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

Apparently, a lot of viewers that night kept replaying that scene wondering "Did he really just say that?"

Replaying the scene.... Why didn't I think of that?

As for the clues, I know who it is but I'll need to hold off again.

That's what makes it so genius--he was simply saying what everyone was thinking.

Ok, the answer is Sariatu, who is Kubo's mother from Kubo and the Two Strings.

Yes, this is Sariatu who is reincarnated as Monkey, Kubo's wooden charm meant to keep him safe.

OK, I think this one should be easy to do.

I am the head chef of a famous restaurant.
While the restaurant's late owner was all about quality, I was just for the profits.
I was obligated to hire a bumbling fool.

This is that sneaky, distrustful Skinner, who took charge of the famous restaurant Gusteau's upon the (suspect) demise of its founder. Skinner is compelled to hire Linguini to the kitchen staff as a stipulation of Gusteau's estate. From Pixar's 2007 feature Ratatouille.

Yes, that's exactly right! Your turn to have a go.

Sweet. And continuing our S trend, I'm picking a sort-of S one.

1) This character appears just once to date in a completely animated feature film. She survives to the end of the story, so she could recur.

2) This character is female, and human-shaped; whether she qualifies as true human is debatable. She looks good enough to percolate the hero's hormones, that's for sure.

3) No shrinking violet is she, no sir. When danger threatens her world, or a neighboring one, this character suits up, smacks in a fresh magazine and gets busy.

Intermediate clues time.

4) It could be argued that this character's world isn't real. But from this character's perspective, it's real enough, as is the growing danger that threatens it.

5) How to describe this character? Well, if John Wayne were a tall, lithe platinum blonde girl: yeah, that's her.

6) Happy ending movie: this character and one of the Good Guys get married. Awwww. *love bubbles*

Of course, this is Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun of Wreck it Ralph.

That's precisely who this is, soldier. Now, buck up, take yer point, and launch the next Mystery Character.

I'll try to launch one tomorrow-- got to go to work tomorrow--and go see GOTG part two with my boyfriend.

Got one!
1. I'm the father of a classic cartoon character.
2. In this short, both the character and his prey are shown as babies.
3. I tell my son he cannot speak until he catches his prey. Seeing as he still hasn't caught it yet, he still hasn't spoken.

Ah, Cage E Coyote, father of Wile E Coyote, from the Tiny Toons productions of Amblimation. Tony Cervone was lead animator for these, and he'd later jump ship to Warner Brothers proper to launch The Looney Tunes Show.

Almost correct--except that the character in question is from a 2000 Looney Tunes short entitled "Little Go Beep" Baby Wile E. is sent out to catch a roadrunner and can't speak until he does so. Yet he has spoken quite a bit in the past in a few shorts.

OUB, where's your new mystery character?

Oh, I got it right? I saw "almost correct" and figured I'd glerped another one. Presuming that "close enough" is in effect:

1) This character occurs in a regularly televised animated series that's no longer in production.

2) This character is an Action Girl, and is agile enough to avoid being captured by baddies, usually.

3) While this character is a blonde, she is not dumb. In fact, she has one powerful brain.

Intermediate clues time.

4) This character is not human. She does everything that humans do, such as live in a room in midtown, ride a hover-bike, bring home Chinese take-out, et cetera; but she does quite bit more than most people do.

5) Most of the incidental characters in her world are human. This character is an oddity, but she's at peace with that. It's a "play the hand you've been dealt" philosophy.

6) Much of this character's move set and agility come from cheerleader training ... that didn't get used, sadly.

Well, I checked the list, and she wasn't on it, so I'll say Lexi Bunny, from "Loonatics Unleashed."
