There is a long history of radical children's film and television which subverts political orthodoxies and challenges aesthetic conventions, often beneath a cloak of innocence. However, these rich traditions of radical screen content for children have received remarkably little attention. This volume redresses the balance. With contributions from leading authorities in the field and reference to both iconic and neglected media from around the world, this book sheds light on film and television for children that seeks to make a critical intervention in culture and society. It also investigates the subversive uses of children's media culture by individuals, communities of fandom, political groups, and creative practitioners. In so doing, it represents a major addition to existing scholarship in the field of children's film and television.

This book examines contemporary adaptations of children’s literature to illuminate two interconnected trends in twenty-first-century US culture: the courting of adult consumers by children’s media industries and the shift in American cultural conceptions of adulthood.Using the double meaning of kidult (an audience designation and a description of a person) as a framework, Adapting American Adulthood explores how the representation of adulthood changes when texts move from the child-focused world of the children’s book to the more adult-focused world of kidult screen media and fandoms.In studying this shift in implied audience, this book argues that children’s media companies began appealing directly to the kidult, rather than to the adult-as-parent, at the moment when the ideal adulthood sold to Americans since the 1940s started to crumble. This book examines how this shift has led to Americans reimagining an adulthood that leaves room for childness and children’s media
