Ah yes. My 2 year old also really likes Stickman! Which is about an hour and is really very slow. I find it kind of tense (the whole floating away from his family!) but he loves it.

The Gruffalo movie is a favorite in our house. Amazon also has the Gruffalo's Child, Room on the Broom and Stick Man. They so well made. Our daughter loves the books and now loves the movies. She is 2.75

Our 2.75 yr old is a devoted fan of Cocomelon and Little Angel.

I sure hope all of the above posters are using headphones! Headphones are required!

Headphones OR on silent.

My kid wouldn’t use the headphones at 2, so she wasn’t allowed sound.

At 2.5 my DD (who got almost no screen time at home) could easily watch 1-2 hours on an airplane. Now at 3.5 we don't even try taking the Ipad away and just let her watch the whole time.

Yes, that is implied. And not the point of the discussion.

Get a night flight and give them kiddie gummy melatonin. Works miracles.

mom of 2.5 year old. APPS!

get the dave and ava app - videos that are addictive plus actual learning games, trace the letters, pick the numbers etc. she loves it.
also she likes to do learning games and It's amazing to watch her with strategy and match games. We just did a 7 hour flight to Scotland and back and the games did the trick. She only watches movies for 10-15 mins tops. search "toddler games" in the app store and you'll have plenty

Baby bum and mother goose on Netflix and apps like fish school.
