How many classic cartoon characters have gone to hell?:evil: Here are the few I can think up:

Daffy Duck -- Daffy ends up in Hades after trying to avoid the Little Man From the Draft Board in Draftee Daffy.

Sylvester the Cat -- All nine lives end up in the Nether World in Satan's Waitin'.

Yosemite Sam -- Like Sylvester, Sam tries to avoid being one of the damned in Devil's Feud Cake.

Private Snafu -- Snafu's carelessness sends him down to the Inferno, where the Devil bears a striking resemblance to a certain German dictator, in Spies.

Professor Calvin Q. Calculus's Wife -- The Professor drops his nagging wife down a hole to hell, but she is returned by the Devil himself (!) in The Hole Idea.

The Big Bad Wolf -- The Wolf with his corny horn goes to "the other place" in The Three Little Bops. (But Hell ends up being rewarding for the wolf in this cartoon.)

Tom Cat (of Tom & Jerry) -- Tom must get Jerry's forgiveness or else he ends up in eternal damnation in Heavenly Puss.

Pluto -- Mickey's dog, Pluto, has a nightmare that he ends up in the Underworld run by cats in Pluto's Judgement Day.

Willie Whopper -- Willie ends up down below in Hell's Fire.

(Breaking my own rule here) As far as modern cartoons go:

Ren & Stimpy -- Whizzing on the electric frence sends Ren, Stimpy and Ren's cousin Sven to the infernal regions, where Satan is played by George Liquor, in the episode "Sven Hoek".

Fry, Leela and Bender -- The characters from Futurama descend into Robot Hell to retrieve Bender from the Robot Devil, in the episode "Hell is Other Robots".
 
There was one Woody Woodpecker cartoon where Buzz Buzzard ends up going to hell. I don't remember the title though.
 
Woody Woodpecker sends his Elf lookalike to hell in His Better Elf
 
Son Goku in Dragon Ball Z.

Shishio Makoto in Rurouni Kenshin.
 
Betty Boop, in Red Hot Mama
 
Other classic cartoons involving Hell include the following:

"Blitz Wolf" (MGM)
"Jerry-Go-Round" (MGM)
"Wild and Woody" (Lantz)
"A Mutt in a Rut" (Famous)
"Mice-Capades" (Famous)

There was also a scrapped Famous Studios Popeye cartoon which involved Popeye and Olive Oyl's adventures in Hell, with Bluto as the Prince of Darkness himself!

Wow! How could I forget Book Revue, one of my all-time favorite cartoons? I feel ashamed! :o
 
I don't know about you, but seeing animated depictions of the afterlife really creeps me out. :eek:
 
"Felix Fans the Flames" (1926) would be an early example of a cartoon character going to Hell (in this case, Felix the Cat).

I'm a bit surprised that nobody here has mentioned "Sunday Go to Meetin' Time."

If you're breaking into Modern Cartoons....

Joel, Phil and Elly went to Hell in High Score Bonus Stage #9, "Morbid."

....Hey, it's Matt Wilson's cartoon. It counts!

Oh crap, I never realized that was George Liquor. Played by the same actor and everything. Nice!
