Abstract
This article reviews aspects of children's global culture from a number of perspectives: political/economic, including children's cultural 'rights' as asserted in the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989); psychological, including evolutionary psychology and theories of mind studies; and empirical media studies, incorporating data based on 6-to 13-year-old children's own discussions. It suggests that psychologically functional and pleasurable aspects of children's media need to be incorporated into more familiar arguments in media and cultural studies about commodification and 'Disneyfication'. Some children's stories may necessarily be universal as well as global.
