20 animated houses we’d love to visit

If it were possible, we'd step into these 20 animated houses in an instant. 

 
1 of 20

'SpongeBob SquarePants'

'SpongeBob SquarePants'
Nickelodeon via YouTube

SpongeBob SquarePants’ pineapple house is unassuming from the outside, but inside, it’s got all anyone could want: a cozy living room, an easy-to-use kitchen, and an insanely large library that can only be accessed through one entry point. We’d love to visit all the houses in Bikini Bottom, but SpongeBob’s tops the list.

'CatDog'

The CatDog universe is an amazing place full of juxtapositions, as is their house. But the most intriguing part is the entrance to Winslow T. Oddfellow’s space. Oh, how much fun it would be to weasel down through that door.

'The Aristocats'

'The Aristocats'
Walt Disney Studios

The cats in The Aristocats weren’t dubbed that for nothing. They were living with true aristocrats, and their living quarters reflected it. We wouldn’t want to travel through the journey the cats went on when they were stolen, but we’d love to spend an afternoon in their mansion.

'Up'

'Up'
Pixar Studios

The Up house is arguably the most iconic animated house of all time. Even without balloons, it’s absolutely darling. It might not be a place you’d want to live long-term, but spending an afternoon there would be splendid.

'Hey Arnold!'

'Hey Arnold!'
Nickelodeon via YouTube

There’s one reason and one reason only to visit Arnold’s house: His bedroom. Every kid who grew up watching Hey Arnold! wanted to walk on that crazy carpet and look up through his windowed ceiling. It’s probably an awful environment to sleep in, but it’s still awesome.

'Frozen'

'Frozen'
Frozen Walt Disney Studios

We’d settle for visiting the palace that Anna and Elsa lived inside at the beginning of Frozen, but what we really want to see in real life is Elsa’s ice castle. It would be very chilly and probably hard to walk on, but it would be worth all the cold and slips. 

 
7 of 20

'Lady and the Tramp'

'Lady and the Tramp'
Walt Disney Studios

Lady’s house in Lady and the Tramp is perfect. It’s got a well-manicured lawn and great architecture. It’s got a great porch and seems like a wonderful place for a dog to live. And if a dog is comfortable there, who’s to say humans wouldn’t be?

 
8 of 20

'Rugrats'

Something about the Pickles’ house on Rugrats is so appealing. It could just be the nostalgia, or maybe it’s that everything looked big from the babies’ point of view. Whatever it is, it looks like a fun house to visit.

'Beauty and the Beast'

'Beauty and the Beast'
Walt Disney Studios

The Beast’s castle in Beauty and the Beast is incredible. It somehow sits on a cliff and has forbidden rooms and talking furniture. And it’s got the world’s best library. Sure, taking residence there might be a living nightmare, but it would be a great venue for a party.

'One Hundred and One Dalmatians'

'One Hundred and One Dalmatians'
Walt Disney Productions via YouTube

The dogs in One Hundred and One Dalmatians sure lucked out because the house they get to live in at the end of the movie is so charming. There might be a few too many dogs in one space to really get comfortable, but we would settle for a home tour. 

 
11 of 20

'The Jetsons'

'The Jetsons'
ABC via YouTube

Who, in the history of watching television, has seen an episode of The Jetsons and not wanted to visit their home? It’s got futuristic decor and a great view. Plus, there are tons of technological conveniences. And it would be so awesome to have to take a spaceship to get up to your living quarters. 

 
12 of 20

'Aladdin'

'Aladdin'
Walt Disney Studios

Aladdin’s living quarters aren’t exactly desirable, but Jasmine’s palace looks amazing. You’d want to look out for her pet tiger, but there’s plenty of space to roam, so that wouldn’t be much of an issue. 

 
13 of 20

'DuckTales'

'DuckTales'
Walt Disney Television Animation via YouTube

The powers that be have taken the time to figure it out, and they’ve determined that Scrooge McDuck is one of the richest animated characters of all time. And it’s apparent in the McDuck Manor as seen on DuckTales. It would be a legendary visit.

 
14 of 20

'Bob’s Burgers'

'Bob’s Burgers'
Fox

Part of the reason we’d like to visit the Belcher apartment in Bob’s Burgers is because we’d like to eat at the restaurant. But we’d also just love to hang out with the Belcher family. 

 
15 of 20

'Cinderella'

'Cinderella'
Walt Disney Studios

Everywhere Cinderella gets to live in the movie is amazing. We’d be happy to visit her house or Prince Charming’s palace. But considering her house also has her evil stepmother and her stepsisters, we’d visit Prince Charming’s palace first. 

 
16 of 20

'The Flintstones'

'The Flintstones'
ABC/Hanna-Barbera Productions

So much about the life of the characters in The Flintstones is idyllic, despite living in the Stone Age. Actually, living in Bedrock would have its challenges, but spending the night there would be a fun version of camping. 

 
17 of 20

'Tangled'

'Tangled'
Walt Disney Studios

Being trapped inside a tower until you’re 18 would be unspeakably awful, but if you’re going to be stuck anywhere, the tower that Rapunzel was trapped inside in Tangled wouldn’t be the worst option. We wouldn’t want to be there for as long as she was, but a night or two would be great. 

 
18 of 20

'The Powerpuff Girls'

'The Powerpuff Girls'
Cartoon Network via YouTube

The house where the Powerpuff Girls live — Utonium Residence — is the bomb. It’s ultra modern and the layout is perfect for three little girls who need to leave at a moment’s notice to fight evil. 

 
19 of 20

'The Little Mermaid'

'The Little Mermaid'
Walt Disney Studios

While it would be very pleasant to stay at Prince Eric’s castle, we’d way rather go down to the palace where King Triton lives. It would be a much more difficult journey, and we wouldn’t be able to stay as long, but even a swim through would be worth the trouble. 

 
20 of 20

'Mulan'

'Mulan'
Walt Disney Feature Animation via YouTube

All the Disney princesses live in beautiful homes. The Fa family home in Mulan sits on a gorgeous property and has a stunning, unique layout. Visiting this home would be a completely different experience than visiting any other animated home.

Shaquille O'Neal makes peace with longtime enemy — mostly

Shaquille O'Neal makes peace with longtime enemy — mostly

Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard patched things up Sunday after years of feuding. But even while describing their rapprochement, O'Neal couldn't keep from teasing his longtime nemesis. The "Big Aristotle" was at the BIG3 playoffs Sunday to watch Howard's L.A. Riot play the Chicago Triplets. In the middle of describing to Rachel Nichols how he and Howard had made peace, O'Neal broke off his explanation to make fun of Howard for missing a dunk. The two Hall of Fame centers had sparred for years, despite their common ground as former members of the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers. Some of the tension seemed to be due to Howard adopting O'Neal's "Superman" nickname, though O'Neal claimed to Nichols that he was simply being tough on Howard to motivate him. That explanation doesn't account for the time O'Neal mocked Howard for playing basketball in the Taiwanese league or the decade-plus he's spent roasting Howard on his podcast, in public appearances and on "Inside the NBA." Still, it appears that the two have made peace. Despite O'Neal being left off the original list of presenters, he insisted that he'll be among a group of Hall of Famers inducting Howard Sept. 6, including Dominique Wilkins, Robert Parish, Dennis Rodman and Patrick Ewing. It means that two of the most dominant big men of their eras have finally buried the hatchet. It's added a new level of interest to the Hall of Fame ceremonies, and it should be a sweet moment between O'Neal and Howard. As long as Howard doesn't mention Superman.

Giants have firm stance on possible Jameis Winston trade

Giants have firm stance on possible Jameis Winston trade

The New York Giants have one of the deepest quarterback rooms in the NFL, and there has been speculation that Jameis Winston could be the odd man out when the regular season begins. It does not sound like Winston is going anywhere, however. Russell Wilson is expected to be the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 1. The big question is whether Jaxson Dart or Winston will enter the year as Wilson's primary backup. Dart has played well through two preseason games, and Brian Daboll and his coaching staff have raved about the former Ole Miss star. Some have wondered if the Giants could entertain trade offers for Winston should they decide they view Dart as their No. 2 quarterback. Assistant general manager Brandon Brown was asked about that on Tuesday, and he all but ruled it out. "I appreciate people that are interested, but Jameis is a New York Giant. The way that he's gone about his business from day one, he's made it very intentional of the fact that he wants to be here and he wants to be here for the long haul," Brown said. "Teammates love him. His preparation process, whether it's the off-field things that he does in terms of community relations, Bible studies, things in the locker room, galvanizing the group together — not just the quarterback room, but the offense as a whole. "He's been comic relief, but he's also been a really good example of how to be a pro and handle your business in terms of prehab, rehab and postgame care. So, I'm happy he's here, and he's gonna continue to do those things. He hasn't wavered, and he hasn't been shaken by any distractions at all." Winston signed a two-year, $8M contract with the Giants in free agency this offseason. The deal could climb as high as $16M with incentives, but he would need to play quite a bit to hit those. The Giants value Winston's extensive experience, just as they value Dart's upside. There is a reason they signed both Wilson and Winston and traded up to draft Dart. They believe in all three players, and they likely will not be inclined to trade Winston unless they receive an excellent offer.

Adam Schefter's latest Micah Parsons update gives Packers fans even more reason to believe in a blockbuster trade

Days after Ian Rapoport reported that the Green Bay Packers would make total sense as Micah Parsons' landing spot if the Dallas Cowboys decide to trade the All-Pro edge defender, Packers fans have gained another reason to believe that a deal is actually possible. On ESPN Radio, NFL insider Adam Schefter mentioned that the Cowboys parting ways to Parsons truly is a realistic scenario. "It sounds like at some point in time—whether that's now, after the season, after two seasons—it sounds like the two sides are headed to a divorce at some time," Schefter said. On the Pat McAfee Show, Schefter said something similar. "These things always can change, and situations often change at the end of August and September. It changed for CeeDee Lamb last year. It changed for Dak Prescott last year. This one doesn't feel that way. It doesn't feel that way today. That doesn't mean it can't change, but the way that it's tracking, it feels more likely that these sides are headed for a divorce today than they would be for a new deal. Now, I don't know that it'll play out that way, but that is what I see when I look at the market, first of all. Now, I don't know whether that means there will be a trade. I think the most likely scenario would be that he's there this year, his contract expires, they franchise tag him, and then after they franchise tag him, then they have the ability to go and try and trade him." Micah Parsons is playing on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal with the Cowboys, and he will make $24.007 million in 2025. Even though he's slated to hit the free agent market next offseason, Dallas could utilize the franchise tag to keep him around—which would be 120% of his current salary, $28.8 million. Parsons wants a long-term deal with the idea of becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in football, surpassing $40 million in yearly salary. To make that happen, the Packers would have to be willing to spend the combination of high draft picks and the big extension. But at 26 and with his extremely productive profile, Parsons is the type of player worthy of that effort. For now, though, the Cowboys control the cards.

Fever receive devastating injury news on Sophie Cunningham

Fever receive devastating injury news on Sophie Cunningham

Injuries continue to be the pitfall for the Indiana Fever this season. Per ESPN, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a knee injury she suffered in Indiana's 99-93 win over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday. The injury comes with nine games left in the regular season for the Fever. At 19-16, Indiana has the third-best record in the Eastern Conference and is set to make a playoff push this summer. The Fever have been without second-year star Caitlin Clark since July 15, as the guard has been dealing with a groin injury. The team hopes she can return in the regular season, but Indiana could be significantly shorthanded on offense until her return. Cunningham has averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 30 games played this season. She has been crucial as a rotational player, averaging 25.2 minutes for the Fever. The 29-year-old became an early darling of the WNBA this season for standing up for Clark both on and off the court. Cunningham recently signed a podcast deal with Colin Cowherd. The good news for Cunningham is that she is expected to make a full recovery. However, the injury will crush what could have been a special season for the Fever if and when Clark returns.
