以英語為外國語的研究指出許多語言學習者利用媒體素材學習英語字彙。而大部分的研究以電視節目、戲劇、和網路媒體作為學習的教材，少有以電影為學習的研究。非常少的研究探討動畫對於英語為外國語之學習者可能的影響。本研究旨在探討迪士尼動畫的詞彙來源，並更進一步檢視需要多少英語字彙量才能理解迪士尼動畫的內容。研究者蒐集二十部迪士尼動畫，並使用線上語料庫分析工具分析迪士尼動畫的字彙涵蓋量、字串、以及出現在動畫卻未列在字族表的字彙。本次研究結果顯示：第一、迪士尼動畫可以提供兩千至一萬六的字彙量。第二、迪士尼動畫可以產生三個字至六個字的字串，有較舊的動畫傾向用較多、較長的字串之趨勢。第三、適當的理解迪士尼動畫需要三千至四千的字彙量。

Many EFL studies have pointed out that language learners acquire vocabulary through media exposure. Many of the same kind have focused on TV episodes, dramas, and online media. Few looked into the use of movies; very few studied the possible impact of animations for learning English as a foreign language. This study examined the lexical sources provided by Disney animations and further investigated the vocabulary coverage needed to comprehend Disney animations. The transcripts of twenty Disney animations were analyzed by two online instruments, VocabProfiler and N-Gram Extractor (Lextutor), looking into the vocabulary coverage, lexical bundles, and off-list words observed in Disney animations. The results showed that Disney animations provided vocabulary coverage from 2,000 to 16,000 words and also generated 3- to 6-word lexical bundles. This study also suggested that 3,000 to 4,000 words are needed to comprehend Disney animations.
