Hi -- Sesame Street videos are very entertaining and gentle for the tiny crowd. They're also helpful if your toddler is learning English. Nickelodeon puts out some nice videos for the toddler crowd, too, under the "Nick Jr." brand. I don't think full-length movies are suitable for toddlers. I've never known a 2-year old to want to sit still that long. This will change, though, by your child's 4th birthday ... but then, the list of good things to watch will change, too. I hope this helps, --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

DS loved the Wiggles movies at 2yo. One was an animated one of them in space and the other was the magician one. It was a full-length feature film. His first movie he sat through was Monsters, Inc., at about 2yo. The animation must have been what got him. Didn't scare him at all. |

I think it depends on the kid, and how much TV they've seen in general. Ollie doesn't watch TV. When we rented "Finding Nemo," soon before his second birthday, he loved it -- for about ten minutes a day. -- Sara "What people do all day? Mayor Fox. Bunny! Bunny! Hop! Bunny! Bunny! Bunny!

I agree, but the statement that movies are not suitable for toddlers was such a sweeping statement, I had to throw in my experience. FWIW, I don't think Finding Nemo is a good movie for toddlers. It moves too slow and the colors aren't vibrant. DS never had any interest in it. You have to have something with lots of color and action. Monsters, Inc. is good. |

At two years old, the girls liked Sesame Street Sing Yourself Silly and
anything Barney. My girls didn't really start sitting and watching a full-length movie until they were 3-4 years old and it had to be fast moving and some music thrown in. I found that 1/2 hour type videos worked well with the girls. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "Harjinder" wrote in message om...

The videos which keep her attention the longest a Maisy (her current favorite, but there's not a huge amount of talking in them) Sesame Street--my recommendation if you're trying to teach English Wiggles Blue's Clues She also still loves Baby Einstein videos, but those have very little talking. -- Jodi SAHM to Oliver (3 years, 8 months) & Arwen (18 months) |

DD (almost 3) loved Shrek when she was almost 2.5 and happily sat through Shrek2 at the cinema a couple of months ago. Luke loved Shrek at 2yo :-). Hunter didn't even sit through cartoons at 2yo. All kids are different in how much TV they like to watch and I don't think it has much to do with how much they are exposed to, at least it didn't seem to make a difference in my two. Hunter will watch a movie now but he hardly ever asks to watch TV. Luke could watch TV all day long and is always turning the thing on. -- Nikki |

"I don't think Finding Nemo is a good movie for toddlers. It moves too

Is this movie appropriate for a 2 year old? hmmm...I have to tell you we always skip the "mother and eggs getting killed" scene and for a long time skipped the "Bruce goes nuts" scene. For my two year old, Nemo always begins with "first day of school!" jojo |
