A really nice listening site with animated, captioned true stories. For native speakers, but the animation and the captions help enormously with understanding the pictures.

Sundays at Roccos was a moving story for a cartoon about an immigrant family from Italy that makes it in the US only to (you have to see it for the rest). I think this is a high Level 3 and up listening material that will generate a lot of discussion from interesting and animated stories

Video animation site Jen used with her Level 1 students and demonstrated at the in-service

short, cute, basically wordless animated video students could describe in speaking / writing, etc.

Op-docs is a series of video interviews (some animated, some filmed, whatever) that are, obviously, opinion pieces. They're not terrible long (from about 5 minutes to 15 minutes) and cover a wide variety of topics. They would probably be a good resource for Level 5 and 6 teachers. The speaking, while mostly native speakers, was not incredibly fast. They also could be used as resources for combining ideas from multiple resources.
