Movielink Family is a fun and safe movie downloading service where parents and their children can find popular G and PG-rated movies, educational documentaries and cartoons suitable for all ages.

With hundreds of family-based titles available from Movielink's library of more than 1200 films, Movielink Family (http://family.movielink.com) lets parents and children download movies without being concerned about inappropriate material. So whether at a relative's house for the holidays, away on a tropical vacation, or just relaxing at home, the whole family can now spend quality time and enjoy kid-oriented flicks together at everyone's convenience. To celebrate the launch of Movielink Family, Movielink is giving 50% off the first downloaded title.

"Our customers have expressed a strong interest in having a family-oriented site for movies and other entertainment," said Alan Citron, senior vice president of marketing, Movielink.
