What are you favorite [family friendly] videos on youtube. Can be funny, inspirational, etc. We're looking for entertainment on youtube since TV is quite dull on the weekends.

Toni, I once found the entire TV broadcast of the original live production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, with Julie Andrews, from the 1950s. I can't seem to locate it now, alas, but there are segments from it. It's amazing to realize how assured and charismatic Andrews was even at that age, which was something like 21. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it's worth watching even in fragments.

Not Necessarily young child friendly, but I love this show, it's a Web series.

The story behind me loving this clip is that my family doctor, moonlights on the weekend as a rockstar- my parents ran into him at a bar where his band was playing and now I imagine this the scene in the breakroom of his office:

Do you know the Christmas opera Amahl and the Night Visitors? It's about the Three Kings, and since Three Kings' Day was this week, I thought of it. It was the first opera written for television. It has some beautiful moments. It was written for children, I believe.

This is the original TV performance, black and white.

There are local productions given full-length on YT in color, but this has the best singing. Note that this one begins with a talk with the composer, but it doesn't take a long time. It's worth hanging in there. The music is lovely, and the lyrics are interesting and often very meaningful, especially in the two main songs sung by the Kings telling why they're traveling with the gifts.

I remember seeing it on PBS or something a few years back. Here it is, cut up into a playlist!
