S/O sad kid movies: What are some not-sad ones?

[mypunkinpie]

Preparing for a very long trip in Sept. Last night I bought a portable DVD player for DS but I don't have any kiddy DVD's. Like, zero. What are some of your favorite? PLEASE NO SAD DEATHS!

Oh, he's turning 2 next week and loves stuff with wheels right now: motorcycles, cars, bicycles, tractors, lawn mowers...

I agree with shows. Dora is a huge winner at that age. Sophia also loves Jake and the neverland pirates. And Curious George.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs wasn't sad.

[LLL]

I don't think noah sat through a movie at that age. He did enjoy Bob the Builder and Handy Manny. that might be good given your ds' interests

I can't remember it entirely but I think Milo and Otis was happy.

Ditto the shows recommendations vs movies. I'd do sesame street and blues clues for sure. My kid will also sit & watch a shorter video on repeat like crazy (see: cookie monster's version of Call Me Maybe), so try downloading some videos like that, too.

DD's favorite right now is The Jungle Book, but Caillou was awesome when we drove 9 hours a few weeks ago. Toddler coma was successfully induced.

My girls have loved Yo Gabba Gabba and Wonderpets. Right now, they both like the Backyardigans and Super Why.

For movies, the most popular ones for my two-YO with zero sad deaths are Monsters Inc., Wall-E (he gets hurt but is okay), and Shrek. The only death there is the bad guy who gets eaten by the dragon at the end, and it happens fast and is played as funny, not sad or scary. There's one death at the end in A Bug's Life, but it's the evil grasshopper, so it's not really a sad one.

Cars 1 doesn't have any deaths, and if he likes vehicles, that's probably a good one!

In our rotation is Wall-E, Cars, Toy Story 1,2, and 3, the Shrek movies, Madagascar 1 & 2, Monsters Inc and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dvds.

Everything else we have tried has been too scary or boring.

The new Winnie the Pooh is awesome, I'd totally watch it even if DD wasn't around.

Her favorite shows are The Wiggles, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Super Why. The wiggles always wins though, I think she's got a thing for Anthony lol, when she wants to watch it she grabs the remote brings it to me and says "Aminy! Aminy"

My dd's favorite right now is Rio. She could watch that movie all weekend on repeat and never stop.

not sad but does have birth scenes.

I agree, Rio is good and not sad if you don't think about it too much.

Pete´s Dragon!

[wrathofkuus]

I cried at Rio.

One of my favorite tv shows for Logan is curious George. He can watch it all day over and over and laughs his head off every single time.

My kids love Despicable Me (because the minions are so incredibly cute). Also, they enjoy Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2, Cars 1 and 2, Finding Nemo, Tangled, Robin Hood (Disney's), and Lion King.

For tv shows on dvd, they enjoy the Dora with the friendship bracelets, the Dora with the mermaids, the Dora where she's a real princess, and the Diego with fierce animals.
