Cartoon morals are oftenly seen in
80s cartoons and usually appear right before the
credits of the
cartoon. Typically some
scenario will happen where a bunch of kids get in trouble and a
Good Guy from the cartoon will appear and tell them what's
wrong and what's
right. Another case is when a
character from the
good guys will explain what's wrong and what's right using the cartoon's
episode as an
anecdote.
Here's an example:
In
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, "Dawn of
Dragoon":
"In today's story Orko was faced with a very difficult decision. You know, when we're young most of our decisions are made for us, but as we get older, well we want to make more and more of them for ourselves. And that's the way it ought to be. But sometimes we have a real tough one, a real problem. And when that
happens it's a good idea to talk it over with someone else. Someone who really cares about you, like your mother or father, or maybe your best friend. Talking a problem out with someone else can be a great help."
