Help! I can't make up my mind! Looking to give my three kids videos, their ages range from just-turned 4 to 10. My goal in this is to have new material for long road trips (plus decent stuff to have at home.)

Option A: Magic School Bus entire series, $30 price still available - pros- science, nonviolent kids cartoon

Option B: Three different videos, one for each stocking- possibilities include: Brave (DS likes it, I won't let 4 year old watch this yet so this wouldn't be for road trips), Tangled, How to Tame a Dragon, The Lorax, Despicable Me and MegaMind.

Option C: Shaun the Sheep, seasons 1 & 2, currently a lightening deal but its only $3 or so less than their regular price, not a huge savings. Pros on this one- DH and I enjoy it too and all my kids like it, cons- there's no dialogue so it might get annoying on road trips? Might be OK though, too- could probably tune it out.

So, what would be your pick?

Option C
Option A (close second)
Option B (distant third)

Toss up between Shaun and school bus for me. I prefer Shaun when I have to watch. MSB kind of annoys me (no real reason why)

Thank you ladies! I really am torn on this but think that I'll be thankful later for the variety on the MSB series.
