Good movie for a 5 year old boy (DVD)

[IHateMyJob2004]

Going on a long trip to visit grandma. I need a new movie for my son to watch during the drive. Any suggestions?

We already have a bunch but I'm sure a good one can be weeded out. I'm essentuially hoping that some here with 5 year old boys can tell me what their kids are into right now.

Thanks!

EDIT: Off the top of my head, we have Up, Cars, Polar Express and Wall-E. Two of those are big names so I can tell you that we have them and that he likes them.

My son loves Cars, it's not exactly new but...

I was hoping to get movie ideas for 5 year olds, not movie ideas by 5 year olds.

Thanks Pantslegz for an acutally valid answer.
My sons loves Cars but has seen it many many times. Cars 2 comes out this summer I think. I can't wait to take my son to see it.

lol at the madness suggestions above

What kind of shows he usually watch on TV? My 5 y/o loves Phineas and Ferb, and I admit sometimes I got a kick of watching it with him too ^_^

dude there's millions. Anything Pixar. Anything Disney. Anything made by Nickelodeon.... the list goes on and on. Picking out movies that kids will like is about the easiest thing in the world: animated? funny sidekick? run-time 90mins?

Here are a few that i can think of:

Ben 10
Clone Wars - Star Wars
Almost any dog movie, current fav Shilo, previous Snow Dogs
Squeakal?

Also: Hayao Miyazaki films.

Not sure if your kid would like those movies, but I think I would have when I was 5 (I grew up on Disney).

Classic cartoons. You can download a bunch off the web, and he most likely hasn't seen any of them.

My five year old nephew has been liking My Neighbor Totoro or something like that lately.

Greast. This thread doubles as a discussion on movies for a 5 year old and as a discussion on movies for a bachelor party.

My 4 year old son loves Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, and Spongebob for T.V. shows.

Also Toy Story, Ice Age, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, and the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies.

My 4 year old boy loves Cars, Toy Story I & II, The Incredibles, and any thing with Thomas the Train.

My son and nephew liked this movie http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Hunters.../dp/B001U3D88M. We rented it from Redbox, otherwise we would have never heard of it.
