animated films

I believe that animated films do have some power in shaping the impressions of young children. When children are growing up they are very susceptive to picking things up around them. They are at a crucial age when what they see and hear is what shapes who they are and how they act. TV has different rating on their shows for a reason. For example the Simpsons is an animated show, but is rated for more mature audiences because of the content and language. Also like we talked about in class, Disney movies are intended for little kids and give them false beliefs. Little girls are taught to wait for their prince to come riding up to save them from distress and that they will live happily ever after. Children may not see the hidden messages in some of these films but they will pick up on what is shown plain and  clear.
