Raggedy Ann Raggedy Ann is a character created by American writer Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938) that appeared in a series of books he wrote and illustrated for young children. Raggedy Ann is a rag doll with red yarn for hair and has a triangle nose. Johnny Gruelle received US Patent D47789 for his Raggedy Ann doll on September 7, 1915. The character was created in 1915 as a doll, and was introduced to the public in the 1918 book "Raggedy Ann Stories". When a doll was marketed with the book, the concept had great success. A sequel, "Raggedy Andy Stories" (1920), introduced the character of her brother, Raggedy Andy.

The Birth of a Notion The Birth of a Notion is a "Looney Tunes" cartoon animated in 1946 and released in 1947. It was reissued as a Blue Ribbon "Merrie Melodies" cartoon, retitled Birth of a Notion, with the ending theme song still being that of the "Looney Tunes" cartoon. It features Daffy Duck, as well as a dog named Leopold and an unnamed mad scientist. Director Robert McKimson used his "Barnyard Dawg" character design as Leopold, while the scientist is a caricature, both visually and vocally, of Peter Lorre. The title is a play on "The Birth of a Nation", but there is no other connection to that 1915 film.

Jiminy Cricket Jiminy Cricket is the Walt Disney version of The Talking Cricket (Italian: "Il Grillo Parlante" ), a fictional character created by Carlo Collodi for his children's book "The Adventures of Pinocchio", which Disney adapted into the animated film "Pinocchio" in 1940. Originally an unnamed, minor character in Collodi's novel, he was transformed in the Disney version into a comical and wise partner who accompanies Pinocchio on his adventures, having been appointed by the Blue Fairy (known in the book as The Fairy with Turquoise Hair) to serve as Pinocchio's official conscience. His design is different from real crickets, which are black or dark brown, with very long antennae. Since his debut in "Pinocchio", he has become a recurring iconic Disney character and has made numerous other appearances.

Mr. Jack Mr. Jack was an American comic strip by Jimmy Swinnerton which ran in William Randolph Hearst newspapers from about 1903 until 1935. He may be the first developed "funny animal" character, a type that has since become a staple in the comics medium. The series may also be one of the earliest spin-offs of another comic strip. The character of Mr. Jack, a philandering playboy tiger, emerged around 1898 in Swinnerton's earlier Hearst feature, The Little Tigers, which started in 1896.

A Hare Grows in Manhattan A Hare Grows In Manhattan is a Warner Bros. cartoon in the "Merrie Melodies" series, released on March 22, 1947 and directed by Friz Freleng. It stars Bugs Bunny and a pack of bulldogs (one resembles Hector). Unlike many cases where "hare" is a pun on "hair", the title here is a pun on a then-recent book which figures into the climax of the cartoon (however, it does also contain a punning reference to what hair does: grow).

Garden gnome Garden gnomes (German: "Gartenzwerge" , 'garden dwarfs' ) are lawn ornament figurines of small humanoid creatures known as gnomes that are typically males wearing red pointy hats. First created in 19th-century Germany, garden gnomes spread to other countries in Europe in the 1840s and became particularly popular in France and Britain. The term "garden gnome" may originate from the term "Gnomen-Figuren" (miniature figurines), used in the original German catalogues. They had a resurgence in popularity in the 1930s after Disney's animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", and were revived again in the 1970s.

Little Audrey Little Audrey (full name: Audrey Smith) is a fictional character, appearing in early 20th century folklore prior to her appropriation as the star in a series of Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios cartoons from 1947 to 1958. She is considered a variation of the better-known "Little Lulu", devised after Paramount decided not to renew the license on the comic strip character created by Marjorie Henderson Buell (AKA: "Marge"). Despite some superficial similarities between the two characters, the Famous animators were at pains to design Audrey in contrast to Lulu, adopting an entirely different color scheme and employing the stylistic conventions common to Famous Studios' later 1940s repertoire, as opposed to Buell's individualistic rendering of Little Lulu. Veteran animator Bill Tytla was the designer of Little Audrey, reportedly inspired by his daughter Tammy (who was also his inspiration for Famous' version of Little Lulu, on which he also worked and for which he directed several shorts). The original voice of Little Lulu was performed by actress Cecil Roy (who also provided the voice of "Casper the Friendly Ghost"). Little Audrey was instead voiced by Mae Questel, who also voiced most of Paramount's other major female cartoon characters including Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.
