to children mainly because it’s a cartoon and the fact
that it’s different than a lot of typical animated

5. HYPODERMIC NEEDLE• Definition
• The Hypodermic needle theory is a linear communication theory that
suggests that media messages are injected directly into the brains of
passive audiences. In this theory the media is seen as powerful and able to
'inject' ideas into an audience who are seen as weak and passive and could
be influenced by a message.

• Such as in newspapers they choose what we hear and what
we find out about.
