The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing.

I was thinking more along the lines of Long John Silver from the Pagemaster--he's voiced by Jim Cummings. Also, I guess the reason I don't like Aunt Sarah is because, I am an animal lover, and the things she does to that poor dog are downright rotten.

Apparently the "Aunt Sarah" character was originally going to be the stereotypical overbearing mother-in-law, with an antipathy to Jim Dear. In getting away from that cliché they actually softened the character, making her less abrasive! She just doesn't trust dogs - she thinks she is doing the best thing for the baby, after all. She only appears cruel because we know Lady is innocent, and feel her hurt. She certainly isn't Lady Tremaine!

To be frank, I don't think I've ever seen the entire movie--but I had a book with the story in it--and listened to one of those books that came with a cassette tape where you turned the page after the tone. Ironically enough, Aunt Sarah does look a bit like Lady Tremaine though.

Ooh, FluidGirl came close with Horror from The Pagemaster, voiced by the legendary Frank Welker. I don't think we've invented enough vowels to cover what Frank Welker can do. The thing is, Horror is actually one of the good guys, misunderstood perhaps but definitely not antagonistic.

Also from The Pagemaster, which does indeed blend live action with animation, Glowworm tries the pirate Long John Silver, a genuine pirate and an antagonist in the story. Even closer, but still not quite, since Silver is a pirate through-and-through, and has no real cred to lose, unless he somehow decides to go straight. Nevertheless, these are some splendid posits, and I bow in respect to your astute thinking. Time to finish off this Scrappy.

4) The story in which this character appears is based on actual history, though with plenty of Hollywood's artistic license in the telling. Most egregious would be this character himself, who actually works to sabotage the hero and his teammates; there was no such saboteur in Real Life.

5) One of this character's first scenes shows him scheming and cheating to get ahead, proving himself to be one dirty dog competitor.

6) And the voice actor has been identified: it's Jim Cummings, sounding rather comfortable as a large, sinister ham.

Steele from "Balto" then? Especially with the words "dirty dog" in clue 5.

Splendid, FluidGirl, this is very much Steele from the Amblimation production Balto. The story is based around the Iditarod sled dog run, which started as a relay from Willow, Alaska near Anchorage to Nome, Alaska on the western shore, done to ferry medicine to a stricken town. The film opens with a grandmother and granddaughter ambling through Central Park, segues to the aninated story, then returns to Central Park for the closing tribute. Steele is obviously a self-centered glory hound, and he is completely discredited at the end. Of course, the actual medicine run went much differently, but Hollywood insists on "editing" history.

So, take another +1, FG, and launch your next Mystery Character.

I'm thinking this one won't take more than three clues. At least I hope. I don't know if I could compile more.

1. I'm a princess, but you'd never know it because of my actual title

2. I have several cute little animal friends, who double as hair accessories

3. I'm a blonde heroine, and my rival is an evil brunette.

Another toy franchise that spawned some cartoons that acted as commercials: Lady Lovely Locks, a classic Hollywood blonde whose best friend is a redhead, and whose principal antagonist is Lady Raven Waves, a brunette. Oh my, aren't there so very many Unfortunate Implications in that one.

Correct, OUB, indeed it is Lady Lovely Locks. But the antagonist is actually named *Duchess* Ravenwaves. There was another brunette in the cartoon as well, who was LLL's other best friend, but that's beside the point. What can I say about some of my character choices? I'm a girl who grew up in the 80's.

An Eighties girl, good for you. Me, I'm stuck being a derelict old grunk from the Sixties. Oh, well, time to dig in the archives again...

1) This character has appeared only once to date in an animated feature film. He survives, intact, and surprisingly keeps his job.

2) By profession, this character should be a "good guy," but he's not; he's a bad guy. Not quite candy-from-a-baby bad, but awfully close.

3) The principal antagonist of this completely animated film is this character's superior. In fact, yet another character is closer to the Big Bad Boss than this character, making our Mystery Character number 3 in the wicked pecking order. No wonder he gets the dirty jobs...

The term "pecking order" indicates a bird, but I can't put my finger on it.

I have no idea who this character is. And I wouldn't call you an old grunk, OUB. It just means you've known more characters in your lifetime than I have, that's all. I was just explaining why I happen to choose a lot of "30 minute commercial" characters that are a bit on the girly side (I also only have one sibling, who is female, and neither of us were much into Transformers and stuff like that, but I digress).

I'll be waiting for the next set of clues.

As will I, as these are still a bit vague.

No, no, this isn't a stumper-class character. I'm keeping that one in reserve. So let's ice this puppy...

4) Walt Disney Pictures produced this feature film, which is entirely animated. The character, however, is in the Public Domain, and has been for many, many years. Though, in his Disney form, he's very different from his old self.

5) This character is a law enforcement officer, among the most senior lawmen, and surely the highest ranking without going into the bluebloods.

6) This character gets sent to prison ... but as a guard, not as an inmate.

No, nothing is clicking here--I'll probably be banging my head against a wall later on.

The Sherriff of Nottingham from "Robin Hood," maybe? That's the only one that's coming to my mind right now.

Much more than maybe, FluidGirl. This is indubitably the Sheriff of Nottingham from Disney's Robin Hood. Despite all the swords and arrows and flames, nobody died. As sheriff, he's supposed to be decent and honorable, but taxing Skippy's birthday present is pure villainy. The sheriff seems to be the #3 antagonist in the story; Sir Hiss is the right-hand snake to the supreme baddie, Prince John. From way back in the crusade days, everyone in the Robin Hood mythos is in the Public Domain at this point, though Disney making him an anthro'ic wolf is a new twist. At the end, the sheriff is sent to the prison to oversee Prince John and Sir Hiss on the rock pile. I have no idea how he kept his job despite the complete management turnover. Or maybe I do: would you trust Nutsy as your sheriff?

Well, good on you, FG. That'll add another +1 to the scoreboard. And you get to play with the toys some more.

Well, for this next one, I think it's time I put my toys away, and do something different. But it's an easy one. Don't think it'll take more than three clues.

1. I'm king of the jungle, though I'm a klutz

2. I can never remember my wife's name

3. 30 years after my show premiered, I was turned into a live action movie

Ah, a no-brainer, since I posted clues about his lady a few pages back. It's George Of The Jungle.
