Children's DVD collection

33 replies

Youwontbreakmysoul · 14/09/2022 20:21

I am looking to start a little DVD collection for my dd (she's nearly 2). So far she's only watched short bits of tv like Postman Pat and the waffle dog programme on cbeebies and the teletubbies but she's really enjoyed them. I was just wondering what DVDs (classic and newer ones) were popular with your dcs (and even you when you were young) both at that age and as they got a bit older. I've picked up in the charity shops so far:
101 dalmatians
A tweenies Christmas one
Life size
Finding Nemo
Paddington 1 and 2
A few of the Mary Kate and Ashley films
Mary Poppins
I was just wondering if anyone had any more classic ones that would be good. Not sure if it helps but she is quite girly (likes barbie and pink etc)
My mum also has a vhs at her house so if you can think of any videos that's great too because dd can watch them at hers

@Huckleberries73 I've avoided Peppa Pig for this very reason! I can't stand it! The majority of things I've bought for her have ended up being older and I remember a lot of them from when I was young so at least I know what I'm letting myself in for!

@Youwontbreakmysoul , my Gdd also loved it from about 3 - only nursery staff reported (amid a lot of amusement) that she’d been saying, ‘Heil Hitler!’ complete with raised arm!

Funnily enough my little Gdd from only about 2/12 loved the Emma with Kate Beckinsale. Asked for it umpteen times.

Now 7, dd and I have weaned her on to the BBC P & P - makes a change from some of the utter trash she finds on Netflix.
