Cartoon Character Cameos

[TeamFX]

I was intrigued to find this interesting phenom just recently. It was brought up some time ago at another board, so I'll just relay the discussion topic here. How many of you out there can point out an occassion where a cartoon character from one series made a one-off cameo appearance in another? And no, this does not include crossovers. Here's the example that came to mind...

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/2975/pdvd000lt9.th.jpg (http://img522.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pdvd000lt9.jpg)http://img522.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)

Although the supporting player on the right-hand side is not who you think it is, they sure came pretty darn close. Can you name some other examples of incidental characters who either went on to become stars in their own right, or existing stars who've made unannounced cameos on other shows (unintentionally, I presume)?

[hobbyfan]

The first thing that comes to mind is Butt-Head appearing solo on the premiere of "The Head" (1994). That aside, I can't think of anything off the top in the H-B archives.

[Eric B]

Never even noticed who he looked like.

How about the modern "old western" version of Fred Flintstone getting blasted by Ricochet Rabbit's trick bullet coming down through the chimney, which was a frequently used clip in a promotional a while back? Just look at his mouth move and the teeth. It's obviously reused animation.

Black Widow from Space Ghost appears as a mysteriously 'living' wax figure on Scooby Doo. (they don't even notice who/what is handing them the food).

Zorak was reused on Jabberjaw (renamed "Mantor", which you would have thought would have been his original name).

[Silverstar]

Black Manta was a guest villain on a Super Friends episode (pre-Challenge) in a green wetsuit and renamed simply 'Manta'.

In one episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo titled "The Story Stick", during the musical number, the monster-of-the-week, the Totem Monster, chases the kids into a cave but is himself chased out by a growling, feral version of Yogi Bear!

And an uncharacteristically canine-acting Huckleberry Hound makes a surprise cameo in an episode of [adult swim]'s The Brak Show.

[Blackstar]

There was an episode of Filmation's Ghostbusters (1986) syndicated animated series (not to be confused with DiC's The Real Ghostbusters, which was airing on ABC around the same time) which guest starred a pair of husband and wife vampires, Victor and Vampra, IIRC, Victor shared the exact same physical design as Drac from Filmation's The Groovie Ghoulies, just with a different name and voice. Filmation even re-used the same animation of Drac running across the room while flapping his arms to turn into a bat, which happens only after he falls onto the floor.

In one episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo titled "The Story Stick", during the musical number, the monster-of-the-week, the Totem Monster, chases the kids into a cave but is himself chased out by a growling, feral version of Yogi Bear! I was going to mention that, and that the ranger was Smith, but I wasn't sure it counted for some reason.

Strangely enough Yogi made another brief cameo in that episode- just look at the first few seconds if anyone's recorded it.

[George3000]

Yogi (along with Boo-Boo) also appeared on an episode of The Flintstones, stealing a picnic basket. (I forgot which episode was that in.)

And speaking of The Flintstones, I don't know if this counts, but statues of Fred and Barney were featured in a Top Cat episode (that episode escapes me for the moment as well... (can anyone help me here? Thanks!;) ))

[carlaspirit]

Fred and Barney showed up in the background of "Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats" apparently living in an upscale neighborhood.

[Anthonynotes]

Yogi (along with Boo-Boo) also appeared on an episode of The Flintstones, stealing a picnic basket. (I forgot which episode was that in.)

It was the episode where the Rubbles first get Hoppy, with the families going on a picnic to a park (and a picnic basket getting stolen in secret by Yogi, dressed in normal and not "prehistoric" garb).

One other episode (and the TV-movie "Hollyrock-a-bye Baby") mention "The Yogi Cave Bear Show"...

-B.

[TeamFX]

Zorak was reused on Jabberjaw (renamed "Mantor", which you would have thought would have been his original name).

Now that you mentioned it, I noticed a brood of alien ants from another Super Friends episode that favored Zorak a little bit also.

[Rick Jones]

Looking at this thread as often as I do has my mind playing tricks on me

I could have sworn I saw some of the cave-people from Valley of The Dinosaurs on an episode of Super Friends yesterday

[Still HowardFein]

It was the episode where the Rubbles first get Hoppy, with the families going on a picnic to a park (and a picnic basket getting stolen in secret by Yogi, dressed in normal and not "prehistoric" garb). -B.

Sorry, that's incorrect. Yogi and Boo-Boo cameo'd in Swedish Visitors, the Season 3 finale famous for "He is Olle, you are Sven". It was just the three Flintstones camping out without the Rubbles. You're referring to Hop Happy, the Season 5 premiere and the first episode in which Gerry Johnson voices Betty.

Yogi and Boo-Boo also cameo in the Snagglepuss episode Remember the Daze. Fitting, as it takes place in a TV studio.

Yogi turning up at the end of the Augie Doggie episode Pop's Nature Pup.

There weren't too many other H-B cameos outside of the various Yogi & Company reunion shows- especially TREASURE HUNT, which featured walk-ons by Hokey Wolf, Mr. Jinks, Squiddley Diddley, Ricochet Rabbit, Maw Rugg, Baba Looey, Col. Fuzzby, Granny Sweet, Magilla Gorilla, Penelope Pitstop and probably others. All I can think of is:

-The oft-mentioned "3,000,000th rerun of the FLINTSTONES" as viewed by Elroy Jetson's delinquent classmate. BTW, contrary to popular belief the footage of Fred diving on top of Barney as seen on Kenny's wrist-o-vision is not from an old episode, but entirely 'new' footage. For years I slavishly scanned every FLINTSTONE rerun for it, to no avail.;)

-Mumbly turning up at the end of the first Dynomutt episode. Interesting in that both characters bowed on Saturday AM the same day.

-LAFF-A-LYMPICS, largely a 'reunion show', did feature a silent cameo by Peter Potamus, and several appearances from Jabberjaw, Fred and Barney- the latter two as guest commentators.

There were many more verbal references to other characters in H-B series. Virtually every 1959-62 character, after taking a blow to the head, would say "Like Quick Draw McGraw says, ooohh, that smarts!" If a character was turning on a TV, it was to watch another H-B show.

Outside of H-B, a Super Chicken segment involving the Easter Bunny opened with a head shot of virtually every previous Jay Ward character under Paul Frees narrating "There have been many beloved characters-"

A real oddity was the BEATLES episode Tell Me What You See featuring Ringo momentarily turning (due to a special-effects machine) into fellow KFS property Swee'-Pea.

Thanks for the correction; was going by (apparently faulty) memory on this one...

[TwoToneDearly]

A couple from memory

Beavis and Butthead did a cameo on The Brothers Grunt on MTV

also Beavis did a cameo (on a tv as Cornholio) on The Maxx

I don;t know if this counts but the christmas episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Christmas Blast) featured a cameo from Sonic SatAM's Princess Sally Acorn.

Elmyra making a few cameos on Animaniacs as well as Plucky Duck(both normal and baby), Buster Bunny, and Babs Bunny

The Brain making a cameo on a halloween edition of Tiny Toons

The Brain and Wakko Warner both making a cameo on an episode of Freakazoid

Pepper Ann made a small cameo on Disney's House of Mouse.

[Eric B]

Now that you mentioned it, I noticed a brood of alien ants from another Super Friends episode that favored Zorak a little bit also.
I thought about those too: almost little red Zoraks. However, they were changed enough that it could not be considered the same character. Perhaps based on the same drawing, but still, the heads were changed.
Mantor on Jabberjaw was identical to Zorak! In fact, they even used the footage of him in the wig on Space Ghost Coast to Coast; and then there was the old CN promo "Velma at the Center of the Cartoon Universe" that comes right out and says that this was a "guess stint" of Zorak on Jabberjaw. (to connect Space Ghost with Velma, since Clamhead looked so much like Shaggy).


-The oft-mentioned "3,000,000th rerun of the FLINTSTONES" as viewed by Elroy Jetson's delinquent classmate. BTW, contrary to popular belief the footage of Fred diving on top of Barney as seen on Kenny's wrist-o-vision is not from an old episode, but entirely 'new' footage. For years I slavishly scanned every FLINTSTONE rerun for it, to no avail.;) I thought that was from the first episode; "the Swimming Pool". It did look kind of old like that. (Maybe dropped footage or something).
-LAFF-A-LYMPICS, largely a 'reunion show', did feature a silent cameo by Peter Potamus, and several appearances from Jabberjaw, Fred and Barney- the latter two as guest commentators. Missed that one. Never saw Peter Potamus.
Wasn't Top Cat a guest commentator or referee once too?
They should have had a whole other team for some of those other characters; especially from the Magilla era.
The first appearance of Fred on the first episode was probably the last voicing of him by Alan Reed. (I was surpsised that he made it to that show. I hadn't remembered, but it took me years to realize the voice had changed at some point.


There were many more verbal references to other characters in H-B series. Virtually every 1959-62 character, after taking a blow to the head, would say "Like Quick Draw McGraw says, ooohh, that smarts!" If a character was turning on a TV, it was to watch another H-B show. Oh, so we're doing verbal references too?
End of first Magilla episode; when he returns to the shop; "Who'd you expect; Yogi Bear?"

[Still HowardFein]

I thought that was from the first episode; "the Swimming Pool". It did look kind of old like that. (Maybe dropped footage or something). Missed that one. Never saw Peter Potamus.

Good guess, but The Swimming Pool was animated solely by Ken Muse and, in my memory, there's no scene in which Barney yells "Watch out!" to a diving Fred. The brief footage of Fred and Barney on the wrist-o-vision was animated by Carlo Vinci, who was animating the JETSONS scene in question.

The Potamus cameo in LAFF-A-LYMPICS was extremely quick. I forget which episode, but the camera scans across the crowd and the narrator says along the lines of "Anyone who's someone is here to watch this event. Even Peter Potamus is here-"

TwoTone Dearly mentions a cameo by Pepper Ann in HOUSE OF MOUSE. Can't say that really counts, because every Disney character is seen in the background at some time or another.

[cyde]

Now that you mentioned it, I noticed a brood of alien ants from another Super Friends episode that favored Zorak a little bit also.So did one Scooby show as well, something to do with 5000 years into the future. Oh, and in Josie, Alexandra Cabot asks, "What'd you expect, Scooby Doo?"

Cameos rock.

[Zorak Masaki]

Also, theres a kind-of-cameo in the wonder twins short "drag race" where you can see yogi bear on a movie poster (guess the theatre was showing hey there its yogi bear).

[Eric B]

So did one Scooby show as well, something to do with 5000 years into the future. That was even more different; though it had the same bug eyes.

Then, you also had some "owl men" who looked faintly similar to Brak.

[Dr. Zin]

In the department of "incidental characters who became stars", one might consider Penelope Pitstop and the Ant Hill Mob, who were secondary characters (and nominal rivals) in Wacky Races but were subsequently paired in The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.

I don't recall now if it ever actually happened, but it would have been an interesting stunt had the Filmation-era Lone Ranger ever turned up in the Filmation-era Zorro series, or vice versa.

Here's one I don't understand clearly (and which doesn't precisely fit the category), because I never actually watched Tale Spin, but did catch the occasional episode of Darkwing Duck: how did it happen that Launchpad McQuack was a featured character in both shows, despite their very different settings?

Much more recent: in the premiere episode of the current Spectacular Spider-Man series, the opening moments find Spidey swooping past a frozen-in-stone Brooklyn, from Greg Weisman's prior series Gargoyles.

Lunchpad McQuack wasn't on TaleSpin but on Ducktales with Scrooge McDuck

Unfortunately the Filmation Lone Ranger never meet the Zorro one, however the Filmation's Zorro used lots of the Lone Ranger's background music.

[Dr. Zin]

Launchpad McQuack wasn't on TaleSpin but on Ducktales with Scrooge McDuck.

<whacks self on forehead>

Right block, wrong series. (As you can tell, I didn't watch much Duck Tales either....) But this still leaves the underlying question: was there an in-continuity explanation for how he jumped from Duck Tales to Darkwing Duck?

[Blackstar]

<whacks self on forehead>

Right block, wrong series. (As you can tell, I didn't watch much Duck Tales either....) But this still leaves the underlying question: was there an in-continuity explanation for how he jumped from Duck Tales to Darkwing Duck?

Darkwing Duck's most direct reference to DuckTales was in the episode "Tiff of the Titans", in which Fenton Crackshell (Gizmoduck's true identity) comes to Drake Mallard's house to visit his friend Launchpad. When Launchpad introduces Fenton to Drake, he tells Drake that "He (Fenton) and I used to work for the same guy!" The "guy" in questionbeing Scrooge McDuck, who is never mentioned by name.

Scrooge also makes a quasi cameo appearnce in another episode, where Darkwing is blown back by a huge gust of wind and is blown right out his home town of Saint Canard. He runs into a billboard that reads "Welcome to Duckburg" and is sporting a picture of Scrooge.

[EJLD4Ever]

Here are some more:

1. In a rare inter-studio cameo, Bugs Bunny appears in George Pal's Jasper Goes Hunting (1944)

2. In one episode of Top Cat, there is a scene which takes place in a museum. In that scene, the gang passes statues of cavemen that resemble Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. One chatacter says "I just saw those two guys on TV the other night."

[George3000]

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about! Fred and Barney as statues on Top Cat!

[Lucho]

I don't recall now if it ever actually happened, but it would have been an interesting stunt had the Filmation-era Lone Ranger ever turned up in the Filmation-era Zorro series, or vice versa.

As great as it would have been, the problem with that is Zorro takes place some time in the early 1800's, I think 1812 when California is still Spanish, or in transition. While Lone Ranger takes place at least during 1870. So their about 60 years apart, unless one of them is time traveling they could never have met.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/GuitchoYojimbo/ProcopioRangerZorroSculptDesigns.jpg

One option could have been one of Zorros's descendant's a great grand kid or someone meeting up with the Lone Ranger. Or one of the Lone Rangers ancestors meeting up with Zorro.
The Lone Ranger was an X-Texas Ranger, hence the name. They were known for hunting down Mexican "Bandits" If Zorro was considered a Bandit, the Lone Rangers Great Grandfather could have been hired to hunt him down.
Kind of like in the movie how Harry Love (who was a real Texas Ranger) Was hired to hunt down and kill the Murieta Brothers concidered bandits, even though to some they were national heroes.


Did these two ever meet?

[All Star Blitz]

I don't know if this counts since they're not per se cartoon characters, but Mario & Luigi made a cameo in an ep of Chowder.

[Blackstar]

I don't know if this counts since they're not per se cartoon characters, but Mario & Luigi made a cameo in an ep of Chowder.

Well, for legal purposes, since Cartoon Network most likely didn't get permission from Nintendo for use of the characters, those weren't officially the Mario Bros., just random characters who distinctly resembled them. Nonetheless, I suppose that could indeed be counted.

[Steve Carras]

Here's some off of the top of my head:
That one Tweety short from the early 1950s, k "Dog Pounded", where Pepe LePew comes on in both senses of the term (and his theme , the old 1920s tune "Lamour, Toljours"'s played).

"Pop's Nature Pup" (1959) with Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, which has a cameo by Yogi Bear (and similiar to the aboive entry where a piece of music is noted, and similiar to Yogi's own "Space Bear" from thsat season, a Quick Draw theme by composer Jack Shaindlin from the Capitol library is played, the same one used in Clokey's 1957 NASCAR epic wioth Gumby "The Racing Game", btw aviable on that DVD "Gumby Essentials"

Tweety in the end of a Jones (Pepe LePew director) short, to turn things around form the first entry, "No Barking".

Another cameo (this time on the Flinstones in Swedish Visitors, the same episode that gave the 1990s reruns from 1963-64 the stock credits),m by Yogi and Boo Boo and the approipriate Hoyt Curtin theme music plays.

TWO by Bugs Bunny: the 1943 comeback cartoon bY Frank Tashlin, "Porky Pig's Feat", and Bob Clampett & Art Davi's 1947 introduction of the Goofy Gophers, the self-titled short, both at the end.

and for a special, Rudolph the rednosed Reindeer's appearance in one of the Rankin?Bass?Videocraft TV specials, I forget which one.

[Steve Carras]

Yogi (along with Boo-Boo) also appeared on an episode of The Flintstones, stealing a picnic basket. (I forgot which episode was that in.)

See my post above.

[dth1971]

I know Fifi La Fume, Shirley the Loon, Plucky Duck, Buster Bunny, Babs Bunny, and Furball from Tiny Toons cameoed on Animaniacs.

Did some DIC Heathcliff cartoons featured appearances by Hector, Wordsworth, and Mungo from the Catillac Cats?

[Blackstar]

Did some DIC Heathcliff cartoons featured appearances by Hector, Wordsworth, and Mungo from the Catillac Cats?

Hector, Wordsworth and Mungo did appear in several Heathcliff shorts, but those can't be considered cameos because they weren't just sudden funny appearances. Hector, Wordsworth and Mungo always played a major part in the plots of those stories.

[Jave]

There's also the Popeye cartoon "Olive Oyl for President" which features a cameo by Little Audrey.

[Eric B]

Here's some off of the top of my head:
That one Tweety short from the early 1950s, k "Dog Pounded", where Pepe LePew comes on in both senses of the term (and his theme , the old 1920s tune "Lamour, Toljours"'s played).

Tweety in the end of a Jones (Pepe LePew director) short, to turn things around form the first entry, "No Barking".
Don't forget Tweety's own prenatal pre-debut cameo in "Wacky Blackouts". and then, Clampett's actual last use of him, also in baby form, on the baby assembly line in Baby Bottleneck.

and for a special, Rudolph the rednosed Reindeer's appearance in one of the Rankin?Bass?Videocraft TV specials, I forget which one. That had to be "Santa Claus is Coming To Town", which is of course is Santa's story, and as a gag, at the beginning, names the reindeer, and the child the narrator is talking to asks "What about...", then you see Rudolf, and his nose making a honking noise as it lit, and then the narrator says something like "No, not him yet, that's later".

[Lord Pumpkin]

Peter and Stewie Griffin appear in a calender in the first Futurama DTV movie.

Billy and Mandy featured cameos by various HB characters.

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cameo as stautes in Gummi Bears.

[Zorak Masaki]

Homer Simpson (at least his voice) showed up in Ren and Stimpy's "Jiminy Lummox" when Stimpy was flipping through tv channels.

[stephane dumas]

Homer Simpson (at least his voice) showed up in Ren and Stimpy's "Jiminy Lummox" when Stimpy was flipping through tv channels.

Ren and Stimpy also appeared in a Simpsons episode where Bart and his "big brother" watch an episode of Ren and Stimpy.

Also, the Flintstones appeared in the couch gag of the episode "Camp Krusty" and Archie, Jughead, Reggie and Big Moose appeared in the episode where Sideshow Bob run for mayor just after Bob kicked out Bart out of his limo, Homer is being kicked out from Archie's jalopy.

[Lord Pumpkin]

In the begining of Shrek 2 during the Shrek/Fiona honeymoon montage, in the beach scene, a red haired mermaid appears on top of Shrek based on From Here to Etrenity. They didn't show her face, but I think that Dreamworks spoof Ariel.

In the 80's version of He-Man, in a treasure room, we see a statue of another Filmation hero named Blackstar.

Fat Albert as a spinx in Mighty Mouse from Filmation.

The Wonder Twins are stautes in Justice League.

[greg!]

On the Amazing Chan & the Chan Clan, Stanley chan is always wearing disguises. In the episode "To Catch A Pitcher" Stanley dresses up as a famous movie star---Yogi Bear.

Fred Flintstone and George Jetson have popped up on PPG as well.

[Mr Flintstone]

The Peanuts gang on a Halloween episode of The Simpsons.

[rainstorm46]

I remember seeing Barney in one of Dexter's Lab episodes.

[88fingers]

This is a super thread, with excellent examples cited. There's a very early example of a crossover cameo worth mentioning. As many here would know, when Ub Iwerks, Walt Disney's original collaborator in the creation of Mickey Mouse--and the one credited with really designing and creating him after the loss of rights to Oswald the Rabbit--left Disney's company he formed his own, and launched his own character hoping for a franchise, Flip the Frog. In Flip's debut 1930 short, Fiddlesticks, Flip begins a musical duel with a familiar looking mouse... Their musical back and forth may remind a modern audience of that because two duck rivals in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, a film that is in some ways structured around cameos.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3f/Fiddlesticks.jpg/200px-Fiddlesticks.jpg

[Mr Flintstone]

Didn't Fred and Barney make cameos on Scooby Doo as giant ballons?

[DeanBurrito25]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is has to be the biggest cartoon crossover ever.

[Eric B]

Didn't Fred and Barney make cameos on Scooby Doo as giant ballons?
That was Fred and Yogi. there were Batman and Robin balloons as well, but those aren't cameo's, as they were already the special guests, of course.

[Ioz]

Cobra Commander appeared in an episode of Transformers. He was never actually referred to as Cobra Commander during the episode, just as "Old Snake," but he does yell "Cobra!" at the end of the episode just to make sure you know it is him.

[rainstorm46]

I also remembering seeing Yogi bear in the totem pole episode of A Pup named Scooby Doo.

[Blackstar]

I also remembering seeing Yogi bear in the totem pole episode of A Pup named Scooby Doo.

That episode was titled "The Story Stick", and that wasn't the actual Yogi Bear; it was a viscous bear with a green hat and tie like Yogi's. At the most, it was a quasi-appearance.

[Eric B]

Well, the ranger was Smith.

[Itchy]

One of the Beagle boys appeared in the form of a dummy Donald uses to train his guard dog with in Quack Pack.

Various Looney Tunes characters appeared regularly on Tiny Toons. Bugs Bunny also had a cameo in Animaniacs.

Donald and Mickey have brief cameos has hitchhikers in A Goofy movie.

Matt Groening characters have not surprisingly appeared outside their own universe as cameos in different Groening-created shows.
Blinky can be seen briefly in the first Futurama episode. In a other episode Fry discovers a pile of Bart Simpson dolls. Bender later appeared in the Simpsons episode "Future-drama"
Binky from Life in Hell can also be seen as crowd filler in some Itchy and Scratchy cartoons

Family guy and American dad are seen in a cop's book of wanted criminals in The Italian Bob.

March Hare and The Mad Hatter made an appearance in the first episode of Bonkers.

In a episode of the Grim adventures of Bill and Mandy they find Fred Flintstone frozen inside a block of ice.


Ren and Stimpy also appeared in a Simpsons episode where Bart and his "big brother" watch an episode of Ren and Stimpy.

Also, the Flintstones appeared in the couch gag of the episode "Camp Krusty" and Archie, Jughead, Reggie and Big Moose appeared in the episode where Sideshow Bob run for mayor just after Bob kicked out Bart out of his limo, Homer is being kicked out from Archie's jalopy.

Also, Huckleberry Hound appeared at the end of "Behind the laughter"

[Rick Jones]

There's also the Popeye cartoon "Olive Oyl for President" which features a cameo by Little Audrey.I think it's just me but the kids at the circus in the Superman short "Terror on the Midway" always reminds me of Lil Lulu and her friends.

[Zorak Masaki]

Spider-man made some cameos on GI Joe (on a poster at a comics convention in "my brothers keeper" and on a tv in "twenty questions"), which is understandable as it is a marvel productions show.

[Craig Crumpton]

One of the my favorite episodes of Johnny Bravo included both a spoof of Schoolhouse Rock ("The Sensitive Male") and Scooby Doo ("Bravo Dooby Doo") which included the entire Scooby Gang and nearly all the original voice cast, and Speed Buggy has a cameo at the end as well.

The Animaniacs segment "Back In Style" included satire at the expense of The Pink Panther, Yogi Bear, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, Underdog, and Scooby Doo.

[GCFyouthcamper]

Archie, Jughead, Reggie and Big Moose appeared in the episode where Sideshow Bob run for mayor just after Bob kicked out Bart out of his limo, Homer is being kicked out from Archie's jalopy.

Haha! I remember that! When they kicked Homer out of the jalopy, Moose said, "Duh, stay out of Riverdale!" :anime:

[Silverstar]

The Animaniacs segment "Back In Style" included satire at the expense of The Pink Panther, Yogi Bear, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, Underdog, and Scooby Doo.

Except for the Pink Pnather one, in which PP is actually redrawn from Bugs Bunny by a caricature of Friz Freleng, none of those are truly cameos since they're just parodies of those characters rather than the characters themselves. A lookalike who spoofs a particular character isn't the same thing as an actual cameo.

[cyde]

And in the DIC toon Maxie's world a blonde version of Bianca and Wilshire from The BHTs were there as well.

[Silverstar]

And in the DIC toon Maxie's world a blonde version of Bianca and Wilshire from The BHTs were there as well.

Yeah, I remember that. That was freaking weird. Lark, Troy, Bianca and Wilshire all guest starred in that short (which I believe was called "Beach Blanket Battle"), but for some reason Lark had red hair and Bianca was blonde. Perhaps DiC changed their hair colors so they wouldn't get confused with the Maxie franchise's Maxie and Jerri, who were also blonde and bruntette, respectively.

[Eric B]

The Animaniacs segment "Back In Style" included satire at the expense of The Pink Panther, Yogi Bear, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, Underdog, and Scooby Doo. I just got the two Animaniacs DVD's for Christmas hoping to see that one. But that was the least season, and only the first two or so seasons are on the DVD! Man, they withhold this stuff rrom airing, and it's not even on DVD yet?:mad:

I did get to see the one I had heard about, with a sort of predecessor to Grim from Billy and Mandy! The accent was actually not West Indian, but rather Swedish or something like that, but it sounded pretty much the same.

[ReijiAzuma]

The Ducktales villains (The Beagle Boys, Glomgold, and Magica) all cameo in the Darkwing Duck episode "In Like Blunt" The episode "Film Flam" reveals Darkwing has a Talespin shirt. Chip and Montery Jack's voices are heard in "Twitching Channels"

Ludwig Von Drake makes a brief appearance in a Ducktales episode (Golden Fleecing).

Mickey Mouse (voice only), Donald Duck, Goofy, Pete, and Darkwing all made cameos on Bonkers. The Mad Hatter and March Hare made frequent cameos (or would those be guest appearances?)

Pepper Ann makes a cameo in the first episode of House of Mouse

I forget the name of the episode, but one Heathcliff had the cat attempt to change his ways. At one point he changes a TV set to Inspector Gadget. Also, during a segment of Cats and Co., "Harem Cat," Gadget can be seen in a crowd.

Mickey and Donald's hitchhiking cameo in a Goofy Movie was already mentioned. However, Mickey makes another cameo near the end during the Powerline concert.

I know some Looney Tunes characters made cameos on Tazmania. I remember one where Bugs and Daffy appear in a jeep. There's also another one where Taz and Willie Wombat have phone conversations with Bugs and (if I remember right) Yosemite Sam

The TAS version of Batman made a cameo in the first episode of Freakazoid.

Space Ghost makes a brief cameo in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie, where he is brutally killed.


How many times did Dexter make a cameo in The Powerpuff Girls?

Dexter shows up in Criss Cross Crisis and Forced Kin as himself, and alongside Dee-Dee, as a doll in Ploys R Us. Quackor cameos in Bought and Scold. The Tv's Puppet Pals appear in Mommy Fearest and Power Prof. Space Ghost and Birdman show up in Members Only, which guest-starred Major Glory and Val Halen. And speaking of which, Bubbles cameos as a doll in the Dexter episode "That's Using Your Head."

Various Pixar characters have made several appearances in other movies.
Woody and Buzz can be seen in the dentist's waiting room in Finding Nemo, toys of A Bug's Life characters can be seen in the toy store in Toy Story 2( They also make cameos again in the credits)

Also, Mike from Monsters, Inc. swims past the camera during the closing credits of Finding Nemo.

Spider-man was on Muppet Babies.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is has to be the biggest cartoon crossover ever.

With the Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue TV special coming in at a close second.

:shrug:

Mandy has appeared in an episode of Fosters. It was really quick though.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Ed Edd and Eddy have appeared in the episode of Fosters where Terrance has Eduardo fight robotic monsters at a garbage dump.

We're talking about cameos here, not crossovers. A cameo and a crossover aren't the same thing.

A cameo is when a character from a show makes a sudden funny appearance on a completely different show. A crossover is when characters from multiple shows share a singular plot line.

Roger Rabbit wasn't a crossover; it had a cohesive story involving the main characters that could have been told without all of those other studio characters. The appearances by Mickey, Bugs et al were therefore just cameos.

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue counts as a crossover since all of those characters were active in the story's plot. But it wasn't any one character's show in which the others were all guesting, therefore they can't be considered cameos.

I did, a few pages back. ;)

Another recent example: Sara Bellum from The Powerpuff Girls recently turned up in the Chowder short "The Hot Date".

I was intrigued to find this interesting phenom just recently. It was brought up some time ago at another board, so I'll just relay the discussion topic here. How many of you out there can point out an occassion where a cartoon character from one series made a one-off cameo appearance in another? And no, this does not include crossovers. Here's the example that came to mind...

Although the supporting player on the right-hand side is not who you think it is, they sure came pretty darn close. Can you name some other examples of incidental characters who either went on to become stars in their own right, or existing stars who've made unannounced cameos on other shows (unintentionally, I presume)?


Who is that Next to Peebles?

Some random character who looks suspiciously like George Jetson, but he's not. That was the point that Team FX was trying to make.

I heard that there was a scene on "The PJs" that had Fry on a milk carton with the caption "missing" (which actually fits into the Futurama continuity) but i still havent seen it (any screen caps of it?) and Futurama also paid homage by having the PJs logo (with Thurgood Stubbs on it) appear on a manhole cover in Futurama.

The Simpsons had various cartoon characters make cameos on their show:

Peter Griffin
Stan Smith
Heckle and Jeckle
George Jetson
the Cast of King of the Hill
Thurgood Stubs from the PJ's
Bender
Stan, Kyle and Cartman from South Park
The alien from the Quisp cereal
The Flintstones
Archie and the Gang
Fat Albert


A bound and gagged Betty Rubble is seen in the Dexter's Lab ep "Dad is Disturbed." Barney Rubble appears in the end.

The "Imaginationland" South Park episode/movie featured:

Captain Planet
