Abstract

Animation cartoons are very entertaining as well as learning interactive media for growing up kids. Many-a-times parents opine anxiety over the unwanted influence of foreign cartoons. It was noticed that while children were glued to the newness in presentation, they imitate the characters. There are numerous study in this area, especially the effect of animation cartoon in child behavior. Most of the studies are based on the interaction with the guardians with a set of questionnaires and their feedback. Based on some expert opinions, there is a serious drawback in this conventional survey methods. Since, they do not interact with the children directly, rather they conclude based on their guardians or teacher feedback. The survey is conducted in the area of under privileged locality (Kokrajhar, Assam, India) where animation films are not common compared to other places. In our research, this issue has been addressed. In the experiment, we have interrogated with the children along with the guardian’s feedback. The final conclusion in drawing is based on the combined feedback. An additional path is enlightening in our research. The domain experts and guardians suggested that it would be directed toward positive if the more Indian style is projected, both in presentation and content.
