We have a question for the many children out of school for summer break: are you bored yet? Our answer? You can always go to the movies. Today, we tell you about some of the films that might be just right for the young.

‘Inside Out'

Animation (动画片)is as popular as ever this summer. We can start with what appears to be already one of the most successful movies of 2015. The Disney Pixar film "Inside Out" was released June 19. It has sold close to $300 million dollars of tickets since then.

"Inside Out" makes talking characters of human emotions. They belong to a girl named Riley, who has moved with her family to a new place. Joy, fear, sadness and other feelings are always at work in Riley's mind and on display for movie viewers.

‘Minions'

Another animated movie sure to be a big hit is a spin-off (副产品)from the "Despicable Me" series. The new movie "Minions" features the little yellow creatures who served the evil character Gru in "Despicable Me."

The new movie tells their story. It starts years before they meet Dru. They have accidentally killed off all their past evil leaders. A search for a new one takes them to New York City and Florida and even overseas.

‘Paper Towns'

Maybe you think you are too old for animation. If so, there is also a young adult film opening. "Paper Towns" is a movie based on a John Green novel. "Paper Towns" deals with some themes -- friendship, disappointment and loyalty. 

‘Ricki and the Flash'

The summer movie season will come to an end with a movie that both teens and adults might enjoy. "Ricki and the Flash" comes out August 7. The film stars Meryl Streep as a rock and roll musician who left her family to follow her professional dreams. Ricki returns to lend motherly support when her daughter faces a difficult time.
