I run a middle school D&D Club with another facilitator. Because of the sheer size of the club, we split them in half in groups of 6-8. This week, the other facilitator won't be able to make it, so I've decided to opt for a D&D related activity instead. I have some back up plans in mind, but since we're so close to winter break, I was thinking it would be nice for them to chill out and maybe watch a movie or something. I'm trying to think of some nice kid friendly D&D inspired shows or movies. Right now I'm leaning towards The Dragon Prince but any suggestions would be nice.
So do you need General fantasy or strictly inspired by D&D?
Because of my age, i am likely to suggest old Classics like "The last unicorn" or "Disney's The Sword in the Stone." for general fantasy. As for D&D movies in particular, most of them aren't kid oriented.

Not sure of their ages but Honour Among Thieves is a fantastic film that I highly recommend. You could also get retro and show them the 80s D&D cartoon which is available on YouTube
There's the old 80's cartoon. Though you might need to re-watch it. I don't remember it well enough to say if its OK by contemporary standards, but I think it would be fine.
As a bonus, the kids would start getting the easter eggs they've been plating, like using the party in honor among thieves, and in art in some of the new books.
Onwards is great and really doesn’t get the love it deserved because it came out during Covid lockdowns and didn’t get a cinema release. It’s a lot of fun and there’s so many great D&D references

I was thinking about that! It's PG-13 so I'll have to ask Admin if that's something I'd need to send out a permission slip for.
I suppose general fantasy works! Old classics definitely fit the vibe I'm looking for thank you.

ModeratorPixar’s Onward is PG and absolutely D&D-inspired. It’s available on Disney+.
You might find some other fun activities here, too:

I didn't know that about Onward. Just did a little research on it - very cool.

Labyrinth and The Gamers spring to mind... Also Of Dice and Men...
