What short films do your children like?

[PsammeadPaintedTheLion]

By short I mean a similar length to the Gruffalo film. We've got that, the Gruffalo's child and Room on the Broom. Does anyone know of any similar ones in terms of length and target age group?

The Snowman and the Snowman and the Snowdog go down well in our house (2 1/2 yr old).

Oh yes!

Lost and Found
Fireman Sam and the Great Fire of Pontypandy

we put on episodes of things on netflix or amazon prime...

films theres the short toy story ones?

Thanks!

Fireman Sam and the Great Fire of Bloody Arseing Pontypandy. 1hr.

Toy Story 3 is 1 hr 45.

Do anyone's childen like the short Wallace and Gromit films?

Lost and found!

Anything involving sodding Thomas the tank

Going on a bear hunt?

Bear hunt is a film? Wow!

My 4yo enjoys the wallace and gromit short films

It's very short, only 2 and a half mins long but DS loves it for the dog. It's on youtube though so watch out for the comments as always

my dd's 6 and 2 love wallace and gromit.

also some of the older Disney are only about an hour long eg dumbo

The Angel and the Soldier Boy is lovely, quite similar in style to The Snowman.

The Mousehole Cat is also gorgeous, quite old fashioned animation style, but well loved by my kids.

We have some Wallace and Gromit, but my younger one finds them a bit too scary, especially The Wrong Trousers.

We have an ancient DVD of Beatrix Potter animated tales too, which I love.

I think Lost and Found is beautiful, but my children don't like it as much as I do.

Father Christmas is a good one, but maybe a bit Christmassy for everyday consumption.

I think it's called Blue Umbrella and was a short on the Blu - ray of Monsters' University. Made our dd cry first time and we've probably watched it more than the main film. Umbrella has adventure in the City. Mild peril and romance involved.

One of my younger cousins used to love First Snow of Winter.

It has been years since I last watched it though, so I don't remember an awful lot about it.

Oh and DS loves those musical Tony Scott George DVDs - Wheels on the Bus etc. they're about half an hour long, and Tony Scott George isn't annoying or creepy which is a boost!

The problem with lost and found is the sea monster - every time DS is indignant because it's not in the book!

we have all the Christmas versions of the animated films - Merry Madagascar and the Christmas Ice Age and Shrek the Halls - all about 20mins long and great for small children with short attention spans

The Forgotten Toys is another that I have not seen for years, but I remember it being quite nice.
