Influence of Animated Films

While I can definitely see how animated films would have the potential to shape a young child’s mind, I don’t think that it would be correct to say that they 100% do. What a child sees/interprets compared to what an adult sees/interprets, is going to be very different.  And even if the animated film creator has certain ideologies and beliefs that bubble into their creation, the probability of a child picking up on it is probably very small. But with all that said if a child is constantly watching shows and films with violent tendencies or inappropriate words, I can definitely see how that might affect their personality. Same thing goes with little girls wanting to be princesses and the idea that they have to find their prince. 

In the end, I feel, it all depends on what the child is watching and how long they watch it. If a child is sitting in front of the TV all day watching cartoons, then maybe they will be more likely to pick up on the subtle influences because that is what they are exposed to for such a large amount of time.
