Dr Skouteris maintains that co-viewing (parents watching the videos with their children) and repeat viewing of videos facilitate children's understanding of the storyline. With a greater level of understanding, children are more likely to pretend to be characters, recite lines, and sing songs from the video, all of which make watching a video an active rather than passive experience. Co-viewing has the added benefit of providing close family time where parents can make a point of discussing the various themes presented in the videos and answering any questions children might have.To further understand the impact of Disney videos on early childhood development, Disney has commissioned a phase two study to be conducted by Dr Skouteris, the results of which will be available in mid 2003.Disney is committed to bringing its special type of magic to Australia's youngest generation. The Walt Disney Collection titles are the epitome of healthy viewing and will bring entertainment and delight to both young and old alike.
