Children’s Cartoons…what are they really trying to say?

As a child I would wake up my sister every Sunday and we would run downstairs excited to be able to watch cartoons all day, not ever thinking if any messages were beginning to be imprinted on me as an early age. Parents now more than ever allow their children to watch countless hours thinking that these cartoons are actually beneficial for their children’s education. But in reality some cartoons that seem harmless can be sending kids a message in disguise, having them think a certain way. I will focus on how the marketing of cartoons has become huge in the United States and across the globe and so has the subliminal messaging.
