14 Ugly Cartoon Characters –
There’s an old saying that beauty’s in the eye of the beholder. However, when it comes to cartoons, beauty’s in the eye of the drawer. Unlike famous movie stars, cartoon characters never age or change and always look the same. A good-looking cartoon character will be hot forever. Unfortunately, that means unattractive characters will never grow out of it. In other words, these are ugly cartoon characters.
To be fair, each ugly character is a legend and icon in their own right. Their unique and unusual appearance adds to the appeal. These cartoon characters don’t rely on their looks to make it through the world of animation. They’re often confident, funny, and charming. Regardless, they’re still ugly cartoon characters.
