In today’s multimedia-driven world, young learners do particularly benefit from modern cartoons which improve English language learning as powerful tools. This study explores the role of modern cartoons as they are a supplementary tool in English language learning for young learners. Cartoons offer a unique environment toward developing vocabulary, listening skills, and pronunciation. Cartoons have engaging visuals as well as repetitive language coupled with contextual storytelling that can provide this environment. This research studies how media that combines sound with visuals can aid language learning inside plus outside classrooms via well-known animated films such as “Encanto”, “Dora the Explorer”, “Frozen”, “Moana”, “Coco”, and “The Lion King”.
