Let’s not forget all the Bert and Ernie questionability.
There is an animated cartoon series of The Swiss Family Robinson that runs for quite a few episodes. It’s beautifully animated, they teach strong family morals. They pray. Every episode teaches a real life skill (they vary in actual practical use but are all very interesting). It’s accessible to all ages.
Also several old good Bible cartoons.
There’s a newer series that undoubtedly has some errors in it, but does a pretty commendable job of teaching the American Revolution called Liberty’s Kids. A few episodes need parental guidance and might want children to be a bit older, but it’s generally very good, and even notes some of the Prussian involvement that got covered up in school (notably, one is voiced by Schwarzenegger, whose voiceover accent is, funny enough, hilariously bad).
Transformers G1 has some shockingly based episodes (decades ahead of their time, and also some pretty weird episodes), including one where a media mogul flips perceptions of the autobots and deceptions in order to get massive wealth gifts from Megatron, who doesn’t honor his promise.
Pretty easy to hit a few hundred hours if desired, especially with rewatches.
If there’s not a thread on this for parents, there should be.
Maximum effort!
