    Pretty much most children’s cartoons were designed just to sell toys and other merchandise, and of course ads in between the show to get kids interested in pestering their parents into buying the advertised products. I tried watching a Chip and Dale episode on Disney + recently out of nostalgia, I used to love that show as a kid, but now I realized how simplistic and nonsensical the plot was, cause it’s designed to be consumed by children and they ain’t exactly media literate yet lol

      In Norway it is illegal to advertise to kids. I love that so much. Can we adult have that too?
