Drawing on extended interviews with leading industry figures including successful children's content producers, this book provides a detailed insider account of the transforming creative circumstances of contemporary children's screen content. Streaming television services like Netflix and YouTube have increased in popularity while public service broadcasters like the BBC are investing heavily in children's content in an effort to stay relevant to UK children's culture. Despite their very considerable successes, the screen producers profiled here have had to adjust their creative practices and the screen content they produce, to television's distribution revolution. The comprehensive case studies in this book provide valuable insights into how creative practices, production norms and funding models in children's screen content have been altered and modified by the distribution revolution affecting all screen industries.
