what are you doing
catching your breakfast okay you wanna
catch something only in animation can my
stalk Chipmunks sing and dogs walk on
two feet from now on you’re gonna have
to be on a leash anytime you leave the
yard
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
iconic cartoon animals for this list
we’re taking a look at animals from
movies shorts and TV shows that have had
the greatest impact on animation forever
cementing themselves as cartoon
all-stars the pressures of ruling a
kingdom are no longer yours
step down scar number 10 Felix the Cat
despite being a black cat Felix is one
of the luckiest characters ever to be
drawn breaking out in Hollywood silent
era this wonderful wonderful cat became
the first cartoon to achieve mainstream
fame worthy of Charlie Chaplin
Felix’s popularity dwindled once talkies
hit the scene but he still managed to
pull a couple of successful TV series
and a reviled direct-to-video movie out
of his bag of tricks I’d better use my
little bag of tricks well he hasn’t had
many starring roles as of late felix
remains a household name thanks to his
everlasting mark on animation history
number 9 Tom and Jerry in their prime
this cocky cat and mist of his mouse
dominated the Academy Awards animated
short category taking home seven
trophies their place in the record books
is well deserved as the two perfected
the art of cartoon violence with
ingenious slapstick and razor-sharp
timing using the medium of animation to
its full advantage their brand of comedy
comes from actions and facial
expressions rather than dialogue well
most of the time at least well that
takes care of them what happened in bed
where is she I don’t know maybe we lost
her
there have been other cat and mouse
duo’s but none as inventive or as funny
number 8
scooby-doo with dozens of shows and
animated movies under his collar this
great dane was a special part of
everyone’s childhood
the world has changed a lot since
scooby-doo’s debut in 1969 go see what
it is Scooby oh don’t worry I’m right
behind you
like all long-lasting characters though
Scooby stayed prevalent in our popular
culture without ever needing to be
heavily modernised hey take a look at
scooby he’s really slicking up I can’t
get ready to put on the dog the best
incarnations of the character retained
his cowardly charm while also capturing
his sense of humor and fierce loyalty
when Velma said clue she didn’t mean you
scooby having a hefty appetite for
mystery and scooby snax he always leaves
cartoon junkies hungry for more groovy
fun number 7 Snoopy hey it’s the
shortstop hi pal glad you could make it
while his owner might occasionally wish
for a more normal dog Snoopy is
everybody’s ideal pet show business he’s
my dog he should be home guarding the
house rarely far from his best pal
Woodstock this beagle can pretty much do
anything he puts his mind to whether
it’s riding a motorcycle or turning his
doghouse into a world war 1 fighter
plane the cool silent type Snoopy is
everything Charlie Brown wishes he could
be you’ve been acting awfully
independent lately don’t forget that I’m
the one who made you nevertheless the to
share a loving bond that cannot be
broken with a happy-go-lucky personality
as infectiously joyful as his dance this
dog should be welcome in anyone’s house
number six Garfield Garfield wake up the
character of Garfield speaks to anybody
who’s ever had a fat lazy cat or anybody
who likes spending their days eating
sleeping and watching the tube the
incredible disappearing sandwich trick
everyone shares Garfield cynical
feelings towards Mondays
primarily because we have to wait
another week until his next appearance
in the sunday funnies
Garfield what is it Monday we’ll just
stay here until it’s over the flabby
feline has slightly slimmed down since
his initial appearance in comic strips
but still preserves his round physique
on a diet of lasagna here are your
breakfast lasagnas you may eat your way
to the tree
while his TV adventures range from
laid-back to off-the-wall
hilarious sarcasm typically ensues
whenever Garfield is at center stage
which is where he belongs
got a pretty job woody but somebody has
to do it
number five wily coyote and the
roadrunner abiding for the most part by
nine essential rules penned by Chuck
Jones the confrontation between this
coyote and roadrunner follows a precise
formula Wiley acquires an ACME product
mid backfires and his enemies beeps
encourage him to relentlessly try again
me-me-me
you’d think their cat-and-mouse game
would get old after a while
but the antics of this duo constantly
take us by surprise with hilarious
payoffs many have wondered what it would
be like if the coyote actually did catch
the roadrunner one day if a formula
ain’t broke though don’t fix it
number four Donald Duck a majority of
the main characters under the Walt
Disney brand name are required to have a
strong moral compass and positive
outlook on life
any animator knows however that you can
derive a lot more comedy from a
temperamental loose cannon than an
easygoing role model this is where
Donald Duck comes in constantly picking
fights having zero patience and
screaming in near indecipherable speech
but still possessing a good heart
Donald’s aggression is what makes him so
identifiable to audiences and in a
strange way even lovable
no wonder he’s appeared in more films
than any other Disney character number
three Winnie the Pooh it’s simply
impossible not to like the silly ol bear
named Winnie the Pooh part of poos
appeal stems from his adorable innocent
and gentle nature however who hadn’t
gone very far when a very funny feeling
began to creep over him what makes him a
classic character though is the fact
that he’s imperfect
this bear a very little brain can be
forgetful oblivious and even selfish
when it comes to honey but no matter
what shenanigans Pooh gets stuck in he
remains sincere and helpful whatever it
was that made these tracks has now been
joined by a whatever it is whenever you
hit a rough chapter in life a hug from
Pooh is guaranteed to make you feel
better
who was usual and a little something
along to sustain himself number 2 Mickey
Mouse you can make all the jokes you
want about Mickey Mouse being a devious
mascot running an evil empire but let’s
face it animation would not be what it
is today without this little mouse
his accomplishments are unparalleled as
he helped pioneer sound cartoons and
became the first tune to earn a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame aside from
that Mickey is a consistently endearing
screen presence whether he’s rescuing
his girlfriend Minnie or bringing
broomsticks to life although Mickey has
been around for decades he will truly
never age well well maybe we’ll just
refuse to go on stage before we crown
the king or queen of the cartoon animal
kingdom here are some honorable mentions
hello hello there hello
see what I mean boo-boo what you gonna
do about it yogi I’m gonna get out of
this Park but how are you gonna get past
the Ranger yogi I will use strategy boo
boo watch this 1 2 3 1 2 come on and
join us sure there’s always room for one
more
number 1 Bugs Bunny
this rascally rabbit can get out of
practically any predicament with his
wits charms and even sex appeal if you
can believe it I feel for you if it were
possible to become a cartoon Bugs Bunny
is the character we’d all want to be but
chances are with our luck most of us
would end up being more like Daffy Duck
you’re getting a couple like all the
other great Looney Tunes bugs is so
charismatic that he feels just as real
as most live-action characters and much
more real than many bugs proves that
toons aren’t merely drawings they are
celebrities in their own right
well what did you expect in an opera a
happy ending do you agree with our list

animal for more entertaining top 10s
