Cartoon Kids

So we've covered families, best friends, and nosy neighbors, but how about those famous cartoon children. If your a cartoon kid then the world around you may seem big, scary, or just plain incomprehensible. Well thats mostly the case for the children found in these popular cartoons. The Peanuts gang is one of the most iconic cartoon children in history which began in the 1950s. Like many cartoon shows observed today with the focus on children, the story within  Peanuts is from the child's perspective. In their world, we never actually get to witness any adult personalities. Also, when an adult communicates to any Peanut character, they never actually speak in words, instead they communicate by incomprehensible noises that only the child character can understand. We as the viewer are left puzzled. This is a common theme displayed by many of todays cartoon shows where the point of view comes from the child. In their world, adults are portrayed as stupid, confusing, and incomprehensible. This trait is exceptionally displayed by shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and South Park. For the most part, the adults in these shows are portrayed as slow and oblivious. Lastly, Rugrats is a show that takes the viewer on adventures through the eyes of babies and toddlers. The point of view is literally illustrated well in this show because every object and adult character is enlarged since the story is mainly from the eye of a small child. In the end many of these notorious cartoon children prove that big adventures can also come in small packages.
