SM Cartoon Fest...a great experienced!


Kids do enjoy cartoon characters and they love watching them whether on TV or movies or even in events.  When with the kids, parents feel like they were still kids, especially when accompany the little one watching movies or an event for the kids.

Summer means fun and there are plenty of activities in store for the kids and for the whole family.  Some of these are outing, summer workshops and many more.  These are the easiest way to bond with kids.




In line with this, SM Supermalls launched the Biggest Summer CartoonFest and one of their malls, the SM City Fairview, launched their part of Cartoon Fest last April 11 which I attended together with my kids.  The kids were very excited when I said they'll be coming with me and when I mentioned that they'll be seeing different cartoon characters though I know that my youngest son is having problem with mascots.  I'm worried about him that he might have trauma seeing plenty of mascots.  But of course I wanted my youngest son to overcome his fear. 


We came there early, about an hour before the event started.  My eldest son Maki, kept on asking when will it start because he is so excited.  While my youngest son Gelo was observing.   When the program started, different cartoon characters came out one by one, as if they were coming out of the TV screen.  Gelo, my youngest son, hugged me tightly which shows a sign that his beginning to get scared of the mascots.  So I hugged him back and assure that there's nothing to get scared of and little by little his fear of the mascots were taken away, a bit, specially when he saw Lorax.  Lorax is one of the animated movie character that he love to watch and I think my kids watch the movie "The Lorax" twice a day.  To finally let him overcome his fear I tried to go near to the mascots and have a picture with them.

It was a great experience for us and it was amazing.  Giving the chance to explore and enjoy the moments with your kids and introduce some of the cartoon characters generation by generation.

SM really touches the heart of the kids and kids-at-heart.   SM does live up with their tag line "we've got it all for you." 

SM introduced different cartoon characters from different eras way back in my generation like Hello Kitty which is my long time favorite, Bugs Bunny that I used to watch,  Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie which are all cast of the Sesame Street.   Today's generations are the Lorax, Spongebob and Patrick, Dora and Boots, Angry Birds, Despicable Me Minions and Hop.  In addition to this, they also include the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Barbie Ballerina, Polly Pocket, Monster High, DC Comics Heroes, Tom and Jerry, Garfield, Robby Rabbit and Ironman.  So, all in all there are 38 cartoon characters that can be seen in the "SM Cartoon Fest".




So Mommies and Daddies this is a great chance to let the kids enjoy summer for they can have a meet and greet with different cartoon characters.  They won't just watched it on TV but actually get a chance to touch them and have a picture as well.  This will be featured on 44 malls nationwide in all SM Supermall until May 31.

SM's Cartoonfest is supported by Bates/Nickelodeon, Richprime, Pacific Licensing, Honeybarn, Solar Entertainment, FCI, Click Licensing and Astroplus/Magnavision, among others.
