Toon Goggles: Fun Family Friendly Cartoons

We’re a toon family. My earliest TV memories are of the Hanna Barbera cartoons. My husband is all about the Looney Tunes. He has an almost-photographic memory for those  cartoons. The kids are following in mom and dad’s footsteps by watching any cartoons they can.

I don’t have a problem with the old cartoons of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Those cartoons were harmless. Animals chasing each other. Anvils from Acme dropping from the sky. Harmless fun. But, lately I have become concerned with the violence in today’s cartoons.

The villains of the cartoons from my day were practically harmless. The bad guys in today’s cartoons can be sinister and frightening. When my kids were five and under, I knew that if they were watching TV that the cartoons would be sweet tales of animals romping about, or children going on adventures. Once the kids entered elementary school, all bets were off. From the moment the kids walked in the door, I was subjected to a barrage of cartoons emanating from the TV. Of course I set screen-time limits.

Even with limits on screen time, I was bothered by the cartoons on many of the channels that they wanted to watch. Recently, I came across a channel where kids children can watch cartoons. Toon Goggles is a video streaming application where kids can watch unique, kid-safe cartoons from around the world anytime and anywhere they want. I learned that Toon Goggles — a children’s entertainment online channel — offers an unlimited amount of parent-friendly cartoons that will entertain kids for hours on end.

I thought I would check it out myself, so I logged in to Toon Goggles and created a family account. I chose a cute blue astronaut bear guy as our family avatar. I wanted an avatar that would be fun for all the kids, myself, and even my husband. We sat around the computer and chedked out the Toon Goggles site. You can first choose whether you want to watch cartoons in the following categories: Boys, Girls, Action, Comedy, Preschool, or Educational.

Our family’s first foray in to Toon Goggles was to click on the Action Channel. We found cartoons with the titles “Lady Ice,” “The Flying Squirrels,” and “Football Stories.” We’re a football-mad family so we all agreed to click on Football Stories. We were expecting a cartoon about football, but instead it was a cartoon about soccer, which is called “football” in most of the world. Toon Goggles cartoons can come from any country, not only the United States. Nevertheless, we found Football Stories to be an enjoyable cartoon about the origins of football or soccer.

Toon Goggles shows are sorted by genre and vary in length from fun shorts to engaging episodes and full-length features. What I liked about Toon Goggles is that it is a safe and protected service for children of all ages to view cartoons. Many of these cartoons were new to me.

  • Mac and PC — Watch 1000’s of cartoons on your Mac or PC computer.

At Toon Goggles children can create their own “facepage” and add cartoons to their Toon Shelf and even share it with their friends and make recommendations. At ToonGoggles we wanted children to be in charge of their viewing experience and watch the content they want to, when they want, where they want.

Toon Goggles is COPPA compliant (Children Online Privacy Protection Act) and has a strictly enforced screening process to ensure that all content presented is clean and safe for children to watch. If a child under the age of 13 wishes to sign-up, we highly suggest parents review the site first making sure they are comfortable with their kids browsing experience.

Go visit www.ToonGoggles.com to create your own “Toon Strip” episode queue online and to play an unlimited number of games. Note: 
Your carrier may charge data fees, so an unlimited data plan or viewing over Wi-Fi is suggested.

    I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Kids pretend to be “violent” all the time – playing soldiers, cops and robbers etc. The “violence” in cartoons is purely abstract and kids understand this.

    Oh, I was on ParentsConnect and came across this site… and then I saw your post on ToonGoggles! It immediatly caught my attention, because I’ve heard of this website recently, as I was looking for sites with children-appropriate (free!!) content.

    A friend told me about Kidobi and it is very similar with ToonGoggles!
    I like Kidobi ’cause it has this cute colourful serie, 100% made in my country (I’m from Portugal! :D). If you wanna check it out: http://www.kidobi.com/video-series-for-kids/Gombbys-Green-Island/98708741-9041-4ba1-aa73-f1e8de511072

    But you started this post talking about the old cartoons… I’m from the 80s… Is there any website you know where we can see these ones, from the good old times? 🙂
