Recommended: The influence of cartoons on children

Cartoons are a huge part of today’s society and range from many different types of audiences. Most cartoons are aimed for a younger audience such as children or young pre-teens, however, there are cartoons that are specifically made for older audiences such a teens, young adults and adults. When it comes to cartoons, there are many different types that a person can choose to watch as well. From the array of cartoon genres or styles, a person can easily figure out what suits them. Cartoons usually stick to a certain line of what they want to aim at, such as if they want to follow a horrific story or if they just want to strictly be entertaining by giving off humorous jokes. After years of watching cartoons, there are three that have really …show more content…

This cartoon usually starts out very sweet and innocent and usually consists of light hearted jokes or moments to make the viewer feel happy while watching it. As it progresses, the cartoon will either take a quick turn or a slow turn into the most heartbreaking moment that not only tugs at a person’s heart but pulls and smashes it down on the ground, crushing the heart under its feet. A fantastic example to mention is “Avatar: the Last Airbender”. Even though this show aimed for pre-teens, it still did not let up on the most heart wrenching moments known to all fans everywhere. From the main character, Aang the avatar, finding out he is the last of his kind after being frozen for one hundred years to the villain’s son, Zuko, fighting with his internal struggle to betray his father and fight for good or to destroy the avatar and have his father take over the entire world, this show had one major blow right after the other when it decided it was time to break the fans hearts and minds into little pieces. This show had very light hearted moments and funny episodes to include in between blows, but when it delivered those bad moments either about death, betrayal, or destruction, it ran over viewers like a train at full

    In society today, we are conditioned to believe certain sets of ideals. We use these ideals to interact and get along with the other people we surround ourselves with. These ideals are often the societal norms that form common ground amongst individuals. However, living life based off these basic and unchanging beliefs is not beneficial to humanity, nor does it make life any easier to live. In fact, holding on to the most accepted beliefs holds back society as a whole. Judith Halberstam, in her essay “Animating Revolt and Revolting Animation” challenges these societal norms through the analysis of animated movies and, in doing so, carves a path for a new way of thinking.

    In today’s world of multimedia it has become extremely hard to avoid the introduction of adult themes to younger children, who lack the maturity to process and question the information. Young people are bombarded continually with unsuitable and undesirable concepts that give false images of acceptable behavior. Music, movies, television, internet and video games are accredited with the moral deterioration of present day youth. Great strides have been made to establish rating guidelines, parental controls and warning labels that assist adults in making informed choices on what their children should or should not be able to access but they are not perfect.

  • Education In The Simpsons

    Over the years, several cartoon series have been chosen as the object of study for different researches. The world most famous animated family, The Simpsons, has been studied by Meskill (2007) focusing on their discourses about education. The author concluded that the satirical portrayal of schools in The Simpsons- teaching, learning, administrating- is brilliant in the cleverly suggested conflicts it portrays and provokes. These contradictions, according to Meskill, can illuminate the humanistic side of the society in which we live and help to improve its institutions. Another cartoon series that has received many critiques is South Park. Schulzke (2012) analysed the episode “The F Word” to illustrate how the show uses sophisticated strategies

    We all know that Family Guy by Seth McFarlane does show offensive content. Most people do not pay much attention to age rating on the corner of the television screen unless they are a parent. As children get older, there are always those certain shows that parents do not allow them to watch. However, once they start to develop mature minds, they begin to understand the reason of restriction from watching the shows in the first place. Kids tend to watch the show even though it is restricted to viewers over the age of fourteen. I agree that Family Guy presents a lot of offensive content such as bad behavior and language and can greatly influence kids to react to what they are viewing and copy their actions or things they say on television because they don’t quite know what’s right from wrong. But we should also need to take into consideration as to why the show Family Guy displays content that may be offensive to many viewers as well, but better yet to see it from a broader perspective.

    I chose to analyze Despicable Me, an animated film geared towards a younger audience, because I was interested in examining underlying theories and messages that this film would be relaying to its viewers. Often times, when watching animated films, children are not aware of these messages, as they are absorbed by the characters, special effects, and humor. But as we have learned throughout this semester, our brains are subconsciously primed by the various surroundings we are exposed to. Since we also studied the impacts of entertainment, such as television and video games, on children, I wanted to see how a popular children’s film might also affect them.

  • The Art of Anime

    When walking through an art museum, there are rarely paintings of caricatures on display. Though some artists have developed avant guarde or impressionist styles, these are not considered cartoons for the simple fact that they never were displayed on the silver screen. Yet paintings of Disney characters sell for thousands at auction if they are authentic. Disney separates itself from other animation studios with their signature style and tedious techniques, like traditional artists. Since Disney has been making animated films for years, it has become a huge part of American culture. Many people even classify the older, hand-drawn films to be moving works of art. On the other hand, animated TV shows from Japan known as Anime, are not considered to be works of art. Often starting as a comic like sterilization known as manga, anime has captured the hearts of millions of viewers. Like any art form, there are a variety of styles to choose from; ranging from breathtaking to humorous. Like the renaissance painters or even Disney, Anime itself has shared many of the same traits. However, the world over dismisses it as a childish pastime, rather than the art form that it is. Both Anime and Art are a culmination of style, cultural representation, and emotional expression.

    Children have become much more interested in cartoons over many years and it has become a primary action to some lives. Typically, children begin watching cartoons on television at an early age of six months, and by the age two or three children become enthusiastic viewers. This has become a problem because too many children are watching too much television and the shows that they are watching (even if they are cartoons) have become violent and addictive. The marketing of cartoons has become overpowering in the United States and so has the subliminal messaging. The marketing is targeted toward the children to cause them to want to view the cartoons on a regular basis, but the subliminal messaging is for the adults’ to target them into enjoying the “cartoons”.
