Animation Tickling list (repost)
AutoNN
Greetings, all!
In conjunction with the mainstream list, here is part of the animation
list(strictly non-sexual fun for those who may remember some of these long
ago). This is an edited version of the full thing, which is normally
about 50% longer. I've eliminated some entries which I have seen and know
aren't very good, ones which are extremely rare, or ones which I have
little information or episode titles for and thus may not be worth the
trouble to locate. I've seen quite a few of these and obviously retained
the highlights; additionally, I've tended to keep entries with multiple
episodes/occurences, ones easy to find, and (given the preference of most
of this newsgroup) retained as many female ones as possible. I may post
the original list later on if I feel there is sufficient interest to
merit, or e-mail me if you want more information. Additions/comments
welcome!

[1. ANIMATED FILMS]
*Disney's JUNGLE BOOK (1967 animated version):
Possibly the Mother Lode of cartoon tickles in a single film. In order,
there are four separate scenes: Mowgli is pounced upon and licked by
several wolves; Mowgli climbs up on Baloo's back while the two are
wrestling and digs into the bear's ribs with a foot, causing him to
confess his ticklishness, which Mowgli takes full advantage of; Baloo
tickles King Louie under the arms while he's holding up a pillar of a
falling temple; Shere Khan tickles Kaa the snake while inspecting if he's
eaten recently.
*RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY, THE MOVIE (1977):
At the end, a giant sea monster with a hundred tentacles tickles the crew
of an entire pirate ship, both guys and girls. A long scene while they
decide how best to solve the situation...
*Disney's SWORD IN THE STONE (1963):
Merlin and Wart, transformed into fish, swim through seaweed, giggling
that it tickles, then go back for more! Later, they are both turned into
squirrels. Wart and girl-squirrel briefly tickle Merlin while on a
lovers' chase, and Merlin gets it again shortly thereafter when a granny
squirrel flirts forcefully with him, cheek-pinching, bear-hugging, and
tummy-tickling.
*Disney's ROBIN HOOD (1973):
Prince John's toes get tickled by Sir Hiss, who's sleeping at the foot of
John's bed, his tongue flickering in and out.
*Disney's ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1951):
Alice is tickled on her ribs by a crazy flamingo at the Red Queen's
hedgehog croquet game.
[2. DISNEY TV SERIES/SHORTS, notable animation; deserves own category]
*GUMMI BEARS: [Disney channel]
--"The Secret of the Juice" Duke Igthorne gives a brief history of torture
for Grammi Gummi, culminating with the most evil tool, 'the Feather'
(oooooohhhh). She is then strapped down to a table and foot-tickled by
the ogres for the secret recipe of Gummiberry Juice.
--"Queen Of the Carpies" Throughout the episode, it is made clear that
the evil bird-like Carpy king is extremely ticklish. Sunni Gummi finally
takes full advantage of this and tickles his belly with a feather until
he surrenders his crown.
*DARKWING DUCK, [Disney channel]

rib-tickled by his spunky adopted daughter while holding her upside down

partner Lucky, and finds ticklish spots all over Lucky's sides.

on the matter, and pulls out a feather a yard long. He gets to use it on
Bonkers a few times, especially on the nose.
*ALADDIN (series): Most are pretty quick and useless, but there's so many
it's notable. "The Vocal Hero" "Shark Treatment" "Clockwork Hero" and
"Web of Fear" are most worthwhile. If you're interested, also see "Do the
Rat Thing," "To Catch a Thief" "The Vapor Chase" "The Love Bug" "Forget Me
Lots," "Love At First Sprite."
*MISCELLANEOUS CARTOONS
--where Goofy was in the African jungle hunting a lion. The lion pounced

tangled in supplies and honey falls on his feet; a bear licks the honey
off.

hysterical Joe rolling off a cliff, and Moe gets in a quick crack at
Porky, too.

Tex Avery toons. Unrelated cartoons, but with similar plots. The
protagonists are threatened with dire punishments if they make any sound

the butler to get inside.

with the pot.

--the episode where Olive gets tied up by pirate ghosts and milk is poured

Possibly the LONGEST tickle-torture scene ever animated, Ataru Moroboshi

*KEKKO KAMEN VOL.1

A fairly short scene appears in an episode of Rocko's Modern Life, which is broadcast weekdays on the Nickelodeon cable network.
Ed Bighead is recruited to play golf against the Conglom-O president, and as he is given his task by Mr. NoWay, NoWay begins by
stating "Tickle my foot Bighead, I'm feeling a little blue."
Kinda dumb, as there's no reaction; he just keeps talking, but hey; it's worth recording for posterity.
