Facebook Profile Pics Get Animated!

A new craze has been taking over Facebook for the past two days and it all started with this message:


Change your Facebook profile picture to a cartoon character from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same, for the NSPCC. Until Monday (December 6th), there should be no human faces on Facebook, but an invasion of memories. This is a campaign to stop violence against children!

 

And just like that profile pictures around the world have been changed to the plethora of characters that seem to have taken over Facebook.

Young and old alike are reliving their childhood memories with characters from Disney films and popular kids TV shows. Some of the standout favourites have been:

The Smurfs, Pokemon, Aladin, Danger Mouse, Dragon Ball Z, Wacky Races, The Flinstones, Scooby Doo, Recess, The Little Mermaid, The Simpsons, Cinderella and many many more.

This has been a clever way to use the power of Facebook for a good cause. Hopefully people will stop and think of all those children who are not able to enjoy their own childhood.

Have you been taking part? What was your favourite childhood cartoon character?
