Most recent kid movies are like this, I think. They're geared more to seven or eight year olds. For less violent, I recommend Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. They're wonderful. Also, perhaps the original Wallace and Gromit trio. Other than that, though, I'd do a daily diet of the better PBS shows: Sesame Street, Fetch, Sid the Science Kid, Word Girl, Word World, Martha Speaks, where ever his interests lie. 5yo Drake loves Cyberchase and Animalia. Not me. I can't discern good content in them, as in the others. You could also get Sesame Street Old School and The Muppet Show on dvd from the library. Good luck with the tonsils. I assume the ones coming out are Little Guy's, not yours. Bolt had a scary part near the end where Drake sat on my lap and I had to repeatedly whisper that everything was going to be all right.

Was Bolt better? I'm looking for movies for the upcoming tonsillectomy recovery and other than some Thomas the Train and Muppet Shows, I'm at a loss for something new, movie-wise. He's 4.5 years old, loves Cars, Toy Story and parts of The Christmas Story. It'd be nice if Bolt was one to rent/own for the week of enforced quiet time. Ugg. I'd love any recommendations.
