Is it Children's Day again? Sadly, we don't celebrate that in my country. That's why I moved to China. Where a kid can be a kid!®️

After an action-packed May without any options for the kiddos, we at least have a couple cartoons to choose from this month. But calm down, don't get too excited...

Hold your h̶o̶r̶s̶e̶s̶ velociraptors

Those couple cartoons are from Japan, Germany, and the USA, respectively. And because we can never have enough Chris Pratt, we also get the big dino-followup we've all been waiting for! Hope you don't dislike him after Avengers.

After you read through our helpful list, vote for the ones you want to see and share with all your friends who might benefit from it...

The world's favorite family of superheroes is back in Incredibles 2 but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of normal life.

It's a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again which is easier said than done, even when they're all Incredible.

Kids and grown-ups alike will all love this one. How do we know? One word: Pixar.

One last thing, make sure your tickets say it's in English! It looks like they might be dubbing some of these showings into Chinese audio for the local youngsters.

超人家族时隔14年强势回归！这次站在聚光灯下的是弹力女超人海伦（霍利·亨特 配音），超能先生巴鲍勃（格雷格·T·尼尔森 配音）则在家照料巴小倩和巴小飞，过起了“正常人”的居家生活。这一角色转换对于每个家庭成员来说都是艰难的，更何况他们都还没意识到宝宝巴小杰的超能力已经悄然增长。

当剧中新反派开始酝酿一个狡诈危险的阴谋，超人家族必须联合酷冰侠（塞缪尔·杰克逊 配音）的力量团结对外——然而即使各自都有超能力，真正做起来却是知易行难。
