The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing.

I can't think of anything either.

Okay, one further set of clues:

4) Much like the American version of Santa Claus, this character is corpulent, but will certainly move himself to do what needs to be done.

5) Although this character is scripted, at one point, someone jabs a microphone in his face, and he's at a loss for words.

6) There's a reason this character shakes hands with the title character: he is an officer and a gentleman, emphasis on officer.

Looks like this may be the first unguessed character of 2014.

Ugh, perish the thought. An unguessed character has two ugly implications: that I give inferior clues, or that we aficionados cannot identify feature film characters. Give it a moment; this will dawn upon someone. I hope.

I'm stumped for now. I may kick myself later!

I'm stumped too. Hopefully I can think of something later.

OUB, I take back what I said yesterday. And I just now found the answer. It's Captain B. McCrea, from "WALL-E."

Well, thank you, EmeraldIsle. I had a third round of clues ready to go, but this correct answer makes that unnecessary.
Captain B. McCrea appears only in the feature film WALL-E so far. There was a short animation called BURN-E also by Pixar, but the good captain does not appear in it. The climactic scene has the good captain get out of his hoverchair and grapple with the Axiom's steering wheel, which doubles as the villainous Auto. The captain also shook hands with WALL-E, if one can call that robot's manipulators "hands." In fact, this action was a plot point, in that it triggered the captain's curiosity about earth.

After spending his entire life aboard the Axiom and its inherent microgravity, Captain McCrea has become corpulent to the point of bloated, but he still has enough pep in him to take on Auto. When the Axiom's computer asks the captain for voice print verification, all Captain McCrea can do is deliver a mindless, "Uuhh ..."; it's close enough. And of course, he's the Captain of the Axiom, its commanding officer. His handshake with WALL-E leaves flecks of dirt on his hand, which ultimately triggers the captain's wiki-walk about Earth.

Collect another rightful +1 for that answer, EI, and my thanks for not making me seem like a poindexter. Now show me how to give proper clues.

You're welcome, OUB. And I'll gladly do that with these clues:

1. I'm always at the mercy of a foolish, gullible cat.

2. I pretend to know how to cure colds, hiccups, and even baldness.

3. In the 90's, my "ethnic" voice was changed.

This would be Buzzy the Crow.
1. The cat would be Katnip.
2. Pretty self-explanatory. Buzzy does these things in order to spare his life.
3. Buzzy has a stereotypical Eddie Rochester voice. I'd assume that it was either redubbed to sound less offensive or a new adaption was created around the 90s and the voice was changed for the same reasons.

Glowworm, you're absolutely right for all those reasons. Great job, so you get another turn.

Thanks, better cash in that turn, I have to go to a cousin's wedding in Michigan--we're setting out on Wednesday by car as my dad hates flying.

1. I fall in love with a man and have two children with him.
2. Unfortunately, I lose him too soon.
3. It's hard work bringing up my children because they are half human--and half animal like their father.

Knowing my mythology, I'd say the father and kids are either centaurs or satyrs. But I can't picture a mother who fits the clues.

The father and children are not centaurs or satyrs.

I see. It's possible someone else knows.

The character that comes to mind is Grandma from Red Hot Riding Hood. In the original (and lost) ending, she married the wolf in a shotgun wedding. The next scene shows their kids, half human and half wolf.

You're getting closer on the half human--half wolf part--but no, not Grandma.

4. The movie I am in is what you would call an "Anime."
5. My children appear human, but they can shapeshift into their animal forms.
6. The studio responsible for my film, was also the same one behind a film involving a rogue computer program hacking into a virtual world, and eventually into the real one.

Didn't take long to get this one right. It's Hana, from "Wolf Children."

1. She falls for a Wolfman.

2. He dies tragically when his body is removed from a canal.

3. She has trouble raising her children by hsrself, since they're part human,a nd part wolf, just like their dad.

4.. The film is an anime released two years ago.

5. Self-explanatory.

6. Need an explanation here.

Yes it's Hana from "Wolf Children" My boyfriend and I watched it together two weeks ago--it's a very quiet, charming movie.
As for that last clue, I was half right and half wrong with it. Studio Chizu is behind "Wolf Children" , but not the Summer Wars(Which is the film about the rogue computer program)--that was Madhouse. However, the director behind these films is the same one--Mamoru Hosoda. So I apologize for messing up slightly on that last clue. Anyhow, I'm glad you got it, because I need to go away soon and it would have been awkward if it wasn't solved before I came back.

Thanks, Glowworm. Enjoy the wedding. In the meantime, here's one my fellow posters should get with no trouble:

1. Unlike another of my kind, I don't need a hat to come to life.

2. But like him, I put my own life on the line to save a friend.

3. My movie won a Golden Globe last night.
