Help a brother (literally, my actual brother) out?
So I have two tiny nieces and one somewhat less tiny nephew, and because I am doing my part to bring them up right, they LOVE VIDS. Specifically they really, really love Charmax's Mr. Blue Sky WALL-E vid and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gwyn_r's Hold on Tight Rataouille vid and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kuwdora's Love Letter Lilo & Stitch vid.
And those are all AWESOME, FANTASTIC VIDS that I and the other adults in their lives have now seen WAY TOO MANY TIMES. So now we need help, internets. Please, please rec more vids for the six-and-under set.
They get pretty bored by anything that doesn't come from a source they're familiar with, or doesn't at least look like a source they're familiar with--they were reasonably receptive to watching YouTube clips of Fantasia the last time I got tired of replaying the same few vids over and over. (Sadly they were not so into the awesome Gene Kelly vid, although I think I could have Stockholmed them into it if the family reunion had lasted another day or two.)
OTOH, they are young enough that the scary parts of Fantasia are too scary for them, so, for instance, the recent very cool vid by ... somebody ... to Tragic Kingdom, with all the scary/depressing parts of Disney Movies, would not help. They were somewhat upset even by the alligators being sinister in the direction of the hippos.
Please? Internets? Save my brother's sanity and give him some new vids for the next generation of fans to watch? :D

not vids, exactly ...
She also lately has gotten really into various scenes from The Sound of Music that are on YouTube -- So Long, Farewell is an all-time favorite, but The Lonely Goatherd and My favorite Things are up there. (Fair warning: the other night I found myself reenacting So Long Farewell with her; a little Sound of Music is a dangerous thing.)
Oh, and the Pink Glove Dance is a favorite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEdVfyt-mLw).
She also loves *both* actual videos to Bruno Mars' Lazy Song (the one with Nimoy & the one with the monkey masks). Some folks might not think some of the images/lyrics are kid-friendly, though.
(She has a decided preference for live-action over animation, though -- she watches cartoons now, but when she was two or so, she didn't care for them at all.)
