The Saturday-morning cartoon on broadcast-network TV is dead. And while former kids cried into their Sugar Pops, today's target audience barely noticed.

Perhaps that's because on other platforms —cable and streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu — the Saturday-morning cartoon is alive and well. And the web is filled with all kinds of other videos that kids find captivating — no TV necessary. "In my own house, [my children, ages 12 and 9] don't even ask me to turn on the television ever, let alone Saturday mornings," says Jessica Hartshorn, entertainment editor of Parents magazine.

1. Gaming videos. Maybe you've got a third-grader who's into the world-building game Minecraft. Or maybe you've got a middle-schooler who's into the army-building game Clash of Clans. Either way, you've probably got a kid who's way into watching expert gamers do their thing. "My 7-year-old watches a lot of Minecraft and other YouTube Let's Play videos on the iPad — certainly much more than he watches TV," Matt Doyle of the children-and-technology blog Brightpips says. "I think he would watch them all day if given the chance!"

On YouTube, Stampy (aka Stampylongnose), Paul Soares Jr., and SethBling are among the most popular narrators of kid-friendly Minecraft adventures, each with millions of subscribers and, in Stampy's case, billions of views. Galadon is a top Clash of Clans strategist at Clash of Clans Attacks.

2. Frozen. When Disney's Oscar-winning animated blockbuster was released in the moribund home-video platform last spring, it sold a staggering 3.2 million DVD and Blu-Ray discs in a single day. From there on out, to hear Frozen-fried moms and dads tell it (often on Twitter), it's been nonstop Anna, Elsa, and "Let It Go." "I have two little girls, ages 6 and 2," New York Post film critic Kyle Smith wrote last month, "and each of them has seen Frozen at least four times as many times as I ever saw Star Wars." The title of Smith's column? "How Disney's Frozen Ruined My Life."
