Cartoons have long been a beloved form of entertainment for children and teens. They also play an excellent role in introducing young people to the music world.

The music in cartoons shapes how kids experience the characters, stories, and emotions behind them. When creating music for younger audiences, composers make deliberate choices to ensure the sound resonates with children and teens.
