Shows
Pocoyo is a longtime favorite! Especially in the original Spanish for younger language learners
Pocoyo
Latino and Spanish nursery rhymes for kids. The original is in Spanish and from Argentina and that’s the way we watch!
El Reino Infantil
I love shows that air as bilingual shows and Santiago of the Seas is a TOP show, maybe because we have our own Santiago. Plus a family trip to San Juan let us find all the spots from the show!
Santiago of the Seas
A fun show for kids! Got us through the early years
Cleo & Cuquin
Nursery rhymes that sing in both languages, helping young language learners correlate the words from English to Spanish
Canticos
As the name suggests, these songs are super simple in English and Spanish. Much like Cánticos but not as animated or loud
Super Simple - Kids songs, shows, and free resources
Movies
Raising half Colombian kids it made us so proud and such emotion watching a Disney movie about our culture! We watch this in Spanish
Encanto
Coco was one of the first times we saw Latinos in Disney mainstream media. I don’t know about you but I *still* cry like a baby every time I watch
Coco
A movie showcasing Cuba with Lin Manuel Miranda is a win win for me! Very bittersweet movie with lots of love for our culture
Vivo
Indigenous culture and colonization meet in this movie about a boy fighting to save a relic on a dangerous mission to Cusco
