10 Best Movies & TV Shows Starring Kaley Cuoco

7. Brandy & Mr. Whiskers (2004-2006)

The Flight Attendant
Disney

Cuoco's first animated TV role is in the ever charming Brandy & Mr. Whiskers. The show, created by Russell Marcus and co-starring Charlie Adler, centres on a dim-witted rabbit and arrogant dog who get stranded in the Amazon Rainforest.

The show aired from 2004 until 2006 on the Disney Channel, with Cuoco filling one of the primary roles. The actress adopts a valley-girl accent for Brandy, a mongrel dog belonging to a very rich couple. Although she increasingly cares for her friends as the show goes on, she still at times takes advantage of them to try and make her life better.

A surreal show that mirrors reality, Brandy & Mr. Whiskers won a Daytime Emmy Award for an individual achievement in animation. Cuoco, meanwhile, displays a talent for bringing animated characters to life, a talent that she is more renowned for now than she was eighteen years ago. It was after the success of this show that Cuoco started to walk into some of her most iconic onscreen roles.

The show holds a peculiar record. The episode 'Ed vs. The Oyster' is only 45 seconds long, and is widely agreed to be the shortest episode in the history of a Disney animated series.
