Negative Effects of Cartoons on Children
Children's exposure to electronic media such as television and especially cartoon films increased enormously in recent decades. More than 100 studies have demonstrated a causal relationship between exposure to violence on television and aggressive behavior in children.
Other research points to possible relationships between children's media consumption and obesity, smoking, increased isolation, decreased academic achievement Numerous studies have found that many parents do not limit their children's media intake, and that they underestimate how much television their children watch.
There are certain groups of children who are affected by it at a large scale. They are as follow
Some of the negative effects that media has on children are as follow
Psychological effect:
The basal ganglia portion of the brain becomes very active when a person plays video games and watches TV. And the body releases a chemical called dopamine. Ritalin (and cocaine) also works on the basal ganglia of the brain and increase dopamine. More dopamine is released; the less neurotransmitter is available to do anything else.
The blind imitation for cartoon characters:
Children are not responding mindlessly to these physical features. Children who viewed the violent cartoons showed decreases in measures of self-regulation. Children who watch aggressive cartoons with lots of violence can be more likely to engage in aggressive behavior than those that do not.

Cartoon film shows no longer just provide entertainment for children. Now they are a showcase for "must have" items that parents are expected to buy. They teach children to become consumers before they've even reached the age of 3.
Impact of horror movies and cartoons:
Children who watch horror movies, shows, may have some emotional or psychological problems. Toddlers and young children who watch violent movies, including Halloween horror films, television shows may be more likely to develop anxiety, sleep disorders, and aggressive and self-endangering behaviors.
Actions and behavior that don’t reach our religion and culture:
The existence of some actions and behaviors that are out of our culture and that are away from our Islamic religion like the behavior of some characters of drinking wine or alcohol ,smoking, ...etc ,Such these actions are dangerous on our children because they learn from them such bad , odd habits .In addition to that, don't forget the use of loose words ,behaviors .
