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

Well, at first, my thinking ran to Simba from Disney's The Lion King. He did abandon the Pridelands after the death of Mufasa, which would leave the figurative crown to the eldest male, Scar. However, in his denial with Nala, Simba reveals that he no longer regards himself as King, or even heir apparent.

No, I must look elsewhere. Perhaps, Aragorn, regent in exile who took the name Strider, who headed the quest party called The Fellowship of the Ring. Imagine his dismay at learning that Gondor's steward, Denethor, had taken not only the throne and command of the army of Gondor, but had usurped the crown as well. It never fails: you go away for a couple o' years to find a hobbit, and this happens. Taken largely intact in the Bakshi-directed Lord Of The Rings animated production.

Nope, not Aragorn. Time for me to narrow this down.

Nobody recognized me as a carnivore.
That is, until I started wearing clothes.
I have a striking resemblance to another character of the same studio (From just 2 years before).

Ah, this is the lion from the 1954 Disney short "Social Lion" who bears a striking resemblance to Lambert the Sheepish Lion from 1952.

Yes, it is the Social Lion. He was taken from Africa and brought to the big city. Things didn't go so well.

Thanks,
1. I'm a little guy with a big bark.
2. In my first short, my new owners think it's a good idea to leave me alone in the house with the murderous cat.
3. Don't worry, I can bark the crap out of him onto the ceiling.

This is Frisky Puppy!

............

Yup, this is Frisky Puppy--most memorable thing about him--barking Claude onto the ceiling.

I'm a kid with a unique ability.
I have a big attitude as a result of being bullied, and not being allowed to participate in my own game.
My friend is supposed to be the bad guy, but he's really not.

This is another mystery. Someone else must have seen it.

Three more.

Deep down, I know I'm a racer.
At the end, it's revealed that I'm a princess.
My buddy also knows what it's like being an outcast.

Oh, of course, this must be the precocious Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph.

Yes OUB, it's Vanellope, the glitch from the game Sugar Rush in "Wreck-It Ralph." Of course it turns out that she is the princess and main character of the game.

Nice. Gee, now I feel blue, because the Mystery Character I have in mind is nowhere near as well known. He is viewable on Youtube, so ... maybe?

1) This character has appeared only once to date (as far as I can determine) in an animated cartoon viewable on YouTube. It's a drawn-inked-colored cartoon without CGI.

2) This character says only one word throughout the entirety of the cartoon, which doubles as the cartoon's title. Unless we count yelps of terror and yowls of pain as "words."

3) Having suffered an injury, this character visits a hospital for treatment. Worst. Decision. Ever.

Guess I'll have to go to YouTube for the answer.

Could this possibly be the blue cat from the "What A Cartoon Short" "Help!" ?

IT possibly could, because that's precisely who it is. His name is Jof, from the cartoon Help? After pricking his finger on an embroidery needle, Jof visits a hospital where the entire staff is evil or insane, or both. Created and directed by Bruno Bozzetto. Good recollecting, Glowworm. The game board is yours.

I recall channel surfing at one point years ago on tv--fortunately I didn't stay to watch this short--it looked like one in which I'd feel immensely sorry for the poor cat--those fast credits repeating footage of the entire short at the end didn't help much either.
1. In this classic song from a popular and still ongoing children's learning show, I offer my seven sons my crown if they can cheer me up.
2. Most of the things my sons bring me do more harm than good.
3. My youngest son earns the crown for helping me up.

Ha, you used this one in the Character Quotes thread. This is from a lesson in counting to seven from Sesame Street, about an Alligator King and his seven sons.

Indeed. This is the Alligator King who offers his crown up to whichever of his seven sons can cheer him up. While six of them bring him seven items--some being a bit dangerous such as oysters which pinch his fingers, diamond rings to wear on his toes which cause him to trip on the rug, and rubies that he mistakes for cherries, breaking seven of his teeth, the seventh merely helps dad up when he trips on the rug, thus winning the crown.

Must be you like that one. I'll remember that, so I can remind everyone of the fact years from now, because that's what us old grunks do. Now, I must think up another character that's about as funnish.

1) This character first occurs in a work of literature, and was later adapted into live action and animated features. He's in the public domain at this point, so he's up for grabs.

2) Sticking to animation, this character appears in a completely animated feature film, and in a direct-to-video sequel. In both, he has a day job and a night job.

3) Going only by the feature films, this character seems to have only one name, like Madonna or Cher. He has a cognomen, but that's only in the book. It's probably too hard to pronounce, so the animators said "phooey."
