We love Netflix and have a family movie night every Saturday where I let the kids pick a movie to watch together. I think the last one was SantaBuddies? With the puppies? We will continue our tradition in the coming year. Thanks!

As a mother of an autistic boy, we are always toting around a mp3, dvd players, notebooks and phones to occupy our son during “waiting” times. Having Netflix would be great as we could link him to so many great movies.

I am an educator and a grandma. As both, I use your site quite frequently. Both of my grandchildren are under 4 but love animated movies. Daniel Tiger is a favorite along with Sesame St. and Sprouts.
