Cartoon characters that start with Y are so hard to come up with! I am listing a bunch of Disney characters that start with Y as well as Pixar, Nickelodeon and other cartoon characters. If you like playing games like Scattergories where you often have to come up with things for categories that start with particular letters or if you’re a parent trying to think of what toys your kiddos have for show and tell then this list might be for you!

I focused mainly on more major characters because between movies and T.V. there are so many cartoon characters out there! To organize it I broke the list into 3 categories: Disney, Pixar, and Other.
