What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than to watch a film honoring and celebrating your dad. If you’re looking for a last-minute movie inspiration, here are some movies we recommend you watch with your old man.

The Incredibles 2

Pixar’s latest film The Incredibles 2 opened in theaters this week nearly 14 years after Director Brad Bird’s original The Incredibles film. The long-awaited sequel is a superhero movie like no other, and its plot revolves around stay-at-home father Bob (Craig T. Nelson), aka Mr. Incredible, taking care of their three children, while his wife Helen (Holly Hunter), goes out and fights crime. Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Frozone in the film, and we will see new characters voiced by Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener. The result is an inspiring summer film which offers an opportunity for stay-at-home fatherhood to be portrayed in a positive, stereotype-breaking, and super-heroic light.

Ways to Live Forever

Robbie Kay and Ella Purnell star in the heartwarming film about a 12-year-old boy dying of leukemia. Sam (Robbie Kay) has a list of things he wants to do before he dies and is writing his memories in a book entitled “Ways to Live Forever.” His father Daniel (Ben Chaplin) is a quiet man who refuses to accept his son’s illness. The movie is based on the award-winning novel of the same name and also includes cast members Emilia Fox and Greta Scacchi.

Star Wars

“I am your father,” a line uttered by Darth Vader to his son Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, is one of the most iconic film quotes in all of history and there's a good chance your father will want to take a trip down memory lane and re-watch this epic series. It’s worth noting that Solo: A Star Wars Story is still playing in theaters and is the latest installment in the series, starring Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, and Emilia Clarke. The film follows young Han Solo and Chewbacca as they join a gang of galactic smugglers.

Lightning McQueen and friends will be racing back into theaters today in the third and final installment of the Disney/Pixar Cars franchise, Cars 3. Fans have been riled up with excitement over the many film trailers that have been posted throughout the major social media platforms. The Cars 3 cast will once again be featuring a slew of recognizable names such as Owen Wilson, Armie Hammer, Cristela Alonzo, Cheech Marin, Nathan Fillion, Jenifer Lewis, and the infamous Larry the Cable Guy.

The main character Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is viewed as the well-established superstar but eventually finds himself faltering in his racing abilities against Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), the new antagonist of the film. In the trailers, we can see Lightning McQueen spinning in slow motion after a freak tire malfunction, making the whole world question whether or not he should ever step up to the race track ever again. The racing world is evolving with technologically advanced training programs and faster racecars leading the industry. Lightning McQueen enlists the help of an enthusiastic race technician, Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo) to train him in order to defeat Jackson Storm and reclaim his spot as the number one racer in the world. The first Disney/Pixar Cars film debuted in 2006 and has since amassed millions in both revenue and fans. One notable difference between the newest installment and its predecessors is that Brian Fee will be directing it in place of the original director, John Lasseter. We’ll be on the edge of our seats for the entire movie, so be sure to catch the film in theaters starting June 16, 2017.

Ways To Live Forever has stolen our nation's heart and gained a vast amount of support from charities and children’s hospitals alike. World Wide Motion Pictures would like to take a closer look at some of the film's supporters and see what goes on in the fight against cancer here in Orange County.

So we decided to take a close up look at one of the film’s supporters: Children’s Hospital of OC (CHOC). CHOC has been named one of the top ranked hospitals by U.S. News in 2013 and 2014 - specializing in childhood cancers. Its great work and location has gained the hospital the support of celebrities such as Britney Spears, Ryan Seacrest, and many others. In addition, the hospital is also supported by the Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland!

Since CHOC's doors opened in 1964, the Walt Disney Company and even Walt Disney himself have supported the hospital every step of the way. Walt helped fund the construction of the first building of the hospital complex in 1960. In 2012, the company endowed upon the hospital a generous donation of $5 million to help construct the hospital’s newest annex, which features magical characters and engaging experiences designed by Disney cast members and imagineers. That magical touch that Disney has provided the hospital spreads a little magic to children who don’t often get to enjoy it the way others do.

After all, happiness is a treatment for nearly all  illnesses, and of course with a little touch of pixie dust on the side, anything is possible!
