Individual examples:

#-L

• Adventure Time:
  • Finn, and for good reason.
  • Flame Princess, Finn's Tsundere love interest, is adorably moe when she's happy.◊
  • Princess Bubblegum, especially when she's 13◊.
  • Gunter and all those penguins are supremely adorable at all times. Too bad the cuteness doesn't last.
  • Prismo, all because of his Adorkable personality and his relaxing, laid-back South Asian accent, plus his adorable reaction◊ to Jake saying he loves him.
  • Finn and Jake's allies, BMO and Flambo, are certainly adorable, especially the latter. Helped by their cute accents.
• Amphibia: Marcy Wu is a clumsy, Endearingly Dorky, and Badass Adorable nerd, who despite having some deep flaws that can result in major mess-ups with very serious consequences for herself and those around her, has a massive heart, a bubbly personality, and an insatiable curiosity. This is a girl whose first reaction to meeting a 1000-year-old 30-foot-tall newt monarch from another dimension was to see if she could fit herself into his pockets, and then give him a small roblox pen as a gift of friendship! Bonus points for being The Woobie, making it impossible to not want to hug her.
• American Dad!: Francine's cheerful, perky attitude and sugary-sweet voice make her come off as utterly adorable.
• American Dragon: Jake Long:
  • Kara, the oracle who experiences negative (and sometimes downright horrifying) visions of the future without respite but still manages to be a Genki Girl by cherishing the moments when she isn't having visions.
  • Girly Bruiser Rose, after her Heel–Face Turn early in Season 2. As she and Jake get more cute dating moments, she learns some heartbreaking truths about her origins and gets the occasional funny line about her Tyke Bomb upbringing.
  • Silver, the Good with Numbers mermaid with an Ironic Fear of water.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl One Shot Characters Joshua and Tricia, due to both their Sickeningly Sweethearts moments early on and the sense of sadness and confusion Joshua feels when their relationship is temporarily ruined by Cupid's Arrow.
• Animaniacs: Although Dot was advertised as the cutest character on the show, there's a few that fit this bill better:
  • Wakko, with his derpy face and his tongue sticking out most of the time.
  • Skippy Squirrel who's basically an adorable squirrel with Puppy-Dog Eyes.
  • Pinky, who's as goofy as he is adorable and charming.
  • Mindy qualifies for being a cute, innocent Cheerful Child.
  • The alien babies from "Clown and Out". Imagine The Greys as babies, but in adorable cartoon style and wearing baby accessories such as diapers and hair bows.
  • Squit has an adorable smile.
• Atomic Betty:
  • Betty herself is very adorable. She looks absolutely darling in her civilian outfit, and those moments where she's in love or blushing around Chaz or Dylan are just so cute.
  • Noah can be quite adorable as well, given his shy personality, crush on Betty, and frequent misfortunes.
• Avatar: The Last Airbender:
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender:
    • Ty Lee. Peppy and childish with large eyes.
    • Toph Beifong is very Moe in appearance, although more of a Badass Adorable when you consider what she's capable of. As in, "Kick your ass to oblivion and then some with a bunch of rocks without even bothering to look at you" Badass Adorable. Doesn't deter a lot of fans from viewing her as Moe all the same, though.
    • Zuko, especially during the episode "The Western Air Temple" where he tries to join Team Avatar and it doesn't go so well at first, resulting in him yelling, "Why am I so bad at being good!" There's also the fact that his temper stems more from him being the Woobie than him being a jerkass for the most part, and he can be very socially awkward.
  • The Legend of Korra:
    • Opal with her big eyes, sweet demeanor, and awkward first impression toward Team Avatar (especially Bolin) makes her absolutely adorable.
    • Asami Sato, despite being able to fend for herself, still tends to be perceived as this anyway due to consistently standing out as one of the kindest, most caring, and most selfless people throughout the series. Her extremely attractive looks (and voice, courtesy of Seychelle Gabriel) yet down-to-Earth personality add to this, as well as her seemingly never being able to catch a break, between her father betraying her, losing her company, Mako cheating on her and then breaking up with her, her father turning good and then dying right after that, etc. And yet despite the amount of Being Good Sucks she's hit with, she never once falters from being a selfless individual. It's no wonder the fandom grew a protection instinct over her.
    • Aang's three grandchildren, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, can be considered this as well. Jinora tends toward the more serious Adorably Precocious Child side of the trope, while Ikki and Meelo are more Keet.
• The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes:
  • This version of The Wasp, due to being the character with the most change from the comics. Her general appearance is adorable, her personality is hilarious, and her ability to Cherry Tap opponents into surrender adds to that. There's a reason she's the Ensemble Dark Horse of the group.
  • Ant Man, as they avoid the mistakes many make in writing him by portraying him as an Adorkable Science Hero who gets excited at the prospect of mapping insect DNA and, unlike everyone in SHIELD and even some of the group, is a Wide-Eyed Idealist who really wants to help the super-villains they fight and rehabilitate them into upstanding citizens.
• The Backyardigans: All five of the main characters qualify, but Uniqua and Austin stand out the most due to their energy and shyness respectively.
• Betty Boop: Betty may well have been the original progenitor of the animated Moe character. The target audience of her cartoons was adult men rather than children, and she made popular the large eyes and other child-like facial features that are common on a lot of modern Moes. Also, she was voiced by Mae Questel, who at the time was very popular due to her cutesy voice.
• Bluey: The Heeler sisters, Bluey and Bingo, are absolutely adorable. Virtually all of the kindergartners are this, too.
• Boo Boom! The Long Way Home: Boo-Boom; an adorable looking Cute Mute boy.
• The Boondocks: Jasmine, the adorably precocious, saucer eyed, idealistic daughter of Tom.
• Carmen Sandiego shows the title character as a child in various flashbacks, and she's absolutely adorable.
• ChalkZone has a reputation for being this in comparison to its fellow Nicktoons, but the central trio of Rudy, Penny, and Snap exemplify this better than anything else in the series.
• Codename: Kids Next Door:
  • Numbuh 3/Kuki Sanban. Unflappably cheerful Genki Girl with an oversized sweater and a huge plushie obsession. Even her Cute and Psycho side could be this to some.
  • All of Sector V, if not the entirety of the Kids Next Door. They've all got their own way of being cute.
• Constant Payne: Amanda Payne is a cute, perky Action Girl who just wants to join in on her dad's adventures. Moments like her pouting over not getting to drive the car to school exemplify it.
• The Crumpets: Ditzy is a sweet and very adorable-looking Crumpet sibling. She is a naive and optimistic girl whose balloon head doesn't hurt her cuteness when floating from her body.
• DC Super Hero Girls (2019):
  • Bumblebee stands out from the team for being incredibly adorable and sweet.
  • Batgirl is definitely this, especially as a child.
  • Flash qualifies whenever he's in costume. His outfit working at Sweet Justice makes him look so sweet with a pink apron on!
  • Aqualad has many fans think him as adorable, especially since his design has many fans think of Steven Universe, or even Spike.
  • Wonder Woman is this in her more Adorkable moments.
• Doug: Doug. He's so adorably sweet!
• Dragon Tales: Cassie is an adorable, kind and generous Shrinking Violet.^note literally — She actually shrinks if she is upset or ashamed. It's very rare to see her acting selfishly, and even when she does her reasons are understandable enough that the audience can empathize with her. It's telling that in one episode, she finds that her talent is being a good helper by making friends with a sentient pond — showcasing her empathy and kindness.
  • The rest of the main cast (Max, Emmy, Enrique, Ord, Zak, and Wheezie) could also be seen as this.
• DuckTales (2017):
  • All of the kids — Huey Duck, Dewey Duck, Louie Duck, Webby, Lena, Violet, Gosalyn, June and May. Their childish personalities are endearing, their friendship and brotherhood with each other is heartwarming, and the designs for them invoke the image of cute children onto anthropomorphic ducklings.
    • Boyd is an Adorkable Nice Guy in a cute bow tie who especially looks good when placed next to the likes of Mark Beaks, Doofus Drake, and Dr. Akita.
  • Some of the adult characters manage to be this, namely Donald, Launchpad, Fenton, Fethry, Della, and Drake. As of "The Fight for Castle McDuck!", Pepper definitely counts big time.
• Ed, Edd n Eddy:
  • Ed, the ditzy, but lovable oaf with a playful and innocent personality.
  • Edd: the kind, Adorkable, (nearly) always misblamed guy.
  • Nazz, being a sweet, cute, blonde girl-next-door.
  • Jimmy, a combination of The Cutie, Prone to Tears, and The Woobie... at least for people who don't see him as The Scrappy.
• Elinor Wonders Why has Elinor herself, although all of the other kids are also this. In Elinor's case, it's because her curious, bubbly, and optimistic personality, as well as her character design, is so adorable, especially when she dons a sad or confused look◊.
• Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: A number of characters. Especially Mac.
• Futurama:
  • Come on... if you were Leela, you know you'd date Fry in a second. None of that pussyfooting around. It's all his heart and the fact that he is so very, very, very lonely, being the oldest human in the world by a very long shot. Plus, he's nice to people who don't give a rat's ass about him, for no good reason at all. What's there not to like? Intelligence? Overrated! In fact, he's most adorable in his good-hearted loopiness.
  • Leela. How can you not hear orphanage stories and not want to give her a hug? One eye or two, who cares?
  • Kif. With the big head, large eyes, small nose, girlish voice, and the borderline Woobieness, he's downright adorable!
• Generator Rex: Even though he looks and acts more like a typical action hero, Rex could count. His socially inept mannerisms make him come off as Adorkable alongside his All-Loving Hero traits.
• The Ghost and Molly McGee: Molly McGee, a bubbly ray of sunshine whose first reaction to meeting a crotchety ghost haunting her is to hug him and say that they're now best friends forever.
• Glitch Techs: Miko is absolutely precious!
• Gravity Falls:
  • Mabel Pines.
  • Dipper Pines, Mabel's utterly Adorkable twin brother. Try not to "d'awww" at the two of them in elementary.
  • Mabel's friend Candy also fits this, without a doubt.
  • Lil' Gideon intentionally invokes this.
  • .GIFfany, despite the fact that, or perhaps because, she is so crazy.
  • Pacifica has some surprisingly adorable moments in "Northwest Mansion Mystery".
• Green Lantern: The Animated Series: Aya is the onboard-AI of the main characters' ship in the show. Early in the series, she constructs herself an adorable physical body, and her personality is largely defined by her child-like curiosity, innocence, and vulnerability, and is a frequent source of social awkwardness humor. Later in the series she is also an example of Break the Cutie when she falls in love with Razer.
• The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy:
  • Billy can be adorable when he's not being disgusting.
  • Irwin.
  • Mandy subverts and defies this; she looks like a cute little girl (albeit a very angry one), but is so cruel and apathetic that it makes her far from endearing. At least, that was the point...
  • Nergal Jr. Although, he's initially a bit of a Yandere...
• Harvey Beaks: The show is full of cute characters, but the standouts would be Harvey and his circle of friends, especially Fee and Foo, Claire, Piri Piri, Dade, and the eponymous character.
• Invader Zim: The titular Zim, GIR, Dib, and Gaz are insane and sociopathic, but just look at the adorable fan art of them.
• Jimmy Two-Shoes:
  • Heloise. She is quite twisted, but even her Evil Laugh sounds cute.
  • Jimmy. He's just adorably sweet!
• Justice League Unlimited: The episode "Kid Stuff" has Wonder Woman being de-aged from a hot chick into an adorably attractive little girl.
• Kaeloo:
  • Kaeloo, due to her cuteness, adorkableness and occasional woobieness. Especially in the moments when her idealistic expectations fail and she's left upset by it.
  • Eugly, a shy but very kind bunny girl who gets picked on a lot and pretty much works for her slave-driving sister, also gets this treatment.
• Kim Possible: Shego turns Moe when she gets hit by an attitude ray, which changes her personality to the opposite of her current one. That lady on the Dark Action Girl page? That's her. Seriously◊.
• Littlest Pet Shop (2012) has plenty of these:
  • Blythe Baxter is an adorable and kindhearted t(w)een girl with big blue eyes.
  • Penny Ling is a purple-and-white panda who is very sweet, sensitive, and Prone to Tears.
  • Sunil Nevla, a mongoose who is a Lovable Coward with a thick Indian accent.
  • Buttercream Sunday is an adorably energetic little rabbit.
  • Buttercream's best friend Sugar Sprinkles is a lovable kitty who likes to call everyone cute. However, do not get on her bad side.
• Looney Tunes:
  • Tweety Bird, like Betty Boop above, was also an early progenitor of this trope. Big-headed, baby-faced^note According to Urban Legend, his facial appearance was modelled after an animator's embarrassing baby photo., eyelashes, Innocent Blue Eyes, high-pitched voice, Baby Talk... which makes his outsmarting of Sylvester all the more hilarious to watch.
  • Pussyfoot, an adorable Cute Kitten with Innocent Blue Eyes. Chuck Jones has discussed the efforts to maximize the kitten's sheer adorableness.
  • Playboy Penguin, a Cute Mute baby penguin who brings out rare protective reactions from Bugs Bunny, quite against his will. His cute crying also helps.
  • Depending on who you ask, Marvin the Martian. He has a small stature, large, expressive eyes (with no face otherwise), is known for his polite and fey attitude, and in some incarnations, he's The Chew Toy. One person on Tumblr even straight-up called him an example of this. Isn't that lovely?

M-Z

• The Mask:
  • The Mask is wild, genuinely insane, and a lazy troll but he acts like a little kid such as getting excited over trivial things, loves his dog Milo with all his heart and is very friendly and polite towards people, and has a very sweet nature as well which helps bring girls over to him despite he can be too strong at first which makes him very much like a cute little kid.
  • Eve is much more stronger than The Mask, wild, genuinely insane, and a very man-hungry woman but like The Mask, she is very sweet, kind, nice, and friendly with her falling in love with Stanley straightaway with her having hearts in her eyes and making an alien face because of Stanley doing one earlier and very much polite as well as she takes Stanley to the Coco Bongo and after whipping on the floor with him takes him to top of the roof which she notices that he's shaking which he said he's frozen in fear to which Eve decides to warm him up by hugging him like a teddy bear and she decides to call him her screwball rabbit which makes her very adorable because of the fact that she decides to call him that as a way of showing her love for him.
• Metalocalypse: Toki is so childlike and endearing, you just can't help but want to hug him because he's probably the most sentimental of the group. And then there's his little song "Underwater Friends." However, he's also a good example of Beware the Nice Ones... According to Uncyclopedia, Toki is an "archetypal moëkko character." (The Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut is significant in this context.)
• Mickey Mouse (2013):
  • Just because this is a Denser and Wackier take on Mickey doesn't mean he can't still be cute. Along with his cute design, he's still an idealistic, kindhearted guy like always, but it's a bit easier to sympathize with him considering how much comic abuse he goes through in this series. Also, his romance with Minnie is always heartwarming to see.
  • Minnie is equally cute. She's sweet, innocent, and friendly as always, and her love for Mickey is incredibly wholesome.
  • Mickey's sentient scooter, which appears in episodes such as "Road Hogs," "Amore Motore," and "Croissant de Triomphe." It has a simple and adorable design, and it speaks in "beeps." Minnie's female scooter in "Amore Motore" is also adorable due to its Tertiary Sexual Characteristics and higher-pitched "beeps." It's not often that Sentient Vehicles are so huggable.
• Miraculous Ladybug:
  • Marinette/Ladybug, of course. She's a Cute Clumsy Girl that's awkward around her crush, gets easily flustered and stammers when she receives any attention in school, and frequently blushes and assumes the worst when things are going bad for her.
  • Adrien/Cat Noir. Most of the fandom agree that Adrien as Cat Noir is one of the cutest things ever, due to his funny personality, his silly puns, and especially his cat-like antics such as purring, running on all fours (occasionally), or allowing Ladybug to pet him the way one would pet a cat.
  • Sabrina is something of a jerk, but she really is pretty sweet and supportive when she's not directly aiding in one of Chloé's schemes. With all the suffering she endures from Chloé, you really want to give the poor thing a hug.
  • Marinette and Adrien's classmates (particularly Rose, Mylene, Nathaniel, Marc, etc.) are also endearing as well.
• Molly of Denali: Molly is an adorable ball of energy. Tooey also counts due to him being very sweet and sensitive.
• Moral Orel: Orel Puppington might be this in the main series but he is definitely this in Beforel Orel. Definitely an optimistic Cheerful Child AND Adorably Precocious Child.
• Muppet Babies (1984): Baby Beaker◊. Good golly! While all the baby versions of the Muppets are pretty adorable, between Baby Beaker's over-sized pajamas, mop-top hair, and higher-pitched meeping, he is about the cutest and most huggable out of all of them.
• My Adventures with Superman:
  • The show has what's likely the most adorable Clark Kent ever put to animation, especially when it comes to his flustered interactions with Lois that seem to be straight out of a Shoujo manga or anime. The contrast between his meek, nervous behavior as a civilian and the more confident image he projects as Superman drives it home even further, and unlike earlier incarnations of the character, his personality as Clark isn't just an act he puts on to hide his identity.
  • The show's version of Lois Lane is pretty endearing herself. While she's much more confident and outgoing than Clark, she still has a shyer side when it comes to dealing with her growing feelings for Clark and she can get easily flustered around him.
• My Life as a Teenage Robot:
  • Jenny Wakeman, the title "teenage robot". Her insecurities and innocence are quite endearing, her design is quite cute, and she combines the trope with Badass Adorable to boot.
  • Melody, the sweet and adorable-looking android daughter of a mad scientist, as well as Brad's love interest. She's a lot like Jenny in many ways. Too bad they didn't get off on the right foot.
• Nature Cat:
  • Fred/Nature Cat appears to be a bit goofy, but he's very endearing thanks to being Adorkable, enthusiastic, brave, clumsy, and is easily Prone to Tears. His close friendship with Hal also counts, whether it be showing him affection or doing things to keep him happy.
  • Hal is easily excitable, innocent, and enjoys playing with his own chew toys. He's also very friendly with anyone he meets.
  • Daisy and Squeeks also have their moments. Daisy is a sweet, intelligent bunny who loves gardening, and Squeeks is a small, excitable mouse who loves to go adventuring with her friends.
  • Anytime Nature Cat and his friends are young as seen in some flashbacks. Even Ronald manages to be seen as this.
  • From the Christmas special "A Nature Carol", Tiny Tim is so adorable each time he is seen.
• OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: KO is a walking catalogue of the trope, being a cheerful, weird little badass.
• Phineas and Ferb:
  • Candace Flynn can be this to the boys who love her crazy awesome Genki Girl attitude.
  • Phineas is such an adorably Nice Guy.
  • Isabella could weaponize her cuteness if she so wanted to. In-universe too, as Phineas has to recalibrate his cute detector so it doesn't mistake her for Meap.
• The Powerpuff Girls: The innocent and, erm, bubbly Bubbles is easily the most adorable of the trio, but Blossom and Buttercup certainly count as well.
• The Proud Family:
  • Penny has an adorable design, an adorable voice, and an adorable personality in general considering how sweet and well-intended she is.
  • Radika is a sweet and caring girl who is curious about everything. She is also a fan favorite for being a good example of Muslim representation.
  • The Chang Triplets are all Cute Bookworms.
• Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja:
  • The titular protagonist could count since he's a major case of Adorkable.
  • Rachael, who is a cute, small girl in pink, who also has a cat motif. Even her stanked form is adorable.
  • Julian would have to be the ultimate example on this show. A soft-spoken, Adorkable, Cloudcuckoolander Perky Goth with Cute Little Fangs and a love of the freaky and macabre. What about that isn't cute?
• Ready Jet Go!: All the child characters, but special mentions go to Sean and Mindy. Mindy is The Baby of the Bunch, innocent, and has an adorable bear hat. Sean is dorky and cowardly, but a sweetheart, and his Youthful Freckles and Innocent Blue Eyes accentuate this.
• Recess:
  • Miss Grotke is a rare over 18 example of the trope. Personality speaking, she's like a misplaced Disney Princess. Sadly, a lot of her moe-ness is taken out of most dubs, where her cute, high-pitched voice is usually replaced with a lower, more boring one.
  • The main six when they were in kindergarten were just adorable as well.
  • Gus is one of the cutest members of the main six.
• Regular Show: Pops is so naive, awkward and sweet, it's hard not to want to give him a hug.
• Rosie's Rules: Rosie is precious, as are all the other kid characters. Even the adult characters are adorable.
• Ruby Gloom: The title character is the epitome of Perky Goth and her sunny personality is just so darling. Pretty much everyone qualifies, actually; they're all monsters and creepy creatures, but they're the sweetest, friendliest, and most adorkable bunch of ghouls you could ever find.
• Sanjay and Craig:
  • The former is the show's most sensitive, sweet, and gentle of the cast and the latter is a cuddly snake with attitude and a hidden soft side; they're also a couple of Cute Bruisers when the plot calls for it.
  • Megan and Sam are also pretty adorable.
• School for Vampires: Klot. Don't look at him — let alone talk to him — for long, or you'll find yourself offering him your blood voluntarily.
• The Simpsons:
  • Maggie, the adorable Cute Mute baby who is always sucking on her pacifier (though she has a dark side).
  • Lisa Simpson, being a smart, caring, and idealistic Adorably Precocious Child.
  • Ralph, one of Lisa's classmates, qualifies due to his innocence and being a Cloudcuckoolander.
  • Homer Simpson when his childhood self is seen via Flashback, for similar reasons to Ralph.
  • Ironically the character named Moe definitely averts this trope.
• The Smurfs (1981):
  • Smurfette. In a cast of male characters, she stands out as the adorable, wholesome, blond, and sweet Girly Girl.
  • Baby Smurf is The Baby of the Bunch, and so cute that even Grouchy Smurf has a soft spot for him.
  • The four Smurflings, a group of playful children who also serve as Kid Appeal Characters, possibly the reason why they have a major role in later seasons.
  • Clumsy, a sweet-natured, naive Kindhearted Simpleton who is accident-prone but means well, occasionally falling into The Woobie.
• Sofia the First: Sofia herself is an adorable and kind-hearted young girl.
• South Park:
  • When Kenny McCormick becomes "Princess Kenny", he becomes a direct parody of anime characters of this type, specifically young girls.
  • Butters Stotch is a sweet, naive Cheerful Child and by far the most innocent character on the show.
  • Tweek is an adorkable Nervous Wreck.
  • Kyle Broflovski is so kind with girls he dates and willingly a good brother to Ike when he's in trouble.
  • Stan Marsh has a heart when he's near animals, especially with his dog Sparky.
  • Kenny's little sister Karen. She's got adorable Girlish Pigtails and is a bit sensitive due to her terrible home life, and is her older brother Kenny's Morality Pet.
• The Spectacular Spiderman: Gwen Stacy spends a lot of her screentime either being Endearingly Dorky or doggedly protective of her friends in a way that melts plenty of fans' hearts.
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • The title character qualifies owing to his optimism, childlike innocence, cute little freckles, Childish Tooth Gap, and overall sweet demeanor.
  • Patrick Star qualifies in a Big Fun Kindhearted Simpleton pack.
  • Sandy is an Adorkable Ridiculously Cute Critter with a Texan accent to boot. She's also one of the nicest characters in the entire series.
  • Mr. Krabs has an appealing design for a cartoon crab (mostly his eye stalks) and can also have some endearing traits, particularly when he's happy around SpongeBob and shows that he cares about him, as well as his daughter Pearl.
  • Pearl herself. Aside from being a Bratty Teenage Daughter, she's a cute energetic whale who loves to go shopping with her friends and tends to fall for boys in some episodes. She also has occasional cute moments with SpongeBob when she's not mad at him.
• Star Trek: Lower Decks: Has D'vana Tendi, an adorable new recruit to Starfleet medical who is cheerful, optimistic, and Adorkable. She loves science, experiments and is loves making friends and helping people. As an Orion she's also a Cultural Rebel as most the rest of her race - including her family - are cut throat pirates but she's an kind, perky medic. As it turns out she was trained in all the same deadly skills and thievery tricks for her role of "Mistress of the Winter Constellations" but she turned her back on that life when she realised her calling was science, her terrifying skill set doesn't make her any less adorable.
• Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz. Interestingly, the former is a Cuddle Bug and they tend to give each other hugs quite a bit.
  Star: Hugs!
• Star Wars:
  • Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 micro-series): Shaak Ti has an adorable design with a compassionate, frequently-concerned voice, and is frequently displaying selfless behavior such as attempting a Heroic Sacrifice to save her group. Paired with her great fighting skills, she is very Badass Adorable.
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars has Ahsoka Tano as the young, cute, and perky apprentice of Anakin. Even as she goes through Character Development and becomes more serious, and more combat-capable as well, she does not lose her adorableness at all. In fact, the more serious hardships she faces only make her even more Moe as they tend to make her a major woobie on top of the cuteness she already has.
  • Star Wars Rebels:
    • Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger are the main Moe characters, since they are both still teenagers with way more responsibilities and hardships than anyone their age should be dealing with, yet despite this they are still usually kind and friendly people except when dealing with particularly bad personal problems, in which case they tend to come across as The Woobie rather than being unlikable. Sabine also has the bonus of often making adorable art, including a goofy picture of Ezra falling on Zeb and a Rainbow Pimp Gear paint job on a Tie Fighter.
    • Hera is an innocently cute Twi’lek, in contrast to the Green-Skinned Space Babe Ms. Fanservice role that Twi’lek women usually have in Star Wars, with an exceptional amount of compassion for everyone on the Ghost crew while also frequently showing a playful, snarky side that comes across as adorable. Due to her role as the loving mom of the group she technically falls under Yamato Nadeshiko more than Moe, but her youthful looks and adorable traits still give her Moe energy anyway.
  • Star Wars: The Bad Batch:
    • Omega is a female clone child, and her innocence combined with the Bad Batch’s protectiveness make her adorable at times.
    • The kid version of Hera, who was already super adorable as an adult, is unsurprisingly this. Being an Adorably Precocious Child trying to save her parents from the Empire despite the Bad Batch initially not caring, making her push them on the issue until they come around, makes her very endearing and easy to root for.
• Steven Universe:
  • Steven, an all-loving, energetic Kid Hero with empathy for everyone, even jerks, villains, and monsters. He's a younger brother figure for the Gems and the older audience.
    • Younger Steven is absolutely adorable, with a Childish Tooth Gap and Blush Sticker, as seen in the extended intro. The audience's reaction at SDCC was a collective Squee.
    • Baby Steven, especially when he's laughing or giggling.
  • Connie as well, her enthusiasm and dorky personality are endearing, to say the least.
  • Ruby and Sapphire. Whether it be their small size or their dangerously adorable interactions, the two have stolen the collective heart of the fandom.
  • Toddler-like Amethyst from when Greg and Rose were together. Apparently after emerging from the ground with her present appearance, as shown in "Buddy's Book" and the painting in "So Many Birthdays", she changed her appearance to make herself look like a child. This results in a very cute design, coupled with an adorable puppy-like personality.
  • Peridot's arms and legs are revealed to be prosthetic "limb enhancers". Without them, she is tiny.
  • Leggy has a very endearing and cute personality, due to being shy, timid, nervous, and unsure of herself. According to her concept art, she is also the youngest member of the five-Ruby squad.
  • Padparadscha's quirk of finding anything she "predicts" as wondrous and exciting has immediately caused fans to want to adopt and protect her.
• Everyone in the Strawberry Shortcake franchise^note Unless you're one of the villains, of course., especially the 1980s, and 2000s versions.
• Teen Titans (2003): Starfire is innocent, sweet, friendly, and a badass to boot. Murakami likes his anime. Glorious, friends!
• ThunderCats (2011): Wilykit and Wilykat have the cuteness of precocious little children plus that of kittens.
• Timothy Goes to School: Yoko, Lilly, and Juanita are all very kind and nice around the other students and among the cutest characters in the series.
• Transformers: Animated:
  • Skywarp is a Dirty Coward cloned from Starscream. The fans think he's adorable (maybe it's the constant fear combined with the likelihood that he's the one who gets picked on the most that contributes to the Woobieness).
  • Wreck-Gar is surprisingly cute for a garbage truck with Weird Al's voice. Helps that he's peppy and always friendly despite his foolishness.
• Transformers: Rescue Bots: Blades is almost like Fluttershy as a male robot.
• We Bare Bears:
  • Grizz is pretty much an excitable guy who enjoys doing things to keep him happy.
  • Panda is considered the most adorable of the trio due to being an Adorkable Nervous Wreck.
  • Ice Bear may be the quiet one most of the time, but seeing him doing silly, adorable things is quite endearing.
  • As seen in some episodes and the spin-off We Baby Bears, the younger trio are even more adorable, as their only goal is to find a home in hopes of happiness.
