I am joining in again with Kate this week for another Listography. We are going back to our youth again this week recalling our top five cartoon characters.
1. Number one for me would have to be Danger Mouse. He’s the greatest secret agent in the world don’t you know! Along with his lovingly daft hampster sidekick Penfold, he is given his missions from his commander in chief, Colonel K, a walrus, and will invariably save the world.

He’s the best.
He’s the greatest.
He’s the greatest secret agent in the world!
He’s the ace, he’s amazing.
He’s the strongest, he’s the quickest, he’s the best!
2. Number two for me would be the awesome, and strangely attractive, Thundercats! Each week the Thundercats would fight to protect their kingdom, Thundera, from the evil sorcerer Mumm-ra and his lizard army. I had a minor crush on Panthro. I can’t explain it. He is second from the left.

THUNDERCATS HO!
3. In at three for me I would have to choose Will-o-the-wisp. I was both enthralled and terrified by this at the same time. Evil Edna was SCARY people!

4. My fourth choice would be He-man, the alter ego of the rather dashing Prince Adam. I also loved She-ra and found their enemy, Skeletor, the most amusing of the lot.

5. And closing out my top five, the truly unbeatable Looney Tunes. This requires no explanation from me. How could you not love this lot?

So….that’s all folks!
Now head on over to the lovely Kate’s and check out the rest. You will be amazed at how many you had forgotten!

By the power of grayskull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the power!!!!! excellent
LOL, brilliant. Clearly another true fan 🙂
Excellent list! Dangermouse topped my list too (totally didn’t just sing that theme tune when reading the words to it then. (cough, ahem.)
I vaguely remember Willo-the-wisp (I was very young!) all I can remember is the scary telly thing and some creepy looking trees! 🙂
It was really quite frightening! In a good way?
Oh my gosh I had totally forgotten Willo-the-Wisp! And Dangermouse, as if I forgot that one. Fab list!
Thank you! It really brings you back doesn’t it!
I cannot believe I forgot Loony Toons!! How? Great list x
Thanks Hannah x
I debated Willo-the-whisp too. Scared the bejeebies out of me & my brother. And we named our Grandad’s second wife Evil Edna
LOL! She must have been one scary lady!
You didn’t fancy Lion-O?? Madness! I always wanted to be Cheetara. You are clearly of an age with me cos these are all ones I would pick 😉
No it was always Panthro for me. And yes, we ARE old 🙁
Great choices. I’d forgotten about He-Man, I had all the toy figures as well. Was saying to Wendy O yesterday that Dogtanian was one of my faves and then I remembered Dungeons and Dragons this morning – that was amazing! Ps I had a crush on Cheetara.
OHHHHH COMPLETELY forgot Dungeons and Dragons, Loved that! I think all boys had a crush on Cheetara 😉
Watched He-Man and She-Ra a lot… Only watched Thundercats when I was forced to! 🙂
You weren’t feeling the Thundercat love?
I have Thundecats on mine too! Can’t belive I forgot about He Man, how could I forget such a man!
He is a bit of a dish!
I had Thundercats and He-Man/She-Ra on my list, too. My crush was on Wolverine from the X-men cartoon. Which still applies to the current movie. And not to the actor, strangely enough.
LOL! Thats brilliant.
Danger Mouse was the top of my list too, I loved it! I had forgotten about Wil-o-the-wisp and Evil Edna though x
It’s amazing how many you had forgotten when you read everyone else’s isn’t it!
