description Cartoons violence exposure can be negative for toddlers, because children behavior can be modelled by them. Early exposure has been related to emotional disturbance. In this study twelve cartoon series were watched in order to explore the number and typology of violent actions. Emotional intelligence of children who watched this series was assessed. Results show that more  than half of series contains some type of violent action, principally physical. Almost half of violent actions occurs outside school environment, are executed by non significant adults, and both boys and girls exercise and receive violence in similar proportions.
