Top Ten Most Famous Cartoon Characters

The Top Ten
1 Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. The first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse was the iconic "Steamboat Willie" released in the year 1928.

I love Mickey Mouse but a lot of people in school think he's lame and they like minions instead. I hate minions and despicable me because that movie has no heart and is stupid and bad for little kids. I think the classic Mickey Mouse is actually really cute and the Mickey cartoons on Disney Channel are so funny. "it all started by a mouse"

Whatever time or age it is, Mickey Mouse will always be known as the Cartoon's mascot.

The face of Disney, Mickey Mouse is extremely recognizable around the globe.

You have no soul if you hate Mickey Mouse or any of the characters on this list

2 Bugs Bunny Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character, created by the staff of Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros.) He is one of (if not) the most famous cartoon characters, and he is in the show Looney Tunes. His famous quote is "What's up doc?". He is a gray colored bunny with big teeth and big feet. His favorite food is carrots.

He should be number one he was the Golden Age of cartoons for about 40 years

Bugs Bunny is and always will be the mascot of cartoons in my eyes

The looney toons franchise is one of the biggest worldwide
