Prolepsis in Computer Animation for Children

We present the importance of the prolepsis to analyze the animations for the future generations of users of interactive systems, starting from those that are broadcast in the audiovisual media. The main aspects of attention and motivation of the kids are studied, through the 3D characters and the need to count on experts in communicability to increase the quality of the contents in the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV or DTT) and the on-line and off-line multimedia systems. The results of a heuristic analysis of communicability in the different animation techniques for children are also presented.
