Prepare for your next road trip movie marathon with these five recommended family-friendly themes:

1. Girl Power

Celebrate the age of equality with films focused on girl bosses. Start with the live-action adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland,” which follows Alice as she explores a world of fantasy with a mad hatter, quarreling queens and a talking rabbit. Continue the adaptation streak with “Maleficent,” the origin story of the fearsome villain in “Sleeping Beauty.” Go back in time with “Brave” and meet Merida, a young princess who is set on redefining what it means to be a Disney Princess. Go inside the mind of a girl in “Inside Out,” quite literally, where her five emotions help her navigate teenage life. Then close your marathon with “Frozen” and sing your heart out with two sisters in an ice kingdom.

2. #FriendshipGoals

Friendship-themed movies and strengthen bonds before friends can get to their destination. Start with the “Toy Story” trilogy and see how a group of toys become good friends. Follow that up with the friendship of Mike and Sully in “Monsters Inc.” and its prequel “Monsters University,” where they’re monsters who scare kids to harness energy. Next on the list is “A Bug’s Life,” about a group of cute insects who must save an ant’s colony. After that, travel to France and meet Remy, a rat who can cook delicious meals in “Ratatouille,” as he befriends the human Alfredo Linguini. Last, visit the prehistoric times in “The Good Dinosaur” and discover the friendship between a dinosaur and a human.

3. Life in the Outer Space

Explore the galaxy with the “Star Wars” franchise and rediscover the fight between good and evil in a galaxy far, far away. Start with “The Empire Strikes Back” and follow it up with “Return of the Jedi,” “The Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith.”

4. Heroes in Action

Watch “Big Hero 6,” and see how a young robotics prodigy forms a team to fight a masked villain. Stream “Bolt,” a young dog who rescues his human. Of course there’s also the Marvel Cinematic Universe where you meet Tony Stark in the “Iron Man” trilogy; the god of thunder in “Thor” and “Thor: The Dark World;” Steve Rogers in “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Captain America: Winter Soldier;” and, Star-Lord and his crew in “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Watch them get together to defeat villainous forces in “The Avengers” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

5. A Taste for Adventure

Start the marathon with “Up,” which follows Carl as he goes on a mission in South America accompanied by the ever-lovable Russell. Complete the marathon with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, where the pirate Jack Sparrow goes on a series of swashbuckling quests in “Curse of the Black Pearl,” “Dead Man’s Chest,” “At World’s End” and “On Stranger Tides.”
