Enjoy this list of cartoon characters!

Alvin Chipmunk
	This little guy reaches my list of cartoon characters because of his adorable little chipmunk attitude that never stinks. He is the lead singer of the the group, Alvin and the Chipmunks. He is joined by two other chipmunks in this group.
Angelica Pickles
	You always need a villain in the story, and Angelica doesn't mind fulfilling this role. She is one of the characters in "RugRats", and later created cartoon called "All Grown Up". She will always be the "big sister" and with this comes some responsibilities she might just not always want to accept and some other times she will abuse them.
Arthur
	Arthur is one of those aardvark kids who can teach you quite a bit, since he has his own children books series. I've added him to this list of cartoon characters since he is the only aardvark I know of that has some IQ to talk about.
Atom Ant
Atom Ant was added to the list of cartoon characters because of his special reputation as a superhero-ant. He operated out of an anthill in the countryside, where he had interesting things like a mainframe computer and exercise equipment. He has the powers of flying, super-speed, incredible strength, and invulnerability. He has this adorable catch phrase "Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!" He was often contacted by the police, who sent him out on assignments. This little guy fights various villains including ones that appear more than often, like Ferocious Flea and mad scientist Professor Von Gimmick.
Barney Rubble
	This ancient guy is the bestest-best friend of Fred Flintstone. Barney and his wife, Betty, with their little boy, Bam-Bam has a lot of fun with the Flintstone family in the cartoon called The Flintstones.
Bart Simpson
Another character which can't be left out of this list of cartoon characters. Yep, this naughty one that gets away with a lot of wrong-doings also made the list. He is part of The Simpsons cast. Bart has been described as a 10 year old, who does and says what he wants. He unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) gets into trouble with everything he does. Can you blame him? With a father like his, where Bart is majorly smarter that dad. He usually wears a lucky red hat, carrying a slingshot in his back pocket and rides his skateboard. He's known for pulling pranks, especially prank phone calls to Moe's Tavern. Bart also has many catch phrases, for example, "Ay caramba!", "Get bent", "Eat my shorts", "Don't have a cow, man" and the very famous "D'oh!". In fact, Bart's first words were, "Ay caramba!"
Batman
	A handsome man with the man-made powers and the costume of a bat. A list of cartoon characters just won't be complete without Batman.

Beavis & Butt-Head
This wacky duo gets you laughing in your seat with no sweat at all. They are just silly. These two are socially useless, rock-loving teenage boys. They live in the town of Highland, Texas. They attend high school where their teachers are often at a loss as to how to deal with them although in many episodes the two skip school. They occasionally work part-time at Burger World and sometimes other side-jobs when people mistake their odd behavior as outgoing and assertive. One thing is their lack of conventional values. They are highly obnoxious, degrading and rude to almost every other character in the show, including each other. However, they do not realize this and seem to function on an instinct level. They survive their often hazardous misadventures without serious consequences though others around them do not fare as well. In each episode are segments in which Beavis and Butt-Head watch music videos and provide humorous and bizarre commentary.
Betty Boop
	This sexy girl will have you drooling at a distance. Betty Boop was a star in the 1930s, when films with sound overtook the silent films. Even though she were in black and white, she still had sex appeal, a cutesy voice and ditzy charm that made her a hit. Today, her image is iconic, and it appears on all kinds of merchandise which people buy without ever really seeing even one of her cartoons. She still makes a few debuts in some of today's cartoons.
Blossom
	Part of the Powerpuff Girls trio, Blossom is always the one that pulls her weight as the leader of the pack. She has the voice of reason and usually makes sure that everything on a mission goes right. This list of cartoon characters has to include her, but not only her, the complete trio is here.
Boo-Boo
	There's a lot more to this little bear than meets the eye. He is most of the time more aware of the situation than Yogi. As part of the Yogi Bear Show, Boo-Boo keeps Yogi, or at least tries to, out of trouble.
Brutus
This mean, baddy is always on Popeye's case. He always wants the girl, but never gets her. Brutus has always been part of the Popeye shows to keep the tension going.
Bugs Bunny
	"What's up doc?" That everlasting phrase, you just won't forget. This is the unmistakable catch phrase of this crazy, yet very famous, Bugs Bunny. He is, perhaps, the most recognizable and famous cartoon character. Looney Tunes were first created as lead-ins to feature films. It was only later that the cartoons became a standard TV cartoon. Generations later, Bugs Bunny is still at the top of any A-list.
Buttercup
	The fighter of the team. She doesn't really have patients for anything at all, but her sisters sure do adore her. Her morals are sometimes a bit more in question than the other two. She has the weirdest ideas sometimes. For example, she realized that she can get money for her teeth, so she went and hit out all the teeth of the bad guys just to get whole bag of money under her pillow. Unfortunately, The Professor found out, so did the baddies, and she ended up at the dentist paying for her own broken teeth with the "profit".

Cartman
Eric Theodore Cartman is a character on the American animated television series South Park. One of the four main characters along with Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Kenny McCormick Voiced by Trey Parker, Cartman is an overweight, spoiled, foul-mouthed, mean-spirited, selfish, and ill-tempered fourth-grader living with his mother in South Park, Colorado, where he commonly has extraordinary experiences not typical of conventional small-town life. Cartman is one of the most popular characters on the show, and has remained one of the most recognizable television characters ever since South Park became a hit during its first season.
CatWoman
	She was brought back to life by Sacred Cats, now she is CatWoman. She has to be included in this list of cartoon characters as one woman with some gggrrreat cat skills. As any other superhero, she does her duty and saves her part of humans.
Charlie Brown
This little man is simply the most passive one I know, but still he makes the list of cartoon characters. The kid who never kicks the football, whose dog is more popular than he is and who has a crush on the red-headed girl, still stays popular with everyone. "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown" is based on the famous comic strip "Peanuts" created by Charles M. Schulz. Sadsack and unlucky Charlie Brown leads the group, that includes his dog Snoopy, his sister Sally, his best friend Linus, and Linus's bossy sister, Lucy.
Daffy Duck
	Simply "dis-spicable". He certainly is a bit daffy when it comes to what he usually says. Regardless his tantrums and schemes, he still makes for one of the greatest cartoon characters.  This duck might be envious or jealous of Bugs Bunny, but he is still needed to make the Bugs Bunny cartoons work. Even though his actions are "despicable"!
Donald Duck
	An angry little duck, with the temper of a time bomb. An when he gets angry... well, luckily no one knows what he is saying. As Mickey Mouse's cynical sidekick - Donald Duck still stays a  favorite cartoon character. He has the temper of a lion with a thorn stuck in his foot, he speaks an almost unrecognizable language of his own, but his eye-rolling attitude and exasperation with most of the world is what makes him Donald.
Eeyore
	This is no ordinary donkey. He has a tail that you can play pin-the-tail with. But, he doesn't mind - actually - he doesn't mind anything.
Eliza Thornberry
This middle child of the Wild Thornberry parents, has been given a gift by a Shaman. This gift wasn't 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. There's only one catch to her gift - she can't 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 wasn't hers to control.
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.

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 Cosby's live-action cameos, and the gang always gathered in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a rock song on their cobbled-together instruments. Cosby's Kids had an upbeat attitude and were eager to learn, in spite of their apparent poverty.
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.
George of the Jungle
	He makes the list of cartoon characters, although he came originally from a movie for kids. Okay, he's definitely not Tarzan, but he still does some good in the jungle.
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 there's 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 NBC's 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.
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 Mouse's sidekicks. As a Walt Disney cartoon character, he sure helps for more silly laughter in his cartoons.
Heckle & 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 aren't 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".
Homer Simpson
	Right, he drinks too much and gives stupid a bad name. What else do you want to know? Oh yeah, he's part of The Simpsons cast.

Tom & 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 don't 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.
Josie
	This little lady is the leader of the musical band called "Josie and the Pussycats". In between gigs they also solve a little mystery here and there. She is the leader of the "Josie and the Pussycats" band, but since she is the most famous of them all, I added just her to the list of cartoon characters, for now.
Lisa Simpson
	Musical, intelligent, not-so-pretty, but still the sensible one of the Simpson bunch. The whole Simpsons family is in this list of cartoon characters, so you will find Homer, Marge, Bart and Maggie as well.
Lucy
	She is ever so in love with Charlie Brown, but, alas, he has no meaning of falling into her trap. Lucy is part of the Peanuts cartoon series. She also started with Charlie Brown and Snoopy in the first series.
Maggie Simpson
	The baby of The Simpsons family. All she can do is suck her dummy and crawl around, but don't be fooled, she is up to more than you can think of. Yep, from baby to bad-guy, this list of cartoon characters has (almost) them all.
Marjorie "Marge" Simpson
	The famous Simpsons mother of a whole disturbing family. She is a well-meaning and extremely patient mother to all three of her children. She still makes sure they seem "normal", although, nothing in Springfield is "normal".
Mickey Mouse
	The beloved mouse with a character to cuddle to bits. He will always be someone in our minds.

Mighty Mouse
	Brave, strong, super... what? He's a mouse? Jip, some super mighty mouse that saves the day.
Minnie Mouse
	Mickey's girlfriend and companion in most of his cartoon shows. Sweet, gentle and most cuddlesome.
Olive-Oil
	She sometimes wavers to choose Popeye when Brutus enters the scene, but every time (after a bit of spinach) Popeye prevails as the winner, and obviously Olive falls into his hands. All of them makes the list of cartoon characters, even Olive does.
Pebbles Flintstone
	Fred and Wilma Flintstone's only daughter, their pride and joy. Her best friend is Bam-Bam who is the son of Barney Rubble. Barney is, of course, the best friend of Fred Flintstone. Pebbles and Bam-Bam has come a long way together, I even saw them together as more-than-friends in a later Flintstones series. However, she still has been added to the list of cartoon characters.
Piglet
	Piglet is one of my favorite cartoon characters. With his little stuttering and fear of, well, everything he deserves a little spot in everyone's heart. He is one of Winnie the Pooh's best friends.
Pikachu
	This yellow little friend also deserves a spot on the list of cartoon characters. Pikachu has gotten his spotlight from the Animé cartoon, Pokémon.
Pink Panther
Pink Panther is a character who inspires a tune in your head as soon as you see him. The Pink Panther is a series of animated shorts, designed to appear at the opening and closing credits of live-action films starring Inspector Clouseau. He was so popular that he became his own show. With a nose for clues, an eye for intrigue and a mind like a steel trap that's jammed shut, The Inspector sets out to solve Paris' most puzzling crime mysteries. The Pink Panther, even if he is a thief, still stays a favorite in any audience's heart. Even the Pink Panther tune will stick in your head in many ways.
Pluto
	You will never understand what he says, but as Mickey Mouse's dog he is still a catch. He has been in many Walt Disney cartoons as well as in Mickey Mouse Club House, and House of Mouse. It seems that this dog can't be left out of anything, not even the list of cartoon characters.

Popeye
"I'm Popeye the sailor man... toot-toot..." This is a good example of the effects of spinach on a person. If only our kids would believe in this "spinach" myth. But this would be better than the pipe in his mouth, which makes me think why so many children smoke today. But, nonetheless, Popeye still makes an entrance into a child's heart. With his bulging forearms, squinty eyes and staccato chuckle he is still recognized by many generations. This sure is one crazy Sailorman that's been added to the list of cartoon characters
Road Runner
	"meep-meep". Jip, he doesn't talk much (actually never), which makes me wonder where his intelligence comes from to dodge the Coyote all the time. He doesn't even have anything up his sleeve to out-dodge Wile E. Coyote, but still he outwits him and his traps.
Robin
	He is the sidekick of Batman, but don't tell him that, he just might get cocky about it. He has learned from the great master (that is Batman) on how to be a hero of the town. Still, he seems to be a sidekick of Batman, and never goes out on his own. Actually, that's what Batman was hoping for, but Robin takes chance on his own whenever he sees an opportunity. It's his sure independency that gave him a spot in the list of cartoon characters.
Scooby-Doo
	Wow, I've never seen a more intelligent dog than Scooby-Doo, and he even talks too! "Scooby-Doo, where are you?", then you know exactly what we're talking about. Their humor can be seen on two levels. The first, as seen through the eyes of a child, they're just silly cowards who somehow always save the day and remain best friends. But watch Scooby-Doo as an adult, and you'll wonder if the van driving, spacey talk and continual snacking are lifestyle symptoms of the same folks who inspired this animation. Nevertheless, Scooby-Doo is still loved by millions, and re-runs of the first editions is still shown on the TV Network.
Shaggy
	This is Scooby's best friend, they do everything together, even get scared together and then run away together. Mmmm... makes you wonder. Shaggy is part of the Scooby-Doo gang who solves some interesting mysteries, something scary which turns out to be a guy in a suit. He is added to the list of cartoon characters because he might just as well be as famous as Scooby-Doo.
Simon Chipmunk
	This is another brother from Alvin and the Chipmunks, but Simon is the intelligent one. He understands greater things than the other two. Together with Alvin and Theo they create the greatest music ever heard. Those voices are the thing that gave them the name. If you ever hear someone say "You sound just like a chipmunk" and you haven't got a clue what they are talking about, well, they mean you sound like these guys. And no, I don't think they do it with Helium.
Snoopy
	Now this is a dog close to my heart. He's been around for ages. Got to love him and never leave him out of a list of cartoon characters. Snoopy is Charlie Brown's faithful dog, but he always has a story of his own.  One might think that he always lives on top of his doghouse. "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown" has been enjoyed for generations, and will be for years to come.

Spiderman
	A legend of his own, Spiderman is man with spider abilities. Intriguing every time, he has many foes to overcome with every episode. Spiderman falls into the class of Batman and Superman, they all made the list of cartoon characters.
SpongeBob SquarePants
A squared-shaped sponge who lives under the sea. I had to include him in the list of cartoon characters with no fear. This cartoon premiered in 1999. Since then, the SpongeBob SquarePants characters has become an American icon. He is absorbent, yellow and porous, as the theme song indicates. This little guy is naive and excited all the time. He lives in a pineapple next to Squidward and Patrick. SpongeBob works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. He wakes every morning to the sound of a fog horn alarm clock. His favorite past time is jelly fishing. He lives a few fathoms beneath the tropical isle of Bikini Atoll in the sub-surface city of Bikini Bottom. Instead of being logical about everyday challenges, SpongeBob approaches life in a wayward and unconventional way.  Whether searching for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping technique at the Krusty Krab, or just hanging out with his best friend Patrick, SpongeBob's good intentions and overzealous approach to life usually create chaos in his underwater world.
Superman
	This guy needs no introduction. Neither could I ever dream of not including him in the list of cartoon characters. He's been around before everyone's time and probably will be after everyone has gone. I think he will always remain a superhero in my heart.
The Joker
	Sounds like a funny one but he sure is a madman of kind. Just another one of Batman's nemeses. Ooh, creepie. I guess the purple outfit should say something about his mood.
Theodore "Theo" Chipmunk
	Bestest friend of Alvin and together they make the most beautiful music as the group called Alvin and the Chipmunks. Theo is the fat one so I assume his the one who's been eating all the cookies. Yet, as plump as he is, he still stays cute.
Tigger
	He's not really the brightest bulb in the string, but he sure can glow when he wants to. This tiger jumps on his tail like a spring and keeps the funnies going around. He is one of Winnie the Pooh's best friends, and together they sure have fun.
Tommy Pickles
	As part of the RugRats troop, Tommy are always the innocent one learning a lot of things with his buddies. He doesn't stand a chance against Angelica, but he always seems to come out on top after a grave incident involving her. He had to be added to the list of cartoon characters.

Top Cat
	The leader of a gang of alley cats, he, known as TC. He'll never admit that they live on the street, but still he gives Office Dibble the long story. Top Cat is cool, but his morals are a tad looser than his gang's, leading to occasional mutiny. Nevertheless, T.C. always remains the leader of the gang. Top Cat was released in 1960 by Hanna-Barbera animation studios.
Tweety & Sylvester
Sylvester is always on the prowl to get Tweety, where this little bird simply replies "I taught I thaw a putty-tat" Another duo of cartoon characters created by Chuck Jones, that I've included in the list of cartoon characters. Tweety Bird and Sylvester keeps each other on their toes, with Sylvester losing out on a yummy bird meal every time. It seems he just can't get that yellow, juicy, little bird for lunch. Both their characters keeps the audience watching as Sylvester just might catch Tweety this time. One reason why I prefer to watch Sylvester and Tweety is because the are not like the Tom and Jerry cartoons, where they nearly kill each other, and the next moment they are fine, without a scratch. (This is kind of hard to explain to kids)
Wile E. Coyote
	He has set all the traps you can think of and even can't think of for the Road Runner, but alas, he has failed again. Wile E. Coyote is included in the list of cartoon characters, not because he has any special main character status (and I say that in the nicest way possible, because Roadrunner usually takes the shine), but because without him the Roadrunner would have any fun.
Wilma Flintstone
	She is the wife of Fred Flintstone, and most of the time she can talk some sense into him. She is part of the cast of The Flintstones and with her best friend and neighbor, Betty Rubble, they also have a lot of fun, just like the boys. I just had to include her into the list of cartoon characters.
Winnie the Pooh
A cuddly bear that's included in the list of cartoon characters, has also been around since the dawn of the dinosaurs. Winnie-the-Pooh, originally a children's book, was published in 1926 with the character of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore. The second collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories, "The House at Pooh Corner", was published two years later and introduced the character Tigger. Since then, the books have been published in over twenty languages, worldwide. The author, A. A. Milne (Alan Alexander Milne), was inspired for these stories by his son and his son's stuffed animals. The little boy who talks to the animals was named Christopher Robin, after the name of A. A. Milne's real-life son. The name "Winnie" came from another real black bear, which Christopher Robin adored, in the London Zoo. "Winnie" was short for "Winnipeg". The "Pooh" part of the name came from the name of a swan. Thus, the name of the famous lazy bear in the stories became Winnie the Pooh even though traditionally "Winnie" is a girl's name and Winnie the Pooh is definitely a boy bear. Shepard's drawings of the fictional Winnie-the-Pooh world and characters were how most children envisioned them until Walt Disney bought the film rights to Winnie-the-Pooh in 1961.
Woody Woodpecker
	One cartoon character that makes the list of cartoon characters is one that's got this very contagious laugh, that's why I don't even dare to write it down. Woody Woodpecker, unlike most of the cartoon characters, lives to cause trouble. He has the ability to irritate any and everyone in his cartoon series. But he has, as his famous trademark, his cackling, stuttering laugh, which makes him OK for millions to watch and enjoy.
Yogi Bear
	This bear is a resident of the Yellowstone National Park. But, he thinks he owns the place, stealing lunches and so on. He sure is included in the list of cartoon characters because of his status as a famous cartoon. Another Hanna-Barbera cartoon series creation was the team of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo. Like other classic Hanna-Barbera characters, Yogi continually found himself in trouble with the game ranger and Boo Boo usually figured a way out. The duo live in Jellystone National Park, where no visitors' picnic basket is safe. Yet Yogi still stays a lovable character in all the viewers eyes.
