Zoinks! Starting in 1969, the Scooby gang has solved the mystery of longevity for five decades now. Against odds, the dog has been the most successful detective as fortune favors him time and again.

5. WILE E. COYOTE  

Probably the second most sympathized character in the cartoon world after Tom, Coyote has been known for his witty, but misfiring schemes and methods since 1948. We never want Coyote to catch the ROAD RUNNER, but we always feel bad for him.     

    4.  HOMER SIMPSON

We're still not exactly sure where Springfield is, but we feel right at home at 742 Evergreen Terrace, which belongs to the Simpsons.  As for Homer Simpson, he is not a father who knows best, but he certainly tries to be one. He was and has been one of the favourites since 1989. 

 3.  TOM & JERRY

      

Having been the most successful pair for 70+ years, an explanation is definitely not needed for this classic , which has influenced numerous other cartoons.Though Tom and Jerry has had many incarnations, beginning with the Academy award-winning MGM shorts in the 1940s to the most recent episodes in Cartoon Network, the chase is yet to cease... 

 

     2.   BUGS BUNNY

    
Bugs Bunny, the Looney Tunes’ rabbit, is probably the most recognizable of all cartoon characters. His cheeky character has made him a favourite of several generations since 1960. ‘What’s up, Doc ? ’ is one line, which no kid would forget.

 

     1.  MICKEY MOUSE

     It was with Steamboat White in 1928 that Mr. Mickey Mouse, the brainchild of the great Walt Disney started his life in black and white. Mickey represents Disney in all its forms. He is the only cartoon star to feature on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. From then till now, Mickey has not been just a character, but an ICON of the cartoon world.
