video library

i'm trying to put together a list of movies to have at my house for our kidlets and the movies i keep thinking of that i remember when i was a kid seem like they're for older children. things like labyrinth and the dark crystal are probably too intense for little kids... so does anyone have suggestions for videos to get for ages 3-5 that won't make mom and dad want to beat themselves to death? thanks!

I don't think Labyrinth is too intense for little kids.  DD is 2 and she LOVES it.  We also really like:

Return to Oz

The Last Unicorn

The Secret of NIMH

Charlotte's Web (the cartoon)

Alice in Wonderland ('85 version)

The Neverending Story

Hugga Bunch

Any of the Muppets movies

The Care Bears movies

Pete's Dragon

And, sue me, I like Dora. lol

really? i'm so relieved! we made a cousin (7) cry watching an old episode of star trek, so maybe i'm being over-sensitive. you're listing all my favorite movies. thank you!

Oh, yeah!  She loves it when the Fire Gang starts pulling off their limbs.  She totally cracks up!  As you can tell, we have a lot of "darker" movies and she thinks they're fun.  I'm guessing it's because that's what she was introduced to so it seems normal for her.
