Abstract

This paper explores the growing concern regarding
the presence of indecent and morally inappropriate
content in English cartoon films and its impact on
children's psychological and spiritual development.
Many globally popular animations contain hidden
sexual innuendos, vulgar language, and immodest
visuals that contradict the moral teachings of Islam.
Drawing upon the Quran o sunnah , the study
emphasizes the importance of modesty, ethical
upbringing, and parental responsibility in
safeguarding children from such harmful media. The
research highlights the urgent need for alternative
Islamic media, vigilant parental involvement,
educational reforms, and governmental regulation to
promote morally sound entertainment for children in
alignment with Islamic values.
