Yeah there's good children's media, but do the kids actually care?
The kid might not care, but these are important and formative years. They are learning how stories work, how to process stories and pull the information they want, how to form their own stories.
This is the psychological equivalent of giving an infant Coca-Cola. Kids who ingest this garbage, this "highly processed corn-based snack" of the mind, will be stunted compared to the kids whose parents were willing to spend time around their spawn.
Ime while marketing has a huge influence, kids can actually tell the difference between a meaningful story and a series of events cobbled together, and will gravitate towards the former. Also, parenting involves a degree of curation!
