Classroom---Super Mom

A:Hello everyone, welcome to our English Classroom, I am… B:Recently I watched a reality Tv show named Super Mom, and there is a girl named Jiaozi, who is the daughter of Bao Wenjing, really loves a cartoon character——Peppa Pig. It reminds me my childhood actually. C:So today let’s talk about some typical American cartoon characters which are popular around the world, and did you remember them still? A: Bugs Bunny ”What's up, doc?" Bugs Bunny is, perhaps, the most recognizable and famous cartoon character. Looney Tunes were first created as lead-ins to feature films. Bugs first appeared as a rabbit with no name in 1938 in "Porky's Hare Hunt." Tex Avery later named him Bugs Bunny after the infamous West Coast mobster. Decades later, Looney Tunes cartoons became a Saturday morning staple. Bugs Bunny is still tops. B: Charlie Brown Introduced on TV in A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965, this comic strip staple became a holiday tradition. The kid who never kicks the football, whose dog is more popular than he is and who has a crush on the red-headed girl steals our hearts every year with a variety of cartoon specials. C: Popeye Like many TV cartoon characters, Popeye began life as a comic strip. Then in 1933, he starred in a Popeye the Sailor. His catchphrases include, "Well, blow me down!" and "I eats my spinach!" His bulging forearms, squinty eyes, and a staccato chuckle are recognized by many generations. A: Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse represents Disney in all its forms. He started life in black and white in 1928's Steamboat Willie, the first synchronized sound cartoon.Mickey Mouse was first voiced by Walt Disney, himself, then later byJim MacDonald and Wayne All wine. Mickey Mouse isn't just a cartoon character, he’s an icon. B: Donald Duck As Mickey Mouse's cynical sidekick, Donald Duck was always my favorite. It wasn't the raspy voice or fashionable duds, but his eye-rolling attitude and exasperation.Donald Duck made his debut in Walt Disney's Silly Symphony cartoon segment, "The Wise Little Hen," in 1934. His most memorable turn may be as Scrooge McDuck in Mickey's Christmas Carol, released in 1983. C: Homer Simpson Homer Simpson is known throughout the world. Having been on TV for over 20 seasons, this patriarch is not the father who knows best, but he certainly tries.Homer Simpson is based on creator Matt Groening's father, who is also named Homer. And if you look at Homer's profile, a bit of his hair and his ear form the initials "MG." A: Winnie the Pooh When you hear the name "Winnie the Pooh," you may think of the honey-colored bear who wears a red shirt.This little bear who started as a doodle in a beloved children's book has been a thriving franchise for Disney since they bought rights to him and his woodland friends in the 60s. Winnie the Pooh has starred in many cartoons and specials, both on TV and in feature films. B: Woody Woodpecker Another anti-hero, Woody Woodpecker lives to cause trouble. His most famous trait is no doubt his cackling, stuttering laugh.Walter Lantz created Woody Woodpecker. Although Mel Blanc, then Ben Hardaway, originally voiced the character, Grace, voiced Woody Woodpecker from 1948's Banquet Busters through. C: Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry always chase each other, torment each other and generally try to defeat the other. Though Tom has the upper hand more than, say, Sylvester, he still has yet to make a meal of Jerry. Tom and Jerry have had many incarnations, beginning with the Academy award-winning MGM shorts in the 1940s to the most recent episodes on Cartoon Network. A: The Powerpuff Girls Girl power times three. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup keep Townsville, USA safe from evil while dealing with the pressures of kindergarten. The visual style of The Powerpuff Girls sets it apart, though, along with the abundance of tongue-in-cheek humor. The Powerpuff Girls first premiered in 1998 and can still be seen on Boomerang. B: Superman Superman is the ultimate superhero because of his unerring loyalty to doing well. Like his other DC Comics friends, Superman starred in Super Friends and Justice League of America. His own series have been Superman and Superman: The Animated Series. But who could forget The Superman/Aqua man Hour of Adventure? C: Spider-Man Spider-Man is the everyman superhero. He started out as the geek next door and was transformed into a mega-strong, mega-agile dude. Spidery first starred in 1967's Spider-Man, then came Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Spider-Man: The New Animated Series. A: Batman Can you imagine a time when Batman wasn't the Dark Knight we know now? Hard to believe the many transformations this superhero has seen through the years, especially on television. The caped crusader has had several of his own cartoons: Batman: The Brave and the Bold.The Batman, Batman Beyond, Batman: The Animated Series. B: SpongeBob SquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series and media franchise. It is currently one of Nickelodeon's and Nicktoons Network's most-watched show. In 2007, TIME named it one of the greatest television shows of all time.[1] Although its original network is Nickelodeon, SpongeBob is now broadcast around the world. It was created by artist, animator and former marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, and is produced through his production company, United Plankton Pictures, Inc. It is the second longest-running Nicktoon, next to the Rugrats. C:Okay, that’s it. See you next time. See you~
