The aricle examines how scenography, production design, animation and special effects can be used to influence children's development and help them become more aware and critical of their environment. The article also looks at the role of education in film and television and how these can be used to enhance children's understanding of the world and cultural and social values. Scenography is essential to children's productions because it not only enhances the visual appeal of the movies but also helps to reinforce the narratives and lessons they teach. A well- designed scenographic design creates an environment that captivates children, sparks their imagination, and provides an appropriate platform for learning and exploration.
