    Mostly cartoons are perceived to be for kids. This is not an excuse for adults to watch cartoons because cartoons tend to have moral as well as inspirational messages that can teach us moral lessons or inspire us in all fields. Cartoon watching is fun because it reminds us of our young years and how we used to play with our friends which keeps our mind fresh and active for that matter.

    There also adult cartoons which they can enjoy watching rather than the kids cartoons. This also helps to reduce compete with the kids when they want to enjoy their watch.

    Well,I don't believe that cartoons are only for kids.I believe that people have different tastes and believe me there is still your inner child that you will always like to get in touch with even when you are old.

    I am 25 and still watch tons of cartoons be it movies or television programs.As opposed to some people I don't fixate on the image of the characters.I concentrate more in what the characters are saying and if there are lessons to be learnt.For example Rango teaches as to be responsible if we are elected leaders.

    Last but not least,I watch cartoons due to the humour content.When I am feeling low,there's nothing I would like to watch more than funny movie,and trust me most cartoons are funny

    There will always be that "kid" in us. Especially with me since I am so fond of watching cartoons even at my age now. My friends laugh at me and even my husband doesn't want me browsing cartoons on the Internet.

    Some people may not find it enjoyable or entertaining, but for us who loves cartoons, it will always have a place in our hearts.

    Like comic books, graphic novels, and video games, cartoons have always inspired the “is this art?” question. You know what I say to that? Hell yeah. And I’m not just talking about obscure French and Russian animation that you’d watch at your local independent theater (although, to be fair, this cartoons about a hedgehog is bomb), I’m talking about any and all cartoons. Aeon Flux? Art. Adventure Time? Art. Tiny Toons? Absolutely art.

    Cartoons are meant for everyone all you have to do is take interest I for one I like Tom and Jerry so much ,I can't stop laughing when I watch it.

    Though their cartoons which are meant for very young kids and those that even adults can enjoy without feeling bored.

    I absolutely love cartoons and animations. I watch them every weekend with my little brother. They are just so educative, entertaining and fun to watch. I just don't care weather I am too old for them as long as I am having fun. I also agree with butterflow that some cartoons are not suited for kids.

    No Cartoons are a form of entertainment and not specific to any age group. I always feel happy when watching Sophia the first with my siblings and i dont find something wrong with an adult watching cartoons

    No, I'm still watching Tom and Jerry until now, Looney tunes, woody woodpecker and Walt Disney Channel. This cartoons brings back a lot of good memories during my childhood days. This cartoons reminds me how I eagerly want to wake up at early in the morning or go back home just to watch them. But some cartoons right now is actually not for children, there's a lot of violence right now. I also notice that, before, when I watching some cartoons, there's no need to mention the don't try this at home, but right now, even the Walt Disney cartoons always remind the viewers to don't try this at home, so what's the problem with the viewers right now?

    In as much people have been conditioned to believe that watching cartoons is a preserve for kids,i disagree. What differs the most is the attitude angle at which an individual chooses to view things. The notion that cartoon programmes are for kids is an idea that has been passed by time. Moreover,nowadays cartoon movie directors are widening their market niche by tapping the adult population.

    Personally i love watching cartoons they are informative, fun to watch & honestly their creativity makes it worthy to watch with kids. Most recently i have watched is "The Baby Boss".

    I totally agree with you. Take an example of me, I have some friends who believe cartoons are for kids and tend to demean any adult who watches cartoons. Convincing such friends that it doesn't matter whether you are a child, teenager or adult for you to watch cartoons is stressful and annoying.

    I love watching cartoons I watch them with my 8-year-old son every morning, and even after school and I think when I have grandkids in the future I will still be watching cartoons it just never gets old.

    Cartoons are for entertainment both for kids and adults, I still watch cartoons at my age now, and I don't think that I will ever resent watching cartoons till my old age. Their is this happiness and joy it keeps in the mind whenever am watching it.

    And, I prefer watching it with my younger ones because their facial expressions gives me goose bumps whenever am with them. It calms your nerves down if you are too stressed up from work.

    Cartoons are definitely not for children only, I think it is for all ages. If you are a fan of cartoons then why not watch them, it is the same as watching animation movies. By saying cartoons are only for child then a person is saying that animation movie's are only for children as well. I love sitting and watching cartoons with my little one, most of the time he gets bored watching and I end up watching them further by myself.

    No, watching cartoons is not only for children but for everyone. I find cartoons entertaining and also addictive with the awesome and funny characters.

    Cartoons are fun and entertaining they keep you laughing and in a good mood.

    There are many types of cartoons which can favor any age and fit as good entertainment Like comics, comedy and adventure.

    I find watching cartoons suitable for everyone children and older age.

    I am the biggest fun of cartoons. They are mind provocative, they give an illusion of the impossible and I guess that's the main reason why I am addicted. You will find me and my daughter glued to the screen watching Goldie and Bear.

    I could watch Spongebob the whole day. I have never understood how it even snows underwater. Anyone watching Boss Baby the series? Its awesome! There are cartoons tailored specifically for adults like Archie , American Dad and Family Guy they have such a strong adult theme.I stand corrected on that.

    Have you watched Baby Boss the series? It has ten episodes if I am not wrong. It's literally mind blowing.

    Cartoons are just movies or series that are created differently, but they work just the same as the real thing. Gone are the days when they used to be classified as "for kids" or not, as people are becoming more and more open as to the kind of fun and entertainment that they get hooked at. So an adult could definitely have all the fun they want watching cartoons, as much as kids do. It doesn't really matter these days. In fact, some "kiddie cartoons" actually have adult themes disguised as child-friendly. That's kind of sad, but nonetheless everyone is entitled to cartoon fun, regardless of age.

    Age is not a basis in watching cartoons. For as long as you enjoy it, you can watch it whatever your age is. I find it sometimes good to watch cartoons because it entertains and lightens up a heavy day. Also, there are cartoons wherein you can learn a lot of good things from the moral lesson of the story that sometimes, we as adult forget to practice. I observed that these types of cartoons with moral lessons are from those that are made by Disney/ Pixar. Apart from the entertainment and lesson, watching cartoons can serve as a bonding time with kids in your home. The kids would surely appreciate you watching with them and enjoying their favorite show.

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree with that. I think that whether you're a kid or not, you are free to watch whatever kind of movies or TV shows that you want. I'm already 32 years old and I have been watching cartoons every day in my life. Aside from being a kid at heart, I enjoy it a lot because most of them are really educational, funny and entertaining. I love watching cartoons even more now that I have my children to watch it with.
