My kids (now 13 and 12) have loved Beethoven's 6th symphony for years. They first got into it through "Fantasia," but it's stayed very popular at my house.The Nutcracker, Handel's Water Music, Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, Copland's Rodeo and Beethoven's 5th symphony also sell well around here.
My advice, for what it's worth, is never to dumb down the music for your kids. Despite their unsophisticated tastes, even very young children know crappy music when they hear it. Treat them the same way you would treat an adult newcomer to classical music.
