History Main / WhiteGloves

** Lola Bunny is an odd case, since she's a rather modern character created in the 1990s. She even retains the gloves in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction New Looney Tunes]]''. It could be justified, as she needed them to keep accuracy with his DistaffCounterpart, Bugs.

* It's hard to say with ''Animation/BlackCatDetective''. Nearly every mammal on the show wears them, but most of them are Chinese police officers, who actually wear white gloves from time to time.

* Big Eggo, the original cover star from ''ComicBook/TheBeano'' and anthropomorphised ostrich, usually wears white gloves so it looks more like he has hands. It's a slight subversion in that the rest of his "arms" still look wing-like, and he's sometimes shown without the gloves (in which case, he has normal ostrich wings).

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'': The Potato Heads wear white gloves like their [[Toys/MrPotatoHead real life counterparts]].

** Mario and Luigi. This wasn't apparent in their early game sprites, however, as limits in technology did not allow enough colors per sprite for their hands to appear white.

* ''TabletopGame/MouseTrap'': At least one version of the box art depicts all four bipedal cartoon mice wearing white gloves, giving them an old-timey cartoon appearance.

* Tom, as well many other cats' paws in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' have the same effect as white gloves.

*** Not all the time. In various comics and the cartoon ''Mickey's Delayed Date'', Mickey bathes without his gloves.

** In one ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short, called "Pluto's Magic Paws", Mickey happens upon a pair of magical gloves that look identical to his own. HilarityEnsues.

** In one ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short, Mickey happens upon a pair of magical gloves that look identical to his own. HilarityEnsues.

** ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' and ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'' tend to demonstrate another motive for white gloves when applied to FunnyAnimals: when the anthropomorphic animals are drawn in a "realistic", detailed way, such as in those two shows, the sight of four-fingered hands with furs and claws can get very near the UncannyValley. [[http://fr.univerduck.wikia.com/wiki/Fichier:Hand.png Just look.]] And that's not the worst example.

Compare with and Subtrope to ConspicuousGloves.

* ''Webcomic/MyRoommateIsAnElf''. All characters wear these, and they have FourFingeredHands. Lampshaded in ''Literature/AlmostNight''. Apparently everybody on the colony of Gamma wears them and they are seen as an oddity by the people of Tau. They're enchanted so to allow texture.

** [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]] usually does, too, but in his ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' outfit, he wears [[FingerlessGloves fingerless yellow gloves]] with "W"s on them.

*** In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', Bugs's WhiteGloves shrink after being washed improperly; this proves highly stressful for him, and when he tries to buy a new pair, he finds out that they aren't in stock because "this isn't the nineteenth century", and he has to buy some FingerlessGloves instead.

* The Spacy Brothers and Himespetchi from ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}!''

--> Vladimir: "... And our sleek forepaws, mutated into swollen, freakish, HANDS!"

* While the characters on ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' don't wear gloves, there is a whole theme park dedicated to them, Glove World.
** In a retro-themed online short released in 2021 that recreates SpongeBob's Reef Blower episode in a 1920s style, SpongeBob is shown to wear white gloves.

* WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker wears white gloves.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'': The Potato Heads wears white gloves like their [[Toys/MrPotatoHead real life counterparts]].

* Several Creator/TexAvery characters, including Screwy Squirrel, the unnamed Wolf, and George and Junior, wear them.

* {{Lampshaded}} in ''[[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie An Extremely Goofy Movie]]'':
-->'''Bobby:''' ([[ContemplatingYourHands looking at his hands]]) Did you ever wonder why we are always, like, wearing gloves?
** Another thing to note that only the males wear gloves. And even some of them don't wear gloves.
** There is also one extra in the first movie who wears fingerless gloves ''over'' his white ones.

[[folder:Films]]
* ''Film/EightBallClown'': The titular clown wears a pair of white gloves.
* The title character in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' has both white gloves and FourFingeredHands as a puppet. He loses the gloves when he becomes a real boy, as well as having a proper set of five fingers on each hand. All of the {{Funny Animal}}s in the movie (Jiminy Cricket, Honest John, Gideon) also sport gloves.
* '''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'': Pinocchio has white gloves that are white color painted on his hands.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Since Roger Rabbit is already white, he wears yellow gloves.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'':
** Toys/MrPotatoHead's arms are white, but he still wears white gloves.

*** In ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons'', Porky's gloves (here yellow) are part of his current design.
