We live in a time where digital media have become our everyday life and influence most of our lives. Children in this period are born and grow up in a digital environment where digital media have a direct impact on children and their overall development. One of the forms of digital media that are most interesting and easily accessible to children are animated films and video games. The influence of these digital media is visible on almost all aspects of a child's life and development in general. From the development of early literacy and speech to the development of motor skills. Apart from animated films, children also absorb the most information from other digital media, such as smartphones, tablets, and television. It has been confirmed that the influence of digital media is also visible in the field of artistic creativity. In other words, it is visible in the created children's art works that will be analyzed later. In addition to the concepts of digital media, this paper will also discuss the concepts of creativity and creative thinking and will investigate and analyze the connection and influence of animated films on children's (artistic) creativity and artistic expression. For the data collection procedure, the protocol of observation with participation was used as the main measuring instrument, i.e., art activity with children in kindergarten. The sample of research respondents is intentional and consists of one educational group in which there are 20 children (from the area of the city of Osijek) aged 6 to 7 who attend the same kindergarten in the area of the city of Osijek, more precisely the kindergarten "Pčelica". In addition to this measuring instrument, two other methods were used, namely the content analysis method of the collected material and the survey method, with the fact that the survey was designed in the form of a Google form. The research is of a qualitative-quantitative type, i.e., a combined type, and triangulation was carried out, which was divided into three parts.
