If you can handle watching Top Gear every week then three series of Shaun the Sheep should be a skoosh.

3 year old Shaun counisseur in our house - knows all the episodes across the 4 series (we have 4 DVDs so there must be 4) and demands them according to mood. Her fAvourite is the one where he gets a girlfriend, then the car chase one. The movie is brilliant, she was transfixed for 80 minutes.

Get your littleun into gigglebiz on cbbc, it brilliant!

Pocoyo - kinda joint Spanish/English thing. Narrated by Stephen Fry. Our fellow loves it. Quite funny too with Fry's voiceover.

Sarah and Duck is excellent. Roger Allam's laconic narration makes it for me. (For the OP, it's a CBeebies thing, but I think it might be on YouTube.)

Adventure Time
The Regular Show
The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack

Kids like them because they're cartoons, adults like them cos they're funny.

Li'l J & I like Show Me Show Me ,Hey Duggie & Dino paws.
He loves Fireman bloody Sam but fortunately has finally realised that Postman Pat is an incompetent buffon and doesn't watch it any more. 🙂

We also know ALL of Elmo's songs and enjoy Captain Pugwash and the Moomins.

Check out Hedgehog in the Fog......

If he's 2 I wouldn't show him the film yet theres a few dark bits.

Ben and holly is one of the funniest programmes on tv. Peppa pig has a few sly nods to the grown ups but the whole of Ben and holly is a bone dry wit aimed at grown ups hiding in s children's cartoon. Nanny plum and the pompous king are brilliant creations. The wise old elf even does looks to camera in the latest episodes

Ps I'd forgotten about rotten trolls that was great.

All the usual suspects mentioned above + Canimals and miniscule are also great.

Is it modern sanitised Moomins, or old school terrifying Moomins? I went and saw the Babadook at the cinema, it was exactly like 1980s moomins in places.
