Mickey Mouse is an American cartoon character co-created in 1928 by Walt

Disney and Ub Iwerks. The longtime icon and mascot of The Walt Disney Company, Mickey is
an anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves.
Inspired by such silent film personalities as Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, Mickey is
traditionally characterized as a sympathetic underdog who gets by on pluck and ingenuity in the
face of challenges bigger than himself.[2] The character's depiction as a small mouse is
personified through his diminutive stature and falsetto voice, the latter of which was originally
provided by Disney. Mickey is one of the world's most recognizable and universally acclaimed
fictional characters of all time

Donald Fauntleroy Duck is a cartoon character created by The Walt Disney

Company. Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He
typically wears a sailor shirt and cap with a bow tie. Donald is known for his semi-intelligible
speech and his mischievous, temperamental, and pompous personality. Along with his
friend Mickey Mouse, Donald was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon
characters of all time in 2002,[6] and has earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has
appeared in more films than any other Disney character,[7] and is the most published comic book
character in the world outside of the superhero genre.[8]

Donald Duck appeared in comedic roles in animated cartoons. Donald's first theatrical
appearance was in The Wise Little Hen (1934), but it was his second appearance in Orphan's
Benefit that same year that introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse.

Throughout the next two decades, Donald appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of
which were recognized at the Academy Awards. In the 1930s, he typically appeared as part of a
comic trio with Mickey and Goofy and was given his own film series starting with Don
Donald (1937).

Scoobert "Scooby" Doo is the eponymous character and protagonist of the animated
television franchise, created in 1969 by the American animation company Hanna-Barbera.[1] He is
a male Great Dane and lifelong companion of amateur detective Shaggy Rogers, with whom he
shares many personality traits. He features a mix of both canine and human behaviors
(reminiscent of other talking animals in Hanna-Barbera's series), and is treated by his friends
more or less as an equal. Scooby often speaks in a rhotacized way, substituting the first letters of
many words with the letter 'r'. His catchphrase is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

The Powerpuff Girls is an American superhero animated television

series created by animator Craig McCracken and produced by Hanna-Barbera (later Cartoon
Network Studios) for Cartoon Network and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television
Distribution. The show centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged
girls with superpowers. The girls all live in the fictional city of Townsville with their father and
creator, a scientist named Professor Utonium, and are frequently called upon by the city's mayor
to help fight nearby criminals and other enemies using their powers.

Tom and Jerry is an American animated media franchise and series of comedy short
films created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Best known for its 161 theatrical
short films by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the series centers on the rivalry between the titular
characters of a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Many shorts also feature
several recurring characters.
In its original run, Hanna and Barbera produced 114 Tom and Jerry shorts for MGM from 1940 to
1958.[1] During this time, they won seven Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film, tying
for first place with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies with the most awards in the category. After
the MGM cartoon studio closed in 1957, MGM revived the series with Gene Deitch directing an
additional 13 Tom and Jerry shorts for Rembrandt Films from 1961 to 1962. Tom and Jerry then
became the highest-grossing animated short film series of that time, overtaking Looney
Tunes. Chuck Jones then produced another 34 shorts with Sib Tower 12 Productions between
1963 and 1967. Five more shorts have been produced since 2001, making a total of 166 shorts.
