This list should be titled: Movies parents put on repeat for their children.

... And, The Grey Man.

Yeah a more interesting statistic would be total unique streams

For so many reasons, this is the best generation to be an autistic child.

I wonder how many times Shrek was watched by millennials. Thinking back, the move to DVDs was a godsend; the decay of VCRs at the top of the videos would have been a consistency issue.

Cocomelon was in the top 10 of Netflix for like a whole year.

Glad to hear the bee movie kid grew old enough to appreciate Encanto

Hard to believe people spent almost 30 quintillion minutes watching Encanto, but there it is.

I remember babysitting my cousin who was 2yo for a whole summer.

All she wanted to do was watch the same Pixar movie three times a day, every day. She got tired of it around age 4.

I have finding Nemo burned into my brain from my sister's toddlerhood. It would finish and we'd just start it over. For months.

It's minutes viewed really a fair statistic when running times are different?

[–] insomniac@retrolemmy.com 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No but Disney movies are remarkably similar for the most part. There’s some outliers but multiple movies in this list are exactly 102 minutes. Encanto is actually one of the shortest.

So you're saying parents are just throwing up movies on the TV for their kids...

It's pretty incredible that Don't Look Up is on this list. I'm using this as my Friday inspiration that maybe science policy communication IS possible if we learn how to package it.

I've heard of three of these movies...

Thankfully (?) my kids exclusively watch Ninjago, Captain Underpants and Nailed It.

I do remember a time when our eldest was 3 or 4 and he would watch the same movie on repeat over and over. The months he was obsessed with Robots and Planes Fire and Rescue were dark indeed.

Ok but robots is a fucking gem and Robin Williams is a God damn treasure.

Super quotable too!

I remember as a kid having the innate ability to watch the same thing over and over and over again and now we have dataisbeautiful to quantify that

Kids are ruling the streaming media, that's why those companies think they can get away with everything :|
