Babble is helping listiness make a comeback. That’s good news for those of us who grew up worshipping David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace.

Their latest masterpiece of listy greatness (with video): The 50 Most Adorable Cartoon Characters. Kudos to writer Jen Chaney for not just skimming through the most recent Pixar movies. We haven’t thought of Gleek or Atom Ant in years. We also appreciate that the list is blissfully Smurf-free. And while we must take issue with some of the numerical order (Porky Pig beats Kipper by ten points? Really?), we’re touched that #1 wins for having more than just a sweet face and tail.

Nice to see, too, that the super-cute cartoon characters our kids are growing up with today – like Blue and Boots – are waaaay smarter than say, um, Babs Bunny. Is anyone ever going to apologize for eighties TV?
