Cartoons, usually directed to children, often held hidden adult or political messages that were about issues of the day. During World War II, many cartoons took a nationalistic focus against enemies overseas as a way to pump up patriotic spirit.

Now, cable television, DVDs, the Internet and syndicated reruns (including a separate cable channel for cartoons only called The Cartoon Network), fuels the baby boomers' taste for nostalgia and an excuse to watch animated characters instead of celluloid humans.
