Step away, Britney, move over, Brad; we have even more iconic-verging-on-legendary personas from the ‘90s! And while you’d rightfully guess that we are perchance talking about The Spice Girls, we are, in fact, thinking about characters that came from another world entirely. The world of animation! And yes, ‘90s cartoons were basically oversaturated with memorable personalities, and this is our list paying a long overdue homage to them.
Some of these iconic characters existed solely in the decade yet found their way to immortality by being referenced and cherished even today. Take, for instance, Tommy Pickles from The Rugrats – a true hero of fun and flagbearer of everything imagination. Then there’s Arnold, from Hey Arnold! with his football-shaped head and wisdom beyond his (y)ears. Of course, some of the iconic animated characters merely warmed up in the ‘90s, and their lives still span well into the 21st century. Take Bart Simpson – a forever ten-year-old (he’d be 38 this year!) whose shenanigans and street wisdom are still as relevant and inspiring as way back when. And how about Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants? Haven’t you noticed that you started heavily relating to this cartoon character like, a couple of years ago? A truly time-defying and famous cartoon character, mister Squidward is!
Of course, we’ve only mentioned a couple of everyone’s beloved ‘90s cartoon characters, and if you’d like to see more of them, just scroll down below and meet our other heroes! Once you are there, give your love to the ‘90s character you still love the most, and be sure to show this article to anyone sharing the same ‘90s nostalgia as you do.
