There's no doubt, cartoons are fast losing their audience, and the reason for this cannot be farfetched. There are so many factors that are contributing to this. Gone are the days when cartoons were created with interesting storylines and characters. However, all these beautiful things that draw people to cartoons are gradually becoming a thing of the past.
In fact, a lot of cartoons have been canceled simply because most cartoon networks are now airing different kinds of series, which have been making children use derogatory and insulting words against the elders. Also, parents have started restricting their children from watching cartoons due to some obscene scenes that are being aired.
A perfect example of this is how kids can easily learn to be peeking at their sisters in the bathroom. This is simply a result of what they are watching. Another factor is that most children, who are mainly the target audience of cartoons, have grown older, and they now have more interesting content to watch than cartoons, leaving children between 2 to 5 years of age to cartoons.
