A family movie has a distinct difference to a kid’s movie. Although some kid’s movies do have obvious nostalgic appeal to adults, too, a family movie is created with all ages in mind. The children love them because of engaging and fun story lines while some of the more complex aspects of the storyline and even jokes that the adults will find funny (without being considered adult) give parents a good reason to watch.

While film ratings might be getting more and more laps, Avalon Family Entertainment is committed to creating and distributing family films that everybody can enjoy without the constant worry of whether a questionable section of content is about to crop up.

By using these classic tales, Avalon can ensure that people already know the story. Children will want to see their favorite storybook characters come to life while adults will enjoy the combination of entertaining viewing with the romanticism of revisiting tales from their youth.

The current project they are working on is Jack and the Beanstalk and have earmarked titles like Gulliver’s Travels, The Three Little Pigs, and The Pied Piper of Hamlin for development in the future. If you’re looking for good, clean, and enjoyable film fun then look for the next Avalon Family Entertainment release.

Many people would be shocked to know that family movies are the biggest money makers. According to the Dove Foundation, family movies bring in an average gross profit of $94 million. That is way above the average for rated R movies: $11 million. As well as theater ticket sales, family-orientated movies also bring in profit through merchandising. Just think of the movies “Finding Nemo,” “Shrek,” “The Lion King,” and “Toy Story.” They have brought in huge profit through product endorsements and the selling of clothing, toys, and other products. DVDs, soundtracks, and Pay-Per-View movies also add further profit.

As President and CEO of Avalon Family Entertainment, Gary DePew was involved in the successful movie “Hansel and Gretel.” He has worked with several studios before joining Avalon, and applies his experience and drive to every project. The company’s current project is “Jack & the Beanstalk,” which features Colin Ford as “Jack.” Many famous actors are in the film: James Earl Jones, Katey Segal, Christopher Lloyd, Gilbert Gottfried, and Chevy Chase. Another movie that Avalon has in production is “Snow White.”

Avalon has many fairy tales on their list of potential upcoming projects. Titles include “The Three Little Pigs,” “Robin Hood,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Cinderella,” “The Pied Piper of Hamlin,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Gulliver’s Travels.” Producing these movies is profitable because they are familiar to the general public and people would enjoy seeing their favorite fairy tales brought to life. They are also profitable because the fairy tales are public domain; therefore there are no costs to obtain story rights.
