Cartoons_And_Violence

Cartoons And Violence That?s All Folks When cartoons initially appeared on television, they were simple animations targeted towards the younger generations as a form of entertainment. As the world has evolved, so had the development of cartoons. They have become much more graphic and instead of Sunday morning cartoons, major motion pictures shown in theatres are now animated. Cartoons used to be juvenile skits where Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse held hands and occasionally kissed on the cheek. A new form of comedy has been brought to the screen in animation in shows like ?The Simpsons? and ?South Park?. These programs introduced violence in animation and changed the stereotype that anything in cartoon is appropriate for mature audiences as well as young children. The television program ?The Simpsons? has many sexual references and underlying meanings, and the character Kenny from South Park is guaranteed to die at least once throughout the duration of the episode. Violence and sex have become the foundation of humor in many cartoons.
