Description I found this meme and I thought I shall do it. So here we have some characters that I love and adore and their love needs to be SPREAD:

10. Bean Bunny - This little guy is one of my favourite Muppets and, in recent years, has been left on the sidelines. I can see why others may dislike him but personally, I think he's adorable.
9. Berkeley Beetle - I may be wrong about this guy. I think he's a fabulous dude (Gilbert Gottfried, people!) and I think why he's rather underrated is that he is a secondary antagonist from an underrated film. Shame, really...
8. Tex Avery's Big Bad Wolf - again I may be wrong about his underratedness but it seems that Red gets all the attention (don't get me wrong, she's fabulous.) Wolfie gets a lot of fan art inspired by him but not actual fan art of him.
7. Juno - Why did they not include her in the cartoon?! She is a fantastic character with a outrageously wonderful personality! I love her bluntness about everything.
6. Ebenezer Von Clutch - The poor sap only appeared in one Crash Bandicoot game and was left to rot in the dust. I love German accents and eccentricities...hence why VC is just awesome.
5. Philoctetes - I know I have a crazy fangirl crush on Hades but Phil is my second favourite by a very close second in the film! One: DANNY DEVITO. Two: LECHEROUS LITTLE SATYR. All of the other main characters from Hercules have a million fanarts...except for Phil. Phil is a fantastic (albeit mythologically inaccurate) creation and needs more love!
4. The Banana Splits - These guys were HUGE back in the day but now...where are they? Bring them back! I LOVED these guys as a kid (Bingo is in my Top 3 for best laughs) and they now have the honour of being my ringtone on my phone!
3. Elliot - It's because of him that I watch the film. It's one of Disney's lesser known films, meaning a lesser known character. Elliot is one of my favourite Disney characters because he's such a sweetie...he can do much better than a brat like Pete.
2. Pepe the King Prawn - This is a weird one for me, as I'm more of a classic Muppets fanantic. But Pepe is one of my absolute favourite Muppets (blame the flirtatious personality and Spanish accent). I've noticed he's getting more attention in recent years (I've even got his book! ) but I think he needs more.
And finally...
1. Nails - Nails has probably joined the ranks of my favourite animated characters EVER! Whether it's my love for anthropomorphic insects/arachnids or not, I don't know. I think he's underrated for a number of reasons. He's a supporting character in a film that isn't that well known and was a total flop. But even if the film was a complete success, he would still be in the shadows of one character in particular...Holli Would. Actually, one of the main reasons why I watch Cool World is Nails.

Ah, Berkeley Beetle. XD; I like him, but my fave character is Ms. Fieldmouse. And yay for Phil! :3 Also interesting to see Von Dutch* Clutch on here. I don't have an opinion on him, but CTTR is one of my favorite games.

Thanks for using my meme!

Ah yes, Ms Fieldmouse.

I LOVE Phil!

CTTR is very addictive and fun in terms of gameplay. It's one of my favourites too.


And you're welcome!

She may sing the worst song in animated film history (as most people say), but I couldn't help but love her.

I used to have one of those plates with Phil on it. I wish I still had it. T-T

My favorite CB game, much to people's shock, is Mind Over Mutant. I just love the humor and gameplay. X3

Oh yeah, it won a Razzie if I remember rightly. But truthfully I don't mind it.


Oh my gosh, AWESOME! I have a Phil T-shirt design on Redbubble. It's in my gallery.


I haven't played any of the recent Crash games (purely because I don't have the consoles.) My favourite is probably Warped or Twinsanity.

All of these guys do deserve more attention! I remember Bean Bunny, and he was and still is adorable.
I actually never watched Thumbellina but I do know the Villain of it
I can honestly say I'm guilty of getting inspiration from Wolfie to make Sid (and various other characters).
Juno is so awesome! She reminds me of my late grandma, and it was a shame she wasn't in the TV Show, but then again neither were the Maitlands
Out of all the Crash games I played, I never got to play this one and it's a shame, he actually looks like a well thought out character.
Phil being Danny DeVito is probably the #1 reason why I liked him
I recall watching The Banana Splits once, I think, I'm not entirely shure, is it a European show?
I have a toy of Elliot somewhere, and this is also another movie I never watched I need to go rent some of these.
Pepe is a great character Although my favorite muppet of all time has to be the Swedish Chef.
Nails is fantastic, hell, I think they would have been better off making a Cool World TV show, and made Nails the Co-Star.

BEAN! He does get a good role in the Muppets 3D film at Walt Disney World but, apart from A Christmas Carol, that's about it...
WATCH THUMBELINA! It's so cute!! And the bad guy here is none other than Gilbert Gottfried!
Oh no, there's nothing wrong with that, if anything it's great. I just think Wolfie needs a bit more love.
That is so cool!! Yeah, I think the Maitlands should have made at least one appearance but Juno would have been so GREAT in the TV show!
Crash Tag Team Racing is one of my guilty pleasures...the racing aspects of it are awesome but the storyline's a little lame. I think you'll like Von Clutch, he's an eccentric weirdo...whose GERMAN.
Same here!!
I can tell you it's American. It was really popular over here though.
I MUST SEE THIS TOY! I dressed up as him for my birthday party one year.
You can't go wrong with the Swedish Chef. Although my ultimate favourite is Animal.
That would have been EPIC! He has an awesome role in the prequel miniseries of comics that they did. But a TV show would have been so cooool!

I gotta admit, for being a one-off character, I do like Von Clutch. Although I stopped following Crash Bandicoot for some time, he often appeared in my many game ideas...mostly the racing ideas. XD

Oh wicked! Tag Team Racing is one of my guilty pleasure games. And I'm with you there. I'm more of a classic Crash fanatic.

Crash-the-Megaraptor In reply to Groovy-Gecko [2013-04-29 20:09:44 +0000 UTC]

I always loved Crash Tag Team Racing...I just feel the roster could have been a little bigger. I always thought a combination of Team Racing and Nitro Kart's concepts (in other words, set teams divided into good and evil) would have been nice. For example...

GOOD: Crash, Coco, Crunch, Polar, Pura, Fake Crash, Von Clutch, Pasadena
EVIL: Cortex, N Gin, Tiny, Nina, Dingodile, N Tropy, Ripper Roo, N Brio

Or alternatively, maybe a few extra characters to make it four teams.

TEAM BANDICOOT: Crash, Coco, Crunch, Polar, Pura
TEAM CORTEX: Cortex, Nina, N Gin, Tiny, Dingodile
TEAM TROPY: N Tropy, N Brio, N Trance, Koala Kong, Pinstripe
TEAM CLUTCH: Von Clutch, Pasadena, Ripper Roo, Papu Papu, Fake Crash

(for the last three....maybe VC just hired them. I dunno XD Maybe you prefer one to the other)

But, yeah, Crash Bandicoot was my childhood, so it has a special place for me.

That would have been really cool! Like Crash Bandicoot's answer to Mario Kart Double Dash!

Crash was also a childhood favourite of mine.

I always wondered why Juno wasn't the cartoon, either!

I could have totally seen her constantly keeping an eye on BJ, to make sure he stays out of trouble, and not to mention having an inkling of respect towards Lydia for being able to keep able to keep our favorite Ghost with the Most in line (most of the time, at least...).

And speaking of Beetlejuice, I found the original script of the movie a while back (and it was MUCH DARKER than how it is now), and I discovered that there was a character removed from the final cut of the movie.

Did you know that Lydia wasn't originally going to be an only child?

That's right, she was going to have a 9-year-old sister named Cathy.

Now I can't help but wonder what the movie (and the cartoon) would have been like if she hadn't been removed from it.

Groovy-Gecko In reply to Jackie-SugarSkull [2013-04-03 19:37:04 +0000 UTC]

I know, right? Juno would have been a fantastic edition to the cartoon. I think if there was a reason, it may have been her chain-smoking... But neverheless I completely agree with you!

Oh yeah, I heard about that. The original sounded a lot more sinister. But equally, I think it would have been just as good...except for I would have been scared silly. Shame I can't say the same about Cool World, the original plot for that was darker but would have been an awful lot better.

Jackie-SugarSkull In reply to Groovy-Gecko [2013-04-03 20:25:41 +0000 UTC]

Probably...

Personally, as much as I love horror movies, I'm glad they went more along the comedy route when it came to Beetlejuice. Yeah, I heard that about Cool World, too. DAMN YOU, KIM BASINGER!!! You ruined everything!

Groovy-Gecko In reply to Jackie-SugarSkull [2013-04-03 20:31:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, me too. I am not that great with horror films. I love their concepts and horror books...I'm just not great with gore.
YES! *RAGE* I didn't like her character at all in the Tim Burton Batman film but Cool World confirmed that I, in fact, do not like Kim Basinger.
