Preferred term

history of cartoons  

Definition

  • Although cartoons are typically considered a genre for children, the history of cartoons in the United States reveals a complex relationship to multiple audiences (both adult and child) as well as to the film and television industries. Cartoons have historically used animation to both enhance and challenge popular conceptions of reality and experiences of modernity.
