Top 100 Animated Characters Countdown Wrap Up

You're listening to the Geekcast Radio Network.

Unleash the geek in you. Hello and welcome to

another special episode of the Geekcast Radio

Network's Top 100 Animated Characters of All

Time series. As you know, we've already counted

down 100 through 1, so today we're just kind

of back to wrap things up, put a nice little

bow on it in the Christmas fashion, and let everybody

kind of reflect on what was the top 100, what

wasn't the top 100, now that it's all kind of

said and done. We've had a little while to think

about it and react to it, as well as see some

feedback from the listeners. So that's what we're

here to do today and with me to help in that

process is hard candy mandy. Hello. Hey movie

revolt dan. Hello How's it going? Not too bad

and as he has been with us every step of the

way always fitting to have him back then for

the wrap -up Mr Sketch, how you doing? I'm great

guys. How you doing? Not too bad. Not too bad

interested to kind of hear some final thoughts

as we get a maybe a chance to shed some light

on some characters that we didn't talk about

in those 500 hours that we recorded over the

last four episodes uh probably closer to 15 hours

but uh anyways we'll hopefully shine some light

on some characters that people have been wondering

about or waiting for that they never heard about

and and that type of thing obviously we revealed

the three that just missed it last episode because

we were bringing up the subject of the three

Muppet characters and what three characters would

have made it if those three hadn't. So we've

revealed those, but I'm gonna go ahead and reveal

the 10 that just missed at first as kind of a

way to start off. Kind of the 10, I guess you'd

call them honorable mentions or the ones that

were closest to making the list that just missed

out. And it's just a matter of points here. We

talked about how towards the top of the list,

especially with Mickey Mouse, he topped the list

and he had 1 ,111 points. So that's what it is.

to get to the top. When we're at number 100,

it only took about 223 points and everybody in

this 10 that I'm listing were within 25 points

of making the list. So relatively close margins

here. So our 10 closest as we kind of let off

last week with Angelica Pickles, Meatwad, and

Chucky Finster were the three that would have

taken the Muppet spots. And then we had Duke

from GI Joe, Eeyore, from Winnie the Pooh, George

Jetson, Pikachu, another Disney Princess Cinderella,

the combination of Buster and Babs Bunny, Bobby

from Bobby's World, and I think that's 10. So

those are the 10 that just missed it. Let's just

get the reaction just in general of those that

were so close and just missed it. I mean, I know

a couple of those were on your list pretty high.

So what did you feel about those 10 that just

missed out? A little sad that a couple didn't

show up here, especially like Meatwad, the Rugrats

characters. Not really huge on Eeyore or George

Jetson, but I can see why, you know, they were

just shy of the top 100. Pikachu, you know, not

my favorite. I'm not into the Pokemon, but another

one that's definitely pretty iconic. Kind of

had another little resurgence here at the Pokemon

Go craze. Cinderella, I'm not really sure if

she would have been my next pick, but definitely

Bobby from Bobby's World. I love that dude. Sketch,

how many of these should have made the top 100

in your opinion? Oh, boy. I think if any. I think

most of them definitely had a they had a shot.

Obviously, they got they got pretty close. I

think some of them were a bit more deserving.

I don't know about Duke from GI Joe. They already

have two other GI Joe characters that are arguably

too much. Pikachu should have been top 50. It's

so iconic. And you know, there weren't a lot

of creature characters in the list. True. I noticed

that. Yeah, that'd be an interesting breakdown

too that I did not do for this list Dan any surprises

here of ones that you've thought might have made

the list or How do you think this 10? shook out

a Buried bunches which kind of keeps in line

with what we usually see at the end of a list

George Jetson is one that kind of Comes to my

mind just because you know, the Jetsons was such

a big cartoon at least in my mind it was maybe

i'm forgetting but you know we we did have some

we did have fred flintstone on the list and i

thought we had to have at least one jetsons character

maybe just it's not nearly as popular as one

would think bobby hill because i know there were

some comments regarding king of the hill on on

the message boards and stuff uh dicky cast radio

um so interesting that he beat out hank hill

so uh uh Which would I guess that that's a debate

for maybe another day which character would be

better but and then Cinderella I'm a little surprised

she would I guess that makes sense. I'm actually

surprised she didn't make the list Considering

we did have some other ones like, you know Although

I think the lawns a better character considering

Cinderella's probably a you know more iconic

Disney film the fact that she she didn't make

the top 100 Yeah, none of the quote -unquote

classics, I guess she would be the top of that

list since we obviously didn't talk about Snow

White or Sleeping Beauty. Not that I know we

couldn't make the argument in my mind for Sleeping

Beauty, but a little surprise too. Not surprised

that it didn't make the top 100, but given what

did make the top 100, maybe a tiny bit surprised

that Buster and Bam's Bunny don't make it because

there seemed to be both a lot of love for 90s

and a lot of love for... Those Warner Brothers

characters. Well, you obviously saw Pinky in

the brain. We had the Animaniacs and I was Slappy

Squirrel and some of those so as Buster and Babs

Bunny just missing based on that is surprising

even though I don't know if I would have included

them in the top 100. I don't know how Slappy

beat out Buster and Babs. That's kind of So that's

interesting. About 20 points higher for Slappy

Squirrel than Buster and Babs Bunny. And I wanted

to include one more. I know I said 10, but I

want to include the 11th because it's interesting

too, Dan, because we had an anime character just

messing there with Kiki would have been the 11th

one out just missing the list. So I wanted to

kind of include that. But next, I wanted to kind

of go through some of the categories and kind

of see, in your guys' opinion, if we got it right

or kind of what are the biggest... misses out

of the ones that didn't make it. So I have a

number of different categories. We'll just kind

of take them one at a time and give your guys

a chance to weigh in on it. Let's start with

Pixar. The ones that did make the list, we had

Woody, Wally, Buzz, Sadness, Carl, Remy, and

Joy. Other characters that got votes but just

didn't make it, we had the Monsters guys. with

Mike Wasowski and James Sullivan. We have Dory,

Mr. Incredible, Princess Braves, considered Pixar,

right? Princess Merida. We have Marlon from Finding

Nemo, Riley Anderson from Inside Out, Nemo, and

then a couple of Cars characters, Lightning McQueen

and Toy Mater. Why did Nemo not make this list

and Join Sadness did? That's stupid. Nemo actually

was, actually Dory and Marlon both outscored

Nemo. I can kind of see that. I think they had

a little bit more personality than Nemo did.

But still, I mean, one of the Finding Nemo characters

should have at least taken one of those spots

from Joy and Sadness. Dan, agree or disagree

on that statement or the ones that didn't make

the list? Is there one that should have? I think

the one that kind of comes to my mind that you

mentioned would be Mr. Incredible. Just because

he is similar to Carl from Up, you know, the

middle -aged guy superhero character. Like I

think that that family in a whole you can maybe

I don't know if that would even work if we would

make them like their own distinct unit, but I

think of all the characters he's relatively strong

when it's in like Carl from up a unique one for

children's cartoon So I would I would include

him Nemo. I like I like Nemo, but I don't think

He is the I think his father is much more of

a dynamic name a character in that and Dory as

well She's really good communicative relief I

do think Woody like I mentioned when we in the

podcast is the best of all the Pixar characters

So I think we got at least him Right as number

one so I think overall we were pretty strong

with the rankings like Amanda mentioned maybe

joy and sadness, those emotions. I like that.

I think sadness is deserving, but I don't know

if Joria probably would swap Joria out with a

few of those other choices. I would have clicked

Jack -Jack from The Incredibles over any of the

early emotions that we could. Yeah, I think that's

maybe the emotions would be the debatable part,

but I think with Woody, Wally, Buzz. Carl and

Remy, I don't think you can argue too much against

those guys. But I can see maybe one or two of

the emotions getting voted out in someone like

Mr. Incredible or a Finding Nemo character or

something like that. Sketch, what do you think?

Yeah, I think we did pretty well with the Pixar

characters. I'm a little surprised Dory didn't

make it because Dory's so popular and got a spinoff

movie and all of that and is a good character

overall. so I would say Dory should definitely

be on here instead of Joy but I'm not sure if

I am or against the if I'm for or against the

camp of including Riley over any of the emotions

because technically they're all inside of her

so I don't know but Riley himself She was really

kind of controlled by what the emotions were

doing inside of her which I would say kind of

Makes it more apparent that the emotion should

be the ones that you're judging But I guess I

could see that go either way Yeah, I mean that

argument definitely was made by some commenters

not I'm with you I side on the fact that the

I don't think it's somewhat of a, I don't know

if it's cop out is the right word, but it's too

easy to say, well, they're all part of Riley.

So she's the one that should be in here. Cause

they're all in a way playing different characters.

That's how they're presented to us with different

voices, et cetera, et cetera. So I would give

more value on the individual emotions. Riley

was pretty far down there. I mean, she was probably.

third or fourth to last out of all the Pixar

characters, and I think that's about where she

should be. I do want to mention that the two

Cars characters were the two lowest out of the

Pixar vote -getters, so that makes me sleep better

at night. I'm very happy that me and her did

not make this list. Swinging it to one of Pixar's

competitors, at least somewhat in the early 2000s,

etc. DreamWorks, we only had one DreamWorks character,

if I'm remembering right. fine -tooth comb this,

but I think Shrek was the only character we got

from the DreamWorks world. If one of you guys

remember the different one, feel free to let

me know. But if we're going with the ones that

didn't make it, that did get votes, the highest

one would have been Toothless from the How to

Train Your Dragon series. Then we had Donkey

from the Shrek series, Hiccup, then Fiona, Puss

in Boots, Poe, and O. That's just getting confusing.

From home? Yes. And King Julian, that's a DreamWorks

character, right? From Madagascar. So those were

the other DreamWorks characters that got some

votes. Dan, start with you on this one. Is Shrek

the only one deserving? Or would you make an

argument for, let's say, Donkey, Puss in Boots,

or one of the How to Train Your Dragons characters?

I had Toothless on my list. I really think Sketch

actually brought this up regarding the creatures

and not even consider that. But I did have Toothless

on my list. I do think he's a great character.

And him and Hiccup, I think you can kind of almost

combine into one. And I think both of them are

really strong and deserve to be on the list.

Both were, you know, toothless was in my top

40. So I do definitely think he deserving. And

Donkey, too, I think, you know, that was what

the most notable thing anywhere he has done since,

you know, not ever, obviously, but since, you

know, his movie career has gone on the kind of

crap that I do think like he's deserving as well.

Outside of that for DreamWorks, nothing really

comes to mind. Maybe the penguins. I know those

DreamWorks. Yeah, that's I guess. Yeah. Yeah.

I know people love them. Love the penguins. Their

solo movie wasn't the greatest, but they are

pretty funny side characters. But Toothless is

the one that really kind of hurt me that he didn't

make the list at all. Amanda, agree or disagree?

I know you like a couple of those characters.

I really do like Donkey. and love Puss in Boots.

He even got his own movie, which was fantastic,

by the way. And I think that it's a little sad

that they didn't because they are super iconic

and really, really solid characters. And I'm

a little disappointed that more of the DreamWorks

characters didn't make it in. I even like Oh

from Home, and he's a fairly new character. He

was great, too. So a little sad that more DreamWorks

didn't get some representation more here. sketchy

and remarks is deserving of more representation

or shrek enough i think it makes sense if you're

only gonna have one that it would be shrek but

i i definitely see the argument for for toothless

hiccup uh... donkey and i love cousin boots i

love that character he's is hilarious and uh...

very very enjoyable and i like to spin off movie

didn't check out the struggle and he kicks ass

like me So yeah, I think pretty much all of those

that I just mentioned Are arguably worthy of

the top 100 probably not most of them in the

top 50 But I I think some of them at least are

worthy of the top 100 All right Moving on to

a category that I don't think needs any more

representation, but just in case people are curious

will run down which characters got the votes,

and I'm talking about the action characters,

specifically action characters mainly from the

80s, because we had Optimus Prime, He -Man, Megatron,

Snake Eyes, Skeletor, Cobra Commander, Donatello,

and She -Ra all make... Somewhere on the top

100 in various locations as I said the next one

in would have been Duke The other ones that were

getting votes in case people are curious how

the turtles fell Raphael would have been next

then we had Starscream Sergeant Slaughter and

then really Yes, then a trio of turtles we would

have had shredder Michelangelo then crank Then

Lionel from Thundercats, Destro from G .I. Joe,

Flint and Lady J and Baroness and Storm Shadow

from G .I. Joe. Then we would have finally got

to Leonardo and then we would have finished off

with Orko and Evil Lin from the Masters of the

Universe. Just quick reaction, Dan, any of those

even deserve a second thought or are you, what's

your thought on the order at least of the turtles?

We had Donatello, then Raphael, then Michelangelo

and then Leonardo way at the bottom. Man Leo

again in no respect. I guess when you're you

got to be the buzzkill I mean knowing this is

a geek list Donatello being number one makes

a lot of sense because I think for a lot of geeks.

He was very relatable You know Michelangelo,

I think was probably the most popular so and

then so I guess that list doesn't surprise me

I'm a little surprised like, you know Kang or

shredder didn't work get more love or and I think

you could make the Definitely make the case for

for either of those characters making the list.

I think Especially with the newer series. I think

they the shredder and crank Became really great

villains that I think more so than some of the

other 80s cartoons that we had on the list, so

maybe we put put those on perhaps but Besides

that I think we got the list, right? I think

Donald Tettle if you're gonna give me a turtle

to put on the list are tellable is my choice.

So Did we get the right ones on? Amanda, I know

you did make the argument off air that maybe

the turtles should have just been grouped as

a foursome and then they might have climbed up

a little bit. Yeah, I think that only having

one Ninja Turtle on here was kind of baffling

to me because everybody has their favorite. Ninja

turtle and I feel like that, you know people's

votes should have put them put them in there

But I think your argument to Kevin off here that

they kind of all split the votes So it made it

harder for them to get on the list is understandable

little sad though. Um But as far as not having

like shredder on there either that's a little

surprising Yeah, especially I think so with the

fact that the turtles have been on basically

in on air and in TV form or you know with the

movies etc for a long time like they've had at

least three different successful television series

that you seem like they would have a more of

a presence especially in comparison to some of

those other franchises maybe just something to

point out but apparently we had a lot of GI Joe

love amongst at least a couple of the contributors

because if you would have I don't know if you

heard all the ones that I mentioned, but we had

Snake Eyes getting votes. Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander,

Duke, Sergeant Slaughter, Destro Flint, Lady

J, Baroness, and Storm Shadow all receiving votes.

Like, that's mind boggling. More GI Joes get

votes than any... other franchise really out

there. That's crazy to me. I don't know if this

is going to come up on your categories, but why

no X -Men on this list? We excluded any comic

book characters as far as Marvel and DC. Okay,

good. I was wondering why. It's been a long time

since we went over the rules and the criteria,

but Dan and Oversketch, you guys surprised that

there was so much love for G .I. Joe in comparison,

especially with as much Transformers presence

as the site usually has that we only had Optimus

Prime, Megatron, and Starscream were the only

three Transformers. Yeah, I guess maybe the reason

being is that with GI Joe there's maybe Less

of consensus consensus over the favorite characters

because I know a lot of people so maybe that's

why yeah, that is kind of shocking Yeah, yeah,

so I don't know if I would make an argument for

any of them that we didn't include in there except

for like you guys said maybe I could see like

a shredder or if we had done something different

with the turtles, maybe as a group or something

to see how they would have fallen. But I think

for the most part, we have the most iconic ones

included in the list. So let's go to kind of

those classic characters, the old legendary or

super iconic from the past that may have gotten

lost in the shuffle when we're dealing with all

these more modern characters that are on people's

minds. So the only ones that I'm really considering,

because we're going to Obviously, I'm not counting

in any Hannah Barbera or Looney Tunes or Disney

in this. We're going to have those separate.

So outside of that, the ones that are kind of

just wild card classic characters, we really

only had a few make the countdown. We had Popeye,

surprisingly, way up at the top. We had Rocky

and Bullwinkle, Betty Boop, Droopy, and I'll

throw Gumby in there as well. Outside of that,

I couldn't really think of anybody else to include

in this list that wasn't a Hannah Barbera, Looney

Tunes, or Disney character that was more of a

classic character. So we just have the five.

Talking about some of them that received votes

that didn't make it, and I want to get your guys'

opinion on any of these guys were worthy, because

I think we missed a few here more than any of

the other sections we've gone over so far. So

the highest rated classic character that didn't

make it would have been Pink Panther. Then we

had Mr. Magoo, Woody Woodpecker. I'm going to

throw I guess, Johnny Quest in there, but then

Mighty Mouse, Fritz the Cat. We had Gerald McBoing

-Boing somehow get votes. Who the hell was that?

Heckel and Jekyll, Boris and Natasha, Felix the

Cat, Roger Ramjet, Tennessee Tuxedo, Ricochet

Rabbit, and Casper the Friendly Ghost. I'm interested

to hear your guys' opinion. Maybe it just depends

on what age you are and what you've been exposed

to. But for me personally, Pink Panther, Woody

Woodpecker, and then possibly Mighty Mouse, Heckel

and Jekyll, and even Boris and Natasha are the

bigger ones for me. Amanda, you're the youngest

of the group here. Do you think any of those

are worthy? That was a super long list for me

to remember. I think Pink Panther, really iconic

and kind of surprised I didn't make the list.

Mr. Miku, not really surprised that he didn't

show up. Woody Woodpecker also, I would put him

up there with Pink Panther as well. I think that

he's somebody that Everybody knows and is based

on how iconic he is. I think that he should have

made the list, but this This comes down to what

Dan said. 100 seems like a lot, but then when

you actually get to it, it really isn't. Just

the scope of all these characters. I can see

how some of these did fall off because they might

be kind of in the back of your mind since it

was probably a long time since you've seen, you've

had any exposure to them. You know, we talk a

lot about the bias of the list and that there

was a lot of love for Disney, a lot of love for

90s characters, et cetera, et cetera, Dan. Is

the classic characters the opposite of that?

Were they suffering a bit? from the other end

of the spectrum as far as, because outside of

anime, I don't know if any other subcategory

was less represented than kind of some of those

classic cartoon characters. What do you think?

I think so, definitely, because especially those

that don't have or didn't have multiple series

since their incarnation. Pink Panther, honestly,

is one I didn't include in my list, and think

back that that is... Was a failing in my part

so definitely should have had him listed. I did

have mr. Mergu, and I did have a few others that

were listed Yeah, I would Packer as well I remember

he's that's a character that's been around for

so long and I remember he had to have a series

in the 90s when I was a kid and that laugh I

mean how many people know that laugh like he's

definitely deserving so I think that that was

her you saw the age range of people and you know

and when I think when we think of cartoons people

tend to think of their childhood and As we see

with so many 90s characters in a lot of those

characters that you mentioned didn't have cartoons

in the 90s So they didn't really get exposed

to them. So It's hard to really even think of

them and that's kind of the hard part too with

when you're a character list is that Just even

thinking of the character to begin with Because

there's so many that kind of come up with so

I think that's really gonna hurt a character

that has not really been relevant for decades

And I know the commenters at least on a few of

the posts had mentioned Boris and Natasha in

the absence of them sketches that one of the

bigger ones that kind of stands out and how could

we not have Boris and Natasha like At least bump

off Dick Dasterly for Boris and Natasha. I think

Dick might possibly still belong on the list,

but not over Boris and Natasha. Come on. Boris

and Natasha. Such an iconic duo. Just those those

ideal classic mustache twirling villains. Any

other anyone? I was a little surprised, no Casper,

no Johnny Quest. I put both of those on my list.

No Mighty Mouse, put him on there too. You did

mention George of the Jungle. Oh yeah, yeah.

He was one too that got some votes. I have a

kind of a miscellaneous grouping that I wasn't

sure where to exactly throw them in, but George

of the Jungle would qualify too. Yeah, I was

always more of a fan of Mighty Mouse than Mickey

Mouse for some reason so Getting into a couple

other classic categories since I guess we pull

them out of what we were just talking about.

Let's just real quick talk about both the Hanna

-Barbera and the Looney Tunes back to back. Let's

start with Hanna -Barbera. We talked about the

lack of Hanna -Barbera characters throughout

because we kept expecting more and more to fall

and they really never did. We had basically six

of the classic Hanna -Barbera characters with

Fred Flintstone, Scooby -Doo, Yogi Bear, Tom

and Jerry, Huckleberry Hound, and Dick Dasterly

at the far end of it. So some... that got votes

that didn't make it, George Jetson, it's gonna

be a little bit longer of a list, so I apologize,

Muttley, Hong Kong Fooey, Top Cat, Quick Jar

McGraw, Josie, Snaggle Puss, Wilma Flintstone,

Captain Caveman, Shaggy, Secret Squirrel Penelope

Pistop, Dino Mutt, Bam Bam, Grape Ape, Judy Jetson,

Pebbles, Velma, Speed Buggy, Jabberjaw, McGillagorilla,

and Rosie from the Jetsons. Dan, we'll start

with you. Any of those, I know it was a long

list, but any other Hanna -Barbera characters

that you think should fit in, or did we get the

best of the best and that should have been the

end of it? Man, I feel like I'm unqualified when

it comes to Hanna -Barbera because I did not

watch a lot growing up. I do think we should

have probably had some more, like Jetsons, I

think a few of those, even some more Flintstones.

I think Barney and Fred, Fred's a great character,

but... Part of that, too, is his friendship with

Barney. So maybe Barney deserves to be on this

list someplace. So I think maybe from some of

the bigger Hanna -Barbera shows, we should have

gotten a few more characters. But I don't know.

There's just so many of them. The list that you

read, it's kind of insane. Yeah, I had Wilma

Flintstone on my list. I just thought she was

a good kind of side. you know, antithesis to

Fred in that series, but you can make the same

argument like you did with Barney. I guess from

the kind of the classics, the biggest three that

stand out to me, well, the biggest probably two

that stand out to me would be Quick Jar McGraw

and Top Cat. I know some people might make the

argument for Captain Caveman or Hong Kong Fooey,

but I think Top Cat and Quick Jar McGraw would

be the two biggest ones for me, as well as maybe

one, at least one Jetsons character. I mean,

you didn't watch a lot of Hannah Barbera, I'm

guessing, growing up, but did any of those characters

seem worthy to you? I watched a fair share, but

some of them I don't even know. Like Jabberjaw,

I never watched that. Quick Draw McGraw, I know

of him, but I don't remember watching anything.

I do think that Jetson should have been on here

more represented, and like Dan mentioned as well,

a little bit more Flintstones love just because

Fred is a big part of that, but I think there's

also some really solid characters in his show

as well. I didn't put a lot of Hanna -Barbera

on my list, but that's not all on my shoulders,

guys. So obviously there could have been more

Hanna -Barbera characters, but Sketch, were any

of the ones that I rattled off... more worthy

of the ones that did make it. I mean, we had

maybe the Who's Who of Hanna -Barbera with Fred,

Scooby, Yogi, Tom and Jerry, and Huckleberry

Hound. Maybe you could make the argument Dick

Dasterly, yes or no, but... I would take Dick

Dasterly out and put Shaggy in even. I mean,

I think Dick Dasterly would be the one that we

would take out to replace with somebody else

from that list that you just read off. Well,

Sketch, if we took Dick Dasterly off, who would

take that spot out of the list that I read off?

Yeah, probably Shaggy, but I think I think you

could make a compelling case for Velma. Velma

is such an important part of every version of

Scooby -Doo and a great character overall. I

think I was a little disappointed not to have

Mr. Spacely from the Jetsons because as far as

boss characters go he's like the best other than

maybe Montgomery Burns because he had a lot of

levels to him but at the core he was just you

know he was just that boss that you love to hate

and he was an amusing character. I had Rosie

on my list because I thought she was an interesting

and iconic character that George is honestly

arguably a much better father than Fred Flintstone

and in a way a better character. but To me, I

felt like if I was gonna throw one Jetsons character

on it would probably be Rosie or mr. Spacey and

I debated between the two but eventually went

with Rosie and Yeah, I think both of them would

have been good for the list Definitely surprising

the lack of Hannah Barbera for me overall, but

like I said a combination of some of them being

too old for people to think of on the spot or

to come up with especially when you're kind of

narrowing your list down. Also, DJ would be very

disappointed that Wally Gator wasn't even in

the running. No, did not receive a single vote.

while the gator was left in the cold. So I think

probably the most unpredictable category, subcategory

that we had in the whole countdown had to be

Looney Tunes, though. I don't know if anybody

could have predicted quite how that turned out.

And that started right from the get -go when

we saw Slappy Squirrel show up as far as Looney

Tunes, Warner Brothers, et cetera. Only about,

what, eight or nine? I guess we had probably

10 Looney Tunes characters. So we had Bugs Bunny,

the Animaniacs, Daffy Duck, Pinky and the Brain,

Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig, Road Runner, Wile

E. Coyote, Tweety Bird, and Slappy Squirrel.

I don't know if you were to tell me that we were

going to have 10 Looney Tunes. How many people

would have been able to name those 10? So a lot

of Looney Tunes left off. Go through the list

real quick. Obviously, we talked about Buster

and Babs Bunny. Go ahead. Wait, were you including

the Animaniacs characters in there? Yeah, yep,

I listed those load those guys off as well so

But the ones that didn't obviously buster and

Babs bunny then we go into a lot of the classics

foghorn Langhorn would have been the highest

next Then we had Yosemite Sam Elmer Fudd so Vester

then that's some more modern ones with plucky

duck Hampton Pig Apparently a lot of love because

there's like all kinds of characters from Animaniacs

and Tiny Toons and then we get a little bit further

down We have granny Michigan Jay frog has median

devil Macintosh, Pepe Lapew, Speedy Gonzales.

Obviously, there's a ton of Looney Tunes. You

can only have so many. Like we said, we're trying

to narrow this down to 100. There was probably

460 characters that got votes. So there's no

way we can get all these guys in. Dan, which

one to you, if any, should we have had in? What

do you make of the 10 that did make it? I don't

know what to make of it. I mean, obviously, 90s

is a huge influence. But the one that kind of

first comes to my mind, and I think it was mentioned

on the episode post was Elmer Fudd. If you think

about it, if you're having Bugs Bunny at two,

and I think where Daffy was, they don't work

if you don't have Elmer Fudd in a way, right?

I mean, that's part of that trio, part of that

back and forth, which was with Bugs and Elmer.

So if Elmer is gonna be, I mean, if Bugs gonna

be number two, I think that's... You know, he

needs the foil with Elmer. So maybe make some

clear that It's I think it's a good reasoning

to have him on the list. So Yeah, I thought like

you somebody Sam I think would also just because

I feel like he's probably one of the most The

fame one of the most famous ones and he's kind

of this weird like sometimes I feel like in some

cartoons He's a good guy in some cartoons. He's

not so You know who's weird is Peppy Whip Hugh.

I feel like he was a real, like, big fur fan.

I was always like, man, this guy is way too forward.

And even when I was little, I'm like, this isn't

right. I'm the only dude to do this to me when

I'm older. I'm especially surprised that Elmer

Fudd was even behind Yosemite Sam, and they were

both behind Foghorn and Leghorn. There was a

lot of Foghorn and Leghorn love, apparently,

because they were way up there at the top of

the list. And the one that I'm probably surprised

about the most, especially seeing how many 90s

characters, because I think the Tasmanian devil

had more of a 90s. presence too um and so i was

surprised that he didn't get a little bit more

love based on what we saw come out not that i'm

saying he was worthy but i could have seen him

getting a boost with the love for like the animaniacs

and the tiny toons and obviously there was a

taz series along the same time sketch what do

you yeah sketch what do you make of this looney

tunes it was probably the weirdest subcategory

for me to try to digest boy i think we did pretty

well with uh which ones made the list Don't know

about the order so much beyond say Bugs and Daffy.

It's It was kind of a wonky order as for ones

that we missed I Mean with the 90s love you would

have figured the Tasmanian devil would make it

you would have figured Babs and Buster money

no relation I would even say there was maybe

a few animaniacs characters that could have just

barely squeaked on like Oh Even dr. Scratch and

sniff is such a great character Didn't did get

a vote. He did get a vote I just didn't list

him because there was probably both between tiny

tunes and animaniacs There's probably at least

six of the minor characters that got votes. Yeah,

that makes sense So a slappy squirrel like why

did we have? Screwy squirrel got votes, too Oh,

really? And Skippy. So apparently that's some

squirrel love. So I don't know. Looney Tunes

boggles my mind when it comes to how we broke

that down. But I don't think you can make the

argument against Bugs and Daffy, obviously, making

it. I guess I don't ever. It's hard when you

talk about Marvin Martian, Road Runner, Wile

E. Coyote, and Tweety versus, like we said, Foghorn,

Yosemite, Elmer Fudd. and even like a Taz or

Speedy Gonzalez or Pepe Le Pew. I don't know.

I think it just comes down to the same type of

thing where a lot of people's votes get split

because you decide that you're only going to

include X number of these Looney Tunes characters.

So it's kind of interesting how it ends up working

out, I guess, in that list. Any other thoughts

on the Looney Tunes before we move on to a different

category? All right, well obviously the leader

of the pack I guess as we can talk about a little

bit before there is two that I'm kind of saving

for last because I think you guys are gonna be

a little bit shocked but let's get the Disney

stuff out of the way first. I broke it down a

little bit into Disney TV and Disney film, and

obviously Disney film far outweighed the Disney

TV. I think we had about 20 to 25 Disney, what

I'm calling TV slash theatrical shorts, those

types of characters make the list. When you go

to Disney films, we had over 65 Disney film characters

that got at least one vote. So let's start with

the TV. Obviously we had Mickey Mouse, Donald

Duck, and Goofy. Then we had Darkwing Duck, Scrooge

Mc... Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Chippendale. See

if you think we got that right or not, the ones

left off. And again, a lot of love apparently

for DuckTales. But we had Pete, classic Disney

character, Launchpad McQuack, Huey, Dewey, and

Louie, and then about six characters from DuckTales.

And then after that, we got Pluto way down at

the bottom. So are any of those characters? Are

any of these characters deserving to be in the

top 100? Is anybody going to make an argument

for Huey Dewey and Louie, Pete, Pluto, or any

of these other characters? Or did we get the

right ones in, Amanda? We don't need no more

ducks on this list. Every single member of the

Mighty Ducks. So Sketch, out of the seven that

we listed, are those the right ones to be in?

I know some people were head -scratching a little

bit as far as how high maybe Scrooge McDuck and

Darkwing Duck got up there, but would you put

any of those other ones on the list? I think

you can definitely make a case for Pete, a character

that you didn't mention that I think really should

make this list, is Kim Possible. What a great

character Kim Possible is. Oh, yeah, I didn't

include her in this grouping to me as far as...

Well, the Disney cartoon! Yeah, that's true.

I kind of have her in the miscellaneous group

some of the some of the more later ones I didn't

break them down into the the companies but Yeah,

I can see Pete. I guess my biggest one would

probably be Huey Dewey and Louie. I don't know

Dan, what do you think about the Disney TV slash

theatrical shorts characters? I think actually

I think we got it pretty well. I think all of

the the big The hot chose the most important

ones were certainly on the list. So that's that's

good to see Some of the you know other ones that

you mentioned I think there's some argument but

I don't there's anything glaring that I think

would Make them have to be on the top 100 Think

that's brought up again in the episode and I'll

be hoping on comments later But someone didn't

talk about gargoyles and I think that that was

a good point that they did have that was a pretty

Advanced show for kids during that time period

and they had to have some really strong characters

on that show You know Goliath for example, and

so I think there's some arguments there for for

him but again like The fact that that show maybe

didn't have the impact of some other shows maybe

the reason why But yeah, I think I think that

order is pretty solid and who we have is good.

So of all the companies think probably Disney's

when we Overall, maybe Mulan not being as high.

That might be a separate conversation Well, let's

get into that conversation then. Let's talk about

Disney film a little bit. Obviously, that's the

leader of the pack as far as the most that we

had on the countdown. 16 Disney film characters,

starting with the highest one being the Genie,

then Winnie the Pooh, Belle, Cruella DeVille,

Baloo, Scar, Ariel, Aladdin, Mufasa, Simba, Timon

and Pumbaa, Maleficent, Jiminy Cricket, Elsa,

Mulan, and Tinkerbell were the ones that made

it. I will go over real quick the ones that just

missed. Let's just list the 10 that missed it.

just barely. Eeyore would have been the next

one in from Winnie the Pooh. Then like we said,

Cinderella. Then we go to Sebastian, Lumiere,

Pinocchio, Beast from Beauty and the Beast, obviously.

And then we have Anna and Olaf from Frozen. We'll

get some more modern ones with Wreck -It Ralph

and Baymax. And then we would have got a couple

more classics with Peter Pan and Dumbo. Amanda,

you're a big Disney fan. What were the most glaring

ones do you think that we missed as far as not

including in the top 100 that maybe should have

been there? Sebastian, Lumiere, Beast, definitely.

I think that those are some really, really awesome

characters that maybe, you know, I can kind of

understand the argument because of the side characters,

but look at all the characters that we had from

Lion King, and we didn't have room for more of

these really awesome characters. And I think

that Lumiere, especially, and Sebastian close

to him as well, Beast, man, if Belle's on this

list, I really think that Beast should have been

on this list too. Those are just kind of... the

ones that are sticking out. Pinocchio 2, as terrifying

as that movie was when you're little, it is amazing.

And I don't think it got enough credit. I think

you could make the argument again here that the

classic versus modern plays a part when it came

to the Disney films, because we got two characters

from Aladdin, one Little Mermaid, three Lion

King, et cetera. Frozen Mulan was represented.

But when you go to the classics, maybe Tinkerbell,

Jiminy Cricket. Maleficent and Cruella de Vil

are about the only ones that we had. So some

of the classic ones that left off, like we said,

Cinderella, you have Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Dumbo,

Snow White, Bambi, all left off. Dan, any of

those deserving? Or I know you had Dumbo pretty

high on your list, so I know that you'd make

the argument for Dumbo. But any other ones that

you think should maybe have taken the spot of

some of these Lion King or more modern characters?

Yeah, I did I didn't have dumb. Oh hi my let's

like I said something for flying characters that

don't speak for some reason I I do think Sebastian's

a good one because like Sebastian he was such

a huge character when Little Mermaid came out

and So I he I think is certainly deserving Of

this list. It's it's tough. What are my personal

favorites? I I know why I didn't expect him to

make the less but I really always since I was

a kid really enjoyed aristocrats and Thomas O'Malley

like the main cat from that like to me is like

the coolest Disney character ever So, again,

not surprising he didn't make the top 100, but

I think he's from a period of time, you know,

the risk of crats is not the most highly regarded

Disney film. Even, you know, some characters

from Lady and the Tramp. I think you could, the

Lady and the Tramp, for example, are deserving

of the list. Bambi, I mean, say what you will,

Bambi, Thumper. I think it could make the argument

there, but we also did have 16 characters. I

don't know. I think some of the 90s characters

certainly could have been taken off. Some of

the Lions King characters that we've talked about

already. But those are the ones that I had listed.

Lumiere, like Amanda mentioned, is a great character

that probably should have been on here too. Yeah,

and if we make the the princess argument one

last time obviously we had Belle Ariel Elsa and

Mulan the next ones that would have been Cinderella

then Anna and then it would have gone down to

Snow White I think the next one after that would

have been Rapunzel And then Pocahontas would

have been the next one after that. So that would

have been how the princesses all shook out. I

want to put Pocahontas over Elsa. We know that

you don't like Elsa. But Pocahontas is always

very weird. Sketch, what do you think about Disney

overall? Did we get it close outside of maybe

a little bit more modern and a little lack of

some of the classic characters? Yeah, it's really...

Four four is a lot for a Lion King, even though

I love that movie And I think it's great and

in retrospect those characters are very good

Mmm, I don't know. I kind of feel like the ones

that didn't quite make it of those Beasts you

could you could definitely make an argument for

beast you could make an argument for Sebastian

but beyond that I kind of feel like we have enough

All right Fair enough then. Let's move away from

Disney since we spent more time talking about

Disney during the four episodes than any other

grouping. Dan, I think you might be surprised

at this one. because I said that in the Disney

category, we did have like 65 different Disney

film characters that got votes, plus the 21 Disney

TV characters. So that's almost 80 different

Disney characters that got at least a vote. But

when we were talking about these Hanna -Barbera,

Looney Tunes, Pixar, DreamWorks, the 80s action,

the classic categories, all those categories,

none of them had more than 30 characters get

a vote. We had 43 anime characters get votes.

So we actually had more anime characters give

votes than all of those other categories outside

of Disney and one other category that we haven't

talked about yet. Obviously we only had seven

make it with Goku, Sailor Moon, Totoro, Nasuka,

Tetsuo, Astro Boy, and Ashitaka. Apologies if

I pronounced any of those wrong, but those are

the seven that made it, but a lot. Like I said,

43 total getting votes. The biggest ones being

Pikachu, Kiki, and then I'm going to butcher

a bunch of them. But we had some more Dragon

Ball characters. We had Frieza, Vegeta, Piccolo,

Cell, all got votes somewhere along the way.

We also had Chihiro, if I've said that right.

I don't know. Setsuko, Doraemon, Speed Racer,

Korra. There was a lot of Lupin Let's see San

Ash Ketchum a Lot of votes a couple different

avatar characters any surprise that we had that

many anime characters get votes on it And which

ones do you think Dan should have been on the

list that you're aware of? I Actually am surprised

we had that many that's kind of cool The one

I think that and after doing the list and I think

that was certainly deserving was actually Blue

Pawn, which is a character that I really didn't

know much of, if it wasn't for us doing the Hayao

Miyazaki retrospective, doing his first film,

Castle of Kaleostro, but getting to learn about

that character, just how influential he's been,

how long around he's been, just in, I'm really

liking that character from that one movie that

we saw in... Too bad that's not here because

you could probably talking much more about him

But I think he's one that certainly is deserving

and I think sketch brought it up guarding the

you know the difference in the first episode

having Characters outside of that of the Western

culture the ones that are really big outside

of the u .s. And I think he's certainly one that

should have been on here speed racer Another

big one who's been around forever? Who I think

has an underrated film that's visually appealing

if not if if you can get around the fact that

some of it makes no sense, but Anyways, but yeah,

so I think Lupin is the character that comes

to mind as the one that's probably Should we

talk should have been on here someplace? Couple

other ones that I want to give a shout out to

here. We had Akira Naruto spike. I think it's

Spiegel monkey D. Luffy light Yagami Aeon flux

Ang The Elric brothers L. I know a lot of anime

fans will recognize those even if I'm saying

I'm wrong What do you think about some of these

and which ones were the most deserving When I

voted for anime characters like the more modern

ones I tend to put those more in the Kind of

the further down my list So that's where you

would have found the likes of the L work brothers

L Gendo Akari Those those types and then Like

I really think I didn't vote for Lupin because

I figured internationally he wasn't a big enough

deal I feel like I probably should have anyway.

I Definitely did that in some other cases like

Doraemon is a huge character in Japan So I think

Doraemon should have made the list Char Aznable

Kind of the main antagonist of the Universal

Century Gundam and Gundam is a huge franchise

and Char Aznable Beyond that is such a great

character. He's He's he's so complex and layered.

I really can't even get into it But as far as

an icon iconic villain goes they've been repeating

that kind of character for as long as Gundam

has existed Never quite the same, but he's a

big deal So I think Shar should have made the

list and the groundbreaking ghost in the shell

film the the lead of that Makoto Kusanagi the

major Which is getting a live action adaptation

soon That's a character that should make the

list She's you know, she's a strong independent

woman and she don't need no men But she makes

major ass and there was also the animated series

and It was just a huge franchise too. And she's

a great character within that strong female character

like Between her and Nausicaa. It was hard for

me to decide which one of them is Like the better

archetype strong female anime character but other

ones like Haruko from Fooly Cooly FL CEO that

that is a great character. She's mischievous

she's selfish and still really endearing which

I think takes some serious writing chops and

I'm glad that that Luffy got some mention as

One Piece is another franchise that has been

going for many many years it's still airing in

Japan and so is Pokemon so is Detective Conan

so his character that's definitely never really

gone away I'm not at all surprised to see enough

people mention Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop,

because Cowboy Bebop is like super quintessential.

Also, you really snafu'd there, buddy, lumping

in Avatar with anime. There are some people who

would lynch you for that. I personally, I don't

care either way. Avatar characters, I voted for

Ong. I think he's a great character. Korra...

Arguably is a good character, but I found her

to be very frustrating when watching that show

so I didn't throw any votes to her but Avatar

fantastic series need should be represented and

I think at the very least on as kind of like

a lot like kid Goku But that that's like the

whole of his character. He doesn't grow up to

be like a really irresponsible jackass So arguably

he's like, the better Goku. Speaking of Goku,

Dragon Ball, Amanda, we had just the one character

with Goku on the list. We had a lot that just

missed it. Do you think we only needed one Dragon

Ball Z character or Dragon Ball character? Or

do you think there was room for a Piccolo or

Cell or Vegeta, like some of these other ones

that got votes? I understand why we only had

the one on there. Would I have liked to see like

Vegeta and Piccolo on there? Hell yeah. Love

those characters and I think that it's a super

solid series that went on for a long time and

really got me into like the whole Toonami era.

And I think that if we had some more room for

anime, I don't know if they would show up still.

All right, fair enough, but definitely surprised

and wanted to mention the amount of anime characters

that did get votes even though maybe a lot of

them didn't end up making the list that there

was at least some representation in the voting

for them. Another category that didn't seem,

the last one we'll go over here, but one category

that seemed underrepresented and we got definitely

a lot of comments on the website about the lack

of some of these prime time or more adult themed

cartoons like The Simpsons and South Park, etc.

But definitely not underrepresented when it came

to characters that got votes because we had over

57 characters that would have ranked in those

categories that got votes, even though we only

had probably 10 I guess that you would consider

that got actually enough votes to make the list

with Homer, Eric Cartman, Bart Simpson, Ren and

Stimpy will throw in there, Beavis and Butt -head,

Peter Griffin, I'm gonna throw Daria in there,

Bender, Stewie Griffin, and Sterling Archer.

I guess if we're gonna have some loose definitions

on this category, but 57 other, or 50 other characters

that basically got votes. including Meatwad,

Brian Griffin, Stan Marsh, Hank Hill, Fry, Mr.

Burns, Master Shake, Birdman, Glenn Quagmire,

and Dr. Katz would have been the highest on that

group, but there's like 30 more that I could

name. So Dan, what do you think, as far as, what

was the reasoning that you could put together

that we have so many of them getting votes, yet

so underrepresented, I guess, according to some,

when it came to the actual top 100? I don't know

I think maybe for when I was putting my my list

together when I came to those I I think I I was

thinking that they would be overly represented

in a way I don't know why but that was kind of

my mindset so I didn't I tended to keep to them

and not like have tons of them on my list I think

also similar to with Hannah Barbera it's hard

to pick like your favorite out of a lot of them

you know like for example King of the Hill bring

that show up, you know, who's a better character,

Hank Hill or Bobby Hill, and I think that might

split the crowd. And I think for a lot of people

with these, they picked one or two people and

you saw that with the Simpsons, which is why,

you know, Simpsons, like, you know. Homer and

Bart were so high so maybe that's a big reason

why and a lot of the adult cartoons too tend

to have a certain sense of humor um style about

them and if that doesn't work for you you may

not like it because there's a lot of people who

hate Family Guy there's a lot of people like

especially with the adult swim shows that hate

those or love those so when you have a polarizing

type of style I mean I know there's a lot of

people hate South Park it's so unlike something

that's more the Disney which is Mean, I know

there's people who hate it, but overall I think

its sensibility is a lot more Universal in a

way. Yeah universal exactly the word I'm thinking

of so I think that that could be a reason why

but I was surprised by the how we How little

there were I mean, I'm glad we did to get some

like Daria. That was great seeing her on the

list I do think Lisa Simpson was a big one. I

thought that deserved to be on the list some

of the other South Park characters Come to my

mind, but yeah, that was probably the biggest

shock for me was just the women we had in the

Characters that were cured towards adults And

if we're taking Simpson, just for example, I'll

just use that as one example. I kind of give

you a feel for how many characters are getting

voted here. Obviously, we just had Bart and Homer

were the only two that actually made the list.

But if we're just going down here, we had Mr.

Burns. We also had Lisa Simpson. We had, let's

see here, Marge Simpson that got a vote. We had

Montgomery Burns, Ralph Wiggum. There's probably

a couple others that I sideshow Bob crusty the

clown and there's probably a few that I don't

aren't aware about that are Simpsons characters

So that's you know seven or eight characters

there that got votes and I could do the same

thing probably for South Park As well as a couple

of these other shows Sketches are just something

that becomes hard to kind of Break down because

there also was a huge even though none of them

made the list we had a huge amount of characters

especially from like the adult swim stuff like

um space ghosts and sea lab and birdman and frisky

dingo and and all those types of shows there

was a lot of characters that got votes from those

shows just none of them made the list is it just

too hard to narrow it down when you only have

a hundred spots to include some of these yeah

i i think so and i think uh there's also at least

when i was coming up with my list i i had the

desire to kind of uh prioritize the trailblazers,

so to speak. So if a character kind of feels

like a rehash, then I would be less likely to

vote for them unless they really set themselves

apart. So I think that was definitely a factor

in there. And I think like with what happened

with G .I. Joe, people just have their particular

favorite characters and it really splits the

vote. Right. It could easily be a list of its

own. We could easily have done a top 100 in this

genre, and we would have had plenty to go around.

Oh, definitely. You could probably do a top 100

Simpsons list pretty easily. yeah that's how

many characters especially with these shows that

have been on for you know 10 plus years uh which

a lot of you know there's been a handful of those

simpson south park etc etc um futureama that

could easily do that aqua teen hunger force had

about three or four characters that made the

list that i forgot to mention before amanda just

too hard to to make enough spots for more of

these characters or did we at least get the cream

of the crop with the ones that i mentioned that

did make the list I really would have liked to

see some aqua teen love on here and I think the

Argument to have more Simpsons characters on

here is a pretty solid one. I think people were

kind of focusing more on either things from their

childhood or things that were just more you know

iconic like We're going to say Mickey Mouse bugs

money, Daffy Duck, things like that. So a little

sad that there wasn't more room for them, but

going back to the same argument that there's

only 100 spots here and there's a billion of

these characters. Right. Absolutely. In Family

Guy, there would have only been two more. We

would have had Brian Griffin and Glenn Quagmire.

I think those were the only two that missed it

for that. Mallory Archer also got votes. So a

lot of, like I said, 50, almost 60 some characters

in this category that did receive votes. So I

didn't want to make it seem... I guess the biggest

thing here is revealing as far as both anime

and some of these adult cartoons is that... it

wasn't as underrepresented as maybe the top 100

made it feel like in the whole process even though

when it came down to who made it it kind of shook

out that way. So I guess revealing the other

side of the curtain in a way. The only other

thing as far as I want to go over before I turn

it over to you guys and some reactions overall

and kind of your list etc. was the miscellaneous

categories. I couldn't really find a way to get

these guys in, but I just want to throw them

out so people know that people voted for them.

Like we said, with the Rugrats characters, Bobby

from Bobby's World, Arthur, Doug Funny, the Chipmunks,

Alvin Simon and Theodore, Samurai Jack, Freakazoid,

Littlefoot from The Land Before Time, Danger

Mouse, got a lot of love on the comment board,

Johnny Quest, Arnold from Hey Arnold, Finn and

Jake, Charlie B. Barkin, Madeline, Phineas and

Ferb, Rocko, Dora, Eek the Cat, Ed Edd and Eddie,

The Minions, Kim Possible, Angela Anaconda, Flash

Gordon, Count Duckula, Curious George, Jimmy

Neutron, Underdog, Clifford, that's just... maybe

a fourth or a third of the list of kind of this

more miscellaneous groups and we'll just kind

of lead that into a tie -in into your own personal

list and what you guys feel like was your biggest

regrets or one that you want to champion and

kind of give a couple seconds of airtime to.

Amanda, we'll start with you. As far as your

list goes, name four or five characters that

you really wish could have got a little bit more

time to talk about. I think I mentioned last

time my biggest regret was Charlie B Bark and

not showing up I don't know how popular that

all dogs go to heaven was but I know that it

was a really big part of my childhood and I learned

a lot from that and holds a definite special

place in my heart so I'm not sure what kind of

love it got but I'm sad that he didn't show up

here also Arnold I'm surprised that he didn't

make the list I would have Especially I think

with all the 90s love that we got that football

had would have made it on here and little sad

that more Rugrats didn't make it but I get it.

We had Tommy he was you know the I guess though

the forefront of the show will say also Doug

and like Rocco things like that. I'm a little

sad and Todd and copper from Fox and the Hound,

super sad, maybe that's why, but I think they

definitely deserved a spot on the top 100. Obviously

in that miscellaneous group, it seemed to include

a whole lot of 90s characters as well. Dan, what

do you think as far as some of those names and

your own personal list and what you kind of would

like to give a few more seconds of your time

to? Doggo's one actually got pretty high and

I think honestly, I think he's, I would take

out. uh tommy pickles and put doug in because

i think he's a much more complex character and

interesting like you know teenage kid and uh

you know very angsty very uh fun um you know

uh alter ego with quail quail boy or quail man

there you go so so i i think doug funny deserved

to be on the list um Think the highest one that

I had ranked that didn't make the list was fry

from Futurama Which I think fry is such a great

character Bender certainly funnier. He has some

great moments, but I think fry is the heart of

that show He's some really he's kind of a doofus.

He you know, but there are some really sweet

and tender Moments especially between him and

Leah Lila, you know thinking of like idle hands

or devils Forget the name of the episode the

one that was almost a season finale, but I think

he's a really Devil santa devil santa. There

you go. There you go. I always get that wrong

Good lord Oh, I had to do it, guys. I had to

talk about it. Speaking of 90s, I know Tick is

kind of weird because, you know, his origins

and stuff like that. So that was kind of tricky

when it came to, you know, with comic book characters.

But I love the Tick. So he's a lot of fun. I

think he may be deserved. You mentioned Littlefoot,

you know, as a kid who grew up during that time,

Land Before Time hit me hard as a kid. It scared

me. It took my heartstrings and then, of course,

they made like, what are they up to the 80th

movie in that franchise? And I think one thing

was really hard with this list when it came to

educational characters and what to do with those.

The only one I had on my list was Fat Albert,

because I felt like he, it's a cartoon within

an educational show really, but I do think Fat

Albert is deserving of a mention. But I feel

like everyone else that I had on my list that

didn't make it, we brought up in one way or another

for the most part. Sketch, what about you? Any

characters that we haven't talked about that

you'd like to bring up a little bit? Yeah, Aku.

Shifting Master of Darkness. Such a great villain,

and sadly his voice actor passed on. But, oh

man, I loved Aku, and Jack is a great character.

You did mention Jack. So, Jack versus Aku, such

a compelling experience every time. They would

come up with these different ways of having them

face off and Aku was super evil and super eccentric

like the the dude decided to Write fairy tales

about how Samurai Jack is a bad guy to try and

get kids on his side. I mean What other villains

do that? That's fantastic and Nickelodeon love

Invader Zim what a great character is Invader

Zim. I'm very disappointed That Zim and Rocko.

Rocko didn't make the list. I love Rocko too.

I mimic Dan's thoughts on Doug. Kinda later Disney

cartoons. I did mention Kim Possible. Phineas

and Ferb. Very well deserving. I think they kind

of stole Dexter's stick but did it really well

and I have no problem with that. Finn and Jake.

Really big deal lately. I think they're great

characters. Finn's a very complex hero, and Jake

is kind of a goofball, but he has these different

sides to himself. And among other more recent

characters, I really think Rick and Morty ought

to have gotten a shot here. I think their dynamic

is fantastic. Rick is such a... He's pretty insane.

And their dynamic is super, super great. And

among the other 90s characters, I love The Tick,

and I was debating between The Tick, and this

took my 100th spot, Freakazoid. I love Freakazoid.

I think, unfortunately, because his show is so

short -lived, and it's not quite as iconic as,

say, Invader Zim, and that's why I put Zim way

higher. but Freakazoid, such a great idea for

a character, so much fun to watch and I think

he really deserved a nod at the very least and

kind of along the lines of Spongebob, Cosmo and

Wanda from the Fairly Oddparents seem like characters

that probably should kind of squeak onto the

list. I'm a little disappointed they didn't because

that show has been going a long long time and

it's a really good show. If Tic and Freakazoid

are on this list, they better not show up on

there, that's all I'm saying. I do like, I think

I like, I like the Fairy Godparents, I like them.

Timmy's a little Brett, but I think I like Wanda

the best, but I get your argument for them. I

think they're solid characters, but if, like

I said, if Tic and Freakazoid can't make this

list, I definitely don't want them on there.

Simpsons characters, I think mr. Burns should

make the list such a great character so so evil

yet so hilarious a Little surprised because it

was such a big deal for a while Nobody from the

more recent my little pony and that's a great

we did have we did have a couple that got boats

Twilight Sparkle got a vote and I want to say

that there was at least one other character but

I'm not coming up with the name of it but Twilight

Sparkle did receive at least one vote. Yeah from

me. I didn't put her very high but I felt like

that she needed to be represented in there somewhere

because it's a pretty good character I mean maybe

not a hundred worthy. Don't know but we're just

shedding more light on the fact that you could

do a top 500 and still Yeah, the other my little

the other my little pony was Rainbow Dash Rainbow

Dash. Yeah Rainbow Dash is a great character

Any the other place that I feel like this list

really doesn't well represent is so we got anime

We got American cartoons, but like beyond that

not not very Not a whole lot of other international

like European characters like Tintin and you

did mention danger mouths But right like no danger

mouths. No Tintin Very yeah, no Count Ducula

only Gromit out of Wallace and Gromit Right.

I think that's expected though based on who's

making these lists Yeah, I mean who has that

much exposure to those Yeah, in a way, unfortunately,

a lot of people without even one of my biggest

ones was Fiverr from Watership Down and most

people don't even know what that is probably.

But another European character that I think if

you've seen that film, you would kind of understand

why. I had him in the top 25, I think. So I definitely

see your argument there. Other ones that I had

that I wanted to highlight real quickly, we've

had a lot of love and a lot of mentions for a

lot of 90s characters so far, which we had both

on the countdown in here with some of these honorable

mentions. Let's shift it a little to the 80s.

I think Jem could have snuck in there as an iconic

80s female character. like Dan, even though it

was kind of late 70s, but I also kind of cared

over the 80s. I agree with the Fat Albert pick

as well as somebody that could have kind of snuck

in there. There was three smurfs that actually

got votes that none of them made it, but Papa

Smurf, Gargamel, and Smurfette all got votes.

I had Papa Smurf on my list towards the very,

very, very bottom, but I'll throw that out there.

We talked about some of the educational ones.

I had three. I had Dora the Explorer. I had Have

you ever watched an episode? No, I just put her

on based on Iconic and this and that type of

thing as far as how long she's been around. Yeah,

me too. Know who she is. I also had Clifford

the Big Red Dog and Curious George on there as

kind of some older ones that I felt like that.

I had Rocky from Chicken Run on my list that

I thought was a good character. I had Emmett

from the Lego movie. Just barely make my list.

Other ones that I wanted to point out. quickly

the more love for Mighty Mouse I had him and

then I had Wilbur from Charlotte's Web on my

list because I think that movie is underrated

I think I think there could be some more love

and one more time just so we appease the number

of people especially on the comic board Danger

Mouse was right around the 50 mark for me so

those are kind of the ones that I wanted to give

a little bit more time to some statistics real

quickly as well in case anyone's interested out

of out of you guys. As far as the participants

in here, I thought it was interesting to kind

of break it down and see whose list most resembled

our actual top 100. Dan, I'm curious if you were

guessing a gambling man or a betting man. We

had 100 spots obviously that were revealed. What

do you think would be the number the highest

number for someone who had in common with that,

like 25 out of the 150, 75, what would be a good

number as far as somebody matching up with the

actual list that came out? I'll go 60 is the

highest, would be my guess. All right, you're

right in the ballpark. You were actually the

most representative of the actual top 100. You

had 66 of your picks that made it into the top

100. So you were the closest as far as the group

goes. And then myself and the member from the

Behind the Voice Actors, we each had 61. And

then Sketch, I think you had 58. So those would

be the highest. And then we went all the way

down to somebody that only had 19. Was it Matt?

No, I'm sorry. We had some of the head we had

to Matt Matt was lower than that actually Matt

only had ten Well, he I to be fair he only ranked

50 I believe and then He also had a lot more

of some of those like we talked about some of

those anime characters some of those more adults

characters that He gave the love for that didn't

end up getting enough love to make it So a big

range from from 10 all the way up to 66 You should

have ranked a hundred characters and just like

garbage slot the rest Obviously also much easier

to rank the the as we went through the episodes

the 1 through 25 was was Easier by far to predict

from us. I had 24 out of those 25 That would

have been the highest out of that episode when

we went to numbers 26 through 50 Dan, you were

the highest. You had 21 out of those 25 in the

list. And then it gets a little bit harder on

the other end. So 51 through 75, the highest

was 16. And then when we got to the 76 through

100, the highest anybody matched was 10 out of

those 25. So then it becomes a real guessing

game towards that end. And then we've obviously

talked about the stats as far as the breakdown

from the companies, et cetera. Obviously Disney

reigned supreme with 23. I think the next. highest

was if you wanted to combine all eras of Hanna

Barbera slash the Cartoon Network. They had 12,

seven anime characters, seven Pixar characters,

11 Warner Brothers slash Tiny Toons characters,

80 male, 20 female, 90 good, 10 bad, as far as

good versus bad characters, and just a couple

more stats to throw out at you as far as their

origin goes. 34 of them originated on television

in some way, shape, or form, 16 in theatrical

shorts, 20 in film. We had eight that originated

in a novel or a book, six from a comic book,

six from a comic strip, five from a manga, one

from a play, and four from folklore or fairy

tales, as I didn't kind of describe that one.

And then from an era standpoint, we had and this

is including. So for the four folklore ones,

I didn't go back as far as that one goes. So

we had one from 1890s, one from the 1900s, four

from the 1920s, five from the 1930s, 11 that

originated in the 1940s, 11 from the 1950s, drops

down to six from the 1960s, drops all the way

down to three from the 1970s. Then 1980s we had

18, 1990s we had 31. 2000s we had five and from

the 2010 decade we had four so kind of interesting

to see how that kind of uh went up and down through

different times you can see the 60s 70s it really

dropped down and then spiked back up for the

80s and 90s and then dropped back down for the

2000s Well, there's a dark time in animation.

It was. Dan, we'll go around and give you guys

each one more shot to kind of give your thoughts

on any of those stats I threw out, or just overall

thoughts on the list, the process, the good,

the bad, the things we do right and wrong with

this, and kind of your thoughts overall. A lot

more male than female, a lot more good than bad,

maybe to be expected. But what did you think

of all that? Mean it's kind of disappointing

that there was that much many that many more

male characters than female characters, but I

think that that's kind of Yeah, it's kind of

unfortunate. But uh, I think that what's most

surprising was the fact that it's only ten Evil

or you know protagonists in this or antagonists

I should say which is surprising because you

think about a lot of Shows a lot of cartoons

TV shows often the villain is the the best character

So I'm especially for Disney movies. So that's

that that's a little shocking to me But I guess

that's the one standout that I see I'm like everything

else kind of makes sense But that one I would

think if you ask me going into this I would think

either it would be near even or we would actually

get more villain characters, perhaps but It's

kind of surprising Especially even when you look

at it for the number of Disney film characters

we had we didn't have a lot of the Disney villains

Which is I think one reason why we had so few

overall I mean, I think half of our villains

are from our 80s action cartoons where we had

Skeletor Cobra Commander and Megatron, you know

That's that's the majority of our villain characters

and we had one kind of from Hannah Barbera and

maybe two or three Disney villains and yeah I'm

surprised that the the lack of of villains that

we had The female characters it is unfortunate

that we only had 20. I was thinking it might

even be small of a grouping, so I'm happy we

got up to at least 20, but it's a shame that

there aren't more that really resonate or that,

it's not that there's not more that resonate,

they just haven't existed because of the kind

of the way that. the entertainment business has

worked over time. So it's a shame that there

hasn't been more put out there for us to rate

like this. Amanda, what do you think overall,

kind of as the list of a whole, as the time periods

and the evil versus good, et cetera? I feel like

how the time periods reflect the ages that we

are watching cartoons in the age range of the

people that compiled these lists. You can see

when we started watching cartoons and you can

see where it dropped off where people aren't

probably watching cartoons as steadily as they

were when they were little. That's probably all

they were watching. So I think that's that's

kind of a true representation there of that and

super sad that there's not a lot more female

representation on here. I think that that's sad

and there are a ton of cool characters if you

can really get into it. I don't think that's

just Disney princesses that should have been

represented on here. I think that's something

too that especially as you become a little bit

more versed in some of this and you open up your

horizons to like what we're talking about some

more international some more anime and stuff

then you're going to have a bigger presence of

possibilities there. I would have definitely

predicted that the 60s and 70s would have seen

the drop because it was not necessarily a great

time as far as animation goes but I would not

have predicted that, because going in, I thought

we were going to have a ton of kind of these

more older classic characters or characters that

had roots from back in the early 1900s. But if

you take the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, and the 50s,

that equals 31. We had 31 characters from the

20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. And we had 31 characters

from the 90s. I would not have predicted that.

I would have not have predicted the 1990s to

be equal to those four decades. Combined when

we had the the influx of Disney and Looney Tunes

and Hannah Barbera So that is probably the most

striking thing when it came to time periods I

should have learned my lesson though through

these countdowns that 90s does get the love that

It does based on the age of the people but I

thought when it came to characters that we'd

have more of that early Presence, so I am surprised

at that sketch. What do you think overall? Yeah

Think there's not nearly enough love for things

after the 90s Yeah, that's also surprising only

ten characters that debuted post 1999. Yeah,

that's That's that's pretty sad Because there

are definitely some great characters I mean you

you might be a little hard -pressed to find really

great characters in the most recent decade But

at least in the 2000s there was certainly at

least more than five good characters. So I'm

a little disappointed in that regard. A little

disappointed in female representation, not terribly

surprised. I think I have about 20 female characters

on my list. Maybe a little bit more. And, yeah.

It is a little troubling that most of the female

characters that are listed are Disney princesses,

which are not necessarily the most Right, yeah

luckily luckily we did have like the likes of

something like a Coraline or Daria and a couple

of other ones because I would have hated for

it to just be all Disney females as far as that

goes so Um, kind of a last thing to do here is

just to give some credit and some shout outs

to the people that have been listening along

the way. We've had a ton of, uh, ton of people

listening, a ton of people commenting on, on

the website. And we definitely appreciate your

guys's interaction. And it's not, this process

would not be fun if it wasn't for the ability

to kind of interact with you guys and kind of

see this as it unfolds and kind of experience

that with you. So we definitely appreciate that.

And we wanted to give a little bit of time to

kind of call out some of the best and some of

the. interesting comments that have been made.

So Dan, I know you had a chance to kind of go

through and pull a few of those. So what would

you want to highlight as far as our interaction

with the guests over the course of this major

project? Sure. Well, I think there should be

a special award for David Baraffi who did put

a list in, who has some blogs, so definitely

go check that out. It's definitely given a lot

of great feedback that I would advise if you're

listening to this to check that out by giving

the Geocast radio where he kind of breaks down

each Choice and gives his opinion on if they're

deserving there or not. What should have been

there? What shouldn't have been there? But what

some other ones I wanted to mention and that

kind of just some of these we talked about a

little bit But I wanted to bring up A few of

them, because it can lead to some good questions

that were asked. One was from Trent Williams,

who said, this is my first time commenting on

the site, which is great. I'm glad we're getting

some new people. And I'm simply loving the countdown

so far. Thank you so much. I'm a big fan of lists

and countdowns, TV, movies, music, pro wrestling,

et cetera. And these shows are great listens.

I have went back and listened to the top 100

podcasts you've done. And they're great. Also,

you guys do them better than the other sites,

because we do them outside of the clickbait type

of thing. And yes, you know if we wish we did

more of these more than once a year And you can't

wait for for more. I didn't want to comment first.

Thank you so much for that That's greatly appreciated

We are definitely looking to do another top 100

next year has not been quite determined. We have

a few things in mind It's it's I will say it's

challenging to do more than one top 100 year

There's a lot of work that goes into this From

the editing standpoint to the research standpoint

to get people to come on to getting a list together

So and it's tough to do more than one it legitimately

You know we do this at the end of the year for

a reason tend to the tends to take a year to

kind of get Ready you to do it all and did it

to do it, right? but if you do like listing countdowns

as Kevin myself and Amanda are also part of Cinemagage

with Matt, who was on the first episode. We have

a lot there. We were currently counting down

our top 100 favorite movies of all time. Last

year, we did a lot of countdown to our favorite

of the half decade so far, from our favorite

movies to picking out each genre. And coming

up, we've done some this year, but we're going

to really kick in next year, top 10 Tuesday articles,

which will be coming out every week. So there

are a lot of different lists that we've done

out side of this one. So I would check out Geocast

Radio, Cinema Geeks, Geocast, Talking in Circles.

We do a top five every 10 episodes. So we also

love lists. So if that's the case, you've come

to the right place. And we also have the idea

that we might be doing, since it's so time consuming

to do as many top 100s as we would like to do,

that we might be doing some smaller versions

too. So you might see some top 50s or some smaller

numbered lists so that we can pepper those out

a little bit more often. Yeah, definitely um

and talking about some stuff that we didn't have

brand Lincoln He made a comment a few episodes

ago, so a lot of 80s Lot of 80s series appear

to be left off out of the cold no love for Thundercats

Danger Mouse. No love at all. No, not one Jetson.

No Smurfs. What Smurf? What Smurf is that? I

doubt anyone will show up in the top 25 Johnny

question beyond here someplace multiple great

shows including the one in the early 2000 so

Yeah, we didn't really bring up Smurfs or Thundercats

or any or we did talk about Jetsons But for me,

I like Smurfs. I like Thundercats, but I didn't

like Those characters individually enough to

make them my top 100 I don't know if you guys

wanted to comment on that at all or um Well,

we did we did like I said in the in some of the

miscellaneous characters that we went over there

I would like to point out that we did get three

smurfs that did get votes, they just didn't get

nearly high enough to actually make the list.

And like we said, you know, 460 some characters

got votes. We only had 100 spots. So it's just

I think it's it's fun to kind of think about

what does and doesn't make the list. And we can

always find some more that didn't. But man, when

you if you actually start to do the process and

try to whittle this down to 100, depending on

what your criteria is and if you're trying to

go for unique or if you're trying to go for iconic

or how you're trying to frame it, it just becomes

such a hard task. I think it's something that

you should do. As a listener, try to start making

your list down, which I know some of them have

done, and you just kind of start to see what

kind of process you have to go through to try

to get down to 100. It's not enough slots. You

think it is, but it's not. I didn't want to also

credit Jedi Disaster. I talked about Gargoyles,

and he's the one that brought it up in the past

episode. He said, with all the 90s love for tiny

tunes or gargoyles. With all the 90s love no

no one from Tiny Toons or gargoyles if any show

should have had characters on the list It's a

night from 90s Disney afternoon slate It should

have been gargoyles that show was on another

level and those characters were super deep for

a kid show So again, he's he's not wrong. I do

agree with that But I think for me I just didn't

even cross my mind when I was making a list just

because I do like that show but it's been Such

a long time since I really even thought about

it. So Our girls was pretty dope. I think that

it was really dark too and It captured my attention

I know that and I wish that I had those on disk

so I could watch them now because I think I could

Appreciate them even more now as an adult and

I'm wondering if that's one that not only flew

under the radar But also is kind of subject of

something that people wouldn't know which you

mentioned Goliath But some people might not know

which character to kind of hone in on or which

ones would get the votes I don't know David Xanatos

is such a great villain like there's a whole

meme the Xanatos gambit, you know? He's a big

deal, big character, great character. Always

keeping you guessing. And Eliza, Mazza, the police

girl, I mean she's a great character too. Can

you imagine being her and seeing these freaking

gargoyles? She took it pretty well. She did.

So one of the characters I feel like we had the

most debate on was Robin, or not Robin Williams,

but Genie. So I wanted to take some of the comments

regarding that. It started with Jackie Russo

who says, I'm a huge Aladdin fan, but Genie is

way too high. His job, just Robin Williams doing

Robin Williams, which is great fun, but not an

amazing character. Top 50, top 25, sure. Top

five, no way. And then King of Kongs provides

a nice little retort. Genie was the perfect storm.

He was Robert Williams at his best with a character

that highlighted and enhanced his best qualities.

Robert Williams did voice performances before

and since none of which have come close to that

level. So I'd say it is... I would say it is

because Genie is a great character. They had

to design a character that would steal the show

and not feel out of place. Before Disney's Aladdin,

the Genie was never a major character outside

of a story device that granted wishes. It's the

best example of the positive influence Genie

can have on a character. So there's a lot of

back and forth on that on the website regarding

if Genie's too high, if he's not high enough.

Personally, for me, maybe it's my bias of loving

Aladdin. have Jeannie quite high on my list.

So you want to blame somebody, feel free to blame

me. Good stuff. Any other ones, Dan, that you

had that you wanted to go over? There's a lot

there, but I feel like some of the other ones

we touched upon or we commented on. I did want

to mention, though, that just because the last

episode's out does not mean that we'll stop interacting

with you if you make comments on the website

between Amanda DJ myself, Dan, even I think Mike

has commented on a few of them. We see the comments

when they pop up, so we'll be sure to keep interacting

with you. Even if you're listening to this, you

know, weeks or months after this is aired, we

don't mind going back and engaging you in whatever

questions or comments you have. So just because

there's no more podcasts coming out on the countdown

doesn't mean that you can't go back, listen,

comment, and get some responses from any of us

at UCAS Radio Network. So I just wanted to point

that out. I'm not as good as everybody else.

I'm going to check that. Only when you're under

attack. Yeah. And I can screw you. But also,

like Dan said, there's a bunch of fun lists that

will be coming in 2017. So definitely keep your

eyes peeled. There will be at least one top 100,

possibly some top 50s. And if you're fans of

any of the other shows, please do check out Cinema

Geeks for sure, because we'll have some lists

coming up real quickly, as we do every year with

our best of 2016 when it comes to films. And

then we'll have our 2017 look ahead, where we

do all of our box office prediction lists, where

we do our most anticipated lists for films of

2017. So if you're a film fan, we... We've got

lots of lists coming up. Oh God, I'm already

stressing out now. You just talked about that.

She's already stressing about making her list.

So there's plenty of lists. Just keep tuned by

checking out either the website or following

us on Facebook, because Mike will keep you up

to date with all that type of content that comes

out. We have been on a little hiatus, but that's

just the holidays. And then with this list coming

up, it's been hard to get our regular content

out. But we'll be back. We're ramping up for

our end of year, beginning of year extravaganza

shows. So no fear there. Sketch, one more time.

Why don't you give people the way that they can

get in touch with you or hear more about what

you do with your podcast, etc? Well, you can

always find me on Twitter at sketch in 1984 I

do the podcast tsunami faithful podcast at podcast

dot tsunami faithful comm and since we're on

the list kick we periodically Redo our top 10

to nami shows list between the hosts and we are

going to be doing those very soon, uh, actually

Recorded live. We'll see how that goes over twitch

Our twitch channels twitch .tv. Is it dot tv?

I think thanks twitch tv back slash to nami faithful

podcast i'm pretty sure that's it i'm terrible

at remembering these things So we'll be doing

that Really soon probably actually before this

Episode is out, but it will also be available

after the fact on podcast to know me faithful

calm and should be Should be fun because like

with all lists different people have different

criteria and a lot of the times it comes down

to nostalgia and a lot of times it comes down

to just trying to give what's really notable

lip service. So there's a lot of clashing ideas

and it makes for some interesting lists sometimes.

And how can people follow you individually on

Twitter? Oh, I did mention that. Oh, sorry, I

got lost in the other. Sorry, but people should

follow you because we definitely have appreciated

sketch you being here for the whole ride. It

wasn't expected at the beginning, but you've

you definitely have been a soldier as far as

dedicating a lot of time to the records on this.

So we'd like to thank you for that. I would also

like to thank DJ Valentine for being on the episodes

that he was in, TV is Mr. Neil, and Fridley Scent

for the episodes that they recorded with us,

as well as Amanda and Dan. Dan, a special thanks

because he's done all of the editing for all

of the records and adding in all that type of

stuff, that they're that type of work. So we

definitely appreciate him carrying that load

so that I just had to do the research and the

actual list making and compiling of that. And

then of course, the other people that we'd like

to thank are the other list submitters. So Steve

Megatron Phillips SCP 21 the GeekCast Radio founder

co -founder Submitted a list Doug Abel from talking

about my generation the simplistic reviews guys

including DJ Justin and Matt JD and Brendan from

in session film Rice and Kari from behind the

voice actors. I mentioned TVs. Mr. Neil David

Bruffi Kristen, who submits our gaming, board

gaming blogs over at Cast Radio Network. The

other crew of Talking in Circles, Dan's cohorts

on that show submitted, Greg and Chuck helped

submit a list. And then Tara, rising star. also

submit a list so thanks all of those people for

submitting your list of 50 or 100 characters

to help us make that because without your guys's

help we definitely would not be able to uh have

as as well rounded of a list as hopefully we

end up having so that's it for the top 100 animated

characters of all time if you did not get your

fill as far as the countdown goes please go back

into our back catalog you can find it right at

the top of the website if you go to geocastrader

.com you can click on top 100s and it'll take

you to all of our other ones so you can listen

to all the episodes of our top 100 television

shows, our top 100 animated movies, and our top

100 animated series. So there's plenty of more

content to listen to if you haven't listened

to those yet. Amanda, how can people follow you

on Twitter? Hard Candy Mandy, eyes no lies. And

final words on this list and your experience

so far? I'm glad that we knocked another one

out and I think that I was kind of blown away

by some of our choices out of left field a little

bit. And can we expect future Twitter wars between

you and DJ in the Ariel versus Mulan? I don't

know about, you know, Ariel versus Mulan. I want

to say it probably will come up. I think that's

going to be a standing thing, but I'm sure we'll

find some other stuff to to bicker about. Dan,

how do you think how can people follow you on

Twitter and how do you think this list overall

turned out? What kind of grade would you give

for us? Oh, man, that's well, you can follow

me at mover of old. I think it's a B for sure.

I mean, B plus I think the. The issues we talked

about. you know, and I'll see him at this point.

But I do feel like, you know, I think we got

to like the nitty gritty, I think we got that

right. So I think that and that's the benefit

of it all. So some nitpicks here and there. But

overall, I don't think there's anything super

glaring. So I definitely give us a BB plus. Nice.

And you can follow me at Optimus Solo. I think

the biggest thing that we haven't learned yet

is that we're always too overly ambitious when

we take these tasks on and when we kind of get

our ideas for what our top 100 are going to be.

We never try to segment it. I think that's the

thing that I would take away. Like we could have

easily, like you said, done top 100 Looney Tunes,

top 100 Disney, and then eventually... culminated

in the top 100 list and we would have been the

wiser for it probably but then people would have

had 300 hours of content to listen to as far

as animated characters go and I don't know who

wants to do that but definitely an interesting

process and I think this was one of the more

unique ones because characters are such a wide

open field in comparison to like animated series

and animated movies especially so it'll be interesting

to see where we go next and what kind of list

we do but it'll be fun either way so we hope

you guys join us in the future when we start

tackling the next list. Until then, that's it
