Betty Boop is an animated cartoon character created by Max Fleischer, with the help from animators including Grim Natwick. She originally appeared in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop series, which were produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures. She has also been featured in comic strips and mass merchandising. Despite having been toned down in the mid-1930s as a result of the Hays Code to appear more demure, she became one of the best-known and popular cartoon characters in the world. Betty Boop appears herself as one of the most sex symbols on the animated screen and sings like this, "Boop-Oop-A-Doop".
The voice role of Betty Boop was played by Mae Questel in all of the 1930s black and white cartoons.

Woody Woodpecker
Welcome to the Old Classic Cartoon Page. Here is the first character I will talk about.
Woody Woodpecker is a funny animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic acorn woodpecker, who appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Pictures. Woody was created in 1940 by Lantz and storyboard artist Ben "Bugs" Hardway, who had previously laid the groundwork for other two screwball characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck at the Warner Bros. cartoon studio in the late 1930s. He was also orginally voiced by prolific voice actor Mel Blanc, who was succeeded by Ben Hardway and later by Grace Stafford, wife of Walter Lantz. His laugh went ,"Guess who? Ha-ha-ha-HAA-ha!" when Mel Blanc had already used a simliar laugh in the earlier Warner Bros. cartoons such as Elmer's Candid Camera.
Woody Woodpecker cartoons were first broadcast on television in 1957 under the title The Woody Woodpecker Show, which featured Lantz cartoons bookended by new footage of Woody and live-action footage of Lantz. Very much like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, Woody is part of a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fameon 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.

Screwy and Sammy Squirrel
Screwy Squirrel is a cartoon character, an anthropomorphic squirrel created by Tex Avery for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, generally considered the wackiest of the screwball cartoon characters of the 1940s, which included Warner Bros.'s Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Disney's Donald Duck and Aracuan Bird, Terrytoon's Heckle and Jeckle and Walter Lantz's Woody Woodpecker. Screwy, who goes by Screwball, is a red squirrel who can do almost anything to almost anyone: he pulls objects out of thin air, double himself, and constantly breaks the fourth wall while uttering a characteristic cackling laugh, which sounded as "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" He gets a chase between himself and a simple but agitated bird dog called Meathead.
Screwy also has another squirrel named Sammy the gray squirrel and they are both voiced by Wally Maher.

Spike and Tyke
Here are the other two characters from Tom and Jerry.
Spike and Tyle are fictional characters from the Tom and Jerry series, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Spike is a stern but occasionally dumb American bulldog who is particularly disapproving of catss, but a softie when it comes to mice, and later, his son Tyke. In the shorts, Jerry would often try to get Tom in trouble with Spike making him a shoo-in for beating from the bulldog. Spike has a few weaknesses that Tom tries to capitalize upon: his possessiveness about his bone and his ticklishness. He made his first appearance in the 1942 Tom and Jerry cartoon Dog Trouble, and his first speaking role was in 1944's The Bodyguard, where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher up until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Daws Butler. Tyke is known as a cute, sweet, happy, and a loveable pup. He is Spike's son and they make the father and son, with Spike spending much of his free time comforting his son, taking him out or teaching him the facts of life of being a dog. In Tom and Jerry Kids, Tyke has a speaking role and was the first time that Tom and Jerry fans were able to hear Tyke speak.

Tom and Jerry
This is the two characters I like to tell you about.
Tom and Jerry is a series of theatrical animated cartoon shorts created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, centering on a rivalry between a cat and a mouse whose chases include slapstick comedy. Tom is a gray and white domestic shorthair cat. He usually lives a pampered life, although the characters usually live in several lifestyles, while Jerry is a small brown mouse who always lives in close proximity to him. The plots on each short usually center on Tom's numerous attempts to capture Jerry and the mayhem and destruction that ensues. Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's cleverness, cunning abilities, and luck. Jerry tries to outsmart Tom while setting a booby trap things like axes, hammers, firearms, explosives, and poison when he tries to murder him.

Droopy Dog
Welcome to the MGM page. Here is the first character I will talk about.
Droopy is an animated cartoon character: an anthropomorphic dog with a droopy face, hence the name Droopy. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other famous MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a lowly monotone voice, and though hardly an imposing character is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. When finally roused to anger, often by a bad guy laughing heartly at him, Droopy is capable of beating adversaries twice his size with a comical thrashing (You know what? That makes me mad!") He also saunters into view, looking at the audience and declares, "Hello all you happy people...and you know what? I'm the hero." in his lazy look on his face.
The original voice of Droopy was provided by Bill Thompson.

Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner
And here's the last two Looney Tunes characters I like to tell you about.
Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner are a duo of cartoon characters from a series of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. They were created by animation director Chuck Jones in 1948 for Warner Bros., while the template for their adventures was the work of writer Michael Maltese. He and Road Runner star in a long-running series of theatrical cartoon shorts and occasional made-for-television cartoons. Wile E. Coyote was also known as super genius when he is generally silent in the Coyote-Road Runner shorts. Road Runner runs super fast even though Wile couldn't catch him when he makes a sound called, "Beep, Beep."

Penelope Pussycat
Penelope Pussycat is a fictional character, an anthropomorphic cat featured in the Warner Bros. classic Looney Tunes animated shorts. Although she is typically a non-speaker, her "meows" and "purrs" (or "le mews" and "le purrs") were most often provided by Mel Blanc using a feminine voice. In the 1959 short Really Scent, she was voiced by June Foray. Penelope the Cat is best known as the often bewildered love interest of Looney Tunes' anthropomorphic skunk, Pepe Le Pew. She is also a typical black and white cat, though by some means or another, she often finds herself with a white stripe down her back, whether painted intentionally or mostly by accident.

Pepe Le Pew
Pepe Le Pew is a fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons, first introduced in 1945. The French skunk that always strolls around in Paris in the springtime, when everyone's thoughts are of "love", Pepe is constantly seeking "l'amour" of his own. However, he has two huge turnoffs to any prospective mates: his malodorous scent, and his refusal to take no for an answer, blissfully convinced that the girl is flirting with him, even when she rejects his advances to the point of physically assaulting him. Pepe is stereotypically French in the way Speedy Gonzales is stereotypically Mexican. Pepe Le Pew storylines typically involve Pepe in pursuit of what appears to be a female skunk for which he calls, "la belle femme skunk fatale". But usually, the female skunk is actually a black cat (retroactively named Penelope Pussycat) who has a white stripe painted down her back, often by accident. Usually Penelope runs away from him anyway because of his putrid odor or because of his overly assetive manner. As Penelope frantically races to get away from Pepe, he hops after her at a leisurely pace.
Pepe le Pew's voice was provided by Mel Blanc who played Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, Beaky Buzzard, Sam Sheepdog, Barnyard Dawg, Yosemite Sam, Taz Devil, and Marvin the Martian.
