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

Yes, it's Tiny from the award winning short.

Take it away!

Thanks, Salty. Now to really go into untapped territory:

1. I'm a long-forgotten advertising mascot.

2. My cookies are oddly but aptly shaped.

3. And the product rhymes.

Three more clues should do it:

4. My company also created the original sandwich cookie.

5. I'm almost 50 years old.

6. Those with allergies can't have these cookies.

Oh, I'd forgotten about him. The Nutter Butter Man, animated pitchman for Nabisco's Nutter Butter sandwich cookies. How to describe him? Physique of Uncle Sam, haywire hairstyle of Carrot Top, with a kind of Willy Wonka demeanor. Most famous for his stage whisper: "From Banisco!" chirps the cute child. "Nabisco!" corrects Nutter Butter Man. Dang, this one takes me back.

Yes, OUB, it's the Nutter Butter Man for certain. Good job. . Your turn now.

Nice. Okay, more fixing time. We've tapped the Good Guy, so I'm going to pluck the Bad Guy.

1) This character occurs only once to date in an animated feature film. He doesn't survive the hero's onslaught, so he's not likely to recur.

2) Three colleagues of this character are Good Guys, and do something helpful for the hero. This character decides that Good is boring, so he chooses to be the renegade Bad Guy. Spoilsport.

3) This Bad Guy character has magic powers. The hero doesn't; the hero has Science! Whaddaya know? That's good enough.

Intermediate clues time.

4) Conveniently, the main magic men are Color Coded. The Blue One, the Green One and the Gold One are Good Guys. It's the Red One, the Mystery Character, that causes the trouble.

5) Nobody from this feature cartoon is named in the title. It's the secondary characters that get title billing. Score one for the extras.

6) This character sends a battalion of mooks to thwart the heroes. They're not human, and they're not Jango Fett clones, either. Nor are they Mecha Mooks. They're still a fearsome force, though.

Thought so from the beginning, but I've never actually seen the film so I had to look up which one was the evil wizard. This is the Red Wizard Ommadon from Flight of the Dragons, voiced by James Earl Jones.

Correct, this is Ommadon, the Red Wizard from the Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass production The Flight of Dragons. This one ends up in the Mystery Cartoon thread from time to time. Good memory, Glow.

Yeah, exactly how I recalled this one, a little cartoon research, and I never forget.
1. I'm part of a classic stopmotion animation segment for a long running children's education show.
2. I rule over a kingdom and a certain number.
3. However, I learn from a royal messenger that a new addition to my family has arrived which will throw my perfect number off.

4. I proudly show off the number I rule over.
5. There is a similar stopmotion animation segment featuring a queen ruling over the number 6.
6. My royal messenger gets hit by the number I rule over at the end.

I'm afraid I never saw this one.

Last clues.
7. Can you tell me how to get...
8.I'm voiced by a very famous puppeteer.
9.8 is great, but not when you suddenly have another princess that throws off your entire kingdom.

Well, this has to be one of the Sesame Street vignettes, which came from multiple sources. So, this shapes up to be the King of Eight, proud of his octagonal kingdom, until princess number nine comes along.

And just for giggles: a friend of mine is a big fan of The Beatles. He was shocked that I knew Octopus's Garden and Manah Manah, two obscure songs in their discography. Sesame Street to the rescue.

Actually, "Manah Manah" was never a Beatles' song. I may tell you the true story about that song, but only in a private message.

Yep, this is Sesame Street's King of Eight. There was also another stopmotion animation similar to this one called The Queen of Six.
Also, amusingly enough, a lot of people seem to think the poor messenger is dead after the 8 falls on him.

Ah, took me a while to find a worthy character, but here she is:

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

2) The title characters are summoned to her home to alleviate a persistent problem. She not quite a main character, but certainly an important one.

3) This nice lady fights with the villain at one point. And she's definitely a Lady, as in the Mistress of a Manor. The story locale is somewhere in Great Britain.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer. Hopefully, someone else will get it.

Intermediate clues time.

4) Ah, the magic attraction of redheads. One of the title characters is smitten with this lady, likewise for the villain. It's a Dudley Do-Right / Snidely Whiplash / Lucille Ball kind of triangle.

5) This character has a knack for gardening, and aims to spread the preference for greenery throughout the county. Kind of hard to argue with a Greener Earth policy.

6) Normal people have mostly normal hairstyles; wealthy aristocrats have ... unusual hairstyles. Perhaps this character watches too much anime.

And cupcake clues time.

7) Lena Hyena debuted in a feature animated film, but in none of the subsequent short cartoons. This character never appeared in the first three animated shorts, but debuted in the subsequent feature film.

8) Written and directed by an established creative duo. However, the voice actor for one of the heroic characters recently left this mortal coil.

9) Premiered Friday 7 October 2005.
