He often tries to steal the secret formula for Krabby Patties from Mr. Krabs' restaurant so he can sell it and make money for himself rather than simply being in business competition with him as he was earlier on in the series but always fails time after time due to his ineptitude and stupidity

But what else do you know about this lovable green cartoon character?

Shrek is kind of like The Big Friendly Giant but without all of the screaming at children who don't give up their dreams when they grow up (though he does have some of those qualities). Instead, Shrek loves food—and hates ogres. He's not really particular about his living arrangement either; Fiona is able to coax him out of his shell, but it doesn't take much effort because she just asks him if she can come stay at his place for a while after they meet at Lord Farquaad's ball (which was actually an illegal fair).

Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy, 3D

You may know Poison Ivy from the Batman series, but did you know she's also a cartoon character? Cartoon Poison Ivy is not a villain; she's actually by herself. She lives in an enchanted forest and enjoys keeping it free of humans.
