Toddler movies or long running program

in Toddlers: 24 Months+
We are traveling for easter and I would like to show a long movie or program for my toddlers. [Once we are driving, I can't reach the device to start a new program.] So I'm looking for a toddler movie that runs for longer than 60 minutes. Hopefully something that runs closer to 90 minutes or longer.

I was thinking Disney's cars or toy story, but I'm not sure if there are scary parts and I would prefer to find something a little educational. Any ideas?

    Honestly short shows keep DD's attention longer.  We have a bunch of shows uploaded on DD's Nook and she usually just plays the same one over and over again until I get annoyed with hearing the same one and then I turn it to another.  There m

    We used DVDs with multiple episodes on them, bc like pp said, they are better for holding attention.  A lot of them have a "play all" option on them.  As for movies, ds really likes Rio.

    DS cannot sit through a long movie. He can barely sit through a 30 minute program. When we go on road trips I buy DVD's that have multiple episodes on them. The length of the DVD is 60-90 minutes but the actual shows are much shorter. I tried the Cars mov

    My son is almost 2 and Peppa Pig or Max and Ruby hold his attention the best.  Maybe download a few of those that can last a while.

    The Lorax is DS's absolute favorite movie.  He also loves Finding Nemo and Toy Story.  Finding Nemo has a few parts that we explained the first few times through - where Nemo's mom is killed and when the shark trie

    The original Cars movie is more tame than Cars 2, but my DS loves them both. He also enjoys Walle and Finding Nemo. The other DVD we bought was a Mickey Mouse collection, it has 3 shows, 30 minutes each so you could play all for the hour and a half. Th

    DS loves Toy Story, Cars, incredibles (might be a little scary), & finding Nemo. Nemo would be a great option.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have a kindle, so I don't think I have a 'play all' option in the videos. But I agree that my sons, particularly the youngest would probably like watching shorter cartoons.

    My son (almost 2 1/2) will watch Finding Nemo, but gets a little scared during the shark scene.  As for shows, he will watch DVDs of Yo Gabba Gabba or Thomas the Train (possibly the most boring show ever created).

    We just went on vacation and I had Curious George 2 and Toy Story on the ipad.  He loves them.  It really was a life-saver.
