Which you don’t even have to do to enjoy the long list of free movies and TV shows - and live TV, including an easy-to-use guide to what’s playing. “Go ahead, stream free” is the first thing you see, even before you log in. Kanopy Kids allows the glory of unlimited plays, because if you’ve been around younger children, they can get engrossed in the same movie over and over (x10) - just like some grown-ups with “Tombstone.” Plex The streamer also hosts Kanopy Kids, a collection of TV shows and movies for children. Check to see if your library or school offers this service, for which the bulk of the movies are acclaimed, educational and/or award-winning. Much like Hoopla Digital, the libraries - and in this case also the universities - carry the cost so that the public can enjoy access. Kanopy is free to use for those with a public library card or a valid university account. And don’t worry, the catalog will only get more extensive: Creators can add their titles to the thousands of libraries that use the service. (And if you don’t, the registration process offers you a chance to get one.) Hoopla offers a guide based on its popular offerings, which include classic titles such as “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and more modern fare such as the TV show “A Discovery of Witches.” The drawback is that you’re limited to your library’s catalog the benefit is that you’re able to borrow other entertainment, such as music, graphic novels and e-books. If you have a library card, you have free access to Hoopla. All I know is that’s a lot of words to just say the word “free.” Hoopla Digital Crunchyroll calls itself the “ultimate anime experience with subs, dubs, films and simulcast series in over 200 countries and territories and in 10 languages.” I don’t know if I can argue. There are three tiers above the free one, each with increasing bonus attractions including no ads and swag. The premier home for the anime of your dreams got a boost when Funimation content rolled onto the service last year. What to watch: “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”Ĭhances are your anime-obsessed friend - and that includes your child - can tell you all you need to know about Crunchyroll. Movies run the gamut from “Gaslight” (1940) to “Sharknado: Feeding Frenzy.” Two caveats: Crackle is available only in standard definition and you have to register to get the most out of it. Other “Crackle Original” series include a television spinoff of the Guy Ritchie-directed movie “Snatch” and “Inside the Black Box,” hosted by Joe Morgan (“Scandal”) and Tracey Moore. Crackle even has original series, one of which you may not even know you knew: “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” is now on Netflix but the Jerry Seinfeld-hosted series started 11 seasons ago on Crackle. The streamer has a pretty good list of older and lesser-known movies in its lineup, but the common-sense categories help you find what you’re looking for quickly. Now owned by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Inc., Crackle has expanded beyond the anime for which it was originally known. The streaming service was founded in 2004, and at one point Sony owned it. Unlike the young Freevee, Crackle is an OG in the game. And the recent hit series “Jury Duty,” which The Times described as “something like watching ’12 Angry Men’ directed by Christopher Guest,” is just one Freevee original worth watching TV critic Robert Lloyd named “High School,” inspired by real-life singing sisters Tegan and Sara, one of the best shows of 2022. Even hard-to-find movies such as the cult favorite horror flick “Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil’s Son-in-Law” can be discovered among the offerings. One should expect nothing less than an extensive library from an Amazon brand, and it delivers. Freevee, launched in 2019, maintains the familiar Amazon Prime Video interface, maintaining features such as “X-ray” that allow you to learn about the actors in each scene and other background information. It’s high time that Amazon gave back to the viewing community, and it has done that with this streamer once called IMDb TV.
