I wanted to address this subject as it has come to my attention that "out with the old and in with the new" isn't quite well in all aspects of a child's life. This subject is a vast one, containing a really big number of products, games, songs and t.v. series, but only one comes to mind when a child and a television are discussed in the same train of thought.
The role of cartoons were to entertain the little ones, depending on the age of the child. Different categories would vary in social behavior and actions, made easy so a clear and colorful message would raise a child with good intentions and a great distinction between what is good and what is bad, what is wrong, and what should be encouraged. Although i haven't got the necessary resources and the needed documentation to sustain all that i will be talking about, i leave to you..."the people", the simple study in what i say to determine if my statement is correct and if wanted to state your opinion on this (as simple as you can).
My input on this subject is simple and it addresses only one component of the cartoon bundle o'joy creation, and that is : MUSIC.
Not going to make the timeline of music evolution, i am not going to even poke the subject of present calibration of children's taste in music, just want to UPDATE you all on the FACT that from a soundtrack of orchestral music, that underlined the energy and the fluctuation of actions... an intelligent approach of brain stimulating sound and a musical sense and logic of telling the story not only through images, but using music in a synergistic way of involving the viewer perceptions, expanding brain frequencies into a relaxed, more attentive children. NO WONDER ADD and AHDD appeared once technology started blooming, no wonder the number of affected children is rising and no wonder if all of this is actually true, SOMEONE'S GETTING MONEY OUT OF THIS.
please review two cartoons of preference one being older than 10 years or more, the other being from late 2000.
