We intend to have ds's 6th birthday party in the garden, but need to have a fall-back in case of bad weather. Can anyone suggest a DVD that would delight 5-6yo (mostly 5s, he's one of the oldest in his class)?

Isn't Dr Who a bit scary? DH watches it, and I wouldn't actually thank anyone for showing it to my 6 y.o. (V. nearly 7).

Dr Who was a kids programme whe I was a child, but since it's comeback in the last couple of years, I think it's more adult really.

Dr Who? Star Wars? Surely too complex and frightening for 5-6yos, or am I being old-fashioned?

OTOH, 3yo dd is fascinated by Monsters Inc, and they're both utterly captivated by Toy Story 2 (I don't have TS1). And I need an excuse to watch Incredibles anyway, so I'll try that too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I wasn't sure whether to get something very new, or something that they would have seen and probably liked. I guess they won't be old enough to be snobbish about seeing something 'old'.
