Family leisure is about getting closer together. They get closer with evening walks, weekend breakfasts, summer barbecue trips. And also good cartoons. After these, there is something to discuss: the child learns something new, and the parents explain this new thing to him. Sometimes the opposite is true. The main thing is to have dim lights in the room, a warm blanket on your feet, and enough snacks in the bowl until the end of the cartoon.
