- In the classic animated series Jonny Quest in the episode Turu the Terrible the villain is a character called 'Deen'. He is elderly and wheelchair bound and is in command of a large pteranodon, an apparent survivor from the prehistoric dinosaur age. While Deen does not look like Lionel Barrymore, he is voiced by actor Everett Sloane whose voice is a dead ringer for Barrymore's.
- In the animated series "Underdog," the recurring villain Simon Bar Sinister's voice is an impersonation of Barrymore.
- In another animated series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "Theatre of Doom" Vincent Van Ghoul (a parody of Vincent Price) remarked that he saw Barrymore smashed his own play with a pipe.
- In the 1948 cartoon short Hot Cross Bunny, Bugs Bunny does an impression of Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie.
