'''Cartoon pornography''' is the portrayal of illustrated fictional cartoon characters in erotic or sexual situations.

Because historically most cartoons have been produced for child and all-ages audiences, cartoon pornography has sometimes been subject to criticism and extra scrutiny compared to live-action erotic films or photographs. It is somewhat common in Japan, where it is part of a genre of entertainment commonly referred to as ''[[hentai]]''.

== History ==
One of the earliest examples of erotic animation is ''[[Eveready Harton in Buried Treasure]]'', a 6.5-minute silent black-and-white animated film produced in 1928 by three US animation studios, for a private party. It features a perpetually-erect man who has various misadventures with other characters, farm animals, and his detachable penis.

Japanese hentai is a popular genre of cartoon pornography.

Cartoon pornography is the portrayal of illustrated fictional cartoon characters in erotic or sexual situations.

Legal status

The legal status of cartoon pornography varies from country to country. In addition to the normal legal status of pornography, much cartoon pornography depicts potentially minor [that is, underage] characters engaging in sexual acts. One of the primary reasons for this may be due to the many cartoons featuring major characters who are not adults. Cartoon pornography does not always have depictions of minors in sexual acts or situations, but that which does may fall under the jurisdiction laws concerning child pornography. Drawings of pre-existing characters can in theory be in violation of copyright law no matter the situation the characters are shown in.
