1. Bugs Bunny
   Roadrunner
2. Daffy Duck
   Babs Bunny

You can have all the mouse ears; for my money the cartoon king of all time is Bugs. Everyone has a favorite Bugs 'toon, but for me, it's a tossup between his faceoff with Wile E. Coyote and the famous opera with Elmer Fudd.

1. Donald Duck
   Mickey Mouse
2. Minnie Mouse
   Pluto

Mickey is probably the most identifiable cartoon character on the planet. Disney controls the image with an iron fist, and woe be to the T-shirt printer who slaps a pair of mouse ears on a shirt without permission.

1. Daffy Duck
   Scrooge McDuck
2. Huey
   Donald Duck

I've always found Donald Duck fairly annoying, probably because his voice is one of the few I can't imitate well. Try it yourself! Be sure to apologize to the people you shower with saliva.

1. Heathcliff
   Awkward Yeti
2. Felix the Cat
   Garfield

Felix is one of the very first animal cartoon characters, dating back to the early days of the 20th century. He survived colorization, animation and the addition of voices to cartoons, but now is mostly only seen as a moving clock sold in tchotchke shops.

1. Hobbes
   Tigger
2. Heathcliff
   Eeyore

Do you know the Tigger song? If you didn't know it before, you're now looking it up on YouTube and it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the week. You're welcome.

1. Donald Duck
   Daffy Duck
2. Roadrunner
   Woody Woodpecker

Daffy is the perfect comic foil for the perfect comic hero, Bugs Bunny. The famous "Duck Season/Rabbit Season" 'toon will leave you writhing on the floor.

1. Pluto
   Goofy
2. Snoopy
   Scooby Doo

Scooby is one of the greatest goofballs in movie history. Every episode of the show was essentially the same, and yet we watched them all for years and years.

1. Mickey Mouse
   Daisy Duck
2. Minnie Mouse
   Babs Bunny

The notion of a cartoon character being married was a novel one when Walt Disney's godlike pencil created Minnie, although none of Mickey's ribs were involved. She never caught on as much as Mickey, and wasn't a huge feature in more recent 'toons.

1. Garfield
   Hobbes
2. Snoopy
   Heathcliff

Despite the incredible popularity of the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip, Bill Watterson never licensed a Hobbes doll for sale. His dedication to the purity of his craft is admirable, if not his financial sense.

1. Jerry Mouse
   Speedy Gonzales
2. Mickey Mouse
   Pinky

Which version of the Tom and Jerry cartoons do you like better, the ones where they outright feud or the ones where they're allies? To me, the fight 'toons are by far the funniest.

1. Woody Woodpecker
   Tom Cat
2. Bugs Bunny
   Sylvester

It's a plot as old as time and with as many variations as there are stars: Cat chases mouse. And yet that one idea kept one of the greatest cartoon series in history moving for decades.

1. Pluto
   Goofy
2. Butch
   Wile E. Coyote

Wile E. is a nearly Shakespearean character. He elevates futility to art, and even at his most wicked and Roadrunner-hungry, he still ties a napkin around his neck in anticipation of a meal that never comes.

1. Tom Cat
   Sylvester
2. Garfield
   Goofy

In the late '80s, the AMC theater chain decided to bring back the old pre-movie cartoons for a summer. The first one I saw was the one where Granny takes Tweety to the seashore, and Sylvester at one point ends up water-skiing into a piling. I couldn't stop laughing after seeing it on the big screen.

1. Winnie the Pooh
   Tigger
2. Eeyore
   Piglet

Winnie is the ultimate cheerful little forest fellow. There's no trouble that can't be cured by a mouthful of honey and a nap in the meadow.

1. Pluto
   Butch
2. Bruiser
   Goofy

Do you always get Goofy and Pluto confused? Just remember: Goofy can talk, and Pluto is Mickey's pet.

1. Falkor
   Toothless
2. Cecil
   Barney

How To Train Your Dragon wasn't expected to be the giant hit it became. A large part of its success was the way the dragons, especially the hero's Night Fury, Toothless, are depicted and brought to life.

1. Sylvester
   Bambi
2. Thumper
   Yogi

Disney films have always had a way of putting tragedy squarely in the middle of kids' films. Think of Old Yeller! In this one, at least we get the tragedy out of the way at the beginning of the film.

1. Thumper
   Bambi
2. Donald Duck
   Dumbo

Thumper made his debut in Bambi. He is a cute and humorous character that speaks his mind and befriends Bambi.

1. Shere Khan
   Bagheera
2. Baloo
   Rikki Tikki Tavi

Bagheera is the most courageous of the animals in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Despite a serious size disadvantage, she stands up to jungle tyrant Shere Khan to save boy-child Mowgli from his fangs.

1. Daisy Duck
   Donald Duck
2. Scrooge McDuck
   Louie

Mickey has Minnie, and Donald has Daisy, but Donald and Daisy aren't married. Donald constantly needs Daisy's help, but she's often oblivious to that -- and frequently aggravates situations by being the Disney version of a Valley Girl.

1. Caterpillar
   Jabberwock
2. Cheshire Cat
   Garfield

The Cheshire Cat is a fascinating character among a whole world of them. It actually predates Alice in Wonderland, although the origins, like those of so many literary characters, are open to debate.

1. Roo
   Kanga
2. Pooh
   Piglet

Piglet is Pooh's constant companion, and frequently presents philosophical dilemmas for ursine solutions. He's at times the voice of the reader, puzzled by life and wondering about the world.

1. Nemo
   Dory
2. Marlin
   Hank

Dory, voiced by Ellen Degeneres, is a scatterbrain with a heart of gold. She made such a splash (pardon the pun) in Finding Nemo that she ended up with her own movie.

1. Garfield
   Heathcliff
2. Felix the Cat
   Sylvester

Garfield is easily the most ubiquitous of the comic-strip and cartoon cats. However, a movie with Bill Murray, playing the voice of the lasagna-craving feline, was a complete bomb at the box office.

1. Woodstock
   Opus
2. Tweety Bird
   Daffy Duck

It seems beyond belief that a tiny yellow bird could escape the clutches of a full-grown cat as long as Tweety does, but that's cartoon magic, kids! In real life, Tweety would have been a snack for a tabby years ago.

1. Timon
   Scar
2. Pumba
   Mufasa

Jeremy Irons has played plenty of villains in his career, but none so nefarious as the one he gave voice to in Scar. The dastardly, cowardly lion in The Lion King killed Simba's dad, and tried to do the same to him.

1. Mufasa
   Rikki Tikki Tavi
2. Raksha
   Shere Khan

Idris Elba's baritone purr gave life to the most recent incarnation of The Jungle Book's baddie. In the original '60s version, Khan was voiced by George Sanders, best known for playing Mr. Freeze in the original Batman series.

1. Shrek
   Donkey
2. Mr. Ed
   Puss in Boots

Eddie Murphy was a genius pick for the voice of Donkey in the Shrek series. His manic delivery gives Donkey's frantic monologues just the right edge.

1. Snoopy
   Opus
2. Droopy
   Marmaduke

Snoopy is the unchallenged king of cartoon dogs. No one is as cool, as long-lived, or as hapless at chasing the Bloody Red Baron as Charlie Brown's dog.

1. Marmaduke
   Brian Griffin
2. Underdog
   Droopy

Droopy is definitely not the cheeriest of cartoon animals. With a perpetual air of weltschmerz and a voice that could put kids to sleep, his encounters with the more frenetic Warner Bros. characters are always hilarious.

1. Flik
   Jiminy Cricket
2. Berry B. Benson
   Absolem

Jiminy is commonly described as Pinocchio's conscience, but he's also the musical heart of the original movie and many succeeding Disney productions. Who hasn't sung "When You Wish Upon A Star" at least once?

1. Mojo Jojo
   Beast Boy
2. Chim Chim
   Grape Ape

Mojo began his cartoon life as the nemesis of the Powerpuff Girls, and then navigated his way to the Teen Titans Go! universe, where things really got weird. Befitting his chimp-ness, he's frenetically aggressive but has trouble focusing on one nefarious scheme at a time.

1. Donkey
   Timon
2. Puumba
   Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian Devil is a relentless devouring machine ... until he meets up with Bugs Bunny. The Warner Bros. cartoons with Bugs and Taz are some of the most hilarious.

1. Butch
   Pete
2. Bluto
   Marmaduke

Pete, also known as Peg-Leg Pete and Pistol Pete, was a generic bad guy character in several Disney cartoons. He most resembles a dog, although he's not specifically any particular animal.

1. Balto
   Snoopy
2. Brian Griffin
   Marmaduke

Balto was an actual dog who, in 1925, helped deliver diphtheria serum across Alaska to save lives during an outbreak. An animated/live action movie chronicled the run in 1995.

1. Odie
   Goofy
2. Pluto
   Huckleberry Hound

Huckleberry was part of the expansive Hanna-Barbera cartoon stable that included the Great Grape Ape, Woody Woodpecker and many others. He was a daffy, countrified dog whose continued efforts at employment always ended in hilarious failure.

1. Sandy Cheeks
   Mr.Krabs
2. Plankton
   Nemo

Mr. Krabs is part of the Spongebob Squarepants pantheon, and he's one of the villains. He's a money-hungry crustacean willing to go to any length to protect the recipe of his Krabby Patties.

1. Flik
   Princess Atta
2. Mister Soil
   Speedy Gonzales

Flik is the ant hero of Disney's A Bug's Life. Unlike almost all of his mound-mates, Flik has a sense of individuality and questions the established social order inside the ant colony. He's sort of the ant version of a hippie.

1. Woody Woodpecker
   Tweety Bird
2. Road Runner
   Foghorn Leghorn

No nonverbal character in the history of cartoons has ever had more to say. Road Runner speeds through his desert days, seemingly largely unaware of the efforts of Wile E. Coyote to turn him into an entree. But every once in a while, he more or less winks at the camera just as Wile E. plunges off a cliff, down a chasm, etc.

1. Iago
   Drake Mallard
2. Goodfeathers
   Zazu

Iago starts out as the evil-winged henchman of the villain Jafar in Disney's Aladdin. Later in the series (because he became a fan favorite), he became one of the good guys.

1. Zazu
   Jose Carioca
2. Toucan Sam
   Rafiki

Zazu is the very uptight, buttoned-down majordomo for Mufasa and, later, Simba in The Lion King. According to the backstory, Mufasa saved him from the hyenas and he pledged himself to the king.

1. Stimpy
   Ren
2. Butch
   Courage

Courage the Cowardly Dog is a longtime standby of Cartoon Network's stable of characters. He was even once nominated for an Academy Award, but lost out to Wallace and Gromit.

1. Banzai
   Shenzi
2. Growler
   Ed

Hyenas are truly unpleasant creatures, with a habit of preying on the weak, stealing food, and generally behaving in an unfriendly manner. Shenzy, Ed and Banzai, The Lion King's hyena pack, are archetypes of the breed.

1. Snavely
   Craig Slithers
2. Kaa
   Ju-Ju

Kaa is a wise rock python who is a recurring figure in Kipling's tales. He features prominently in The Jungle Book, serving as an advisor and protector to man-child Mowgli.

1. Brian Griffin
   Snoopy
2. Odie
   Pongo

Brian only LOOKS like a dog. On the inside, he's a cynical, lecherous old man with a twisted sense of humor ... which is why he's one of the most popular characters on Family Guy.

1. Perdita
   Snoopy
2. Balto
   Pongo

Pongo is the dog-father who ends up with far more kids than he bargained for in 101 Dalmatians. He and Perdita help rescue 99 puppies from Cruella de Vil and then end up raising them.

1. Remy
   Jerry Mouse
2. Speedy Gonzales
   Rikki Tikki Tavi

Ratatouille is one of the greatest foodie movies ever made, and it stars a rat! Remy has dreams of cooking fine French food, and with the usual movie sequence of improbable but cute coincidences, he ends up winning over one of the toughest critics in Paris.

1. Zazu
   Road Runner
2. Woody Woodpecker
   Tweety Bird

Woody was the cornerstone of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon empire, despite being one of the most annoying creatures ever inked. Can anyone stand more than 10 seconds of his signature laugh without contemplating birdicide?

1. Chester
   Hector
2. Droopy
   Spike

Spike, and his yappy little pal Chester, are occasional characters in Warner Bros. cartoons, especially the Sylvester and Tweety 'toons. Chester is constantly hopping around asking Spike what he wants to do, and as it turns out that's often punching Chester to make him stop yapping.

1. Jerry Mouse
   Speedy Gonzales
2. Remy
   Nibbles

Speedy has sadly fallen victim to political correctness and concern over stereotypes in the last few years, so his cartoons aren't seen as much anymore. His cheery ability to zoom his way out of any predicament made him a Warner Bros. favorite.
