Carbon Costume Cartoons
Sherri and Terri
Sherri and Terri are twin sisters in Mrs. Krabappel’s class that nobody, not even their parents, can tell apart. They like to give others, especially Bart Simpson, a hard time. Like many twins, they speak a secret language and wish they could combine into a single body.
Grell Sutcliff
In Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji), Grell Sutcliff is a grim reaper who initially works as Madame Red’s butler. After he becomes… disgruntled with this position, he takes over and dons his signature red coat. Grell is equal parts flamboyant and sadistic, and has an unhealthy fixation with Sebastian Michaelis, to his dismay.
Hiro Hamada
In Disney’s Big Hero 6, Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter) is a robotics prodigy. With his robot Baymax and his team of do-gooders, they set out to foil a criminal plot.
Sebastian Michaelis
In the manga and anime adaptation Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji), the demon Sebastian Michaelis has agreed to help the young Ciel Phantomhive in exchange for his soul. In the meantime, he acts as Ciel’s butler with vim and vigor.
Sailor Moon
Usagi Tsukino is a carefree schoolgirl who can transform into Sailor Moon, the leader of the Sailor Soldiers and the most anime character of them all. With her teammates, she must defend Earth against the forces of evil. After dressing up, put the finishing touches on your cosplay with this Sailor Moon makeup tutorial.
My Neighbor Totoro
In My Neighbor Totoro, 10-year-old Satsuki and 4-year-old sister Mei Kusakabe move into a new house in the countryside that might be haunted. Now they’re neighbors not just with Totoro, but with soot sprites and a multi-legged cat-bus as well!
Maleficent
Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) is the self-proclaimed mistress of all evil. After being snubbed from the royal christening of Princess Aurora, she curses her to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep. Talk about an overreaction. To replicate the makeup, check out this Maleficent makeup video tutorial.
Aunt Gayle
Aunt Gayle, voiced by Megan Mullally, is the sensitive and unstable sister of Linda Belcher. Her hobbies include painting animal butts and pining after men. She stops by for a visit every now and then, and is seen wearing large blue glasses and a fanny pack.
Laverne from Day of the Tentacle
For those who never played the mid-90’s LucasArts graphic adventure game, Day of the Tentacle (a sequel to Maniac Mansion), let me be the first to say: you’re missing out, man. This game was LEGIT. A diabolical, disembodied purple tentacle tries to take over the world, portable toilets are equipped for time travel, and there’s a head-banging roadie name ‘Hoagie’. Trippy space-cadet and med-school student, Laverne, is one of the three main characters. She flutters about the screen in a gangly way with her wonky eye and wacky giggle. And eventually…she saves the day. Snag her style – complete with scalpel and nerdy protagonist-pal, Bernard.
