Anyone who suffered through “Pokemon 2” can tell you there are two kinds of kids flicks: the Unbearable and the Surprisingly Good.

Lately, there have been several of the latter, including “March of the Penguins” and “The Incredibles” – G-rated flicks that even the childless among us happily queued up for.

Aside from obvious pleasers like “Harry Potter” and “The Chronicles of Narnia,” Here are a few others likely to delight the entire family:

WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT (Oct. 7)

The folks behind the terrific “Chicken Run” bring back doughy inventor Wallace and his faithful mutt Gromit. This time, the two trail the big-eared saboteurs of a giant vegetable-growing contest. Paging Bugs Bunny.

CHICKEN LITTLE (Nov. 4)

The time-honored classic about a doom-fearing chick undergoes a modernist makeover, with the slyly subversive Amy Sedaris as the voice of Foxy Loxie. Tweety-Bird fans will happily note a likeness between their fave and the title character, voiced by “Scrubs” man Zach Braff.

ZATHURA (Nov. 11)

Mix the starry-eyed Chris Van Allsburg (“Polar Express”) with the swingin’ Jon Favreau (“Elf”) and you’ve got a sci-fi adventure about two brothers tangled up in an intergalactic mess while their house hurtles through space.

YOURS, MINE & OURS (Nov. 23)

An exercise in baby-boomer nostalgia, this remake of the ’68 Lucille Ball-Henry Fonda film stars wolfishly handsome Dennis Quaid and leggy Rene Russo as the widowed heads of two enormous families (18 kids in all) forced to live under one roof.
