The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing-ier.

OK, last three. Hopefully this will do it.

In another adventure, I help con an Emperor.
When I grew up, I wrote these adventures down in a book.
My movie was made by the same people who did shows like "Jack Frost," and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Oh, that "live action" part threw me for a loop. I'm thinking that this is Frosty the Snowman, as animated by Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass, and company. The cartoon named "Frosty the Snowman" has been tapped, but until now, not the character himself.

No, not Frosty. This is not a holiday/ winter type character.

Bonus clue: Pay extra attention to clue 4, "Garden of Paradise."

Ah! This is Chris, the young Hans Christian Andersen, from The Daydreamer (Rankin/Bass 1955).
The second clue had made me think of Thumbelina, but I never made the connection at the time.

Yes peterhale, you're correct!

Chris runs away trying to find the Garden of Paradise his father talked about.
He becomes animated and went on adventures.
One of them he meets Thumbelina and another, he helped conned the Emperor in The Emperor's New Clothes.
Chris wrote these adventures down when he grew up.

Now here's a character that needs to go on the list to complete a triangle...

1) I favour decapitation with a blunt instrument, but that isn't smart enough for my companion.
2) I am told I can make a lot of money just hanging around.
3) There's nothing in this place except bees - and I am not amused.

Would this be Br'er Bear from Song Of The South?

It most certainly would!

1) Br'er Bear: Les' jes' knock his head clean off.
Br'er Fox: Oh, no, indeed! Dere ain't nothin' smart 'bout dat!

2) Br'er Rabbit, dangling from Br'er Fox's trap, tells Br'er Bear that he's earning a dollar a minute scaring crows, and persuades Br'er Bear to take his place.

3) Br'er Bear: Now look, you said dis was a laffin' place... an' I ain't laffin'.
Br'er Rabbit: I didn't say it was yo' laffin' place - I said it was my laffin' place, B'rer Bear.

Over to you, Saltyboot!

Ok, sorry it took so long. I had a lot going on.

I appeared once in a theatrical short.
My cartoon is based on a song.
I get in a fight with a Russian.

Could this be the Russian wolf hound from the 1944 Bugs Bunny cartoon Hare Ribbin'?

Nope, not the wolf hound.

.......

I haven't a clue. Then again, I'm too worn out from my cruise to think.

I think I've got a feeling I may know this one--however, I'll look into it later--got to get ready for bed and work tomorrow morning.

I too suspect I know this, but I don't want to take advantage of the time difference, so I'll let Glowworm go first! (where's the 'halo' smiley?)

Yep just as I thought--but I needed to look up the short--it's Abdul the Bulbul Ameer--that's not an easy name that rolls off the tongue. I myself have never seen the short in question--just know of it through constant posts here.

You're right Glowworm, it Abdul the Bulbul Ameer.

Take it away.

Thanks--somehow that clue about the character getting into a fight with a Russian did the trick--along with the song hint.

Anyhow here's one.
1. I am addressed by name by my buddy--but he doesn't have one.
2. We are attempting to eat each other.
3. There's also a bunny rabbit who pops up in the beginning and the end of this short that we fight over.

Can't find the answer. This one's a true toughie.

Not so tough if you know the film...
It's Joe the buzzard from Tex Avery's What's Buzzin' Buzzard? (MGM 1943). The Jimmy-Durante-impression buzzard calls him 'Joe' throughout - I think it references Palooka (the 1934 film, later released as The Great Schnozzle) with Joe Buzzard being an impression of Stuart Irwin as Joe Palooka.

Yes--yes it is Joe from "What's Buzzin' Buzzard. I always did wonder who "Joe" was suppose to be.
Also, this short left me pretty disturbed as a 5 year old--my father had gone outside to the backyard to read and I was left alone watching a cartoon where two buzzards are graphically trying to eat each other.
