However, I believe Europe now puts less emphasis on higher education than America. But I worry by the time Teletubbies is done the next generation is going to be mal-developed. We'll see.
But seriously, compare the cartoons we grew up with to modern cartoons. Looney Toons used to familiarize kids with opera and symphony. Bugs Bunny would run intellectual circles around Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck, and we'd try to keep up. Tom and Jerry would fight over a piano while playing the Hungarian Rhapsody. Nowadays cartoons are just entertainment. Maybe we're turning into the Bread and Circus that France fell to...
Enough rambling. I agree, yay for JK Rowling.
