Not sure that I agree with the assertion that these cartoons are "educational"... but that might just be a definitional difference. At any rate, I would presume that teachers wouldn't have cartoons playing in the background while children are trying to attend to their work.
Obviously I'm not suggesting teachers play cartoons in the classroom. I was just making an analogy. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with colorfulness. It's the educational content that matters.

And PBSkids cartoons certainly contributed to our children's early reading. They definitely have educational content that most cartoons lack.
