My favourite is still Shrek. I think it started the animation trend and it is still one of the cutest, funniest stories around. Donkey is still my favourite animated character. I think I need a hug!
Cartoons are my favourite type of television entertainment, but I do not go for any of these new cartoons that they make today. I love animation from the Golden Era - Looney Tunes, Classic Disney, etc. My all time favourite character is Fred Flintstone. He has been my favourite ever since I was a young child, and has stuck with me ever since. I have no idea what it is about him or that show that makes me love it so much, but it holds a special place in my heart.
Simba from the Lion King will always be one of my favourite animated characters. I still cry whenever I hear the opening African song and love watching it over and over. It's one of the classic animated movies ever made. Long live the King! Mandy E.
As far as kids' movies go, currently maybe Merida in Brave. In cartoons for adults my current favourite show is Archer. My favourite character in that is Pam because she's tough as nails and a little bit mad.
Daffy Duck. I adore him. So funny. They just don't make cartoons like that anymore. From 'modern' times I would say Scrat from Ice Age. When a character can be that funny when they don't actually say a word...brilliant.
