Cartoon Characters

Cartoon characters are personas from cartoons, which are animated moving sequences .
21. Eliza Thornberry
This middle child of the Wild Thornberry parents, has been given a gift by a Shaman. This gift wasnt an ordinary gift, but the gift to talk to animals.

She seems to be doing an excellent job with this gift of hers, where she saves the lives of countless animals. Theres only one catch to her gift - she cant tell anybody about it, otherwise she would lose this unique gift.

In the movie The Wild Thornberrys, she is forced to tell her secret, whereupon she lost her gift. This was quite unnerving for Eliza, even more for her pet baboon, Darwin. But luckily the Shaman gave her gift back, since the tattle-tale wasnt hers to control.

22. Elmer Fudd
The poor, senseless, unknowing hunter of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. He just happens to be there! His role is probably necessary for the third party of satire.

But he is still loved by millions today as one of the not-so-intelligent cartoon characters.

23. Fat Albert
Fat Albert primarily spoke to African-American youth in low-income families, a segment of the population previously ignored by Saturday morning programming.

However, the show had an impact on children across the United States, regardless of race.

The show always had an educational lesson emphasized by Cosbys live-action cameos, and the gang always gathered in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a rock song on their cobbled-together instruments.

Cosbys Kids had an upbeat attitude and were eager to learn, in spite of their apparent poverty.

24. Felix the Cat
Not just another cat, but a black cat with attitude.Felix, a black and white cat, was created during the silent film era of the early 20th Century. His simple form and face made him easily recognizable. He was also the first cartoon character that gained so much popularity that he was awarded a feature film. Surely a cartoon for this list of cartoon characters.
25. George of the Jungle
He makes the list of cartoon characters, although he came originally from a movie for kids. Okay, hes definitely not Tarzan, but he still does some good in the jungle.
26. Gerald McBoing Boing
This little guy is a bit older than the rest, but he still makes the list of cartoon characters.Gerald McBoing-Boing is the story of a little boy who speaks through sound effects instead of spoken words. The story is about Gerald McCloy, who at the age of 2 years begins talking in the form of sound effects. His first word being the titular boing boing. His panicked father calls the doctor, who informs him that theres nothing he can do about it.

As Gerald grows up, he picks up more sounds and is able to make communicative gestures, but is still incapable of uttering a single word English. Despite this, he is admitted to a general public school, where he is harassed by his peers and given the name Gerald McBoing-Boing.

After startling and angering his father, he decides to run away and hop a train to an unknown location. However, just before he catches the train, a talent scout from the NBC Radio Network discovers him. He is then hired as NBCs Foley artist, performing shows for a division of the company labeled XYZ on the microphones, and becomes very famous, with the last scene showing him riding with his parents in a very expensive automobile among a crowd of fans.

27. Goofey
Jip, his name says it all. This chap is always very jolly and he can (and usually does) goof up anything and everything.

He is also one of Mickey Mouses sidekicks. As a Walt Disney cartoon character, he sure helps for more silly laughter in his cartoons.

28. Heckle and Jeckle
These characters are a pair of identical magpies who calmly outwitted their foes in the manner of Bugs Bunny, while maintaining a mischievous streak reminiscent of Woody Woodpecker.

They might be a of the bit-older cartoons, but they arent forgotten in this list of cartoon characters.

However, in a number of their cartoons, well maybe most of them, their foes win in the end. Their names were inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson who is the famous writer of Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

29. Homer Simpson
Right, he drinks too much and gives stupid a bad name. What else do you want to know? Oh yeah, hes part of The Simpsons cast.
30. Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry, on the other hand, chase each other, torment each other and generally try to defeat the other, with the most horrible things, and then they dont even have a scratch on them after a bomb explosion! Though Tom has the upper hand more than, say, Sylvester, he still has yet to make a meal of Jerry.

This is not a cartoon that I would let my small children watch. It gives the idea that one can hurt each other and nothing comes of it. So, if your children are trying kill each other, stop wondering why.

Tom and Jerry is a cartoon created for older children who understand the difference between reality and imagination.

But, they still needed to be added to this list of cartoon characters, because they still make a great impact on children.
