Your favorite animated character.
 

Ok so this idea has been kicking around in my head for a couple of days. I was wondering what people's favorite characters from animated cartoons, movies, anime, etc. are. I'll start- my picks would be General Iroh from AtLA, and Schmendrick from The Last Unicorn.

I don’t watch much animation, but I’ll go with David Xanatos from Gargoyles. He’s just so awesome. One of the few villains I find myself rooting for. Close second is Green Goblin from Spectacular Spider-Man.

Both villains. I guess I just find villains more interesting.

I'm sure mine is probably a very cliche and uninteresting answer around here, but yeah, it's Leo. But that's why I'm here. *shrug* :twink:

Another that always gets an honorable mention however is Flynn Rider (or more properly Eugene Fitzherbert but that require Google to spell it out lol).

If games count, I've also long had a soft spot for WoW's Blood Elf guys.

Changes all the time, but right now it's Peter B Parker.

I had to think a bit about this, but I have decided that my favourite animated character is none other than Shere Khan from Disney's The Jungle Book (1967).

Very early on in the film, it is established that he is the main reason why Mowgli must leave the jungle, but we don't see him until 2/3rds of the film has passed.

Instead, he is constantly built up by other characters as this big and ruthless threat, and the final result doesn't dissapoint one bit.

Voiced by George Sanders, Shere Khan is so well-mannered and polite, that he actually comes off as pretty intimidating, much before the big final battle which really showcases what a powerful badass he is (being defeated only by dumb luck).

There isn't much to his character besides hating man, but just the sheer style, elegance and class that he possesses makes him my favourite Disney villain, much more than the other famous bad cat, Scar.

So 1 from each category or just listing everyone?

Games: Sonic...though he could technically fit each one :D

Cartoon TV series: TMNT. I’ll say Donatello.

Animated Movie: I guess Genie from Aladdin.

I don’t really watch anime. Pikachu? Pokémon is the only anime I watched for awhile.

Given his level of snark, he became my favorite animated character right next to Fred Wolf Krang.

Pre-2000s Lisa Simpson was practically everything I looked for in a female role model.

Some really interesting picks here! I should probably have said "of all time" in the OP, but it's fine. I know some people may have multiple picks, and that's cool. This was just something hubby and I were talking about yesterday, so I decided to see what others' picks might be.

Aside from TMNT: Snoopy & family, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Sonic & friends, Woody Woodpecker & family.

Too hard to answer, there is a big short list, Homer Simpson, Daffy duck, Leonardo, Mickey Mouse, Simba, to name a few. I can't choose:(:lol:

Gargoyles is my favourite animated show overall, so my favourite animated character is Elisa.

This is a tough question for me to answer since it depends on my mood and many factors.

Being a TMNT forum you'd naturally think I'm gonna say one of the Ninja Turtles, but it's a bit hard for me to view them as isolated units/characters. The four turtles need each other and bring the best and worst out of each other. Makes sense, considering the four of them are equally the main characters and stars of their shows.

I'm gonna say Madoka Ayukawa from Kimagure Orange Road.

Has Spiderman always been that snarky? Caught the new animated one a few nights ago since it landed on Netflix and was kind of surprised. Thought, Wow, he kind of acts like Deadpool... Or does Deadpool act like Spiderman? :tlol: I've only really ever been familiar with Tobey Maguire's more mild mannered version, but that was years ago.

Definitely Leo. Like a dear old friend right there; he definitely holds a place in my heart unlike any other fictional character ever has. (Though only here will I willingly sound that sappy about it. heh)

I guess Rei is not your all time favorite? If anime is counted, my all time favorite is Kei lol. 80's Kei, not the remake from the late 90's. Of course I am talking about Dirty Pair. That fiery Red Head shoot first ask questions later. That and she has a short temper lol. Funny in the 80's anime, she is a Lot closer to Yuri, There best friends, yeah they have there arguments over food and stuff, but the anime shows they really care for each other. In the 90's reboot, it seem they can that friendship were they can hardly stand each other. That was not really what made the 80's Anime great.

Belle from Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated character. She has so much depth and got her happily ever after all by herself. Belle never needed the help of a Fairy Godmother or talking mice nor did she have to bargain with an evil sea witch to get it. In 2008, I began to love her even more than I did before. There was guy who bullied me that was so much like Gaston. Everyone else who knew him thought he was the greatest guy in the entire world, but like Belle I was the only one to truly see that he was nothing more than an arrogant and shallow jerk. When I shared my story with Paige O'Hara, Belle's voice actress, last year at Fan Expo Dallas, she was so touched by it.

I love this topic! :tgrin: And I will definitely come back to give my two cents on it. :D Because I have a lot! But to chime in on FredWoldLeonardo I too like Sher Kahn but I really like his Tailspin anthropomorphic iteration voiced by Tony Jay.The persona of the cool intimidating business man was just sweet. Drink this up:

Kevin Conroy Batman cause he is the best Batman ever

I watched through the entire video.

Tony Jay does a perfect impression ot George Sanders, just as smooth and intimidating.

Ofc I like Rei Hino/Sailor Mars, but she's not my absolute favourite. She's top 10, though.

Hard to compare anime and cartoon characters, anyway. Also, there's cartoons and anime for all sort of age demographics out there.

Dirty Pair was fun. I also liked Bubblegum Crisis. My favourite Dirty Pair girl was the blue haired one. What was her name again? :lol:

I think the blue-haired lady's name was Yuri and her partner's name was Kei.

I like Yuri also. I was watching a video on in depth review of Dirty Pair and how it got into the character of Kei and Yuri's growth in the 80's series. People may think its mindless action 80's stuff, but there is a bit of character growth in the 80's series.

Not counting turtles.

Superman
Vegeta
Akuma
Kratos
Frank Castle

Isn't that mostly said about Western cartoons and comics, not Japanese Anime and Manga?

Ah right, Yuri, ofc. How could I forget.

It also had a good OST. Particularly the OPs and EDs. Meiko Nakahara had such a beautiful voice. Kimagure Orange Road and Bubblegum Crisis also have great music. I love me some 80s jpop music.

The opening was great, I still get a kick out of that tune. Its so 80's.

The OVA also had a good opening, not as epic as the TV show though, but its pretty good. A bit more calm in tune.

And Love or Hate Flash it had a pretty good opening. Not sure I should link it because you do see a bit of Kei's breast during the transformation scene of the opening. (Dirty Pair is NOT Cutie Honey) Yeah I am just a big fan of the series, I cant help myself lol.
