My just turned 3 year old has only seen one movie and that was Madagascar 2 and it didn't hold her interest.

Any recommendations on movies (DVD) that are shorter and/or would hold her attention?

Anything Disney. The old ones with catchy tunes like Zippity Doo Dah.

I think the Toy story movies are great. I know DD was watching them when she was 3. She was a buzz lightyear fan.

She liked the Barbie movies a lot too. Can't remember how young she started with those. Mermadia was a favorite as was the Pegasus one.

Never did like Sesame street, much to my dismay.

Thanks everyone.

I record things from the TV all the time geared at children, I just wanted to introduce her to 'movies'.

Sounds like I will pick up Toy Story for her.

Any more 'movie' suggestions?

Disney's Babes in Toyland with Annette Funicello. (My absolute fave childhood film!) Just watch out for the 'Forest of No Return musical segment' with the ominous dancing trees, could be a bit scary for her.

My nephew age 3 and niece age 2 love WALL*E, Ratatouille and Cars. They used to watch Monsters Inc but my sister said they started to have bad dreams.

My three year old loves Nemo the best. She loves Toy Story too. And surprisingly she is watching Monsters v Aliens with her big brother. Not so sure she will love it like she does Nemo.

My DS loved the Winnie the Pooh videos at that age. They used to have the Winnie the Pooh Show videos, so there were 3 shows (20 min. each or so) per tape. I don't know if they even make them any more, but he about wore his favorites out!

It looks like they have a more limited selection, now, but THIS is pretty similar to what I was talking about (Click on this for link)

Jujubigdog...yes, I can hardly believe it myself! Jilian just turned 3 a little over a week ago!! Time flies!!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have made a list and will see what is available next time we go.

Today when we went I wanted to rent Toy Story and Ratatoullie but they were all out. So instead we rented "Bee Movie" and "Finding Nemo" and "Max & Ruby: Max's Halloween". Last one is a TV show but she loves them and it's Halloween theme so she's all for that. lol

After she watches them, I'll get her 'review' and let you guys know.

Glad to hear the update - and I'm doubly glad she's enjoying some of the recommendations. :-)
