From babbling and cooing in childhood to the emergence of complex sentences children undergo an incredible transformation in their ability to convey thoughts, feelings, and needs. The journey of language acquisition in children is a long and complex process, involving the gradual acquisition and refinement of linguistic skills. Early years of life are crucial for laying the foundation of language skills as children embark on the intricate process of speech development. This process is shaped by numerous factors, with the environment playing a key role in shaping a child's linguistic abilities. One of these environmental factors is animated films, which have become an integral part of modern childhood, immersing children in stories that often transcend the boundaries of reality. As they laugh, learn, and grow with their favorite animated characters, children are not merely entertained — this realm of childhood has a significant impact on various aspects of a child's development, including their speech and language skills. Exposure to a diverse array of characters, each with their unique ways of expressing thoughts, emotions, and ideas, not only expands their vocabulary but also plays a crucial role in shaping how they communicate with the world around them. This paper presents a theoretical overview of animated films and the ways these cinematic creations contribute to promoting speech development in children. The aim of the research component is to examine parents' and educators' attitudes towards the impact of animated films on children's language development, as well as the habits and preferences of their children regarding this medium.
