Definition

  • Children and adolescents have been an important segment of the movie audience since the earliest years of the motion pictures. Until the advent of television, the movies were a regular feature of children's leisure hours, and they continue to be today in their modern incarnation on video and DVD. Young people have also been instrumental in determining what audiences saw (or did not see) at the movies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media; Movies, History of]
