00:00Never trifle with the affections of a woman, until next time.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo!
00:06And today we're looking at the most alluring or attractive female characters to appear in animated cartoons.
00:12We'll be saving anime characters, or those primarily known for feature films, for another day.
00:18I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
00:23Number 20. Alisa Mazza
00:26Gargoyles
00:27Tall, dark, and gorgeous, Alisa Mazza was a capable moral compass for the titular Gargoyles.
00:34Mazza was an officer with the New York Police Department and easily held her own throughout all of the dangerous situations in which she found herself.
00:42This capability was a perfect complement to Mazza's physical attractiveness.
00:47An adventurous and fearless spirit that goes along perfectly with her exotic beauty and charismatic personality.
00:53You have a point.
00:54Alisa Mazza was an animated female character upon which we could easily crush,
01:00while at the same time respecting her skill sets at every step of the way.
01:04I know. But that's the way it is.
01:07Number 19. Veronica Lodge
01:10The Archie Show
01:12It's a question that's been asked for decades now. Betty or Veronica?
01:16Well, truth be told, we think both are great.
01:19However, there will always be something special about that spoiled little rich girl, Veronica Lodge.
01:25Oh, Archie! I can hardly wait to see what you have for our special entertainment!
01:31Her raven tresses certainly drive us wild, as does her seemingly never-ending array of fashionable skirts and dresses that highlight her figure.
01:40Veronica is largely known from the Archie comic series.
01:44But she was also brought to life in a wonderful animated fashion back in the late 60s with The Archie Show.
01:49The best part about Veronica here was the inevitable song and dance routine she would perform alongside her friends during every episode.
01:57Oh, yes! That's it! Uh-huh!
02:01Number 18. Felicia
02:03Darkstalkers
02:05This video game franchise possessed a blink-and-you-missed-it animated adaptation back in 1995,
02:11giving fans the opportunity to see the Catwoman Felicia animated in a whole new way.
02:16The franchise's occasionally violent and sexualized tone was muted for the series,
02:21but this took nothing away from Felicia as a fan favorite.
02:25Better fight with a dirty shirt!
02:28Her feline appearance was adapted wonderfully for the show,
02:31retaining her innate cuteness in a way that felt like a natural sidestep from the Darkstalkers video game universe.
02:38This show may not be that well-remembered, but Felicia remains a standout member of the Darkstalkers roster.
02:45You're all so lovely!
02:47Number 17. Anastasia Siserovna, aka Baroness
02:52G.I. Joe, a real American hero.
02:55Thanks, but I have other plans.
02:59We just love a woman in uniform, even one as bad as the Baroness.
03:04The villain-born Anastasia Siserovna may work for the terrorist organization known as Cobra,
03:09but we don't think any jury of her peers could convict this beauty of anything except for good fashion sense.
03:16How else could one explain away the skin-tight black leather, alluring glasses, and perfectly quaffed hair?
03:22We truly wish that the Baroness would put her expert intelligence and technical acumen to a more noble cause,
03:28because we just love to watch her work that old black magic.
03:32No, my former commander. Not treason. It is destiny.
03:38Number 16. Foxy Love, Drawn Together
03:43Girl, Foxy Love is gonna teach you how to open up your mind. And your mouth.
03:48The cast of Drawn Together were collectively inspired by a variety of classic animated franchises.
03:55Foxy Love was a parody of the Scooby-Doo-slash-Josie-and-the-Pussycats tropes from the 1960s and 70s,
04:01albeit in an exaggeratedly oversexed manner.
04:04Foxy is fun-loving and free, exploring every sexual avenue available to her without regret or shame.
04:10Meanwhile, the status of her fox tail and ears varies from episode to episode,
04:15but some fans maintaining love is actually part fox.
04:19And if that's true, aw heck, who are we kidding? We love Foxy any way we can get her.
04:24I ain't scared of nothing except dad alone.
04:27So unless you wanna marry me, which I would like very much, I will take you anytime.
04:32Number 15. Princess Adora, a.k.a. She-Ra
04:36She-Ra, princess of power.
04:39For the honor of Grayskull.
04:43She-Ra, She-Ra.
04:53The decision to make Adora the twin sister of Adam, Prince of Eternia, was one that we admire.
04:58After all, it would have been easy to make She-Ra simply He-Man's girlfriend,
05:03without defining characteristics of her own.
05:05Instead, this princess of power is able to stand on her own two feet and lead her own series,
05:12doing so with a plum energy and beauty to spare.
05:15Adora's long blonde hair and fit physical form look great in her flowing white dress and cape,
05:21but the outfit never quite feels like an afterthought to She-Ra's fierceness in battle.
05:25If anything, we can simply admire Adora's legs while she's using them to kick all kinds of ass.
05:31Is that really such a bad thing?
05:34Oh, something strange is happening.
05:37Number 14. Emma Frost, the X-Men franchise.
05:42You wanted a new queen, now you have her.
05:47Ice Queen Emma Frost, be thy name.
05:50This Marvel character has just got to be one of the company's most attractive femme fatales full stop.
05:56Emma Frost is often seen clad in shimmering white with outfits that leave little to the imagination.
06:02Frost seems to like it that way too,
06:04since this powerful telepath is fond of utilizing every advantage that's at her disposal.
06:09She's sometimes known as the White Queen too, which is a fitting moniker,
06:14since everything about Emma Frost feels regal, cold and distant, yet impossible to resist.
06:21We'll always bow our heads and pay some collective respect to this queen.
06:24All right, just get here with a jet fast.
06:28My pleasure.
06:29Number 13. Betty Rubble, the Flintstones.
06:32Speak to me, honey, say something.
06:35Eight ball in the corner pocket, Fred.
06:38Consider this next entry a sort of animated Sophie's Choice,
06:42another water cooler argument for the ages.
06:46Wilma Flintstone or Betty Rubble?
06:48Both are beautiful, funny and deal with some truly boneheaded men in their lives.
06:52In fact, many fans of the Flintstones have wondered exactly what Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble did
06:58to land themselves such a pair of certified babes.
07:01All kidding aside, we know that both the Rubbles and the Flintstones possess loving family structures,
07:06but there's just something special about Betty Rubble's tittering little laugh
07:10that gives her the edge over her best friend Wilma.
07:13Ooh, men.
07:15So I'm a man. What can I do about it, resign?
07:18Number 12. Power Girl, the Justice League Unlimited.
07:22Friends call me Taya. Are you a friend, General?
07:26Wally Wood was a generational talent and one of the finest comic book artists to ever live.
07:32However, we think that Wood's frequent forays into horror and adult-themed comics
07:36influenced his original drawings for Power Girl back in the 1970s.
07:41A little more mature than you, but I see your point.
07:45Wood himself admitted in an interview with Comics Bulletin
07:48that he kept drawing Power Girl's bust bigger and bigger
07:51in order to prove that nobody was checking his work.
07:53The design ultimately stayed with Kara Zor-El.
07:57She's Superman's cousin, you know, retaining a body built for sin.
08:01The form-fitting leotard certainly helps things along,
08:04but Kara, or Power Girl, or Galatea, would still be a knockout in a trash bag and flip-flops.
08:10Just saying.
08:11Never been fitter.
08:13Number 11. Taranga Leela, Futurama.
08:17A female leader? Fry, shut up.
08:20Yes, Captain.
08:21Have you ever heard of the adage that maintains that people who are in a romantic relationship
08:26somehow possess a glow-up, which makes them more appealing?
08:30Now, we're not sure if that's true,
08:32but we do know that we love seeing Taranga Leela and Philip J. Fry as a couple.
08:37Sure, this beautiful mutant just happens to be a cyclops,
08:40but we think Leela's eye is beautiful,
08:42as is her sense of adventure, determination, and loyalty to her crew.
08:46She's tough and capable,
08:48but able to be emotionally available to those close to her.
08:52This is particularly true when it comes to her relationship with Fry,
08:55and it's here where we find Leela to be the best version of herself.
08:59Happy birthday, Leela.
09:01I got you a card, but I guess I kind of lost it.
09:04That's okay.
09:05I don't really like cards.
09:06What I'll remember is our time together.
09:09Number 10. Erotica Jones, Stripperella.
09:13Erotica!
09:19Hey, here's a question.
09:23Do you really need to utilize the superhero moniker of Stripperella
09:27when your given name is already Erotica Jones?
09:30We're not sure, but what we do know is this adult animated series,
09:34from Stan Lee, pushed some serious boundaries back in the day.
09:38Pamela Anderson voiced the titular hero, pun intended,
09:42and did so with her usual self-effacing sense of humor.
09:45Anderson knows her brand,
09:47and Stripperella fits in nicely with many other of the actress' projects,
09:52a fun mixture of overt sexuality and innocent fun.
09:55I've just started a new charity called Animals Need Universal Support, or ANUS.
10:00Stripperella even featured some not-so-innocent nudity,
10:04although this adult content was censored during its original television airings on Spike TV.
10:09Number 9. Cheetara, Thundercats.
10:13We admit that there's probably a lot to unpack
10:16when it comes to our collective childhood attraction to Cheetara from Thundercats.
10:20After all, native Thundarians possess both humanoid and feline physical traits.
10:25But if loving Cheetara is wrong, then dammit, we don't want to be right.
10:30Well, if Lion-O's not going to do anything, I certainly am.
10:34It's unlikely that anyone, animal, vegetable, or mineral,
10:38could resist this warrior's athletic build and figure-hugging wardrobe.
10:42Beyond this, however, Cheetara's loyalty, honor, and sense of humor make her even more appealing.
10:48Once we got to know her in the show, she may be a badass with a staff,
10:52but Cheetara frankly captured our hearts right from the word go.
10:56Er, make that THUNDER!
11:04Number 8. Heloise Nurse, Animaniacs.
11:07Hello, Nurse!
11:10The name Heloise Nurse may not immediately ring a bell for the casual cartoon fan,
11:15but fans of Animaniacs likely know exactly of whom we speak.
11:19Yakko and Whacko Warner were huge fans of Hello Nurse,
11:23a bombshell medical professional with brains and a body.
11:27The lovesick siblings continually go gaga for Hello Nurse whenever she sashays on screen,
11:33delivering their tagline that harkens back to the vaudeville comedy days.
11:37Hello Nurse, or make that HELLO NURSE, isn't just a pretty face,
11:44but a welcome recurring gag from a show that was chock-full of great recurring gags.
11:50Number 7. Janine Melnitz, The Real Ghostbusters.
11:54We got one!
11:56There's no denying that Annie Potts brought both lovely looks and deadpan humor
12:00to the character of Janine Melnitz in the Ghostbusters movies.
12:04But kids of a certain age likely weren't sure how to feel when the character was animated.
12:09That's because Janine, in The Real Ghostbusters, is…
12:12how can we put this?
12:13She's sexy as hell.
12:15Maybe it's the cool glasses, maybe it's her adorable Brooklyn accent.
12:24Oh, who are we kidding?
12:26It's definitely the miniskirt Janine wore to work every day.
12:29The producers of The Real Ghostbusters may have wanted Janine softened
12:33and toned down for later seasons, but we'll never forget how we felt about the OG.
12:38Number 6. Storm, The X-Men Franchise.
12:42Storm, Mistress of the Elements, commands you to release that child.
12:48They say that a classic never goes out of style.
12:51And that phrase definitely applies when it comes to Ororo Munroe, otherwise known as Storm.
12:56This venerable member of the X-Men team possesses a beauty that never seems to fade,
13:01an eternal appeal to generation after generation of fans.
13:05It doesn't matter if this regal mistress of the elements is rocking a cool mohawk
13:09or a massive head of white hair.
13:11Storm is seriously beautiful and badass.
13:14Her power as a mutant superhero is matched only by her empathy as a friend.
13:19And she remains a shining light as one of Professor Charles Xavier's brightest pupils.
13:24I am Storm, Mistress of the Elements.
13:28Surrender the boy, or face my fury!
13:33Number 5. April O'Neil, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Franchise.
13:38You're… you're Turtles.
13:40Yep, so we are.
13:42I can't handle this.
13:44There's been a bevy of different looks for April O'Neil over the years
13:48since she first debuted in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
13:51She remained a vital and anchoring presence throughout them all.
13:55However, serving as an emotional compass, friend, and confidant to her extended Turtle family,
14:00this devotion makes April impossible to resist.
14:03A beautiful character with depth and pathos to her behavior and motivations.
14:08It doesn't matter if she's ink and paint on a page
14:11or designed with fiery red hair and a yellow jumpsuit.
14:14April O'Neil is the best.
14:17Really?
14:18Name one person who can stop me.
14:21I'll name four!
14:22Cowabunga!
14:24Number 4. Catwoman, Various
14:27The varied universe of DC Comics' animated properties
14:31possesses a laundry list of potential entries for this list.
14:34Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were both shortlisted for inclusion.
14:38But we just gotta go with Catwoman.
14:40Her moral ambiguity makes her intriguing, for starters.
14:43But there's also plenty of, well, let's say, obvious reasons why Catwoman is so hot.
14:48Crawl back in your litter box, creep.
14:51Rawr!
14:54Her insane physical abilities as a burglar and supervillain
14:57give her physical appearance an appealing athleticism.
15:00Additionally, her penchant for all things skin-tight and leathery
15:04make Catwoman sort of a no-brainer when it comes to devastatingly gorgeous cartoon characters.
15:10Outstanding.
15:11Number 3. Lois Griffin, Family Guy
15:15Ah, perfection.
15:16There have been some seriously hot cartoon moms over the years,
15:20but at least for many fans of Family Guy, Lois Griffin takes the cake.
15:25This is another example of Lois' husband, Peter,
15:28punching way above his weight class when it comes to nabbing someone so outside of his league.
15:33That said, the pair can be fun together when they're written as such.
15:37And Lois is refreshingly in charge of her sexuality.
15:41This is a woman who's clearly enjoyed herself in the past
15:45and who continues to enjoy sex within her marriage.
15:48Lois Griffin has been the object of lust for many characters within the fictional Family Guy universe.
15:54And for the record, we totally get it.
15:56I love you.
15:58I love you too, Lois.
16:00Number 2. Wonder Woman, Various
16:03You're now under the control of my golden lasso.
16:06It will force you to tell us the truth.
16:08The reigning queen of the DC Comics universe,
16:11Wonder Woman has appeared in multiple forms of media throughout the years.
16:15From live action to animation,
16:17she was an original super friend,
16:19guest-starred on shows such as Superman,
16:21and continues to be a constant within the DCAU.
16:24Her look has retained much of its original design as well.
16:27From the red, white, and blue attire,
16:29to her boots, bracelets, and lasso,
16:31Wonder Woman is one of those stately icons of beauty
16:35who feels almost unapproachable in her perfection.
16:38Her unwavering commitment to justice is to be admired,
16:41just as her undeniable physical assets can distract even the most focused evildoer
16:47from their devious tasks.
16:48Said simply, Wonder Woman is a true original.
16:51Long may she reign.
16:53Aren't you cold in that outfit?
16:54Not really.
16:56Of course not.
16:57The princess doesn't get cold.
16:59The princess doesn't even sweat in the fire pits of Tartarus.
17:02I do too sweat.

17:20Number 1. Daphne Blake – The Scooby-Doo Franchise
17:27The swing in the 60s during which Scooby-Doo Where Are You originated
17:32certainly seemed to influence the visual flair of Daphne Blake.
17:35This member of Mystery Incorporated was designed to echo the sort of flirty
17:39and fun teenager archetype echoed by such actresses as Tuesday Well
17:44and leaned into the decades more permissive atmosphere.
17:47As a result, Daphne dresses in a stylish and pretty manner
17:51with brightly colored clothes that enhance her figure.
17:54The influence of Blake's mini-skirted look continues to be seen today as well
17:58since Daphne, alongside Velma, is a popular cosplay subject at Comic-Cons all around the world.
18:05Well, if that's blood, that's a clue.
18:09Are there any female cartoon characters that get you hot under the proverbial collar?
18:14Shout out your favorite respectfully in the comments.
18:17What makes us like we are anyway?
