Cartoon violence

Cartoon violence is when characters in cartoons do things that are considered violent, like hitting someone or blowing something up. However, cartoon violence is usually not meant to be taken seriously or to be imitated in real life. It is just a way to make the cartoon more exciting and funny.

Cartoon makers know that kids love to see characters get into mischief, but they want to make sure that kids don't copy what they see in cartoons in real life. So, most cartoons have silly and over-the-top violence, like characters hitting each other with giant hammers or dropping anvils on each other's heads.

Cartoons often use unrealistic violence, like characters being flattened or stretched like rubber bands, but they always bounce back to their normal selves in the end.

It is important to remember that cartoon violence is not real violence and should not be taken seriously. It is just meant to be fun and entertaining.
