Real talk: I get pretty excited when Netflix Canada announces which kids’ TV shows and movies it will add to its lineup each month. Will there be a movie my nine-year-old loved at the theatre and now it’s finally available to stream (over and over again)? Will there be a new season of a series that my four-year-old is obsessed with (I’m looking at you, Rescue Bots)? And often there’s a new Netflix Original movie or show that looks promising.
So, here’s what’s coming up in November 2017. No new Rescue Bots, but there’s a little of something for everyone. Note: Age recommendations are approximate. Every kid is different—you’re the best judge of what’s appropriate and what your kid can handle.
