Carbon Costume Cartoons
Billy Joe Cobra from Dude, That’s My Ghost!
Billy Joe Cobra (voiced by Darren “Beardyman” Foreman) is one of the two main protagonists in the Disney cartoon series, Dude, That’s My Ghost! along with Spencer Wright.
Billy is the ghost of a (former, by technicality of death) popstar, who still holds a passion for both music and the fame scene in general, enjoying the hold he still has on parts of it.
While he had human colored hair and skin when he was alive, his color scheme upon death turned pale and blue, which left him with light blue hair, in the same style as it was when he was living. Like Spencer, he has typical cartoon black circles for his eyes.
His usual outfit is a orange button-up shirt with yellow stripes across it, a thin long red tie, a green half-jacket over top, standard blue jeans, and orange high-top shoes.
Chrollo Lucilfer’s York New Disguise from Hunter x Hunter
Chrollo (voiced in Japanese by Mamoru Miyano and in English by Robbie Daymond) is the founder and current leader of the Phantom Troupe is the anime/manga Hunter x Hunter.
The outfit I’ve chosen for this article is the disguise that he wears in the York New arc when he’s infiltrating to steal Neon Nostrade’s nen ability, though he does have several other outfits that will be featured in another article later on.
Chrollo has soft grey eyes, and while he usually wears his hair slicked back, for this outfit he wears it loose and down, with a greenish grey ribbon covering the cross tattoo he has on his forehead. He wears the bauble earrings that he usually has on for this, but the rest of it is a pretty standard suit jacket and pants over a white shirt, black tie, and black oxfords finishing off the look.
Spencer Wright from Dude, That’s My Ghost!
Spencer Wright (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is one of the two main protagonists in the Disney cartoon series, Dude, That’s My Ghost! along with Billy Joe Cobra.
Spencer has a huge passion for filmmaking, and a fascination with creating and watching horror movies. He is one of the few people that can see Billy, as he and his friends have an item that Billy owned when he was alive that allows them to interact with him.
He has light brown loosely spiked hair, and cartoon typical black eyes. The shirt he wears is a baseball style tee, white with red sleeves and a ghost iron-on image on the front. He has standard blue jeans, green and orange sneakers, and carries around his camcorder that he uses for his movies pretty much everywhere he goes.
Bibi
Bibi is a supporting character in Poko, a children’s stop-motion television series. She is a young girl who appears in the second season. She is Poko’s friend and occasionally visits him for play dates. Like Poko, Bibi has a magic ability. Her magic sticker book can turn the sticker of an object into that real object.
Jet Propulsion from Ready Jet Go!
Jet Propulsion (voiced by Ashleigh Ball) is the main character of the PBS Kids show Ready Jet Go! Jet is an alien from the planet Bortron 7 who relocates to Earth with his parents to study its customs. Once they settle in Washington state, Jet befriends Sydney, Sean, and Mindy. Jet has red hair and wears a blue puffy coat with blue pants and grey boots. To make his boots look a little more like they do on the show, you can wrap a red boot lace around them to give them their signature pop of color.
Misumi Nagisa from Futari wa Pretty Cure
Misumi Nagisa (voiced by Lara Cody in the American dub) is a high school student and lacrosse player in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure. Nagisa gains the power to turn into the Black Cure, a warrior who fights alongside Yukishiro Honoka‘s alter ego the White Cure. The Verone Academy’s uniform is very straightforward; pair the outfit with a messy ginger wig to transform into Nagisa. If you want to emulate her Black Cure look, you might have to decide how much effort you’re willing to put in to get closer to her appearance on the show. To start, you can deconstruct a purple mess shirt by cutting the arms and midriff off so you can layer it under a black short-sleeved crop top. Then, don a pink belt over a black ruffled tulip skort and pull on black arm and leg warmers. You can hot glue a white bow to the front of your shirt and use iron-on heart patches to add details to the costume. Lastly, if you’re up for a little extra DIY, you can cut and glue ruffled organza lace to add the finishing touch to her look.
The Once-ler from The Lorax
The Once-ler (voiced by Ed Helms) is one of the key characters in the 2012 adaptation of the Lorax made by Illumination Entertainment.
Once a faceless character in the original version of the book/movie, Oncie takes place at the heart of the story this time around, and we know more about his motivations behind creating the thneed as a product.
He has short and fluffy brownish-black hair, blue eyes, and a light smattering of freckles across his face. While he does have a few outfits throughout the movie, at the start we see him in this rather monochromatic set. He wears a light grey hat, a v-collared white long sleeved shirt, a grey vest over top, two toned striped pants, pointed toed shoes, and occasionally green gardening gloves.
Andrea Beaumont from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Andrea Beaumont (voiced by Dana Delany) is a character in the Batman cartoon movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. The one-time fiancee of Bruce Wayne, Andrea eventually becomes the villain Phantasm. If dressing like Andi before her descent into darkness, you’ll need a coppery wig and a sophisticated appearance. A sunhat and white gloves paired with a chic dress will easily get the job done. If your look aligns more with Phantasm, you’ll want to start with a black body suit and pair it with grey gloves, a mask, and a hooded cloak. You can choose to find a replica mask, or opt for a more generic skull face covering. Likewise, finding her scythe glove might not be possible, but you can achieve a similar look by removing the top from a costume scythe and carrying it with you between your fingers.
Alice from Pandora Hearts
Alice (voiced by Ayako Kawasumi) is part of the main trio of characters in the anime/manga Pandora Hearts.
She is the chain, B-Rabbit, that Oz has formed a contract with, but her main part of the story is to figure out her own past and where she came from. Despite her abilities, she’s also just an all-around menace, and loves to eat meat and tease Oz and Gil.
Alice has very long reddish brown hair that spikes out like ears on the side, and purple eyes. Her outfit consists of a long red and white coat with a giant white bow over top, a white button-up shirt underneath, a very short black skirt, and white and black lace up boots.
Princess Mindy from Spongebob Squarepants
Princess Mindy (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) is the daughter of Neptune in the animated series SpongeBob Squarepants. She first appears in the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie, and later in a few episodes. She is good friends with both SpongeBob and Patrick. Princess Mindy is a mermaid, so the most important part of her costume will be the mermaid skirt. From there, some green body paint, a blue wig, and the right accessories will complete the look.
