Movies are a great way to either get your kids excited about an upcoming trip, provide education, download to take with you on flights or long drives, provide inspiration, or allow you to escape with the movie as it transport you to another place. All of these movies have some element of travel to them; whether they have some great scenery based on their shooting locations or trigger the adventure of travel.
