Innocent display of cartoons which give many subtle messages include various negativities. One of these negativities is related with the characters? gender. Characters in cartoon movies include females; males; animals and inanimate objects. While male and female characters? roles are shaped according to existing stereotypical role models in society; animal and inanimate characters have anthropomorphic characteristics like walking on two feet or speaking. Such characters have their places in these movies with their human-like characteristics.
