Amazing Animated Moms Trivia

By Paula Green

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8, and there is nothing like expressing your love for that special lady in your life. So this month, we will pay tribute to those amazing animated moms who have entertained us over the years on TV and in the movies.

The cartoon The Flintstones entertained us with two great moms – Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble in the television realm. Then, moving out of the Stone Age and into another Hanna Barbera classic, we were amused by Jane Jetson in the futuristic show The Jetsons.

For those fans of blue hair, you’ll love watching Marge Simpson in The Simpsons – her beehive hairdo is unique. Another cartoon mom with some wild-looking locks is Didi Pickles from The Rugrats.

A few other memorable TV animated moms include – Bubbie from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Mama from Berenstain Bears, Helen Morgendorffer from Daria, Linda Belcher from Bob’s Burgers, Lois Griffin from Family Guy, Mrs. Turner from Fairly Odd Parents, Francine Smith in American Dad and Peggy Hill from King of the Hill.

We have watched numerous animated mothers in the movies. Who could forget Bambi’s courageous mom in the film Bambi? In a tear-jerking moment, the mother deer is killed by an unseen hunter known as Man.

On to happier Disney moments – in Lady and the Tramp, Lady gives birth to a litter of four puppies, three daughters who are identical to Lady and one son who looks exactly like a Tramp. Another Disney film that featured numerous dogs was 101 Dalmatians; the proud mom of multiple pups was Perdita. From dogs to cats, The Aristocats had a mother named Duchess, and in The Lion King, Simba’s mother is Sarabi.

Some memorable animated Disney moms include – Queen Leah from Sleeping Beauty, Queen Arianna from Tangled, Queen Elinor from Brave, Eudora from The Princess and the Frog, Mrs. Davis from Toy Story, Sina from the film Moana, and Mother Rabbit from Robin Hood.

In the Pixar animated films – The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2, “supermom” Helen Parr is known as Elastigirl because she can stretch her body like rubber. A few other classy cartoon ladies include Antoinette from A Tale of Despereaux, Felicity Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox, Queen Lillian from Shrek 2, and Ted’s Mom from the Dr. Seuss film The Lorax.

Since we have explored the world of remarkable cartoon mothers, we must now delve into this female query if you know the answers, “Mums” the word because it’s time to get a little trivial.
