الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایۃ الحق والصواب

Cartoons containing permissible acts are permissible to watch, and it is better to show kids cartoons including Islamic content, so that kids can learn from these. Yes, however cartoons containing content which is against Islam is impermissible to both show and watch, should refrain from watching these kinds of cartoons.
