There are many websites that are taking a very animated approach to their brand strategy. Some of these sites target younger users, so a cartoon animated style would be expected; however businesses are also using this approach to perhaps soften their corporate image to appear friendlier and more playful to their audience.
This animated style is also used by individuals that are using a cartoon character to represent themselves online to establish a relationship to the reader, so you, the reader, feel better connected to the author of the site.
Regardless of the reason the examples in this set are visually and creatively excellent.
To see more examples of this style check out these 2 posts: Cool Web Characters and More Cool Web Characters.

I really love cartoon uses in web sites.. It takes a lot of work in creating vector based cartoons. Good post. thanks for sharing
I’ve always thought the cartoon mascots looked pretty cool. They help give the site a better image. I saw the FatBurgr one on dezignerfolio, and I actually visited the site just because I thought the mascot looked cool.
This is a great showcase – love those illustrations.
There is one to be added to the list on http://www.myows.com

Personally, I think these are all topped (sorry!) by fizzyfruit.com, benandjerrys.com and cheerwine.com.
I know I’m being brutally honest. My apologies.
