According to a recent study by the University of Virginia, fast-paced cartoons like 'Spongebob Squarepants' can affect brain function for pre-schoolers.

The study used 60 children aged four years old and split into three groups; one watching part of Spongebob Squarepants, one watched a slow-paced cartoon called 'Caillou' and one with just drawing pictures. Interesting, since Spongebob is usually aimed at 6+.
