In an experiment realised with children 4-6 years in 4 public and private preschools in Tirana, while showing cartoon films for children in Albanian language and produced by public artistic institutions during the years ’80, ’90, it was noticed that the children were interested and engaged in discussing about the topics of the cartoon films content.
