Reasons behind neglecting cartoons in Ramadan

In the 1980s and 1990s Ramadan dramas were all about children and how to bring them joy and teach them about the values and habits of this moth such as, “Buggy and Tamtam” through which director, Mahmoud Rahmi managed to channel the Egyptians’ habits in Ramadan using puppets. Despite the end of this show after the death of its creator, it became a special feature for Ramadan until today.

Actor Fouad El Mohandes presented “Uncle Fouad’s puzzles”, which was aired before the Maghrib prayer, where children would sit and listen to his advices. Actor Abdel Moneim Medbouli also presented his own show “Grandfather Abdo’s puzzles”. Dr. Mona Abo El Nasr presented “Bakar” cartoon, which conveyed the habits and values of the Nubian society.
 

Critic Magda Morris said that, this society needs to have more shows that speak to the children minds and teach them morals and values, but these kind of shows disappeared because producers think they are not profitable and they only produce some cartoons that can’t be considered purposeful. Critic Nader Ali aslo said that, Ramadan nowadays only focuses on TV drams for adults, neglecting children, who start to watch these dramas that aren’t right for their ages, and begin to learn wrong terms and ideas, that damage their minds. This problem happened because producers concentrate on making money, neglecting all morals and authentic art.
