Everything was going just fine until Bambi’s mother was shot and killed. My daughter got

anguished and asked to go home in the middle of the movie. Fortunately later choices turned
out OK and she likes movies as much as I do.

My point is: are cartoons really safe for kids? Or do parents need to pay attention to the type
of cartoons kids are watching during their spare time?

Once I sat on the sofa to watch a cartoon with my 8-year-old son and got completely
dumbfounded when I realized a cartoon character was agonizing right in front of us, bleeding
as if it was an action adult movie!

Everybody knows that the cartoon “The Simpsons” doesn’t spread nice manners or
behavior, but what about the “kid stuff” they display in the afternoon for young children?
The next time you take a kid to the movies maybe a cartoon doesn’t make the best choice,
unless you take the time to watch it and analyze its content first. Or you take the risk of
exposing your child to messages s/he isn’t prepared to get yet.

6. “The Simpsons” spreads nice manners and behavior. ( ) true ( ) false

7. Young children may feel anguished when they are exposed to things they are not prepared

8. Before taking a child to the movies, it’s important to check the movie content.

( ) true ( ) false
9. Cartoons are for kids, so they are safe. ( ) true ( ) false
<i>1o. Are cartoon characters always nice? Support your answer. </i>
