About This Quiz
Mickey Mouse is probably easy. Homer Simpson too. Those silhouettes are pretty obvious.
But what about the rest? Because there are 25 characters here, and once you get past the super famous ones, this gets way harder.
Some of these are cartoon legends. Bugs Bunny's in here. So is Pikachu. Others are way more obscure—like Snagglepuss or Underdog. You might know the name, but can you actually pick them out from just a shadow?
A few of these characters have such specific shapes that you'll nail them instantly. Others? You're gonna stare at the silhouette and draw a complete blank. Is that Stimpy or some other random character? Who knows.
You grew up watching cartoons and probably think you can recognize any character from a mile away. Time to find out if you actually can or if you've been overestimating yourself this whole time.
