The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing-ier.

Is this Snorky Snorke?

..........

Yes! I was worried this one would go unanswered! This is Snorky (Yes, this is actually how you spell his name.) from "There's No Such Thing as A Sea Serpent." an episode of Beany and Cecil.


Allow me to elaborate.

1. Snorky only appeared once on Beany and Cecil.
2. Beany and Cecil still introduce the short as a "Bob Clampett Cartoon" although they are not seen again afterwards.
3. He was meant to be a puppet in another show after Beany and Cecil, but that fell flat, so he was animated for an episode.
4. His mother is a Brontosaurus, and his father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
5. Self explanatory.
6. The entire episode is sung as a folk song.
7.Also, self-explanatory, not only the last episode, but the last part of said episode.
8. The chorus constantly spells out his name as "Big S n big O r wee k y"
9. He is constantly seen scaring various people such as cavemen, and Cleopatra (She was going to kill herself with an asp, but instead Snorky frightened her to death. He also flings mudpies and he and his family are seen imitating the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland.


Thanks for bearing with me. Truth is, I've never really watched Beany and Cecil except for maybe one or two episodes on Youtube, and found this one by chance a few days ago. I fell in love with it instantly and wanted to use the character.

Yeah, I never saw Beany and Cecil but there were enough clues that I could figure it out.
On with the next one.

I'm a pampered pet.
I end up in the sewers.
My movie was made by two studios.

The only ones I can think don't really fit the clues.

Might this be Roddy St. James, from Flushed Away?
Made by Aardman and Dreamworks.

Yes that is correct, it's Roddy from Flushed Away. Take it away peterhale.

Sorry for the delay - here's my next character...

1) In a feature where the main character links the parallel worlds of humans and animals, I am the animal villain.
2) While the main character goes through their morning routine, I am bamboozled by a version of the old shell game.
3) I am the finale hurdle to the attempt of friends to rescue the main character.

Can't say I saw this one. Someone else probably did.

No takers? Oh dear.. have some more clues...

4) In reality I am only doing what comes naturally - but in the film I am as malicious as my mistress!
5) I'll chase any of them - but it's the fat, juicy one I'm especially after.
6) I take a fall (like my namesake!) but I'm back in the two direct-to-video sequels.

Aha! Those last three clues did it. It's Lucifer the cat, from "Cinderella."

Lucifer it is - well done Em!

1) Cinderella cares for the birds and mice, who in turn look out for her. In an ingenious sub-plot they make the changes to her mother's ball gown that Cinderella has no time to do, foraging accessories from the Ugly Sisters' cast-offs, - only for the jealous step-sisters to rip it to shreds. When Cinderella is locked in her turret room by her step-mother, it is the mice Jaq and Gus who steal the key and manoeuver it up all the stairs - only to be thwarted by Lucifer on the top landing.
2) The sequence showing Cinderella going through her morning routine is enlivened by Lucifer's pursuit of Gus, who hides under one of three cups on the breakfast tray. Lucifer tries to pick the right cup while avoiding discovery by Cinderella as she loads the tray.
3) Trapping Gus (and the key) under a bowl Lucifer defies the combined efforts of the mice and birds. Cinderella gets the birds to fetch her dog Bruno, who routs the cat.
4) Lucifer is only doing what cats do - hunting mice (and birds) - but his deviousness and cunning, and his dislike of Cinderella, make him the villain of the animal world.
5) From the moment he first sees the newly-rescued Gus trying to recover his stack of corn, Lucifer focuses his predation on on the plump mouse.
6) Here Lucifer falls not from Heavenly Grace but the turret window.

You're up again!

Thanks, Pete. I decided to postpone the character I'd originally planned for my next turn, and go with this one instead:


1. I live alone in a spooky old house, and have a most peculiar tree in my yard.

2. I take a group of youngsters on a journey they won't soon forget.

3. Fittingly, my film is narrated by the author of the original book.

After some searching I believe this is Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud from "The Halloween Tree."

Fluidgirl, you hit the nail on the head. It is he.

1. He lives alone in that old house, and the tree has pumpkins on its branches.

2. Self-explanatory.

3. The film is narrated by Ray Bradbury, who wrote the book back in 1972.

So you go again, FG. Good job.

And yes, those clues were my tribute to the late, great Leonard Nimoy, who voiced the character.

Here's one, and another favorite character of my sister's.

1. I started out in 1946, as a literary character

2. I made my animated debut in a 1989 special

3. The special I appear in also features classic storybook characters from the same publishers that published my book.

I'm clueless about this one. Guess I'll have to look for books written in 1946.

Just to throw out a guess, That Girl in Wonderland, played in live action by Marlo Thomas, and adapted into animation by Rankin Bass Productions in 1973 for ABC television.

Nope, OUB. Definitely not. I don't have any more clues at the moment, but I'll probably be able to think of some by tomorrow.

I think I've tracked this one down - it's Scuffy the Tugboat, from Little Golden Book Land.

Well, peterhale, you've got the cartoon nailed down, but not the character I'm thinking of. Hmm. Let's see if I can conjure up some more clues so that we can nail down the character.

1. I'm a character of the fuzzy variety

2. My name gives the impression that I am somewhat introverted

3. The Internet LOVES my species!
