Due to its analysis of children´s film series as an outstanding category of the long 1960s popular culture, which developed from the outset with reference to transnational discursive relations, the project is in some aspects highly innovative. Up to now, children´s film series have not been a subject of historical research, so that the project will provide new insights into media history in several perspectives: On the producers´ side it shows the shifts toward aspects of entertainment and taking the lifeworlds of children into consideration. As far as the question of distribution is concerned it contributes to relativize the American impact by underlining European exchange processes. With reference to consumers it can point out the changes of media consumption resulting from a leisure behaviour adapted to the conditions of TV consumption in terms of time and space, from changing viewing habits and from its consequences for communication within families and peer groups.The compatibility of the project to the debates of general contemporary history is guaranteed on the one hand by the insights the history of children´s film series provides into the national characteristics and the transnational convergences of social discourses from a European perspective. Differences in the scale of norms and values and in the understanding of liberality and tolerance in various countries become obvious from programme decisions and the thus connected discourses. On the other hand, the research on children´s film series focusing on the European programme trade points out to cultural, economic and political convergence and cooperation in Europe, in some case even across the Iron Curtain. Finally, more than in other segments of popular culture, children´s film series show socialisational and identificational effects within a European framework.

由于儿童电影系列是20世纪60年代流行文化的一个突出类别，从一开始就参照跨国话语关系发展，该项目在某些方面具有高度创新性。到目前为止，儿童电影系列还没有成为历史研究的主题，因此该项目将从几个角度提供对媒体历史的新见解：在制片人方面，它显示了向娱乐方面的转变，并考虑到儿童的生活世界。就分配问题而言，它通过强调欧洲的交换过程，有助于使美国的影响相对化。从消费者的角度，指出了休闲行为适应电视消费的时空条件而产生的媒介消费变化，从改变的观看习惯及其对家庭和同龄人群体之间交流的影响来看，该项目与一般当代历史辩论的兼容性一方面是通过对儿童电影系列历史的见解来保证的。从欧洲的视角分析了社会话语的民族特征和跨国趋同。从方案决定和由此产生的相关论述中可以明显看出，各国在规范和价值观的尺度以及对宽容和容忍的理解方面存在差异。另一方面，对以欧洲节目贸易为重点的儿童电影系列的研究指出，欧洲的文化、经济和政治趋同与合作，在某些情况下甚至跨越铁幕。最后，与流行文化的其他部分相比，儿童电影系列在欧洲框架内表现出更多的社会化和认同效应。
