New Celebrity Sightings

There are actually quite a few cartoons out there that feature cartoon characters that drive, own or have something to do with a van and many of them are tuned in by millions a day. Some of these are past successes and haven’t been around in a long while and some of them are made just for the enjoyment of the smaller kids. Here are the ones that came into my head first.

Mystery Machine

This has to be the most famous one out of all of the cartoon vans that have ever come into existence. In fact this really kicked it all off for the world in terms of the van being in a cartoon. 1969 is the year in which Scooby Doo was first aired making it a whopping forty years old this year! The show is of course still running and apparently the need for teenage mystery solving gangs has not fallen at all in the forty years. The monster always seems to be someone in disguise, where are the real monsters!. I wonder if the gang have the van on Van Leasing

The Classic Postman Pat

This is more of a stop-motion feature than a cartoon but it has to be mentioned as it is certainly the most famous van to be made by somebody here in Britain It was first screened in 1981 and a newer series was made for 2006. It is really aimed at the pre-school children and I can proudly say I used to watch these over and over again when I was younger. Why is Postman Pat so good, well simply because he has to be the only postman that can get stuck in the rain, snow, sleet or even help out people and yet still deliver on time, and he doesn’t go on strike!

Cheap vehicle contracts has really got to be something that many of these cartoons had thought of when they purchased the vans.

Part two of this will actually feature toons from the Family Guy and South Park series, which has the best van. Small van leasing is key for the next part.
