This historical, diachronic, descriptive and analytical study examines the advertising strategies in cartoons: indirect and wellestablished advertising, surreptitious and unregulated, emerging and unknown strategies and cross-media and transmedia actions. The research shows that the indirect modality is typical of European cinema, while the surreptitious one is present in all films. Credit-roll is the most abundant strategy, although its brevity veils it; there is a great presence of product placement and brand placement, barely noticeable due to its subtlety, and enhanced by its animated nature. Besides licensed products, there are interactive marketing actions (multiplatforms, Web 2.0) that produce transfers of audiovisual consumption in related industries and connected circles.
