Globally, Disney animated films integrate education into entertainment for families with children. This study uses the Social Capital Theory as the framework to support its focus on parental attention to children’s developmental learning needs. This exploratory study examines how Disney animated movies over the last eight decades portraited parents in the life of the leading child characters. With three inclusion criteria (figure-length, animated, and at least one child being the protagonist), we found 155 films for the general audience released between 1937 and 2020. We read relevant website-posted plots and themes of each selected movie from three major informational websites. Data included the leading child, parents or parental figures, and the central theme of the movie. Most of these 155 stories (n = 97, 61.3%) did not mention the child’s biological parents. Half of the 48 parental-presence films projected life in a single-headed family and the main characters' heroic image. The movies released during 2000–2020 showed a higher parental presence than the previous seven vicennial periods. Findings show that families could use Disney animated movies illustrating fantasy and reality. Parents can engage children in discussions about friendship and family relationships after watching a movie. If children continue consuming Disney movies, parental involvement is needed to facilitate discussions of real-life learning to help children develop communication skills.

迪士尼长篇动画电影中的缺席父母:孩子们在看什么?

在全球范围内,迪士尼动画电影将教育融入有孩子的家庭的娱乐中。本研究使用社会资本理论作为框架来支持其关注父母对儿童发展学习需求的关注。这项探索性研究考察了迪士尼动画电影在过去八年中是如何描绘父母在主要儿童角色的生活中的。根据三个纳入标准(人物长度、动画和至少一个儿童作为主角),我们找到了 155 部在 1937 年至 2020 年间上映的面向普通观众的电影。我们从三个中阅读了每部选定电影的相关网站发布的情节和主题主要信息网站。数据包括主要孩子、父母或父母人物,以及电影的中心主题。这 155 个故事中的大多数(n = 97, 61. 3%)没有提到孩子的亲生父母。48部亲子电影中,有一半投射了单亲家庭的生活和主人公的英雄形象。2000 年至 2020 年上映的电影显示,父母在场的人数高于前七个 vicennial 时期。调查结果表明,家庭可以使用说明幻想和现实的迪斯尼动画电影。父母可以在看完电影后让孩子们讨论友谊和家庭关系。如果孩子们继续观看迪士尼电影,则需要家长参与来促进讨论现实生活中的学习,以帮助孩子们培养沟通技巧。2000 年至 2020 年上映的电影显示,父母在场的人数高于前七个 vicennial 时期。调查结果表明,家庭可以使用说明幻想和现实的迪斯尼动画电影。父母可以在看完电影后让孩子们讨论友谊和家庭关系。如果孩子们继续观看迪士尼电影,则需要家长参与来促进讨论现实生活中的学习,以帮助孩子们培养沟通技巧。2000 年至 2020 年上映的电影显示,父母在场的人数高于前七个 vicennial 时期。调查结果表明,家庭可以使用说明幻想和现实的迪斯尼动画电影。父母可以在看完电影后让孩子们讨论友谊和家庭关系。如果孩子们继续观看迪士尼电影,则需要家长参与来促进讨论现实生活中的学习,以帮助孩子们培养沟通技巧。
