You're lying if you say you've never watched a cartoon and practically drooled from the attractiveness of one of the male characters, whether it be the Prince Charming or the guy who looks like he does cross-fit five times a week. OK, maybe you're just normal if you can't relate. But if you can, I'm sure you know that seeing hot cartoon characters is (almost) as exciting as when the actors are real humans. I’m not afraid to admit that I fully had a crush on Aladdin when I was growing up (which is obviously why I had to put him first on the list). I felt a tinge of jealousy when Ariel found her way to Prince Eric at the end of "The Little Mermaid" and even to this day I would love a real-life Johnny Bravo at my fingertips. It doesn’t end there. I know how ecstatic I would be if these animated characters were real human beings, and it sucks that we can only admire them from afar in our real, 3D, tangible world. They say you want what you can’t have, right? I guess we’ll just have to do the little bit that we can — admire from afar. So let’s do it together — let’s admire.
Aladdin
Not debatable. Not to mention being tall, dark and handsome, the guy has a heart of gold and already showed us his commitment to love. I’d let him take me on a magic carpet ride any day.
Tarzan
Abs. I’m done.
Johnny Bravo
If he wants to, ya know, come to life and take me out on a date sometime I wouldn't exactly mind.
Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast"
If only he was actually one of the good guys.
Prince Eric from "The Little Mermaid"
I’d go through an entire crazy escapade with a wicked sea witch so I could become human and be with him too.
Danny Phantom
I’m convinced it’s the way he's able to pull off his white hair.
Hercules
Calling all males: if you look like this, you know where to find me.
Professor Utonium from "The Powerpuff Girls"
He’d be that professor you’re too busy looking at to actually listen to.
John Smith from "Pocahontas"
It’s no wonder he’s a cartoon character — he’s too good to be true.
Prince Philip from "Sleeping Beauty"
PSA my alarm clock goes off at 6:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Just in case, ya know, he wanted to beat it and wake me with a kiss one morning.
Dimitri from "Anastasia"
Eyebrows on point, head full of hair, tan skin — I can already tell this one’s only going to get better with age.
Just think about how good life would be if these drawn fictional characters were actual living beings we could chase after — except Aladdin. Don’t even think about Aladdin; he’d be mine. In the meantime, I guess the next best thing would be to binge watch these cartoons and keep an eye out for the hot animated guys. I recommend drizzling melted dark chocolate on your popcorn.
