DVDs for a 3 year old.. (help)

Hi all..

My nephew is 3 and has really got into watching videos/dvds lately.. and with christmas coming up i'd really appreciate if some parents could recommend me some dvds to buy him for christmas

I know he's into bob the builder.. and Tweenies and things like that.
But he doesn't have much Disney..

What would you recommend for someone his age?

Thanks alot!

I think Lion King would be a safe bet for a boy toddler. The other would be Toy Story; however, that would cost more.

My 3 year old son is obsessed with Spongebob Squarepants. That's all he ever wants to watch.

Toy Story might be pretty good for him.

Wiggles, ViggieTales, and Disney stuff should do.

The kids videos that rent most at my video store are the Scooby-Doo DVDs, without a doubt.

Magic School Bus does quite well too.

Heck, I'm at the age where I love it. I got Seasons 1 & 2 for my kids for Christmas and I'm looking forward to opening them more than they would (if they knew they were getting them )

Back on topic....Don't forget Monsters, Inc. & A Bug's Life. My nephew throws a fit if he sees someone take those DVD's out of the player. Also, you might want to consider Thomas the Tank Engine DVD's. They were a staple in my family.

My 3-year-old daughter's favorite DVD of the moment is Shrek 2.

  • ANY Pixar flick.
  • Most animated Disney flicks that aren't "direct to video" [or even the animated Disney Treasure volumes].
  • The Muppet Show.
  • Bear In the Big Blue House.
  • Some of the PBS line [Dragon Tales, Clifford, etc.].
  • Peanuts.

I'm not a parent, but I would recommend My Neighbor Totorro.

My NOW four-year-old nephew has been pretty into DVDs since he was two. He always loves Spongebob, Bob the Builder, and used to love The Wiggles. Believe it or not, he can never get enough of anything Spider-Man or of Batman: The Animated Series. My one year old nephew always stays glued to Shrek and Shrek 2, anytime it's playing. He will sit there for HOURS.

Those Boohbahs are bizarre, someone was tripping when they came up with them.
My son [just turned two] doesn't watch much tv, but when he does, he likes the Wiggles and Dora the Explorer [actually he loves Dora].
He never got into Baby Einstein, but he does like the sample clip of Curious Buddies that's on his Dora dvd [we rented one of the CB dvd's from netflix, and it was cute, but they're too short and they're aimed younger than him.]
Harold and the Purple Crayon, Schoolhouse Rock?

I am a parent, and I'd recommend My Neighbor Totoro, but I have a daughter, so it's a slam dunk. I'm not sure a boy'd be as taken.
