Part of having young kids is the excuse to watch some of your favourite cartoons growing up… right? It’s quite funny how the hubs and I each have our own agenda when it comes to what the Little Monkey watches. Of course we have our favourite Disney cartoons but there’s some old school stuff that we had both forgotten about. That is until we stumble upon them as we surfed the Little Monkey’s Netflix profile. She may like Dora, Diego and Dinosaur Train but Netflix has some stellar old school suggestions for her as well. Clearly Netflix knows the hubs and I well because some of the recommendations were our faves growing up!
Disclosure : I am part of Netflix Canada’s Stream Team and get perks as part of my association, but as always, opinions are always totally mine!
Am I the only one who grew up watching the claymation Pingu? As you know I grew up on a lot of British television so Pingu was a 5 minute clip between cartoon sets and I’d watch them gleefully as soon as I came home after school, with a glass of ICE COLD Tang in hand. Another favourite of mine is Fireman Sam and of course the fabulous Care Bears. Netflix makes it easy for me to share some of my faves with the Little Monkey and anything she doesn’t like (hello… Clifford!!) I’ll wait to test out on Baby Boy!
With all the British cartoons and movies we watch, no wonder friends often comment on the Little Monkey’s ever so slight British accent! DOh! Now if only Netflix would bring in some Jetsons, Woody Woodpecker, Gummy Bears and Yogi Bear….
We’ve got a little giveaway that’s sure to please many a Netflix loving Canadian family, enter below to win a six month subscription to Netflix Canada! Don’t forget that if you’re a first time user you’ll get an additional free month when you sign up. We’ll pick the winner on June 13th. Don’t forget to tell us what your favourite old school cartoon is!
