Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Dick Van Dyke is a hero.

I based all my Parenting skills from what I learnt from those films.

Think there are some films here that have been mislabelled.

A lot of the Disney cartoons I think might be classed as Kids films and are timeless and can stand up to many viewings.

I suppose Babe might be a kids film, that can be watched over and over.

Up.

ooooh a squirrel

Not at all -but Mater Bubble Bath is cheating!

fivel goes west ?

So you still love it then.

So far my daughter has abosolutely raped Toy Story 3. We watch that on average 10-15 times a week, not all the way through but she pesters me to put it on, watches a bit then potters off to make some imaginary tea for her teddies. I can see the look on the teddies face, they share my pain, one even ejected it's eyes to stop the toy story 3 torcher!! i cant turn it off whilst she is going about her business, as soon as she hears something that doesnt sound like the noises of sunnyside, panic sets in and the pestering resumes!!

In a bid to curb this infactuated viewing, I added Labyrith to her library, although we have watched this quite a number of times now, never all the way through. sure enough, I hear, 'Labyrinth off, Woody Buzz on'.

Thinking that it could be the allure of Pixar, I went and brought my fav of all Pixar, Wall-E on saturday. To date this has been seen a minimum of 15 times so far and is nearing the fustrating levels that Toy Story 3 is at now.

She has seen Aliens, she loves Aliens, she asks for Aliens ALOT, apparently Aliens is not suitable viewing for a two year old. Grrrrrrrr!!

I am growing the hate the Incredibles.
Despicable me just turned up though, so we will try that tonight.

Well, yes, mainly because it's full of nice cars.

But let's see - the British are established early on as a colonial power, rather casually running India, and all-in-all, loveable eccentrics played by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

The Indians are subserviant and scruffy.
The French are petty, bureaucratic hyperchondriacs (well, the Pariasians are. In the countryside they're scruffy alcoholic peasants on donkeys)
The Italians are delusional and easily distracted.
The Germans are dastardly criminals and overweight buffoons.
The Americans are brash showoffs.
The Scandanavians are obssessed with winter sports.

I seem to recall that there are some Czechs involved as well, no doubt to some similarly stereotypical way.

Then again, Terry-Thomas is in it, playing a cad. To be fair it sends-up the British upper classes quite well, but it's still a film relying entirely on racial stereotypes for its humour.
