Regardless of how old you are today, going through the compilation of famous quotes coming from some famous cartoon characters is bound to stir up some good old memories.
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters – to make them personalities.
― Walt Disney
This quote, coming from Walt Disney―one of the most prominent figures in the world of animation, speaks volumes about the art that animation is. When the person who created Mickey Mouse is telling you what it takes to bring mere sketches to life in a manner that they become an integral part of our lives, there’s little else that you can do, but stop and listen.
Right from Bugs Bunny and Popeye to SpongeBob and Homer Simpson, there are quite a few cartoon characters out there who have become a part of our lives, forever etched in our memory. In a bid to rekindle those good old memories, we decided to compile their famous quotes and share them with you.
Most Famous Cartoon Quotes
Cartoons and humor often go hand-in-hand in most cases, such that imagining one without the other is difficult. Is it possible to imagine a carrot-chewing Bugs Bunny without his catchphrase Eh … What’s up, doc? It’s not! Similarly, it’s not possible to imagine the Golden age of American animation without Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Daffy, and Popeye. Would the American animation industry be the same without animated sitcoms like The Simpsons and Southpark? Very unlikely.
While some of these cartoon characters featured on television, others featured in some of the best animated movies ever produced. Some started off as comic strips, then featured in TV series, and were eventually adapted into movies. Whether you watched these funny characters on the TV or on the big screen, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the fact that they made you laugh. Simply put, you enjoyed watching them.
