My nephew was huge on Cars until his attention span went at ten minutes, but it was always the first thing he wanted to watch.

For adults, you can't go wrong with Pixar stuff, but it's hard to tell what the kid will like and I haven't been field testing forever. I could watch The Incredibles and Up over and over again, though.

Wallace and Gromit. Shaun the sheep before bed. calming effect
UP.
Despicable Me
Megamind
Kung Fu panda
Wall-E
Cloudy... Meatballs
Planet 51
Toys stories
Monster incs
Over the Hedge
Charlie Brown specials

I also let the boys watch most episodes of King of The Hill....

Sidenote: Can a six year old handle for the original Star Wars?

Have them watch the classic puppet show Pompel og Pilt and they'll never bother you about anything again

You basically have to see Star Wars when you're that age, otherwise you'll never understand why it's so awesome to so many people.

Also, Pope, you have to show the The Rescuers Down Under. YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN YOU HAVE TO.

Rescuers Down Under was one of my favorites when I was a kid. My dog (a min pin) reminds me of Joanna (McLeach the antagonist's pet monitor lizard).

Also:

Whinnie the Poo.
Bed Knobs and Broomsticks.

Current-ish Kids TV Shows that I watched and liked.

Chowder
Misadventures of Flapjack

The backyardigans is on netflix and is total crap, but enjoyable for younguns.

Oh, shoot! Yeah! Ghibli films!

^ Definitely. "Ponyo" and "My Neighbour Totoro" were big hits with my kids, so much so that we had to take them to Ghibli Museum when we were in Japan. That place is awesome.

I have a 5yo son and these are some of his faves over the years...

Monsters Inc
The Incredibles
Despicable Me
Kung Fu Panda
Toy Story Series
Wizard of Oz
Oz The Great And Powerful
Wreck-It-Ralph
Megamind

He like Ponyo as well but more for the visual appeal. I don't think he had a clue what was going on in that one.

I figure I was under five when I saw the original in the theater. In the fricking 70s. (Fuck I'm old.) And look how I turned out. So no.

My son watched all the old school Star Wars movies starting at 3yo and loves them to this day.

Aladdin is amazing for all ages. Great soundtrack.

My son is going to be 3 in a couple weeks, and he's also totally obsessed with the Cars movies. We also took him to see Planes this summer and he lost his shit. I think that just came out on DVD.

He also loved Wall-E and Up.

Also, if you have Netflix, there's a Cars short on there called Mater's Tall Tales, which I think he likes just as much as the actual Cars movies.

i am a firm believer that all children should watch mr bean (the tv show)
