Watch Bluey! It’s a kids show, but everyone should watch it.

My Neighbor Totoro!

the original black and white The Addams Family is extremely wholesome. There’s an absolutely lovely family dynamic and the parents are extremely loving to the children and each other. I highly recommend it!

The Incredibles and Inside Out both portray realistic, flawed, loving family dynamics. As a parent, they’re hard and beautiful to watch.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Film: Mitchell’s vs the Machines.

TV: The Great North

We should setup a watch party thing around some kind of FOSS friendly deal. At a minimum we could watch and discuss for a day+ of open conversation. It might be fun?

Sid the Science Kid

Addams family (Movies)

Malcolm in the Middle(dysfunctional, but deep down concern)

The Mummy (movies)

Hmm… It’s an adoptive family dynamic, but I think you’ll like Anne Shirley. You can watch the recent remake or the original anime depending on preference.

since all commenters here are missing out on the best family shows and films i’ll add to the collective knowledge

Astrid Lindgren’s

• Ronja Rövardotter

• Saltkråkan

• Bullerbyn

Tove Johansson’s

• 1972 Mumin

overall swedish cartoons

• Alfons Åberg

• Långa Farbrorn

• Creepschool (highlights and helps alot of trauma and social issues of children in every episodes, i can attest)

but if you want only american… i don’t have a family drama, but a found family feelgood

• 1985 Freaks of Science

ask me for clarifications or so

You didn’t ask for a video game, but the first piece of media I thought of was, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2. They literally made me cry at some scenes because of how wholesome parts of them are. He kinda adopts a little girl, and starts an orphanage. There’s even a section of the game where you just walk around town holding her hand. Although the game has a lot of mature elements and is not entirely about this.

I can’t really think of many parent/child wholesome media, but Mr Rodgers is something I enjoy watching with my daughter.

Edit, I just remembered, I Love Lucy is pretty wholesome with a parent child relationship

Figure 17

Loving dad. And what if you suddenly had an identical twin that’s trying to better you and helps you get out of your shell?

Netflix’s Lost in Space.

Wrote this in another thread but I love the found family trope and Spy x Family totally fits that bill. I wrote a few other examples below.

Movies

• Logan
• Ice Age
• Wild Robot
• Up
• Despicable Me

Shows

• The Last of Us
• The Mandalorian
• The Witcher
• Daddy Buddy (this one is an anime on Crunchyroll. I highly recommend this if you liked Spy x Family. Revolves around 2 assassins who accidentally wind up with a 4 year old)
