Definition of Children's Film

 

There is a number of definitions of films which are discussed in research literature. This is the definition which I used to identify films which are produced (not only) for children and represent childhood. Children's films which I defined as such meet all of these three criterias.

  • Form:
    • min. 60min runtime, mainly fictional
    • at least one age rating under 12
    • linear, audiovisual narration to be published as so called "film"
    • professionally produced and financed and
  • Reference:
    • produced for children and/or family which should be proofed through target audience, festival submissions, adressing the target-audience-in content and form and
  • Content
    • at least one protagonist is a child before adolescence (exception: fairytales and animals that behave like children)
