Several animated cartoons have featured possums, often interchangeably referred to as opossums, as memorable characters. These cartoons span various genres, from family-friendly adventures to comedic tales.
Here is a list of notable cartoons that included possum characters:
| Cartoon Title | Possum Character(s) | Species |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Age: The Meltdown | Crash and Eddie | Opossum |
| Wild Kratts | Jill, Joey, Lil' Jack, Jojo, and Jillybean | Opossum |
| Over the Hedge | Ozzie and Heather | Opossum |
| Elinor Wonders Why | Alejandro Possum | Virginia opossum |
These characters often contribute to the humor, heart, or educational aspects of their respective shows and films. For instance, Crash and Eddie in Ice Age: The Meltdown are known for their adventurous and somewhat reckless nature, while Ozzie and Heather in Over the Hedge embody the art of "playing dead." The opossums in Wild Kratts often highlight their unique behaviors and adaptations in the wild, providing an educational element for young viewers.
