3girls4me Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 You are cracking me up! I'm not sure my husband can endure "Let it Go" more than once on that trip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 We just watched "A Smile As Big As The Moon" w/ John Corbett and we all loved it. I love "Searching for Bobby Fisher." "My Father's Glory" is fun (although subtitled). Although I may be the odd one out, but I'd say don't watch any movies. We traveled a ton when I was a kid and we had so much fun reading, playing games with each other, watching scenery, etc. Such good memories.

Storygirl Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Also, the American Girls movies, and Barbie -- there are a lot of those. Honestly, though, on the way to Disney I would focus on Disney films, especially any that the girls have not seen yet, so that they will be familiar with the characters they may meet.

Luanne Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm probably the odd one out, but I'd never let a 4 year old watch Harry Potter.... maybe not even the 7 year old, but that is just me. (especially not the ones rated PG13) I don't think they were intended for young children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(especially not the ones rated PG13) I don't think they were intended for young children. Yeah, I wouldn't do HP for age 4. I got on a roll with thinking about what my girls like to watch. The ending of Enchanted might be too intense for a 4 yo too, but I think the others I listed are all okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Any Disney movie to get them excited about the characters that they will meet! I have three girls, just about the same ages as yours (mine are 10, 7, and 3). Maybe some of the non-princess ones....Robin Hood, The Fox and The Hound, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applethyme Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Doris Day or Esther Williams movies Snowball express Pollyanna Summer Magic I will often buy tv series they like such as Magic School bus or I Dream of Jeannie.

sewingmama Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Well if it were my kids the line up would be The Lego Movie Frozen Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs How To Train Your Dragon interspersed with breaks to sing numerous renditions of Let It Go and Everything Is Awesome Repeat and recycle till we get there All of the Ice Age movies are popular here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Academy Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Disney movies! Any movie with no annoying or repetitive theme songs. No Lego movie! Everything is awesome.... Sorry Frozen, you'd be out for 11 hour car ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busymama7 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I know you asked for movies but I just wanted to mention that we have found long car trips happier for everyone when we do more audio books than movies. The adults especially the driver can only hear the movie(and song!) and we find that more annoying than enjoyable. With a book everyone can listen and participate. We do alternate though as the movie holds the youngest ones attention better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids LOVE the other three so maybe I need to get Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (I loved the book but have never seen the movie because I was worried they ruined it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
