Aladdin (from the Disney movie) all the way. Goofy _and_ adorable. ---

I should probably mention some of the other cartoon and anime guys I like. I always thought Keith from _Voltron_ was cute. Also Rick Hunter from _Robotech_. Then I realized that the average anime pretty boy is just not as interesting as the supporting characters, even if they look rather odd at times. Hence my crush on Rock Lee from _Naruto_. OK, so he looks like a weird teenage version of Bruce Lee in green spandex. That’s kind of the point. Plus I like his personality. You can tell I’ve put way too much thought into this. :o BTW I also think Naruto looks cuter after the timeskip. :o :o I also have a thing for Wolverine. I’m not sure why. ---

If we’re including video games, Sophitia from Soul Caliber. ETA: Oh yeah, and the Princess from Voltron. ---

When I was a child and Disney’s Robin Hood movie came out, I was deeply attracted to the animated fox Robin Hood. I knew it was wrong, but damn! ---

I remember sporting many a boner when reading the Elfquest series. The free sexuality of the elves combined with their lithe bodies was too much for this adolescent boy. Also, this was the first time that I realised that I was attracted to men. ---

> [@Gala\_Matrix\_Fire](#): > > When I was a child and Disney’s Robin Hood movie came out, I was deeply attracted to the animated fox Robin Hood. I knew it was wrong, but damn! I watched this again pretty recently, and I _love_ his voice. Pretty sure that’s part of it. To be honest, I never really minded whether a character was “furry”. If they were well-animated and had a good personality, they were attractive. Gadget, for one; I have a thing for grease monkey girls in general. 😃 In general, though, I find myself attracted to almost any character voiced by [Tress MacNeille](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0534134/) or more recently [Grey DeLisle](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0217221/). It’s less that it’s them and more that the characters I like tend to be voiced by them. Gadget, Babs Bunny, Mandy of Billy & Mandy (if she weren’t, you know, like 8 years old), Frankie from Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends (I don’t know Frankie’s age, but she can drive so I say she’s legal), among others. ---

Tress MacNeille is fantastically talented and, in the few pictures I’ve seen of her, wicked cute. It just doesn’t always carry over to the characters she voices. ---

Three pages, and no one’s mentioned Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane? _Seriously_ impure thoughts. Personally, I’ve always found Daria wayyy hotter than Quinn. Their mom, Helen, gives me a MILF chubby, too. (Thanks, **Sons of Anarchy** , for introducing that little phrase into my vocabulary).
