Carbon Costume Cartoons
Tino Tonitini from the Weekenders
Tino Tonitini is the main character in the Toon Disney animated series, The Weekenders. He usually will introduce himself at the start of each episode as well as the following plot. Tino is a silly, strange individual, who does dorky things such as playing air guitar or laughing maniacally. Although he has his own sense of humor with his sarcastic wit. At the end of the episode, Tino turns to the camera to deliver the moral of the story. His trademark goodbye is “Later days!” Use the white and navy blue ribbon to replicate the stripes on the shirt, and affix with fabric glue, tape, or thread.
Jenny Simons from South Park
Jenny Simons (voiced by April Stewart) is a female student on the animated show South Park. Jenny is best friends with Lola and co-chair of the list-making committee. Leslie has dark hair with bangs and wears it pulled back with a dark purple headband that matches her mittens. She finishes the look with the standard black shoes most South Park characters wear, dark blue pants, and a light blue jacket.
Ginger Snap

Her favorite activities include investing, tinkering with machinery, and baking cookies. She also has a pet chipmunk named Chocolate. Her best friend is Strawberry Shortcake, but she’s also friends with Orange Blossom. Compared to the other berry girls, Ginger Snap is considered more of a tomboy. Sew the pink ribbon around the hat and the bottoms of the jeans. Then use the yellow fabric paint to make the squiggle in the middle.
Millie Larsen from South Park
Millie Larsen (currently voiced by April Stewart) is a supporting character on the animated series South Park. Millie speaks with a strong southern accent and is depicted as one of the popular girls in the company of Red, Lola, Heidi, and Bebe, among others.

Lemon Meringue
Lemon Meringue is a major character in Strawberry Shortcake. While her name sounds sour, she’s actually very sweet! A prim and proper fashionista, Lemon knows all the latest trends. She even has her own salon, where she does hair and manicures. Her favorite activities include giving fashion advice and chatting with her friends (the other berry girls). In the 2009 series, she has a puppy named Henna.
Zoé Lee from Miraculous Ladybug
Zoé Lee (voiced by Deneen Melody) is a supporting character on the animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. The younger half-sister of Chloé Bourgeois, Zoé is originally from New York City. In the fourth season of the show, Zoé also becomes the wasp-themed superhero Vesperia. Zoé’s civilian clothes evoke a similar color palette to her superhero uniform. She wears yellow pants and a black leather jacket. Her blonde hair has a bright pink streak on the left side. As Vesperia, her hair is black in the front on both sides instead. Adults will likely find it easiest to emulate Zoé’s day-to-day appearance, while any pint-sized superheroes can don a Vesperia costume made in their size much more easily.
Jeluka Couffaine from Miraculous Ladybug
Jeluka Couffaine (voiced primarily by Reba Buhr) is a character on the animated show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir..

Heidi Turner from South Park
Heidi Turner (voiced by Jessica Makinson) is a character on the adult animation series South Park.  Heidi is part of the popular girls clique along with Red, Bebe, Nichole, Annie, Nelly, Jenny, and Lola. To recreate Heidi’s green jacket with red collar, you may need to do a little layering; by using a red dickie collar under a green jacket, you can achieve a similar look. Pair it with a knit beanie with a flower on it and you’ll be well on your way to South Park Elementary.
Captain Carter
Captain Carter is a character in Marvel’s What If…? streaming on Disney+. She stars in the first episode of the animated series, titled “What If…Captain Carter were the first Avenger?” In this universe, Peggy Carter receives the super soldier serum instead of Steve, thus becoming the hero dubbed Captain Carter.

Hayley Atwell, who portrays Peggy Carter in the movies, voices her animated counterpart. Spoilers: Hayley makes a cameo in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness as a live action Captain Carter.
