Although he’s a peace-loving sailor, he’ll knock the living daylights out of anyone who threatens him or his girlfriend, Olive. But he can’t do it without his spinach, which causes his muscles to bulge.

Scooby-Doo wasn’t always the brightest, but he still managed to help his human friends, Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne stop bad guys and would-be-supernatural creatures from getting away with crimes.

Mighty Mouse was a lot like Superman in that he wore a cape, had the power to fly and would always save the day in the nick of time. He also had a secret identity, too and a girlfriend who was clueless about his true identity.

Cheetara was a member of the Thundercats, an '80s cartoon of the same name. Although she walked like a human, she had claws and spots like a cheetah and could run about 120 miles per hour, but only for a short while.

Jem was just a stage name. The singer was actually a blonde woman named Jerrica Benton. But when she had to perform on stage, she called on Synergy, a holographic computer, to turn her into the wild, pink-haired Jem.

The animated cartoon “Tom and Jerry” brought a literal meaning to the term “cat and mouse,” as Tom the Cat spent years looking for ways to capture Jerry the Mouse, but he always failed.

In the cartoon series, “The Jetsons,” George lived in Orbit City with his wife, two kids, a robot maid named Rosie, and a dog. He also rode around in a saucer-like car whenever he went to work.

The Road Runner was part of “The Looney Tunes” cartoon and was always hunted down by Wile E. Coyote, who was, in fact, a coyote. But the Road Runner was too fast for him and always foiled his plans.

He was big and orange and loved lasagna. His human owner was named John and he had a dog named Otis who adored him, but Garfield always seemed annoyed by him. This beloved cat was also lazy and seemed to show very little emotion.

They were the nephews of Donald Duck but also called Scrooge their uncle, too. And they lived with the money loving tycoon at his mansion and got into all sorts of trouble while seeking adventure.

Tweety was one of Granny’s birds and was always afraid that Sylvester the cat was going to capture him and turn him into a snack. But despite a few close calls, Tweety always managed to evade him.

Alf was short for alien lifeform, but the cartoon showed us what his life was like on his home planet Melmac before it blew up. The live-action version focused more on his misadventures with the human family he befriended when he got to Earth.

Prince Adam became He-Man after the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull gave him the Sword of Power. He used the sword to become He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. His friends Orko and Man-At-Arms were the only ones who knew his secret.

Fred was the patriarch and main character of the animated cartoon “The Flintstones.” He had a wife and daughter and his best friend was Barney. He also worked at Slate Rock and Gravel Company and used a Brontosaurus as a crane.

Papa Smurf was considered the father of a group of blue-skinned creatures known as “The Smurfs.” And he was responsible for keeping his people safe from the villainous sorcerer Gargamel, who wanted to turn the Smurfs into lunch.

They came in different colors and each had a symbol on their chest like a sunshine, hearts or lollipops. And whenever someone was hurt and needed healing, the Care Bears would use their Care Bear stare, a beam of magical energy emanating from their chest, to help them. They also used the stare to repel evil.

Chip along with his brother Dale opened up The Rescue Rangers, a detective agency that allowed them to fight the good fight. But admittedly, Chip was the brains of the entire operation and Dale was more of the comic relief.

Mumm-ra the Ever Living was the main antagonist on “Thundercats.” Although his regular form was mummy-like, he had the ability to transform into a formidable foe three times his size whenever he raised his arms and called on the ancient spirits of evil.

Synergy was the holographic computer seen on “Jem.” Synergy was capable of creating life-like holograms like when she turned Jerrica Benton into Jem. She was also a friend and mentor to Jerrica and her friends.

Originally created in 1930, Betty Boop is one of the most memorable cartoon characters of all time. While her star waned in the decades since her heyday, this century she's enjoyed a career resurgence because some of her earliest appearances are no longer under copyright.

The 1963 movie "The Pink Panther" tells the story of the theft of a valuable gem of the same name. The movie starts with an animated title sequence featuring a cartoon panther, and this became so popular that the character quickly became the star of his own TV show.

Hanna Barbera's business model during the company's height was to take any vaguely profitable idea (such as Scooby-Doo) and create endless reworkings of the same formula. Hence, a crime-fighting group of teens with an animal mascot named Jabberjaw was also made.

An episode of "The Quick Draw McGraw Show," features an orange mountain lion named Snaggletooth. This character was later refined into the pink cougar Snagglepuss.

Called "Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee" in its native Japan, "Samurai Pizza Cats" was localized into English by Saban, the same company that gave the world the Power Rangers.

In his animation debut, Casper the Friendly Ghost got so lonely that he laid down on a railroad track— before a pair of impoverished children find him and cheer him up. Cartoons were dark back in the day.

Believe it or not, George Lucas himself served as executive producer when Lucasfilm set out to make a cartoon series based on the Ewoks from "Return of the Jedi."

Seriously, why does Officer Dibble give Top Cat and his friends so much trouble? Are there no bigger problems in the neighborhood than a few stray cats?

The original "My Little Pony" was envisioned as an animated vehicle to sell toys to children, in much the same vein as the Transformers and basically every cartoon from the '80s. At least the ponies came in more varied colors.

"TailSpin" featured classic characters from Disney's "The Jungle Book," but with a pulp adventure twist. Nobody knows how Baloo ended up owning an air cargo freight business, and nobody ever needs to know.

Starting first as a comic strip before branching into animation, "Peanuts" is one of the best loved cartoons of all time. After fifty years of work, "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz arranged to finally retire in 2000, but died mere hours before the final comic strip hit news stands.
