League 2: The Animated Face of Nickelodeon

Animation frees us from the constraints of the physical world.  It allows us to explore the realm of the impossible.  Or, if you're Nickelodeon, the realm of the really weird.  A man made of "powdered toast."  A wallaby working as a phone-sex operator (look it up).  A dog and a cat living together. A sponge living in a pineapple, under the sea no less. MASS HYSTERIA.

Yet there was a sweetness to it, too.  We learned valuable lessons from Doug's interactions at school.  The Rugrats taught us to watch out for your fellow babies.  We carry these teachings with us.

We've picked our eight favorite animated Nickelodeon characters below.  Who will draw victory, and who will be rubbed out?  We'll see!
