Cartoons contain violence

PMCID: PMC1071049  PMID: 10986170

wjm editors love feature-length cartoons and we are grateful to JAMA (2000;238:2716-20) for printing a comprehensive list of all those released since 1937. A content analysis describes all the films as violent to a greater or lesser extent, and parents wanting to limit their children's exposure should stick to Winne the Pooh and Dumbo, which contain only 1 minute of violence each. The classic A Bug's Life is the second most violent animated film ever released. No doubt grasshoppers account for most of it.
