In today's society, numerous products and media content, appropriated and creativelyreworked by children in processes of interaction with peers and adults, integrate the so-called childhoodcultures. Among these cultural products, the animated series broadcast by TV participate, with emphasis,in the daily experiences of children. The objective of this article is to present the first part of the resultsof an investigation that sought to understand the ways children watch, interact and mean the animationseries. The research was carried out in the scope of qualitative and participative research, by means of amicrosocial analysis, of an interpretative nature, integrated to the area of Child Sociology, which wascombined in an interdisciplinary way with the Latin American Cultural Studies in the area ofCommunication. Carried out with a group of nine and ten-year-old students, the research examined thepoint of view of children from the use of diversified methodological strategies involving participantobservation, interviews in small groups and workshops. The results obtained reveal, among other aspects,that children do not simply assimilate what they see as mere passive spectators. In multiconnectivity withother media, they participate in an active, interactive and dialogical process, always related to the sociocultural context in which they are inserted. They also point out the great responsibility (not alwaysperceived or recognized) involved in the production of content and media products for children ingeneral, and in particular, the animation series aimed at children and young people.
