Oh the 90s, a time of nostalgia for many adults now. Do you remember waking up on Saturday mornings and spending numerous hours having your fill of cartoons upon cartoons? Back in the 90s, times were much simpler and people enjoyed simpler. People enjoyed the likes of Doug, Animaniacs, Dexter’s Laboratory and Talespin. There are a few classics that are still being aired up to this day; Powerpuff girls for example.
There was also a plethora of cartoons that broke the mold and were better suited for adults like Family Guy for instance and South Park. These cartoons are still being aired to this day with new episodes too. They are loved and viewed by thousands of loyal fans.
Have you ever wondered which 90s cartoon character you would be? I mean, come one, you must have identified somewhat with cartoon characters over the years of watching as a kid. Are you a drama queen like Helga Pataki or a cute, adorable and lovable thing like Bubbles?
Well, here’s a fun quiz to find out which 90s cartoon character you are.
How old are you?
Have you ever wondered why cartoon characters don’t age and how they would look if they did? I guess this will be left to our imaginations owing to the fact that these characters hardly ever age and if they eventually do it’s usually from toddler stage to tween or teen. One example is of Tommy pickles and his clan.
What gender are you?
In one study it was found that there were male, female and androgynous cartoon characters present in films. This same study also found that male characters were more prominent and got more air time than female characters. The study concluded that female and male characters are treated stereotypically.
How would you describe yourself?
Who determines a character’s personality? Is it solely the writer? Does the writer factor in age of audience and year? Does the creator want to create a character that is relatable, can teach life lessons, a good role model? You have probably noticed hundreds of cartoon characters with different personalities. It’s like they are their own people. Take Shaggy from Scooby Doo for instance, according to Curtis Silver, he is a spineless pothead who is often times paranoid. Ya think?
What is your favorite color?
Have you ever wondered why many cartoon characters are yellow? Well, according to some experts, it’s not just the fact that yellow is a pretty color. For some creators, yellow is a color that stands out from their cartoon backdrop, it’s an attention grabbing color and it represents cheerfulness and playfulness.
You’re home alone, you see someone trying to break in. What do you do?
There are many cartoon characters that can hold down the fort alone. Some pretty badass characters have been developed overtime. Take Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for example. They are not afraid of anything and defense is their number one priority. While there are others who don’t look bad but will knock you into next year like Blossom from the powerpuff girls.
Who would you consider to be your enemy? (Not saying that you have one)
There are countless villains in cartoons that give viewers the “heebie jeebies.” Most of these villains are antagonists in our favorite cartoons. “Him,” for example in the powerpuff girls is creepy beyond reason. Just his voice could make your hairs stand on edge!
If you had one wish, what would it be?
What’s your greatest wish? To go on a magic carpet ride like Aladdin? Be obnoxiously witty like Cartman or forever young and smart like Stewie Griffin? Whatever the case may be, your wish probably won’t become a reality so until then, live vicariously through those buggers!
Do you have a crush?
Remember Helga Pataki practically stalking and drooling over Arnold? Or Whenever Stan would sing this song whenever he saw Wendy, “There’s the girl that I like, now more than ever she gives me butterflies….” Love has forever been a theme in many cartoons, channeling our emotions and keeping us hooked.
You’re walking home at night, you see an unusual animal crying for help. What do you do?
Just like human beings, cartoon characters have different personalities. What would Cinderella do if she saw an animal in need? She would probably help it. However, what would Ursula do? We all know that answer. The point is, all cartoon characters have their individualism and that’s what make them unique.
What color hair would you like to have?
There are some pretty wacky hair colors out there, but that’s what makes us who we are. The color of people’s hair is probably their most identifiable trait. Thus, hair color is often used to distinguish car-toon characters for various reasons. Also, some Japanese animations use a wide variety of different hair colors, some can’t even be explained. But that’s what makes them unique.
What texture hair do you find most appealing?
Straight, stringy, sharp, curly, spongy, the list can go on and on. There are some pretty awesome cartoon characters out there that rock their locks quite well. There is a certain admiration when it comes to hair in the world of animation, each character is an individual that has their own image. Here are some characters that rocked the heck out of their hair. Merida from Brave, Jessica Rabbit from Who framed Roger Rabbit and Ariel’s fiery red hair from The Little Mermaid.
Your biggest fear is…
Here is a fun fact: Did you know that Walt Disney was afraid of mice? But still he invented Mickey Mouse. Weird right? Have you ever noticed that some cartoon characters sometimes seem fearless when faced with big, creepy, terrifying monsters but scream and run when they see a bug? Well that’s the case with the powerpuff girls. It’s kinda funny if you think about it.
Do you find glasses sexy?
Guess what? There are some cartoon characters who have vision problems. However, they rock those glasses and rock them good. One prime example is Velma from Scooby Doo, her style is more on the nerdy side though. What about Chuckie Finster? His purple frames are a striking contrast to his vibrant orange hair, but hey, it works!
How do you prefer to dress?
Whether it’s to show off their voluptuous curves like Jessica Rabbit or sexy legs like Sailor Moon, some cartoon characters really know how to make a fashion statement. And let’s face it, there are people who look to them because they are fashion forward.
How would you describe your personality?
Whether you’re as irritable as Squidward, as bashful as Chuckie or even as friendly as Cinderella, your personality makes you who you are which is the same for cartoon characters. Some of them we love to love and others we love to hate.
Which month is your favorite?
Do you like a specific month? Which one? Why? Is it November like Mickey Mouse because he celebrates his birthday then? Or is it February like Homer and Marge because they celebrate their wedding anniversary then? Most of us have a favorite month for some reason or another, well guess what? Cartoon characters do too.
Who do you live with?
We are invited into the lives of many characters. They welcome us with open arms to get a glimpse of their day to day. Some live on their own like the Tasmanian devil? Or with a big family like Bart Simpson? Whatever the case may be, they all have a place to call home.
Which catchphrase are you most likely to use?
Cartoon characters are always off on some kind of adventure and they always have kool stuff to say. Some phrases they repeat regularly. Some examples are: “W-what’s up doc?” – Bugs Bunny, “To infinity and beyond!” – Buzz Lightyear and “You Bastards” – Kyle from South Park. What are some catch phrases that you know?
What’s your favorite animal?
Are you aware that many cartoon character that we have come to adore are actually animals? Kids especially loves these walking talking animals both in real life and the cartoon experience. Sylvester the cat, Scooby Doo the dog and Tweety the bird are just a small few.
You’re out on a jog, you see your crush, what do you do?
Love stories will always have an audience. Many viewers live vicariously through these characters. Blushing when they blush and falling in love with them. We can all remember Cinderella and her sad yet utterly wonderful fairytale.
What’s your favorite food?
Garfield loves lasagna, Popeye loves spinach and Samurai Jack loves white sauce pasta. These cartoon character have some very active taste buds. And while watching them, wrapped up in their world, we too inadvertently grab something to munch on, whether it be popcorn or chips….it doesn’t matter as long as we are watching cartoons.

What’s your workout routine?
You would be a liar if you said that you have never had a crush on a cartoon character. Especially those that have a great physique. Since the beginning of time, cartoon characters have had mouthwatering bodies that we sometimes grudge them for. For instance Tarzan, Hercules and Storm. Ooh laalaa!
Do you sometimes feel like you don’t belong?
Yes, their lives seem so perfect sometimes it’s hard to believe that there are misfits in the cartoon world, but there are. Just as how they have a favorite food or a favorite pet, some cartoon characters are social misfits and some viewers see them and are able to relate which makes that a great thing. These things make us aware that nothing is perfect.
What type of accent would you like to have?
Cartoon characters have been breaking barriers for years with their stunning accents that viewers have come to love and even admire. It adds a level of uniqueness when we see a character with a strange or profound accent. Here are some of the most memorable: Shrek and the Siamese cats.
