After our 15+ hour drive with the kids, I am even more thankful for modern technology, MP3 players and portable DVD players. Technological manna, people. We have a great collection of kid movies for road trips, and a big favorite for both kids is Blue's Big Music Movie. It has all the fun problem-solving features of a Blue's Clues episode as the usual crew gets ready to put on a big music show - BUT - it also has a segment on composing with none other than Ray Charles as "G-Clef!" Mr. Charles gives Steve directions as he dances on a huge staff and a piano, playing around with pitches until he finds the melody that works the best. It's fantastic!
I love this movie because it's long - 78 minutes, which is fabulous for a long car ride - and engaging. It never fails to entertain, and I love hearing my kids shouting answers to questions on the show. If you are gearing up for summer road trips, I highly recommend adding this to your playlists. What are your must-have movies and music for travel?
