Rainy Day Film for Pre Schooler

Before the hygge crew get on my backs, this film will be after muddy puddles tomorrow. I am having dental treatment and need a plan to entertain two pre schoolers. So I need a movie suitable for a pair of four year olds, somewhat sensitive.

Posting for traffic. Best ideas please. Bonus points for 2d or slow paced.

What about the Julia Donaldson films on iplayer? Gruffalo, Highway Rat etc
Shaun the Sheep Farmageddon is funny
Here Comes the Fire Engine/Tractor/Digger are about 20 mins and on YouTube

The Octonauts long episodes/movies are good, I think there are three of varying lengths starting at 45 mins.

DS ( now 29 ) loved 101 Dalmatian’s , the original cartoon one
He used to ask to watch foundations

I only know the older films , ( bugs life , enchanted as well as Cinderella , sleeping beauty etc ) but Frozen surely appeals to every toddler

Frozen is a firm favourite but deemed too girly from playdate. Bugs life might be worth a shout I can't remember what's scary in it?

Sing 2 was DDs favourite film for a few years, don't know if it counts as slow paced though 😂toy story? Older Disney films like sword in the stone or Peter pan. Depends on how sensitive really. There is a Peppa pig film (not suren if feature length though)

Thanks some good suggestions.

So d
Far my little one has watched:
Cinderella
Frozen
Peter Pan
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
Tangled
Tinkerbell
Cars
The Snowman
The Tiger that Came to Tea
Mogs Christmas

The other boy is very anti Disney or 'girly' and mine is quite sensitive so need something in the middle.

Paddington was a bit too dialogue heavy for my DS1 at 4, you may have more luck! He loved Cinderella because the mice were so silly, but the stepmother might be a bit scary.

Paddington. Watched it with my DD on a rainy Sunday when she was 5. It will always be my favourite rainy day film.

My 3 year old loves all 3 cars movies and Planes which follows a similar story. All available on Disney+
