Rainy Day Film for Pre Schooler

[ShareyBobbins]

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.

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

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

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.

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

There are a number of Thomas the Tank engine feature length films available on Netflix and or Amazon.

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.

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)

Yes seen all these 😅

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?

We love Moana here!

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

'I'm just a little bit, in the big blue sea...'

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

Toy story or sing

Sadly we don't have I player. We've seen some of the Julia Donaldson ones too. They are good.

Came to say the same about the Julia Donaldson adaptations. Each one is around 30mins long i think but if you watch on iplayer, you could run two together very easily. DD1 has been at home with D&V and these have been a lifesaver whilst I've been trying to get breastfeeding established with a 3week old newborn in the mix!

If he likes Cars, then definitely Cars 2 and Cars 3, and the two Planes Movies. Also Finding Nemo is a total classic.

The Tinkerbell movies are lovely.

I would go for Planes / Planes fire and rescue - both great!
Peter rabbit went down well when mine were younger and caught both watching it again the other day - even though now both older!
Trolls is fun but may be a bit hyper?
Secret life of Pets?
Octonauts films
Animal-based options always good if trying to please boys and girls I reckon?

And yes cars 2 and 3 if you've not seen. 3 much better than 2, and we've watched them A LOT!!

Mighty pups movie on paramount via prime

Snow White, Paddington, My Neighbour Totoro

Lion king

Babe or Finding Nemo 😊

I came on the reccomend the Julia Donaldson ones but I see you don't have iplayer. Not sure if they are on prime or netflix?

Paw patrol movie is awful imo but I've never met a 4 year old who doesn't love it!

Sing and sing 2 here. Mine adore them and every other child that has visited will happily join in. Really good.
