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

Glowworm, you got it. It most certainly is Wee Willie. So you get the next turn. Good job.

Thanks, I'll think of someone later.

Okay, all set.
1. The title of my short is exactly the same as that of an extremely popular Broadway show going on right now.
2. Just add a pachyderm to the title.
3. I'm extremely talented--and unfortunately forgetful.

Lol, this must be Hamilton, from Hamilton the Musical Elephant.

Indeed. It's Hamilton the Musical Elephant--from the 1961 short of the same name. There is a second short with the little guy "Hamilton in the Music Festival," but unfortunately, the only copy I've found of it online is not in English.

I was originally invented to be a helper.
I have a female name.
At first I appear to be a henchman, but later I prove to be the villain.

I'll have to think about this one.

I do believe this is Doris, the evil "hat" robot from "Meet the Robinsons."

That's right, it is Doris the bowler hat. You're up again!

What the heck, let' s do this one.
1. I want to be fed by my mother, but she wants me to learn to get my food the hard way.
2. Waves are terrifying.
3. I learn how to master them in order to find food.

Ah, very, very easy. It's Piper, the baby sandpiper from the latest Pixar short.

Yes! I love that little pile of fluff! I also can somewhat relate to her--see when I was about 5 on a trip to the beach with the Kindergarten at Sandy Hook, I got too close to a wave and almost got swept away if not for a teacher. I had no idea what was going on, and afterwards was placed further away from the waves with some other kids who had gotten too close earlier.

Thanks, Glowworm. Time for another one that's never been posted here before:

1. I introduce myself just before the theme song.

2. I'm my natural color in the front, but my backside is blue.

3. Another odd thing about me is...I'm the band's drummer.

Jabberjaw, the peculiar blue shark with the pale white underside. He tends to ambulate upright on his tailfins, and has the voice and mannerisms of Curly Howard of The Three Stooges series. Jabberjaw plays percussion for a band called the Neptunes in a cartoon series by Hanna-Barbera.

OUB, you got it once again. Good job. It's Jabberjaw, fins down my favorite cartoon shark. So step up and take a turn.

Thanks; and Extra Super Good Job to you, EmeraldIsle, for reaching the 400 Correct Response mark with Carolinus. I expect to update the UCL on Sunday to reflect the latest postings and current scores.

1) This character occurs in a regularly televised animated series. The studio that produced the series no longer exists, but the franchise is still intact.

2) The Queen Bee Rule is in effect here: while all his underlings adhere to a dress code, this character doesn't, because he's The Boss. It really helps to know who's in charge around here.

3) Fair Play Rule time: this character is not human. There are occasional humans in this universe, but it's mostly non-humans by about 30 to 1.

Nobody? Gee, better get better at better cluing.

4) There is magic in this character's world, and he's guilty of flinging some magic when there's sufficient cause.

5) Presumably, this character is the eldest of his kind. In fact, his name suggests that he may have sired his underlings!

6) Further evidence of being the Alpha Male: this character is the only one with facial hair. Perhaps he's the only fertile male in the colony.

Aha! Who else could it be but Papa Smurf?

Yes, this is Pejo's Papa Smurf, complete with white beard and red cap. Good identifying, EI.

Thanks, OUB. BTW, Grandpa Smurf had facial hair, too. Anyway, time for one who's gone untapped for reasons unknown:

1. My live action show is now 30 years old.

2. I star in two animated series, one of which is actually a prequel to the sitcom.

3. In these, I go by my birth name rather than the name I'm better known by.
