I agree it is very bad to lie to children by using cartoons.
I agree it is very bad to teach children to idolize a sinful human.
I agree it is very bad to take the focus off the One who saves eternally and substitute the one who was blessed to hear Him.
So at last we agree!

Something else that a child can understand but something Catholic-haters have a hard time understanding.
One of the 10 Commandments is honoring your mother and father.
Jesus’ mother was Mary.
He honored her.
We all have an earthly, physical mother. We are told to honor her. Christians also have a spiritual mother and her name is Mary.
We are told to emulate Christ in our lives. If Christ honored his mother and we are told to live like Christ, how can you not honor his/your mother?
God exhorts us to honor father and mother. He values honoring parents enough to include it in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:12) and again in the New Testament: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise, so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth” (Ephesians 6:1-3). Honoring parents is the only command in Scripture that promises long life as a reward. Those who honor their parents are blessed (Jeremiah 35:18-19). In contrast, those with a “depraved mind” and those who exhibit ungodliness in the last days are characterized by disobedience to parents (Romans 1:30; 2 Timothy 3:2).
