I am interested in acquiring videos for 3-4 year-old pre-schooler with, ideally, the following features:
1) animated cartoons (or new types of animation) that feature ancient history, even based on classical literature, and pre-industrial agricultural communities;
2) but also with lots of action, even song; average episode around 15 minutes, maximum 30 minutes, several episodes per video (I have some animated cartoon videos on ancient Greek history - e.g. the Odyssey, the Spartans -, but they are full-length "movies");
3) downloadable from the internet and transformable into DVD, otherwise mail-order purchase;
4) in English, but also in Spanish, possibly even Italian or Greek.
In other words, videos that are both entertaining, competitive with the likes of Disney Channel on the one hand, and educational, competitive with public network children's programming on the other, and that also feature ancient classics and/or pre-industrial/agricultural themes.
I have tried internet searches, but so far to no avail. Can anyone please point me in the right direction, another person or forum, that I can address my query to, or website that I can visit?
If the ideal does not exist, at least something that comes close.
There is a set about American History called History's Heroes, but the website does not appear to be working.
These are 23 minutes each

Some of this is pretty pricey.
