What are the best cartoons for toddlers?

I have a 3 year old and one the way, I'm not really sure which cartoon to use, Spongebob says the words stupid and poop, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers show too much action, like fighting with swords.

What kind of cartoons don't have villians or things like this?

    well a lot of cartoons have "naughty words" (as my toddlers call them) like poop and stupid. Which is upsetting to me as a parent. The only tv shows my 2 year old kids watch are Tom and Jerry (which have a lot of action but it is funny and they love mice and kitties.) they also watch Backyardigans (it doesnt have anything bad) and elmo, Barney and word world. Elmo and Barney are their favorite. (mine too because they use appropriate words and let the kids interact with the tv) they sometimes watch Dora or Go Diego Go.
    All of those are educational, fun and interesting cartoons for little kids my toddlers ages. (twins who are 2)

    Cartoons are hard to find now-a-days. I agree with you completely.

    Try the PBS channel. During they day they have what they call PBS Kids. All educational kids shows, most are cartoons and Sesame Street too. My 3 year old loves Word World, Super Why and Arthur.

    Thomas the Tank Engine, anything from Pixar

    Well, it’s not a cartoon, but Sesame Street is my personal favorite. It has interesting characters and is very educational, but kids still love it! A few other good shows for young kids are Blues Clues and The Wonder Pets.

    Also, I am a fan of the Baby Einstein DVDs for infants/toddlers. They are probably a little young for your 3 year old, but they really are wonderful.

    I have 3yr old and a 4yr old and they both love Diego, Dora, Yo Gaba Gaba, Max and Ruby and the Wonderpets. They are all good shows that are educational.
