Disney = Children's Media?

This is a video of clips from Disney's The Lion King, Return to Neverland, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. All of the clips were found on Youtube.




I picked these clips in particular because I thought it was interesting how children's stories can come across depending on whether the story is read in a book, or viewed on screen as a movie. In regards to films, it might also matter whether a film is live-action or animated. I think that depending on the form, the amount of violence, or things like death and murder in these stories is either amplified or toned down. I originally had five clips saved on a play list before deciding on the three I used, so if you're interested in viewing the whole play list, here it is:

my name is ---, i like to dance

for whatever reasons, i've been way into children's media lately (blame the internship). my current guilty pleasure is the show on nickelodeon, YO! GABBA GABBA, which is mostly about love, music and dancing. each episode features special guests such as biz markee and elijah wood, teaching strange/fun things like beat-boxing and puppet-man dancing.

it seems as though i'm not the only non-kid who's into the show, though. e! network's "the soup" has taken an interest in the kids' dance moves as well:
