I waited until my daughter was older to watch them, but what does younger brother do as he's in the house too? So he started watching these movies at 3 & 4 and he loves most of them more than her. He's 4 1/2 and she's 7 1/2. He absolutely loves the original Sleeping Beauty and the original Cinderella.

So, these cartoons/movies are inappropriate for 2-3 year olds in your opinion?
I, personally, thought so which is why I waited. My husband put Looney Tunes are the DVR and he likes it, my daughter doesn't. His Swim lessons place plays Tom & Jerry all the time, and I don't care for it because of all the blood and violence, but the kids in there are always staring at the screen like they can't miss a second, and they're all ages.
Then why would you be asking if you think they are fine? What is your concern? Finding Nemo is not T&J.....some individual children might be upset that Nemo is lost....but most kids have no problem.

Because i want to know what other parents think, as that may open my point of view, regardless of which direction i'm leaning towards.
Why is it that no matter what you ask on City-data, someone finds a way to tare it apart and pick a fight?
ever heard of a 'conversation'? You know....listening to what others think and how they view things? even if it conflicts with one's own views and ideas? That's how one learns, and that's what i was trying to do here.

Because most questions are loaded and really gambits to bolster ones preconceived notion.
Why not just come out with the actual issue than dancing around things? No two families or children are the same....without knowing why someone is asking...it's impossible to say if a Disney movie is going to be a fit for that child to watch. A child with separation anxiety might really freak out over Nemo while another thinks it's a fun happy ending movie.
We tried Finding Nemo at age 3.5 or 4, and it was too soon for our twins. They were terrified of the opening sequence, and when we got to the shark we gave up. Then we traumatized them again with the Lion King musical when they were almost five.
We didn't try Disney again for another couple of years, and only watched them when little brother was asleep or elsewhere until he hit five or six. As a result they are all pretty woefully ignorant of a lot of Disney movies that their friends grew up with, so I know not everyone has this experience.
In the meantime, some videos they loved that I could stand to watch, too: Scooby Doo (especially the older ones--the more recent ones are less fun and more likely to be offensive); Animaniacs; Curious George.
