In this essay, I reflect on my experience as a social sciences researcher critically analyzing children’s movies for more than 10 years. I also reflect on my work as a university professor. This essay is also a play that remains unfinished. I summarize here an experience I have shared with my students since May 2013, in which we co-create the script for a play to criticize, shatter, and rebuild legitimatized social models that have shaped our dreams as media-consumer-children.
