Abstract

Today, animation is used as the most important tool to guide children's entertainment, values, as well as religious and non-religious beliefs. Regardless of the media's achievements in educating children, it can be seen as a tool in the service of the cultural NATO of the Western world against indigenous and Islamic cultures, which seeks to prepare children to accept the anti-values of the global village by instilling its anti-religious concepts through enjoyable and attractive content. The important fact here is the families and mass media custodians that oversimplify this issue. Those who provide children with any animation without knowing the intellectual content and age format. Considering the importance of the media in shaping children's personalities, beliefs, the cognitive and pathological foundations of animation should be a prioritized. Because today, the seeds of the future are sown and the theoretical foundations for recognizing religious and anti-religious animations must be explained and defined. Therefore, this paper, through an analytical-descriptive method, has dealt with discovering the thought and harms in famous animations based on the principles of Islamic education. The analysis of the findings suggests that most of Western animations covertly seek to destroy, distort, change, and seize the principles of the Abrahamic religions, especially Islam, and to institutionalize alternative beliefs to non-monotheistic religions.
