I am going to be a father and am making a jellyfin setup for my child. I want to start early to make a good collection of movies and shows. So I am interested in knowing what other people experienced as positive influences in their lives.

Edit: English and Norwegian is fine, but I can always get dubbed versions of other languages. We will be speaking English and Norwegian with our child from birth. But want to introduce our child to many types of cultures, religions etc.

Edit 2: Thanks so much for so many great responses. Some of you must have spent quite some time compiling the list. Truly appreciate that ♥️

Sesame Street is great for exposure to a variety of types of people and some cultures. PBS in general is pretty good for that.

Bluey is fun for parents and kids, though it can give kids some high expectations from their parents.

Numberblocks is a good math concepts/counting show.

Storybots is a good learning about the world kind of show.

Paw Patrol has some life lesson kinds of things, but has more action/adventure stuff.
