Andrew Chesworth [three videos] > MOST CHARACTERS

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 87

Although I don't plan on covering all YouTube animation that include eligible characters, I do think Andrew Chesworth's short films are well-made enough to make it to the list. The fact that two of those animations got IMDb pages (apparently) further proves my point.

Fruitless Efforts: Kind of a weird, little animation, but it's funny. The main characters are fruits and a tree ("not actual objects"), but near the end, there are also a sentient house and stove.

The Brave Locomotive: I genuinly love this animation! The story is great, the characters are awesome, the ending is wholesome and the artstyle and animation style is outright beautiful! Go watch it.

Wild West: Definitely less "child-friendly", but you can see that inspiration was taking from this animation to create The Brave Locomotive. Eligible characters include the train and its whistle and wagons, a hat(?)-man, guns, a sack, a handcar and a carriage.

Videos: Fruitless Efforts: Fruit of the Womb (2008), The Brave Locomotive (2023), Wild West (2011)*

One Piece (one arc) > Homies

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 94

Appearing in the anime and manga during the Whole Cake Island arc from One Piece are the Homies! From what I've seen, I don't think I would want them as homies... BUT THEY DO LOOK AWESOME!

Furniture, houses, plants and foods (even geosphere components and atmospheric elements are alive) - you name it! They're ALL there!

Characters: Homies

Arc: Whole Cake Island

Manga series: One Piece (Japanese ver. 1997-, English ver. 2002-) | Anime series: One Piece (Japanese ver. 1999-, English ver. 2004-)

PS: this post excludes the tag "things", because there were too many other - more relevant - tags I had to include.

Adventure Time > BMO, Life Given Objects (and more)

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 84

Although Adventure Time features a couple more inanimate object characters (e.g. Neptr and Clock Face, which I won't cover), the most prominent one is BMO, a (multifunctional) sentient video game console system. BMO is one of the main characters.

Noteworthy, too, are the Life Given Objects. They are objects or plants that were given sentience by the Ancient Sleeping Magi of Life Giving (aka Life Giving Magus). The objects appear in several episodes across the series. Here's is a page that lists them all:

Life Given Objects | Adventure Time Wiki | Fandom

Character: BMO

TV series: Adventure Time (2010-2018)

On June 12 2024, it was announced that a movie is in development.

The Tick [three episode + two characters] > MANY CHARACTERS

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 110

This series, The Tick, surely has quite some varied eligible characters. Arguably, the most notable is the episode "Evil Sits Down For a Moment", where all sorts of furniture form the army of Ottoman Express, a lady that has had no friends in her life except for furniture - her own words [first two character images and first episode image].

Characters: Ottoman-Express-obeying furniture, including "the world's most comfortable chair", Eastern Bloc Robot Cowboy, Uncle Creamy

Episodes: Evil Sits Down For a Moment (1995), Tick vs. Europe (1996), Tick vs. Education (1996)

On top of that, there are two recurring characters that fit on this list, starting with a notoriously criminal man with a literal chair for head:

Character: Chairface Chippendale

Secondly, we have a recurring character, a sunflower, who recruits other plants by using his Plant Vitalizer to animate them:

Character: El Seed

Lastly, I'd like to mention:

Dean is one of Chairface Chippendale's henchman, gifted to the criminal for his birthday. He appears briefly in episodes "The Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale" (1994) and "Tick vs. Science" (1996).

The creepy buildings are from a nightmare that Tick experiences after being hypnotized by a mentalist, called Mr. Mental, in "The Tick vs Mr. Mental" (1994).

Characters: Dean, nightmare buildings

Unikitty! > MANY CHARACTERS

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 23

Remember how I put LEGO in the Honourable Mentions because it didn't really count? Well, related to the LEGO universe, there IS one show that DOES include quite some anthropomorphic object characters - among which is one of the five main character!

It's the Unikitty! Show.

And you can see on the cover of the series the main character I was talking about: Richard! He was definitely one of the best characters of the show, hahahaha. Just an old, grumpy 1×3 brick. Perfection!

TV Series: Unikitty! (2017-2020)

---- SPOTLIGHT CHARACTERS ----

RICHARD [and more]

Characters: Richard, Bim Bom, Toaster and Toast, Beatsby

Cuphead franchise > MANY CHARACTERS

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 11

Up till this point, I had not yet included spin-off video games (for example: spin-off Cars franchise video games). Cuphead, however, started as a video game, so it can't possible be ignored.

From human-like characters, to humanoid characters, to animal/plant characters, to (humanoid) object characters... There are many different kinds of inhabitants in Inkwell Isle!

Video games: Cuphead: "Don't Deal with the Devil" (2017), Cuphead: "The Delicious Last Course" (2022)

TV series: The Cuphead Show! (2022)

Novels series: Cuphead (2020)

Comic series: Cuphead (2020-)

Comic series: The Cuphead Show! (2022)

Aside from these, a couple more books have been published, such as "The Art of Cuphead" and Step-Into-Reading books.
