Woody from Toy Story.

Even reading the last dialogue from Toy Story 3 gets me everytime:

Now, Woody -- he’s been my pal as
long as I can remember. He’s brave,
like a cowboy should be. And kind,
and smart. But the thing that makes
Woody special? Is he’ll never give
up on you -- ever. He’ll be there
for you, no matter what. Y’think you
can take care of him for me?

+1 for Doug, Angry Beavers and Earthworm Jim.

Arnold from Hey Arnold! was a ledgend in himself, so calm and collected, a very wise young man, Gerald was great too.
CatDog was great, as was Rugrats, Rocket Power and Animaniacs of course.

Bikermice From Mars and Street Sharks where firm favourites.

I always had a soft spot for Recess but rarely found it on, sometimes even today if up around 7 I check if its on just incase

At various points in my childhood:

He-Man - used to fight with my sister as to whether this, or Bosco, would be programmed to be recorded during our swimming lessons.
MASK - was majorly jealous of the kid up the road who had nearly all of the toys.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold - downloaded the series for our little fella recently and was amazed at the educational bits at the end, I'd totally forgotten about them
The Legend of Prince Valiant - I thought of myself as "too old for cartoons" by then but my little brother loved it and I got totally sucked into the storyline.

Today: it's been Maggie Simpson ever since they started showing her as the genius she is... I loved the recent short that was shown before Ice Age 4!

Apparently, the original Janapese title translated into "Space Ninjas". If I had known that when I was a kid....

Ninjas weren't allowed back then. Remember the TMNT were called the teenage mutant hero turtles.

I re-watched Battle of the Planets a while back. It sucked. made so much more sense when I was 5.

And I downloaded the entire looney tunes a while back. they weren't as good as I remembered. Except road runner. That was so ****ing awesome.

Ahhh I blubbered because of that film. It was an instant classic.

Tom from Tom and Jerry
Razor from SWAT Kats
Sylvester from Looney Tunes (yeah, I liked cats from an early age!)
Dale from Chip and Dale
Batman from the Animated series
Cyclops from X-Men: Evolutions (too bad he was such a whiney bitch in the movies)
Shadowcat from X-Men: Evolutions (cool to see Ellen Paige doing her role in the movies)

And of course Samurai Jack!! I was fairly grown up by the time the show aired but that is my favourite cartoon ever. The artwork, action, Jack's cool and calm demeanor was just pure awesomeness!!

Also should mention Courage from Courage the Cowardly Dog and Sheep from Sheep in the Big City for their absolutely bat**** insane storylines!

My favourites, Bugs bunny, daffy duck, yogie bear, the flintsones, minnie/micky mouse, donald duck, looney toons, garfield, inspector gadget lol, rugrats, something similar to ren a simpy wouldn't been keen on them or scooby doo, liked the simpsons, tom and jerry, liked super ted but annoyed me after a while amongst other cartoons.

So many cartoons I enjoyed and characters I liked especially those in cartoons alongside bugs bunny. I liked taz, road runner, Sylvester and tweety pie. Animaniacs were ok. Mask, angry beavers, oggie and the cockroaches, popeye. Liked the tick, mr men, arnold, doug, daria, sonic the hedgehog, the teenage mutant turtles, batman and robbin, spiderman, the chipmunks and the ones with the racoons can't remember the names of them three musketeers??? I liked post man pat lol not so much the cartoons from the 80s the 90's yes!

Some very ood shouts there, the ones in bold are really old school for me, they were only on when I was very small and I have memories of loving them, back before Nickelodeon came through on the terrestial channels and we had TCC (I think it was called The Childrens Channel).

One not mentioned already, I think it was Transylvanian Highschool, I could only see it if I was home sick from school or on a half day, used to love it.

Oh and 'Aaah! Real Monsters' was very good, I remember when Monsters Inc. came out thinkin 'rip off', it definatly beat the hell out of Moesha and Clarissa Explains It All.

The Animals of Farthing Wood always freaked me out, it was basically a soup for kids with all the blood, conspiracy and pregnancy going around, and Babar was just boring.

*Edit: Remember the Magic School Bus, to quote a friend from childhood 'Its savage cuz its funny and you learn'.
