Dd has been off with tonsillitis. We've worked our way through our disney back catalogue Grin
Looking for suggestions for films that might be available on demand on sky that we might have missed?

What does your dd love watching? She likes the disney princess type stuff, frozen, Cinderella etc. have watched the new Cinderella film, maleficent not a hit.
Any recommendations? Loved Paddington, but not enjoyed night at the museum, oddly loves watching Harry potter with big bro though Grin has rejected any dinosaur type ones. Am trying to avoid another day of scooby doo...

Thanks

Have you tried any nature documentaries? We started watching that new one with Davina McCall and dd (age 4) was fascinated! And disappointed to learn the next morning that the show was weekly not daily.

Another one to try maybe is Monkey Life which I think is on Sky One - it's a documentary at a monkey world sanctuary. There are lots of different types of monkeys, chimps, apes, marmosets, gorillas etc and the little/baby ones in particular are very very cute. It's easy to drop in and out of, you do sort of get caught up in the stories and it's an easy watch documentary. DS1 (10) was the first to get caught up in it (he usually adores nature programes more along the Steve Backshall Deadly 60 theme) but Tom and Jerry loving ds2 (7) has also become really drawn in, despite not being bothered about nature programmes usually (and ds1 watches lots of them so he's had plenty of chances!).

The dc also liked G Force - very silly film about some gerbils that are secret agents... but good special effects and played quite straight so it worked well.

Hope your dd is beginning to feel much better!

Thanks for the nature suggestions stuff both, we do sponsor a polar bear and snow leopard for them, so they'll probably find all that interesting. She's back to school tomorrow finally! Bless her, she's been wiped out. [having a mild panic at all the jobs I have to catch up on whilst dc3 naps tmrw...] Grin

Thanks all for taking the time to post, I will go through all the suggestions again incase ive missed any. Ds1 and DH are always off to a rugby or footy game of training etc so it's good to have some ideas on stand by for rainy days
