Gameoverse is the second (and a brand-new) Glitch Production show of this list. Heroes of previously destroyed worlds must help the villains of other games so that those heroes cannot win their game which will otherwise lead to their world's destruction, too. The pilot just came out the other day and it's super promising already...!

One of the secondary antagonists is Fold, who is humanoid piece of paper that can fold into any kind of shape. Basically origami.

Character: Fold

Webseries: Gameoverse (2026-)

There's also a brief scene wherein we see one of the bosses whom Flappers had to fight against, which is some sort of lightbulb boss:

I wanted to add a picture of the key and the bed alone, but it seems they and their humans are inseperable.

As a duo, I especially like the latter - I like Paracelsus and A.B.A.'s vibe. They are a wholesomely deranged couple and I ship it. (Although... it's not really a ship anymore if it's canon, is it?) And design-wise, Bedman? is crazily cool for being a bed.

Character: Paracelsus/Flament Nagel, Bedman?

Franchise: Guilty Gear (1998-)*

Welp, that was not a short break. Ahem... Anyways!

This is a short Italian film with motorbikes and a few other object characters. It's practically an isekai and the two main characters, Fofi and Dedo, must unite rivaling motorbikes to find their way back home.

Movie: The Animotosi in the Land of Nowhere (2005)

This series is like Finley the Fire Engine: I don't list kids vehicle shows (yet), but this series also has different characters, as shown below.

Crazy fact: Most of this series is lost media. Out of 65 (known) episodes, only 8 have been retrieved (available on YouTube).

Oh and Axel is left out in the title despite being just an as important character as the other two...? Justice for the poor dump truck.

Characters: main characters (Scoop, Axel, Doozie), Spritz, Jacques, Long John

TV series: Scoop and Doozie (1999-2003)

These tools can get a job done... and will get the job undone (or worse) just as fast if you don't show them a little respect, so better give them the recognition they deserve before you'll regret it!

The Ghoul Tools are Beetlejuice's sentient (power) tools. The one in the image down below are those that had faces and voice lines, but there are more of them seen fixing or wrecking in other scenes.

Characters: Ghoul Tools [hacksaw, monkey wrench, jackhammer, drill]

Episode: A Dandy Handy Man (1991)

A(n orginally French) series about legendary football player that got turned into a football as a punishment for his big ego. And now he tries to teach a young boy named Daniel how to become better at the sport, while Daniel tries to teach him how to become less selfish.

You said a lighthouse can't be clumsily adorable? GUESS AGAIN.

I wish I could give the little big guy a hug, but... I suppose that would be quite hard to do... (How does one hug a building/structure?)

Coincidentally, some of my first sentient object characters (if not the very first) were a trio consisting of the Eiffel Tower (yeah), a clock tower and... A LIGHTHOUSE. So, no surprise, I think this is very cool.

Character: a sentient lighthouse with spider legs

As far as I'm aware, Herbie is literally THE ONLY inanimate object character that is from live-action media, actually sentient (not AI like K.I.T.T., that is) and ISN'T EVIL (all inanimate object horror movies) or from a WEIRD AF media (those two movies I mentioned in entry 69).

We need more like Herbie. Please. (Talking to all movie directors.)

Character: Herbie the Love Bug

Movies: The Love Bug (1969), Herbie Rides Again (1974), Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977), Herbie Goes Bananas (1980), The Love Bug (1997), Herbie Fully Loaded (2005)

There was also a five-episodes Herbie TV series that aired in 1982.

Aside from Herbie himself, we got his first love interest, Giselle (featured in "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo", 1977) and his evil twin brother, Horace the Hate Bug (featured in "The Love Bug", 1997).
