Prince William and Kate have opened up about their eldest two childrens' favourite film and TV shows in the past. Take a look at Prince George and Princess Charlotte's top picks and find out if your kids are equally obsessed.

Chatting at the BAFTAs one year, Kate revealed to Coco director Lee Unkrich that George loved his film, which follows a young boy who travels to the Land of the Dead and meets his ancestors on the Day of the Dead. Kate revealed: "Paddington is definitely up there, and so is Coco now. It's great obviously because of William's interest in film, it's great to have that father-son thing."
Peppa Pig
Both George and Charlotte were fans of Peppa Pig in their earlier years. William once admitted that a toddler Charlotte "will probably be into Peppa Pig soon". Indeed, Kate later revealed that Charlotte had received a Peppa Pig birthday card for her 2nd birthday during an engagement.
Teacher Natalie Graham opened up about their chat, saying: "She told them that they had a little party for Charlotte yesterday and she sung Happy Birthday to herself! It was so sweet. She loved the card and present and said Charlotte would love it too as the card had Peppa Pig on, which she loves."

During a visit to Cinemagic in Northern Ireland, William helped a little boy named Regan to make paper dragons. While they chatted, he revealed that his eldest son was a big fan of the fantasy film, which follows a boy named Hiccup as he becomes best friends with a lovable dragon, Toothless.
Fireman Sam
Chatting on Radio 1, Prince William revealed that George had "taken an awful lot of interest" in Fireman Sam. The show was so delighted with the news that they made a very special episode dedicated to the little Prince.
Speaking to People, producer Ian McCue said: "We're going to celebrate Fireman Sam's 30th anniversary by introducing a very special episode. We heard that we have a very famous fan in Prince George, so we thought it would be really fun to bring a royal family to Pontypandy and see how the community reacts to that."
