Short children's films..

[BaBaBaBoomBoom]

Dd has recently got into short films, so I'm looking to get her a few that hopefully aren't Christmassy!
We currently have
Lost and found
Father Christmas
The gruffalo
The snowman (and snow dog)
2x Spider-Man's
Stick man
The first snow of winter
Second star to the left

Any other brilliant ones in missing?

The Wallace and Gromit ones - A Grand Day Out, A Close Shave and The Wrong Trousers.

The Forgotten Toys (with Joanna Lumley). Perhaps a little bit Christmassy, because they get thrown out on Boxing Day. I think it's made by the same people that made Second Star to the Left.

The people that made The Snowman, also made one called The Bear. I didn't really like it (It was on over Christmas) but your dd might.

I think you can get The Very Hungry Caterpillar on dvd as well, but I might be wrong.

Red's Dream (Pixar) is lovely.

Look at The Literacy Shed for other short films, they all have teaching ideas, but are often enjoyable to just watch. Pick carefully- the suitability will depend on her age.

There's another Wallace and Gromit, A Matter of Loaf and Death. My DD (3) finds the three Herd mentioned a bit scary but doesn't mind the baker one or the Curse of the Were Rabbit.

The Farmer's Llamas is DS's current favourite.

Room on the broom

My little boy is the exact opposite, BeardedBear. He absolutely adores A Grand Day Out, and The Wrong Trousers.
I have watched them sooo many times now... I'll miss them when he's a big teenager, and doesn't want to snuggle up and watch Wallace and Gromit with his mum!

We've not watched them for ages, herd, not since DD started taking an interest in the tv. DS loved those ones!

Hi everyone,

We're going to sweep this great thread into films, please get in touch OP if this is a problem for you.

A Charlie Brown Christmas (easter beagle is probably similar length abs seasonal!)

Any collection of Pixar short films - they're all suitable for littl'uns. We are huge Wallace & Gromit fans in this house, and some of the Aardman shorts are great too (just be sure to watch the whole DVD as some of the 'vox pop' ones get a bit fruity language-wise). And DVD collections of old-school stuff like Bagpuss, Mr Benn and Ivor the Engine are great - all the episodes are about 15 minutes so they don't feel too short, and are less frenetic than the modern stuff. I wish the Lost and Found team would make more Oliver Jeffers adaptations - it's such a beautiful film.

Ivor the Invisible
The Last Polar Bears
Morph might appeal.

What about all the Pixar and Disney Animated Shorts? They are very short though.

Have you heard of LIAF? Lots of cinemas that have a Saturday Kids Club do regular programmes of short films - the latest one was today but they come round every couple of months or so.

My DD(2) loves the Minion short films. Especially the one where they're fighting over a banana. Height of comedy, apparently!

This is so discriminatory, I'm surprised no one has brought it up. Tall children enjoy films as well.

Disgusted!
