Document analysis design was used in the study conducted to determine\radult-child relationships in cartoons. In order to determine the cartoons to be\rexamined in the study, first, the rating list was accessed on the internet.\rAfterwards, the productions reflecting adult-child relationships were reviewed\raccording to their rating order and three cartoons were selected for analysis.\rThe cartoons in the list are Kral Şakir, Gumball and Powerpuff Girls,\rrespectively. In this respect, cartoons were first subjected to descriptive\ranalysis followed by content analysis. In the study examining the adult-child\rrelationships in the most watched cartoons, it was seen that the relationships in\rinternational productions stand out with thefeatures of interest, insecurity and\rselfishness while trust, love and honesty came to the fore in national\rproductions. It was found that typological uniformization between adult and\rchild characters was conducted in all fictions examined.\r
