3 bilingual siblings on Youtube

Recently I have came across 3 bilingual Japanese siblings on Youtube. Their English was perfectly fluent and very natural regardless of living in Japan all their lives and not attending international schools. These children grew up exclusively on watching English animation. According to these brothers, they were never allowed to watch Japanese T.V. shows. I was quite skeptical at the beginning, but more and more I think about this, I have to say listening to T.V. shows is a very effective way to learn another language.

What do you think? Can you control screen time and screen preference of your children? Do you think it is taking away their entertainment or limiting it? Come to think of it, I did the same to my daughter. She only watched Disney Movies in English, during her kindergarten days. And yes, she is perfectly fluent in two languages, English and Japanese.
