    abstract = {Among the theories and studies of gender,
there are many that assert the idea of language and
interaction differences on the bases of the gender of the
speaker. Being male or female decides the style of
person's speech and the form of his language tendencies
that accord with his gender. This keeps true mostly to
adult and old people speech. The aim of this study is to
investigate whether this feature extends to include
children speech, especially, in cartoons. Cartoons are
almost the only favourite media that children are
connected to, of course if social media networks are
excluded. Since, any single attitude presented in cartoons
will be easily adopted by children as they try to imitate
whatever they are exposed to, it is needed to shed light on
the way different gender speeches are portrayed.}
