I would not recommended Tangled. Small children get confused, uncomfortable and scared at the mother being the villain. It's all part of the storyline, and works well for older kids who can comprehend kidnapping, conniving and lying. But the failure for those 5yo and younger to grasp that concept was actually one of the film's stumbling blocks when it under-performed in theaters. Even kids we were used to scary villains and scary scenes proved uncomfortably unnerved by an untrustworthy mother.
Films like the classic The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh; the newer Winnie the Pooh theatrical feature; and Cars; etc. work well for a 2.5 year old because they don't feature scary villains, especially not villain relatives.
I was an an animator by trade for many years and always had a collection of films to watch as a family. But I never let my son get in the habit of expecting the same film over and over again. Instead we sat and watched together as a family.
