The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, now with 20% more ongoing.

Of course, this begs the question: if Chuck and Nancy find the Shazzan ring in Maine, how'd they suddenly end up in Arabia? On the other hand, in a world of genies and wizards and viziers, swapping Arabia with Canada should be child's play. Anyway, on to a new Mystery Character.

1) This character occurs only once to date, in a completely animated feature film. In theory, he could return, since he survives to the end of the story.

2) When this character is first seen, he's a reclusive loon. This is a huge departure from his reputation as a kind of George Washington merged with Hercules.

3) Fair Play Rule: this character is not human. Nobody anywhere in the story is, for that matter. In fact, this character has no legs!

Again, these clues have me completely stumped.

Hopefully, these clues will be less stumpy.

4) This character and all the others are one of those completely CGI productions. And, no, it's not a Pixar production.

5) The good guy and his associates go seeking this character, because he's the mighty Founder, the one mighty fellow that built the world as they know it.

6) Y'know how Microsoft Windows has that thing going on with upgrades? Many characters in this story likewise have a problem with upgrades.

This is Bigweld from Robots. Kind of forgot he didn't have legs.

Ah, thank you so much, GW, for not letting the mighty Big Weld fall through the cracks. Yes, this is Big Weld, the Founder of Robotropolis, from Blue Sky Studios' Robots feature film. Big Weld gets around by rolling on a giant ball below his waist. Think BB-8 from The Force Awakens, except seven feet tall. Good catch, Glowworm; I'll tack on your newest +1 while you clue up the newest Mystery Character.

I think this will do nicely.
1. I hail about as far back as the protagonist in comics.
2. However, for some odd reason, I don't actually appear in cartoon form until the 1960s.
3. As evil as I may be, the hero won't physically harm me because he follows the code of never hitting a woman.

I'll bet ten to one it's Catwoman.

Nope, it ain't Catwoman. Think further back.

Oh, could this be the Sea Hag, who aside from Bluto, is one of Popeye's significant and recurring nemeses?

Not could be--is!
1. The Sea Hag hails back to 1929, around the same time as Popeye in the Thimble Theater comics.
2. Yet for whatever reason, she didn't actually show up in any Popeye cartoons until 1960 for the Kings ones.
3. Popeye can't and won't hit a woman, so Olive will usually do the hitting through a can of spinach or something else will occur. However, that CGI special from 2004 Popeye's Voyage: The Quest for Pappy certainly forgot that code, as Popeye really socks it to her.

Ooh, nifty. Perhaps by 2004, they'd updated the Code, from "It's never okay to strike a woman" to "It's never okay to strike a woman first." But that's a political debate; I need to focus on a neglected character.

1) This character appears only once to date in an animated feature film. He survives to the end of the story, but it's as a recluse, so there's not much chance he'll recur.

2) This character gets a grand idea, and needs buy-in from three associates. Two of the three are on-board with the proposal, but one ... isn't. Plot ensues.

3) There's time-travel involved in this story, because it's funner that way. And there's some vague prophecy about it, too.

Yow, overdue for the intermediate clues.

4) No false advertising here: what the title says actually happens in the story. Problem is, it's not a good thing.

5) There are humans in this story, thankfully. And some non-humans, too, because the world was different way back when. The Mystery Character is borderline on that point: mostly human with some distinctly non-human traits.

6) This character is a pacifist, against conflict and struggle, despite the fact that his voice actor is memorable for playing an Army colonel on television.

This must be Carolinus, the Green Wizard, from "The Flight Of Dragons." He was voiced by Harry Morgan, who played Colonel Potter on "M.A.S.H."

Absolutely, this is the Green Wizard Carolinus, from the Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass production The Flight Of Dragons. Good of you not to forget this charming adaptation of the adventure book.

Thanks, OUB. I don't have one for now, so I'll let someone else post.

Well, I've waited long enough. Time for one that's been completely overlooked until now:

1. Officially, I'm the first one to go up against a well-known blue dog.

2. I don't talk, I just cause trouble in town.

3. I'm another whose name doesn't match my size.

Aha, realizing that the blue dog can only be Huckleberry Hound--I went to the first short possible--so the opponent is a gorilla named Wee Willie.

Well, GW, your thinking is gooder than mine, because "blue dog" first made me think of Blue from "Blue's Clues," then secondly about Dynomutt, Dog Wonder to Blue Falcon.

To be honest, I thought about Blue myself, but she really doesn't have any opponents. Also, I always thought Dynomutt was gray.

Well, kind of a Thomas Cat shade of grey-blue. He is the sidekick to Blue Falcon, so ... must keep up the aesthetic, y'know.
