Here is a list of the year's new family/kids movie releases. Most of the movies included are rated G or PG, but with the recent explosion of PG-13 titles that are aimed at families and kids (superhero movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, movies about teens...), I have included some PG-13 titles so parents are aware of the dates and can find out more about them. Many of the movies will be released in theaters in 2D, 3D, and/or IMAX.

Check your local theaters to find out which ones offer movies in 3D. (Release dates may change)
