Thanks to various studies, it has been found that a large number of preschool children spend their free time in the company of various media, especially television, mobile phones and tablets, which are easily accessible to children. The problem is greater because children in such situations are often unsupervised by adults who do not even notice possible negative influences in the form of violence in animated films or find them less disturbing, very often due to the animated portrayal of characters, believing that animated films are child-friendly. Given the poor research into the presence of violence in media content in Croatia, the recommendations of educational content for children by psychologists, including the animated film Masha and the Bear, this paper seeks to determine the existence of violent content in this animated film, the results of which could be used in determining the impact of such media content on a preschool child. The method of analysis seeks to analyze the visible features of violent scenes and determine the frequency of occurrence of defined categories. In the animated film Masha and the Bear, there is more physical than psychological violence, most of the violent acts were committed with the intention of inflicting some damage. Most violent scenes are not portrayed in a realistic way. The perpetrator of the violence was not punished for his act. The violent person is mostly portrayed in an attractive way, and it is not possible to learn a lesson from most violent scenes in the animated film Masha and the Bear.
