Western Animation/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* Why is it that children in comedic cartoons are unrealistically short, even for those aimed at children. In [[Real Life]], most ten-year-olds are four feet tall, but in cartoons they appear to be closer to two or three feet tall. For example, in [[Fairly Oddparents]], Timmy Turner is half as tall his parents' legs, but if the show were live-action, his head should be fully above their waists.

** Most cartoons work through exaggeration, and this is just one expression of it; most kids feel small and dominated (and consequently powerless) by the height of their parents and other adults, so this is just an exaggerated reflection of this.
