Little yellow men from despicable me. Minions are not only yellow men from the cartoon. Promo frame for the movie "Transformers"

Cartoon creators often put glasses on their characters. Thus, they complement the unique image of cartoons. In our selection, we present 10 cartoon characters that cannot be imagined without glasses.

1 Simon, Alvin and the Chipmunks

The cartoon tells the story of three singing fidget chipmunks who now and then get into trouble. Simon is the most reasonable and intelligent of the whole trinity. And glasses in a round frame emphasize the seriousness of the character.

2 Professor Seleznev, "The Secret of the 3rd Planet"

Professor Seleznev, his daughter Alice and Captain Zeleny set out across the galaxy in search of unknown animals for the Space Zoo. Reasonable and intelligent Professor Seleznev wears stylish square glasses. It is this accessory that forms the image of a business person.

3 Carl Fredricksen, "Up"

The main character, Carl Fredriksen, survived the death of his beloved wife, but managed to keep love and romance in his soul. Left alone, he decides to realize the dream of his beloved. Carl raises the house with a million balloons and flies to Paradise Falls. According to the cartoon, the hero is in old age. The authors emphasize this with thick-rimmed glasses.

4 Mom, "Adventures in Prostokvashino"

The story of a boy, his dog Sharik and the cat Matroskin won the hearts of the audience a long time ago. The most charismatic hero is the boy's mother: somewhere strict and demanding, but at the same time, creative and vulnerable. Square glasses in a thick frame do not spoil the features of her face, but only add zest to a unique image.

5 Mr. Peabody and Sherman, "The Adventures of Mr. Peabody and Sherman"

Dog Mr. Peabody is a scientist, inventor, Nobel laureate and genius. With the help of a time machine, he and his adopted son Sherman travel to different eras. The hallmark of father and son is an ageless trend - glasses in a round frame.

6 Linda, Rio

Linda is a fragile girl with a huge heart. According to the story, she saved a rare blue macaw from death and found a true friend. Large round glasses accentuate the beauty of her green eyes. The color of the frame is in harmony with the shade of the outfit.

7 Rabbit, "Winnie the Pooh and all, all, all ..."

Some funny stories constantly happen to the heroes of the Soviet cartoon. The most educated of all ˗ Rabbit. He is trying to teach Winnie good manners but love for honey is stronger. Round glasses, a button-down shirt: in a word, an intellectual.

8 Edna Mode, The Incredibles

A cartoon about a family with super-powers, which is trying with all its might to live an ordinary human life. But every now and then you need to rein in some villain. A striking cartoon character is Edna Maude, an eccentric fashion designer for superheroes. What are these round thick-rimmed glasses that emphasize the twinkle in her eyes.

9 Sadness, "Puzzle"

A story about an ordinary schoolgirl Riley, whose behavior is determined by 5 emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust. Emotions guide all of Riley's actions and help her cope with problems every day. Sadness wears large round glasses, behind which a thin, vulnerable nature is hidden.

10 Baby elephant, "38 parrots"

Cartoon characters never sit still - all the time they come up with some kind of occupation for themselves. Only the Baby Elephant behaves calmly and judiciously. Square glasses, again, emphasize his efficiency and experience.

Submarine

Frame from the cartoon "Yellow Submarine"

The legendary Liverpool four The Beatles have many recognizable screen incarnations, the silhouettes of musicians, their hairstyles, stylized album covers of the group cannot be confused with anything. Not the last place in the collection of artifacts of the history of the Beatles is the painted yellow submarine. Along with her famous passengers and their leader, young Fred, the submarine marched against the Blue Evils, who had taken over the musical land of Pepperland. Armed with the hits of Lennon and McCartney, the boat breaks through the resistance of the villains and restores peace and harmony in the magical land.

Billy Low

Shot from the film "The Game of Death"

The film The Game of Death, which was not completed during the life of Bruce Lee, was subjected to a merciless revision that completely destroyed the original concept of the actor. Many scenes were rearranged, some of the scenes were "played out" by Lee's doubles, and from the martial arts master the protagonist turned into an actor who is pursued by a crime syndicate. One thing has remained unchanged for sure - the famous yellow-and-black tracksuit of Bruce Lee's character, an image that still roams the screens to this day. In terms of popularity and recognizability, this outfit may well compete with the costumes of Darth Vader, the Joker or Indiana Jones.

Margelat

Shot from the film "Yellow Rose"

The Soviet film distribution was not particularly in a hurry to acquaint its viewers with the novelties and hits of foreign companies, especially those that belonged to the so-called capitalist countries. Instead of Hollywood and the BBC, our compatriots had to be content with the work of Eastern European studios, so the Romanian “Yellow Rose” with Florin Persic as a fearless fighter for justice was firmly registered in our box office. Otherwise, everything here is very close to Dumas and other authors of adventures: the oppression of the rich, the uprising of the common people, the mysterious hero, who is known only for his trademark - a bud left in the place of another feat.

Stanley Ipkiss

Shot from the film "Mask"

The protagonist of Chuck Russell's sci-fi comedy The Mask can hardly be blamed for the scarcity of his wardrobe. During the film, Jim Carrey's hero, who was captured by an old mask, changes two dozen outfits. However, a bright yellow suit topped with a magnificent wide-brimmed hat of the same ripe banana color is number one in the hero's wardrobe. The picture that opened Cameron Diaz to the world and elevated Kerry to Olympus, for the first time introduced the audience to the mysterious Loki and revived the comedy genre, The Mask is firmly associated with the hero’s green complexion and his lemon jacket.

pikachu

Frame from the cartoon "Pokemon: Mewtwo vs Mew"

The Pokemon universe is so vast and intricate that even such a simple question as the name of the first full-length film about these funny creatures is controversial. For a point of support, we took the collection "Mute against Mew", which included three paintings about the cartoon characters of Japanese children. There was also a place in this almanac for Pikachu, one of the most beloved characters in the universe. The yellow hero has become a kind of symbol of the franchise, attracting new fans to its ranks to this day. In addition, the yellow mouse (yes, Pikachu is a mouse) has become a real idol of Japanese pop culture.

Bride

Shot from the movie "Kill Bill"

If images from other people's films are borrowed by others, then this is theft and plagiarism, if Quentin Tarantino pulled off the concepts, then this is homage and tribute to the classics. Let corporate lawyers deal with the rights, but comparing the image of Beatrix Kiddo, dressed in a yellow tracksuit, with the hero of Bruce Lee in the "Game of Death" cannot be avoided. Yes, Tarantino does not hide it, his bride is as furious, invincible and beautiful as the beloved hero of films about martial arts. In addition to this, Uma Thurman is also beautiful, and yellow color suits her very well.

Taxi

Shot from the movie "New York Taxi"

In the story of the color yellow in cinema, it is unusually difficult to get around a taxi, and therefore the Luc Besson franchise. But the trouble is that in France taxis are not painted yellow, so we had to choose New York cars from the Hollywood remake of New York Taxi as our heroes. The movie, I must say, turned out to be terrifying - neither Queen Latifah nor Jimmy Fallon are suitable for roles in a big movie, to put it mildly, and although the tape recaptured the money invested in it at the box office, there was no continuation. In the absence of acting, viewers can enjoy the yellow car races - and that's bread.

ivy

Shot from the film "Mysterious Forest"

Before finally going crazy, M. Night Shyamalan was known as the most promising director of Hollywood at the beginning of the century. Captivating stories, phenomenal ability to create a scary atmosphere, incredible characters and fantastic somersaults - it all ended in "Mysterious Forest", the last film where Shyamalan is still "cake". The main characters of the tape live in a small settlement, which is surrounded by a forest with monsters. It is believed that only yellow scares away monsters, and therefore the inhabitants wear lemon-colored cloaks. But even this attire does not save when the blind Ivy goes to get medicine for her lover in a nearby village.

yellow bastard

Shot from the movie "Sin City"

The gloomy "Sin City" by Robert Rodriguez allows rare characters to stand out from the black and white range with some kind of color spot, but not a maniac named Yellow Bastard. In the third big chapter of this film comics, policeman Hartigan meets his Nemesis, a criminal whom he once mutilated, but did not finish off. Now empowered to kill with impunity, the Yellow Bastard threatens to kill the only person Hartigan cares about. This means that someone must stop evil, even at the cost of their own lives.

Bumblebee

Promo frame for the movie "Transformers"

Giant robots choosing Earth as the site of their destructive confrontation is, of course, great, but even the most cynical viewer of Michael Bay's Transformers first of all dreamed of having a friend like Bumblebee (okay, some first dreamed of Megan Fox, but then definitely about Bumblebee). Judge for yourself - a robot that turns into a powerful fashionable car, unable to speak and communicating only by songs through the radio, fearless and ready for self-sacrifice. Perfect friend! Is it worth mentioning that he is also cute yellow?

The Simpsons

Frame from the cartoon "The Simpsons Movie"

We simply could not forget about the most famous animated family. Why the Simpsons are yellow, viewers have been asking for decades, but no one will give you a definite answer. But there are several versions, and you can stick to any of them. At the very beginning, the author of the animated series, Matt Groening, said that he categorically did not like the pink color that his first sketches with Homer and Bart were painted with, so the color was “temporarily” changed to yellow. Then the creators began to say that the lemon coloring of the heroes had become their “trick” and it would be a crime to refuse it. There is also an assumption that yellow was chosen as the brightest color in the palette that existed then on old TVs. It was supposed to attract spectators clicking remotes in search of entertainment. And it did work!

Are there superheroes in yellow suits? Of course, as much as you want! In the Marvel Universe, the X-Men mutants have been dressed in the same outfits with yellow accents for a while, and their DC competitors had a whole Yellow Lantern order. But all this still remains on the pages of paper comics, only small details seep into the cinema, and the Silk Ghost from Zack Snyder's Watchmen has to be recognized as the “yellowest” superhero. And although the black in the outfit of the heroine Malin Akerman is no less than yellow, the flashy banana color compares favorably with her gloomy colleagues who have taken on the mission of saving the world.

Spongebob

Shot from the movie "SpongeBob in 3D"

The underwater world of director Paul Tibbitt is by no means as gloomy, gray and monotonous as we are shown in the documentary chronicle of diving. The animated universe, where the sea sponge, crab, starfish, squirrel and plankton rule the show, is much more attractive, which is why the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants has such an army of fans. This year, the square yellow hero, along with his friends, got out of the television prison on the big cinema screen and made a splash. The yellow stupid hero is not just loved, he is praised and revered! Thank Bob! Yes captain!

That's why we especially love animators, so it's for their boundless imagination! Who else could come up with so many weird but such cool characters? :)

Thanks to Eduard Uspensky, from whose pen in 1966 a wonderful children's book "Crocodile Gena and his friends" was published. Most of all, of course, we are only interested in one friend of Gena - Cheburashka. It is known that the image of the "unknown little animal" was copied from the writer's old toy, similar to either a bear or a hare. We do not know how the little readers of the book imagined this creature before the release of the cartoon. But thanks to the artist Leonid Shvartsman, Cheburashka turned out the way it is: incredibly cute!
