Disney Pixar Movies

I have begun the list of the best movies for 4 year olds with Disney Pixar as they have probably produced the movies my son loves the most. His favorite Disney Pixar movies include Wall-E, Toy Story and Cars. He preferred Cars to Cars 2 as some of the storyline in Cars 2 was a little difficult for him to follow.

Disney Pixar make great family movies. Its extremely clever how their movies can appeal to the different age groups at different levels.

Other great Disney Pixar movies include Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc.
