Childhood crushes and idolization of animated characters were very normal things! Popular animated characters were designed to appeal to our taste — bringing life to great tropes that would keep our interests engaged and excited to see more!

Today, in order to reminisce a little, we’ll be going through some of the more famous animated characters!

Although we initially promised only 15 animated characters, we’ve stepped up our game to include a couple of honorable mentions just to give you even more popular animated characters to reminisce about! We’ve also included some of the movies that these characters appear in (with clips included, even!). So, if you want, you can catch them in action!

01Mickey Mouse

Movie(s): Fantasia (1940), Fantasia 2000 (1999)

First Appearance: Steamboat Willie (1928)

Voiced by: Walt Disney, Jimmy MacDonald, Wayne Allwine

When it comes to admirable animated characters, Disney’s Mickey Mouse is pretty memorable! Even now, you can still seem on the big screen during the previews, whistling an all too familiar tune! He merited the top spot simply for that fame, even though, in all honesty, his time on the big screen had been pretty limited (with his biggest performance having been from Fantasia).

Creating an animation requires multiple processes and tasks to get that final result that we enjoy on the screen. Irrespective of the type of animations like stop-motion, sketch, computer, and others, all of them majorly falls under two main categories- 2D animation and 3D animation. The popular cartoons like Mickey Mouse, Tom & Jerry, and others that became an integral part of all childhood were 2D animations and with technological advancement and 3D animation in use, they are more like aged-veterans.

Toy Story was the first 3D animation movie and after that, there is no stopping. Though 3D animations are more interesting and engaging, they are fields where 2D animations work better. This article will help you to learn in detail about 2D 3D animation, their differences, uses, and other aspects.

Part 1 Part Definition Of 2D And 3D Animation

012D Animation

The traditional method of animation is termed 2D animation and it has been in use for a long time. A 2D animated video has multiple images in different positions which when moved quickly one after the other simulates a movement. The flipping of the images creates an illusion of movement. Earlier 2D animations were created using hands but now there is advanced computer software that can create these animations in just a few simple clicks. The term 2D means 2 dimensional which means that an image for the animation can be moved in two-dimensional space that is X-axis and Y-axis.

023D Animation

In simplest terms, a 3D animation is an animation that is created in three-dimensional space which makes the characters and objects appear realistic and lively. Thus, a 3D animation has height, width as well as depth. These animations are more complex and the process of creating them is totally different from that of 2D animations. Though 3D animations are used in different industries and platforms these days, majorly they can be found for creating movies, games, and cartoons.

Appearance	Appear as flat	Appear lively and realistic
Basic elements	It’s all about frames	The animation is all about movements
Axis	Images appear at X-axis, and Y axis	Objects appear at X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
Use and target audience	Used for social media sites, demos, animated whiteboard videos, and similar others.	Used for movies, cartoons, video games.
Use of software	Hand-drawn images or computer-generated images can be used.	Complex software is needed.
Cost	Cheaper than 3D animations	Expensive
