As mentioned, all Mario is good for that age. Also, Cooking Mama has been a hit with the girls of that age.

What gender is em?
We got Wii last summer, right before my son turned 7. He loves it. His favorite games are Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy and some Star Wars and Indiana Jones games.
My daughter, 4, enjoys Wii sports and her Disney Princess game.
Both kids like Wii Fit (which includes silly stuff like ski jump, tight rope, and hula hoop). |

Nah, I'd rather have them playing soccer.

Re: General discussion - Mom and Dad Esq.
Anyone seen Up yet? I thought it was awesome, perhaps the best Pixar film yet,* but my kids were maybe less impressed. Another friend told me he and his kids had the same takes.
* I haven't seen the last two.

I saw it. I loved it (I especially loved the short film before it). My 8yo loved it. My 4yo was scared much of the time, but also seemed to really like a lot of it.
I wouldn't say it's the best ever. I'd probably give that slot to Wall-E, though it depends in part whether you are talking about for kids or adults.
If by "the last two," you mean Wall-E and Ratatouille, you should see them. I think you would really like them both.

I think mine loved it, but when it ended the immediate focus was whether we were going to go swimming.

I really have no good reason for not having seen them yet. The only Pixar movie I don't particularly care for is A Bug's Life.

2. I don't have kids, but I own both of those movies on DVD and love them. The only reason we didn't go to see UP this weekend is my boyfriend hates opening weekend crowds. We'll probably see it sometime next week.

That's the only one I haven't seen.
I didn't like Cars very much, either. The others I loved, and have enjoyed rewatching many times. (There's nothing like a 2yo obsessed with Finding Nemo, let me tell you that....)
The collection of Pixar shorts is excellent, btw.

My nieces (6 & 8) love Wall-E despite the lack of any mermaids, fairies or princesses.
Not Pixar but another fave of the nieces (and adults) is Ice Age. Ice Age 3 comes out this summer. |
