Robinson has been the inspiration for a number of animated television characters, usually caricatures of his most distinctive 'snarling gangster' guise. An early version of the gangster character [[Rocky and Mugsy|Rocky]], featured in the [[Bugs Bunny]] cartoon ''[[Racketeer Rabbit]]'', shared his likeness. This version of the character also appears briefly in ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]'', in the episode "Comfort and Joy", as an alien with Robinson's face and non-human body, who hovers past the screen as a background character.

Similar caricatures also appeared in ''[[The Coo-Coo Nut Grove]]'', ''[[Thugs with Dirty Mugs]]'' and ''[[Hush My Mouse]]''. Another character based on Robinson's tough-guy image was The Frog (Chauncey "Flat Face" Frog) from the cartoon series ''[[Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse]]''. The voice of B.B. Eyes in ''[[The Dick Tracy Show]]'' was based on Robinson, with [[Mel Blanc]] and [[Jerry Hausner]] sharing voicing duties. The ''[[Wacky Races (1968 TV series)|Wacky Races]]'' animated series character 'Clyde' from the Ant Hill Mob was based on Robinson's Little Caesar persona.

Voice actor [[Hank Azaria]] has noted that the voice of ''[[The Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' character police chief [[Chief Wiggum|Clancy Wiggum]] is an impression of Robinson.<ref name=tvguide>{{cite news|title=Flash! 24 Simpsons Stars Reveal Themselves|date=October 21, 2000|work=[[TV Guide]]|author=Joe Rhodes}}</ref>
