Is drawing and making cartoon figures and characters, and crochet bears that make the viewer feel innocent and take him back to childhood, considered unlawful (haram)?

Drawing animate beings and making dolls is forbidden, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, the most severely punished people by Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers," and his saying: "Every image-maker will be in the Fire, for every image he made, a soul will be created for it, which will torment him in Hell." As for drawing inanimate objects such as trees, mountains, and buildings, there is no harm in it. Leisure time is a blessing, and it should be utilized for what benefits one in their religion and worldly life, such as reciting the Qur'an, acquiring beneficial knowledge, and remembering Allah. There is no objection to recreation through permissible means.
