It was a busy year for Netflix on the kids and family front with a bunch of new releases, but what reigned supreme on the kids’ top 10s? Below, we’ll present the top 100 movies and series that picked up the most points in the daily kids’ top 10s throughout the year, where those daily top 10s are available.
This data comes from FlixPatrol, which, as you may know, assigns point values to the daily top 10s around the world. Each country has its own respective top 10, and by assigning points, we can tell which series and movies had the longest legs in the top 10s, which can reflect popularity. It’s not exactly viewership like what we get with the Netflix Engagement Reports, but it shows a strong correlation.
For these lists, we’re looking at the siloed daily top 10s for the kids profile, which was first introduced in mid-2021. These top 10s only include those titles eligible to feature within the kids section of Netflix. We’ve done this for the past few years, so we’ve been able to get good insights into what the big plays are for the streamer in this section, and we know that on the movie side, Universal’s slate of animated titles picks up most of the load. Has that continued in 2025? Let’s take a look.

No surprise what took home the most points. KPop Demon Hunters, of course. It dominated the top 10s soon after the movie dropped and has not budged since. We all know the story by now; it became Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time, by quite a significant margin, and still picks up lots of viewing hours every week in the top 10s. Better still, we’d predict it no doubt pick up the number 1 spot next year too.
Elsewhere, a similar picture to years prior: thanks to Netflix’s licensing arrangement with Universal Pictures globally, we see Illumination titles regularly cycle on and off Netflix in nearly every region, and because of that, their movies dominate whenever they jump on.
Paramount’s PAW Patrol movie made its way onto Netflix across the world throughout the year, and much like the series which does numbers for the streamer, the movie does as well.

Most Popular Kids and Family Series on Netflix in 2025

No change for the top spot for the kids TV top 10s, with Peppa Pig absolutely rinsing the competition once again for the top spot. Gabby’s Dollhouse continues its place in second spot too, but CoComelon, which has been so dominant in recent years, has dropped down to eighth with its Netflix Original spin-off, CoComelon Lane, at number seven.
The YouTube crown, then, belongs to Ms. Rachel, who is one of two major successes to jump from the platform to Netflix, the other being Mark Rober’s CrunchLabs, but it appears much lower down the list because it was added much later in the year.
