The Bee movie is such a cute movie. I think I enjoyed it more than JD. 🙂
We don’t have access to Netflix but there are a few programs that JD enjoys watching on DSTV Family:
*Pepa pig and family
*Zig and Sharko (this cartoon is so funny and entertaining. I enjoy watching it myself)
*Mr Bean animated cartoon (JD still dances every time he hears the theme song)
*Grizzy and the lemmings (I LOVE this cartoon. I laugh so much at this. The antics that those lemmings are up to and always working on Grizzy’s nerves is always cracking me up – definitely worth the watch).
*Heidi (I recorded a few episodes for him when we still had DSTV premium)
*Wielie Walie (I recorded a few episodes for him when we still had DSTV premium. I grew up with this program and now JD is watching it 😀 )
Other programs that we’re not watching, but I think are great too:
Paw patrols
Dora the Explorer
Another great movie was Wall-E. JD giggled a few times while watching this.
