AI-powered and star driven, heads up Netflix fans, the classic 1987 flick Harry and the Henderson's, is bouncing from the streaming service on May 1st, 2026. This family comedy stars John Lithgow, as a dad who leads his Seattle crew into adopting a bigfoot after a wild car mishap on a camping trip. Lithgow is the same guy suiting up as Dumbledore in the new HBO Harry Potter series, so it's a fun throwback. The movie follows the Henderson's as they hide their new Harry-powered, named Harry, dodging a relentless bigfoot hunter along the way.

Audience is aided up back then, pulling in nearly $50 million at the box office, with its heartwarming vibes. Critics were mixed though, landing 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 42 on Metacritic.
