What are the best movies for toddlers?

Tracy - posted on 04/26/2013

My son is almost 2 and he LOVEs Sponge Bob, Bob the Builder, Chuggington, Sesame Street (or Street as he calls it), Super Why and Bubble Guppies. Never heard of Word World but it looks like a really cool idea. My son has learned the most from Super Why and Sesame Street. Also he he has a couple dvds called GiggleBellies that he likes as well.

Looney Toons cartoon DVDs are the best! My husband and I loved those as kids, and now our 7-year-old has watched them for the past few years. Classic cartoons!

I spend a lot of time with my kids (3 and 1.5) watching educational music videos -- I find that they are entertaining and educational. I usually buy a DVD or find stuff on youtube. These children's channels on youtube are my kids' favorites: kidstv123, Toddler World TV, and Super Simple Learning. The great thing about youtube is that I can play videos from those channels on my iPhone while we are out somewhere and that keeps the kids calm.

first thing i want to make clear, is that i am a father not a mom. Just reached here to find answer for similar question of mine that is what other movies small kids like ? mine is a huge fan of toy story 3, for her toy story 3 is cartoon, sorry, Kaakoon. It is what she pronounces cartoons. but in last two months we as accompanying parents have become sort of bored of seeing it repeatedly. Tried other movies but none attracts her the same way as toy story 3 does.

disney/pixar also have shorts---5-10 mins long---some are extensions of an original movie or new with a learning spin on them. we have the loaded on the tablet and she can get them herself with permission.

i dug right into the classics--i find them less 'busy' than the new disney/pixar, although great movies i will probabaly wait till my daugher is 3+ to watch these---we started with junglebook, little mermaid, aristocats, fox & hound, cinderella, peter pan, etc....the ones i watched as a kid and loved. i am really enjoying watch them again, it's funny what you do/dont remember. i find these slow enough for her to follow and get the 'plot' a bit more than the older ones....i can't wait to get watching those too.

My daughter (3) quite enjoys disney movies as there s lots of songs to sing along with (unfortunately she takes her singing ability from me so this is very loud & very out of tune) I started her watching them about a year ago as a break from CBeebies. You may find the pixar movies are best to start on for boys (I'd recommend Cars or Toy Story) which is what both my nephews were daft on at 2.5 xx

My grand daughter is 15 months old and LOVES Despicable Me and Mega Mind. We've watched these over and over. She also likes Barney and some of the Veggie Tales.

like all of these movies but my daghter wont sit still

My kids LOVE Lilo and Stitch. They're 1 and 2yrs. old and will sit through almost half of the movie before ever making a sound! They also love the grinch (the original one), Stuart Little, Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan. I also have Finding Nemo and they haven't seemed to take a liking to it either... maybe it's just too mature for them? I noticed it also has a lot of bickering between Dory and Marlin (I believe that's his name... Nemo's father). I saw the kids lose interest fast when the first argument came up, and they never really came back to it. I found when introducing a new show or movie, if you hype it up to them, and spend the first few minutes identifying everything you see, and commenting on what will happen next they get excited about it too. Now my kids insist on getting my attention at the beginning of the movie to point out the characters, then they're engrossed and I can enjoy some qiuet!

My son would only watch yo gabba gabba for the longest time. I started sneaking in other shows slowly! i started with the wiggles since it was only a 15 minute show. and now he watches almost anything.

Kara - posted on 03/06/2012

I have no idea why but both of my boys liked Gaither's Homecoming kids movies. It's cool but not the most professionally made movies, lol. No matter how many we turned on, they were only interested in those and the Wiggles.

You could try getting the seasons of some kid shows. My son is almost 3 and he loves scooby doo and bob the builder. We buy them on dvd or vhs. They both have 4 to 5 episodes on each disc/vhs tape.

My 2.5 year old and 1 year old (both boys) looove the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse "movies" (just an hour long), Strawberry Shortcake movies, and Tinkerbell movies. Also Toy Story (1,2 and 3), and Care Bears movies. They'll sit and watch them all day if I let them.

My daughter is 3 & was have a whole collection of Disney movies that her & our 8 month old love to watch. Her favorites are Toy Story 1.2.3, How To Train Your Dragon, Curious George, Lion King (our lil one is obsessed with this one). We have even gotten the older ones like 101 Dalmations, Beauty & The Beast... our daughter is in love with Pongo haha. Watching these has even helped our daughter with talking more especially when she really gets into the movies. Can't go wrong with Disney movies for the kids, they never get old.

Toy Story1-2-3, Alaaddin and Shrek1-2-3 worked my twin girls! I always watched the movie first time with them and introduced the characters. Sometimes they need guidance. When they were 2.5yrs old they were not interested in finding Nemo but now they are almost 4 they like it. I would also suggest Peter Rabbit from Beatrix Potter.

Amanda - posted on 01/14/2012

The old Disney movies, toy story, lion king, Pocahontas,Hercules, hunchback of notredame, lady and the tramp, cars... Just to name a few

i dont think wrapping kids in cotton wool will stop them from doing what you dont want them to see or hear. they go to pre-k they hear and see behaviour that other kids do. pretending this doesnt happen in the wourld by filtering confuses kids as they are told no by you and yes by other ppl. pg is fine but pg 13 should be just that. that said you cant stop your older children from watching older movies-ie 13 yr old pg 13 and siblings who are say 2,6,9 yrs old who cant watch it, then you shouldnt enforce 13 yr old 9yrold or even 6 yr old to watch a show for a 2 yrold for family time, even if 2 yr old is in bed and you watch pg. my point is you cant sheild any child from the big bad world and as such you can stunt them buy wrapping them up into too much 'cotton wool kids', i was one of those kids who had to stay wraped up till 18 then i had no idea of how real life was. i know many like that as well, it is disrespectful to your child yes be a parent but covering your child from the world is not the way

Daniela - posted on 11/16/2011

I would say before trying to find kids movies , its better that you can filter everything your child is going to watch. We watch some movies but they need to be G not even PG. Even Disney is so full of PG and
PG 13 that
i just don;t let my children to watch it.

My 2 1/2 daughter loves Tangled, Princess and the Frog, and Phineas and Ferb. My 1 1/2 year old son and her love to watch Yo Gabba Gabba and Ruby Gloom together. Personally I love watching Ruby Gloom with them. Its such a cute cartoon.

My oldest who is almost 5 has always loved Cars. He was three months old when we frist watched it on DVD he had been fussing and crying as I tried to get him set up with a bottle but as soon as he heard the music he stopped fussing immediately and watched the whole movie. To this day he still loves to watch Cars and he is all about McQueen & Mater. My Daughter who just turned 3 loves Tinkerbell Like he brother is all about Tinkerbell. She has all three movies and just loves watching them over and over and over again. Aside form those they both like to watch Finding Nemo and WALL-E. I don't know how you feel about Disney movies but my kids seem to enjoy them.

I cannot believe what pingu does to my little girl! Her active little body just goes limp and is mesmerized! And breaks out in a giggle every time the theme music comes on. I think it's easy for her to see with all the black and white, and noise she loves it. Plus I like watching it too, that's super important, lol!

Brittany - posted on 05/21/2011

My daughter gets bored with movies because they are so long. We watch them in half hour segments. The only one she has watched almost all the way through (with plenty of playing while watching) is Monster's INC. She LOVES Boo.

Ponyo is by far my daughter's favorite movie at 19 months. Mostly she likes Mickey but mimics the characters of Ponyo and remebers it well.
