The world of television, cartoons, children's books, and animated movies has inspired many lines of plush toys. All the Disney characters can be found as plush collectibles. Warner Brothers also produces plush versions of all their familiar cartoon characters.

With the introduction of Sesame Street to the American television audience, a whole new genre of wild and whacky Jim Henson characters became our children's favorite stuffed animals. From Grover, to Big Bird, from Elmo to Ernie, thousands of children cuddle up to Children's Television Workshop inspired stuffed animals each night, and wag them around all day.
