First, you need to know how to watch the movies you stream on your TV. Some newer smart TVs are integrated with streaming channels. But, our TV isn't the smartest one on the shelf. So, we use a Roku Streaming Stick.
We love good movies and productions. Pureflix has a lot of cheesy shows but with patience we have found favorites that we have been satisfied with. Currently I am sitting with my 5 year old watching Samson. We are actually enjoying it. I just got Netflix back after being separated from it and I told the kids my expectations. I also trying vidangel for the first time. With Vidangel now you have to have a subscription to Netflix or Amazon (or both). I am not doing Amazon. I will have to choose between vidangel and pureflix because I have a budget if $20 a month for this sort of entertainment. I do recommend them.
I get this on the YouTube app too with HQ videos, the workaround there is to reduce the quality and then they play back fine. If we could choose lower quality video in the PH app to test for you, that would be very nice

Some of these services are free to access, while others require a paid subscription. And if you don't mind your child seeing ads while streaming, you can choose a free platform or low-cost plan to save money each month. Not every streamer shows commercials on kids' content, but prepare to pay more for a service like Paramount Plus or Disney Plus to stream without ads.
For any streaming service, you'll want to know how many screens you can watch at a time. For example, Netflix's ad-based plan allows two simultaneous streams, but you have to upgrade to the premium version if your family needs four screens. Look for platform offerings that let your household stream on multiple devices at once if that's what you need.
Streaming services that house mature content -- such as Max and Netflix -- provide ways for parents to restrict what programming kids can watch. Others offer children's-only content with customizable settings that allow you to block certain titles. Check for parental controls that aren't easily bypassed, like PINs or curated kids' profiles.
