Cartoon characters have the power

Cartoons are a popular form of entertainment for young children.

Children like to act like the characters in their favourite shows, so the cartoons play an important role in forming children's personalities.

But when viewers become teens, they often lose interest in cartoons. A show has to be really well made, with brilliant storylines, to attract teenage viewers.

A recent educational cartoon from the mainland, Happy Sheep and Grey Wolf, is an example of how cartoons can put people off. While it teaches important lessons, the images are too childish and the storylines are badly planned.

If these things were changed, the show would be more attractive.
