Nowadays society, when technologies are increasingly advanced and accessible, it is common for children to use and adapt to them very quickly, whereas child development occurs according to the interaction with environment. However, this integration with the technological environment has led the population to new habits by replacing, for example, listening and reading fairy tales to watch cartoons on TV. In this perspective, the present work consists of a reflection on how the fairy tales have lost space for the media and how this can influence children's behavior. Thus, the objective was to explore what can occur in the massive substitution of the child's imaginary construction from fairy tales by cartoons. In order to develop a critical work on the subject, a bibliographical review was carried out to allow the dialogue on a theme that becomes important because it deals with the development of children. Therefore, the concept and a brief history about fairy tales are presented at the first moment, showing their importance to children's imagination and the relevance of this to the development of the child. In the second moment, it is reported a brief history of cartoons, how they came to be part of children's daily life and how it influences children's imagination and development. In the third moment, the influence of fairy tales and cartoons on child development is discussed, as well as the substitution of fairy tales for cartoons and overexposure of children. Lastly, the final considerations, from both contrary and favorable points of view about the constant use of the media by the children's audience, aiming at the importance of fairy tales in the imaginary and the awareness that there is no way to be protected against technologies. This highlights the need to balance the time when children use the media as entertainment and the time when they can be entertained with fairy tales to ensuring quality reading education.
