Over the years I’ve grown to love some animated cartoon characters. Here are my favourites. The only one in order is Kronk.
1. Kronk, Emperor’s New Groove. Totally iconic, hilarious, impossible not to love.
2. Edna, The Incredibles. Larger than life, self-absorbed, hysterical, snippy.
3. Buck. Ice Age something-or-other. I laughed out loud the first time I saw him.
4. Po, Kung Fu Panda. Jack Black’s portly master is just plain awesome.
5. Yzma, Emperor’s New Groove. All time favourite villainess. She’s slimy, impossibly corrupt… and will pause to have tea when needed.
6. Hammie, Over the Hedge. “I want my cookie!”
7. Bruce, Finding Nemo. Two-thousand pounds of intimidation and no hope for change.
8. The Abominable Snowman, Monsters, Inc. Snow cones. Need I say more?
9. Rhino, Bolt. A hamster with a death-wish? In a ball? I’m sold.
10. Sid, Ice Age movies. Speech impediment, stink issues, stupid as spit, and so awesome.
Now that I’ve got you all warmed up, weigh in? What are some of your favourite animated characters, and why?
If you haven’t already, it’s time to subscribe to this blog.
It might not count because it’s a tv show, but my favourite animated character is Momo from Avatar, the last airbender. He’s a flying lemur and a bit of a glutton. And it’s very hard not to love him.
Havent’ seen that one. I’ll have to check it out one day.
I see the two of the “New Groove” characters out there. There is just something really sharp about that movie; I like it too. There are so MANY great characters out there, I am afraid that I would hurt myself trying to remember them all.
One that pops out for me is the one pictured above from “Meet the Robinsons”. I loved the “Goob” character in both his younger and older forms. “But that’s what happens when you get a science geek for a roommate.” Classy stuff.

–by the way Brad, thank you for the post you left on my friend’s blog (Rants Ravings and Nerf Herders) I think you made his day.
🙂
I am still curious how you came across mine; but I am certainly honored that you did. Peace and Grace to you and yours, sir.
I agree, brother. Emperor’s New Groove is brilliant.
BTW, I think I googled Christian geeks or something like that, to find your site. Thanks, as always, for stopping by.
If you’d like, check out my Facebook page (Geek Faith Tribe). If you “like” it, you’ll be connected to more geekish stuff than I post on my blog. Have a great day!
Done. I actually meant to do that when I read your post the other day, I am now officially part of the tribe. 🙂
My favorite cartoon character is Belle…she may not be the funniest, but she is the perfect woman. Sacrificial love, brains, beauty, and character discernment.
“I’m very sorry Gaston but…but I just don’t deserve you!” awesome!
Yeah, Belle was pretty awesome.
She was a fun character. This interaction always made me snicker a bit:
—
Gaston: This is the day your dreams come true.
Belle: What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?
Gaston: Plenty! Here, picture this: A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We’ll have six or seven.
Belle: Dogs?
Gaston: No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!
Belle: Imagine that.

Have a good one!
