Contextual Research: Children Films

Children (Kids) and Family-Oriented Films are non-offensive, wholesome, and entertaining films (usually rated G for 'suitable for general audiences') that do not include topics or scenes with violence, foul language and other profanity, religious issues, gratuitous sexuality and so on, and are specifically designed for children 12 and under (or for family viewing). Children's and family-oriented films may actually be suitable for all age groups, and cover a wide range of genre categories (comedy, adventure, fantasy, musicals, etc.). They often include a child actor/actress (such as Shirley Temple), and/or focus on children's-related themes that teach a lesson or moral, or show that good can triumph over evil.
