It's part of the movie itself not the cable. Nothing you can do except play around with the sharpness of both the TV and Player.

Go watch Alien vs Predator part 1 , dark scenes so much noice it's really bad. Sometimes more obvious than the DVD itself because the sharpnes of Blu-ray make the noise appear even more clearly.

Cartoons are computer generated/drawn pictures so no problems with noise unlike real movies which are shot with movie cameras which are affected by noise espc in the absense of light.

Try 'Knowing' starring Nicolas Cage.

Generally if the movie already has noticeable grain, any adjustment (whether at the TV level or the Blu-ray player level) won't make a big difference. The grain will still be seen clearly.

Needless to say, the higher the sharpness adjustment the grainer it will be. Similarly the higher the Noise reduction set, the less noise there will be, but then the picture will have a softer texture, less sharp.

Up to each individual to balance it to their satisfaction.
