- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to expose the following two things, the theme of cartoon films as messages and meanings generated by children when watching cartoons. Both of these are explored through a qualitative method using framing analysis approach. Results indicates that level of children’s liking for cartoons is more focused on the characters that appear in the film rather than the theme and storyline. For those who like cartoons based on the characters or characters shown, they can be divided into two opinions. First, are those who like characters because of their cuteness, both in terms of appearance and behaviour. Second, are those who like the character’s character and abilities. The development of cartoon films in the end actually has an impact on the emergence of cultural and psychological clashes against children. Children, through watching cartoons on television, only become victims of cultural intervention and the tug-of-war for the interests of capital that wrap up the cartoons. The implications of this research are this study is expected to contribute information and enrich the repertoire of social science especially sociology, also for the development of research on sociology of children and family, cultural studies, and study of media.
