2. Tom & Jerry
This 1940’s classic cartoon taught many Americans how violence between domestic animals can be fun! Although most episodes showcase the two setting some various traps to drop bowling balls or irons or other heavy items onto the other, at the end of the day these two are perfect complements. This classic duo can be pulled off with a simple brown mouse and blue cat costume.
3. Axl Rose & Slash
Two of Rock and Rolls’ greatest all time rockers. Without Axl’s screeching vocals and Slash’s earth shattering guitar solos, Guns N Roses would not sound the same. They also make for a great duo costume. For Slash, you definitely need the hair, the shades and the top hat. Axle can be portrayed with a number of outfits, but for the courageous, one of his more memorable looks includes a bandana and white bicycle shorts.
4. Jules & Vern (Pulp Fiction)
“And he will know my name is the law” and so many other one liners that come out of these two. The famous hit men portrayed by Jon Travolta and Samel L Jackson are reasonably easy to pull off with black suits and ties with white shirts. The key is to get the hair and facial hair right if you want to pull this one off successfully.
5. Wayne & Garth (Wayne’s World)
Party on Wayne. Party on Garth! These two rocker wannabe knuckleheads originally came out of a SNL skit that then became a full length feature film, and then a sequel. For Wayne, you’ll need a black T-shirt and, black wig and a black Wayne’s World hat. For Garth, any 90’s band T-shirt will work along with a flannel, a blond wig and his distinct glasses. Oh yeah, and for both, make sure to throw on some baggy jeans with a few holes in the knees. Shaaawiiing!
6. Shaggy & Scooby (Scooby Doo)
Is there a more memorable set of characters in the cartoon universe than Shaggy and Scooby. These two are always looking out for one another and ready to be the bait for a trap to catch ghouls and goblins. Anything for a scooby snack!

Toy Story became a Pixar classic the moment it was released. A bit part of the success is attributable to the great back and forth between the two main characters, Buzz Lightyear and Woody.
