cameos from Dwayne Johnson, Quinta Brunson, Macaulay Culkin and Robert Irwin, this adventure has the furry crime fighters chasing a pit viper (Ke Huy Quan) across town.

Kangaroo

HBO Max

Inspired by the story of real-life Alice Springs kangaroo rescuer Chris “Brolga” Barns, this 2025 film from the studio behind Paddington and Looking For Alibrandi director Kate Woods follows washed-up TV star Chris (Ryan Corr) and young Charlie (Lily Whiteley) as they open a sanctuary for orphaned joeys in the outback.

The Wild Robot

Paramount+

A shipwrecked helper robot builds relationships with the local wildlife in this 2024 animated (and Oscar-nominated) spin on Robinson Crusoe, featuring the voices of Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Bill Nighy, Mark Hamill and the late Catherine O’Hara.

Unicorn Academy: Secrets Revealed

Rainbows, a magical tiara and unicorns aplenty. What more could a kid want in a show? The new chapter in this animated fantasy series follows Sophia and her friends on a quest

to unlock the mysteries of Unicorn Island.

The Traitors

Paramount+

Australia will soon get a third season of its own version of the water-cooler reality series, this time with Gretel Killeen overseeing all the cloak-and-dagger. Until then, families can enjoy the recent star-studded international formats. Younger kids won’t necessarily recognise comic Alan Carr or Real Housewife Lisa Rinna, but they will appreciate their madcap antics in their respective UK and US games.

Harry Potter

HBO Max

Production on the TV adaptation of the book series is underway with John Lithgow donning Dumbledore’s robes. While fans wait with bated breath to re-enter the wizarding world when it premieres this Christmas, they can relive the classic film series on demand, following the adventures of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) as they try to bring down the villainous Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

Sesame Street
