Okay, I have a two year old boy.  He loves Elmo, Tigger, and wheels on anything.

I have also realized in the last few days that we don't own a single toddler movie that passes the Bechdel test.

What's that you say? Toddlers shouldn't be watching TV at all? Yes, but I don't have a maid or a cook and sometimes things need to get done. Sometimes he's sick and the movies are the best distraction. Sometimes I'm sick and a movie is all I can manage.

But here's the thing, I've been reading about the hidden brain and how unconscious bias is formed through sheer repetition of pattern and exposure.  How this results in little kids having really racist and sexist attitudes because they learn, on an under-consciousness level the patterns of racism and sexism that permeate society before they learn that we have been trying to fight those patterns.  Its like the language they pick up the school yard, whether we want them too or not.

Don't think that racism and sexism are everywhere? well lets go back to that point that I have no kids movies, none, that pass the Bechdel test.  If there was a Bechdel test for minorities, (2 people of color, that talk to each other, not about white people), my hodgepodge kids movie collection would fail that too.

Help! Please, Please, Please, can anyone out there help me fix this situation! I have Netflix, it shouldn't be that hard. 

Here is a list of movies/TV shows that I have watched (but don't own) that are kid appropriate and pass Bechdel:

Chicken Run
A Bug's Life
The Last Unicorn (maybe)
Matilda

Lilo and Stitch 

The Incredibles
