 * Old MacDonald: A farmer who has been in Rhymeland for longer than almost anyone, equipped with a shovel and dislikes bad behavior. Little Bo Peep used to work for him, but he fired her for losing his own sheep and refuses to give her another chance until her sheep can be found in the end. His farm is his family tradition, so he wouldn't give it up for anything. All his animals are named after the sounds they make. He gets around by horse and buggy. Everybody asks him what E-I-E-I-O means, but even he doesn't know. In the end, he returns to his farm with Neigh-Neigh.


 * Neigh-Neigh: Old MacDonald's horse who gets his name from the sound he makes. He is always pulling Old MacDonald's buggy and is extremely sensitive. He doesn't even like hearing the word "glue". In the end, he and his master return home.


 * The Farmer in the Dell: Old MacDonald's brother who often tunes a banjo and prefers to go by mule. He has a wife and a son. Old MacDonald calls him and asks him to look after the MacDonald Farm while he's away, leaving his wife and son in charge of the farm in the dell.


 * Mrs. Farmer in the Dell: Wife of the Farmer in the Dell and Old MacDonald's sister-in-law. The Farmer leaves her and their son in charge of the farm in the Dell while he's away looking after his brother's farm.

 * Junior: The Farmer in the Dell's 8-year-old son and Old MacDonald's nephew.


 * The Old Woman who lives in a Shoe: A lounging woman from next door whose kids pick on Gordon. She doesn't know what to do with her children and says that the stork has a crush on her. In a TV News interview, she tells them that she saw that Mother Goose disappear when she was doing chores.


 * The Itsy Bitsy Spider: A spider who is very fond of going down the waterspout whenever it rains and often scares Little Miss Muffet. He gives some advice when at the waterspout, but then gives more at Miss Muffet's place.

 * Mary-Mary Quite Contrary: A gardener who's having trouble with her own garden. She always says the opposite of what everyone (except Old MacDonald) says. When Gordon, Bo Peep, and Old MacDonald ask her where to find Little Miss Muffet, she tells them that she doesn't know the way. She dislikes Neigh-Neigh for eating her flowers, so she tells Old MacDonald to keep his horse under control.

 * Mary (of Mary had a Little Lamb): Little Bo Peep's childhood friend from rhyme school. She was given her lamb by Old MacDonald because of his mistreatment by the other sheep. Gordon even once took her on a date to the movies, but the lamb sat between them. She and her lamb are no help of finding Mother Goose.


 * Lou: Mary's pet lamb who was given to her by Old MacDonald due to the other sheep on the farm mistreating him ever since his father ran off with a goat when he was young. He can't help following Mary around wherever she goes. Somehow, he is allergic to wool and doesn't know the meaning of the word "redundant", not to mention that he hates hearing the word "mutton". He and Mary are no help of finding Mother Goose.


 * Peter Piper: A red-haired man in an island-themed pickled pepper patch who always speaks in tongue twister and gets blamed for everything. When the search party gets a note, he tells them that it was written by the Crooked Man.


 * The Crooked Man: A fellow who is crooked, but not a villain. He writes a note telling the search party to bring money and chili dogs for him, his cat, and his mouse if they want to see Mother Goose again (even though he hasn't kidnapped her). The search party takes him with them, but then they realize that Mother Goose is in real world and let him go along with his pets.


 * Jack and Jill: Jack is a blue-haired man and Jill is a red-haired woman. They always get into a fight while doing their rhyme. The search party asks them for a pail of water to refill the car's radiator.

When Gordon tells them that he'll get the water himself, they leave to get their hair done.

 * Old King Cole: The king of merriment who is the merriest of souls. He dislikes fighting and hearing the word "serious" so when Gordon says it, he gets thrown in the dungeon by His Majesty. His other prisoners are Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the Lion and the Unicorn. Little Bo Peep and Old MacDonald explain to Old King Cole the situation, and the king comes to his senses. Once he releases Gordon and his other prisoners, he tells the search party to go see Humpty Dumpty. He also only has one man and one horse that was given to His Majesty by Old MacDonald.


 * Little Boy Blue: A blue-haired saxophone player in Old King Cole's music band.


 * The Happies: Two clowns in Old King Cole's dungeon who are to drill the meaning of merriment into the prisoners until they scream with laughter.

 * The Lion and the Unicorn: Two male animals who Old King Cole locked in his dungeon for fighting over his crown. On the way to the real world, the two animals (who have been taught to jump by the Cow) join the search party, each carrying a Tweedle brother. They join the gang in the end, promising to never fight again for the rest of their lives.


 * Four and twenty blackbirds: A swarm of blackbirds who appear in a pie for merriment.


 * Humpty Dumpty: A wall-sitting egg who always jokes a lot like Old King Cole. The search party asks him how to get to outer space in order to save Mother Goose, but he just keeps on joking. Old MacDonald warns him that he'll fall if he doesn't stop joking, but Humpty doesn't listen and falls anyway.


 * All the King's Horses and all the King's Men: Old King Cole's henchmen. They are really only just one man and one horse given to the king by Old MacDonald in order to make room for Neigh-Neigh. When the horse and the man show up to fix Humpty, they say that they can't because they forgot the glue (which frightens Neigh-Neigh).


 * Georgie Porgie: A bartender who doesn't understand what the search party is talking about until he sees that Mother Goose is still missing on TV.


 * The Three Little Kittens: A musical cat band at Georgie Porgie's bar.


 * The Three Blind Mice: A trio of mice who are detectives, they're not really blind; but are always seen in black and white. Gordon asks them to help find Mother Goose, but they can't. However, they are talented dancers.


 * Simple Simon: A guitar-playing man with short-term memory loss. The search party takes him to the fair for its last day, but he doesn't tell them how to find Mother Goose.


 * Little Jack Horner: A fellow at the fair who pulls plums out of pies with his thumb.


 * Jack Be Nimble: A fellow at the fair who nearly burns himself while jumping over candlesticks.


 * The Mouse: The Mouse from Hickory Dickory Dock who runs up clocks at the fair.


 * The Cat: The Cat from Hey Diddle Diddle who runs the fair. He gave up playing his fiddle once he made enough money for the fair. He even tells the audience to come see the Cow jump over the moon. The search party asks him if they can borrow the Cow, but he refuses to let them; so they take the Cow. As the Cow jumps, the search party finds the Cat (who thinks that Cow is being stolen), the Dish and the Spoon (who were trying to stop the Cat) are uninvitingly joining them. In the end, the Cat (who once again takes up fiddling), the Cow, the Dish, and the Spoon decide to quit show business and join the gang.


 * The Cow: The Cow from Hey Diddle Diddle who was given to the fair by Old MacDonald when he found that she could be useful for the fair, she even taught the Lion and the Unicorn how to jump like her to keep her company. When the search party realizes that she can jump over the moon, they need her to get to real world so they can rescue Mother Goose; but the Cat refuses to let them borrow her. So the Dish and the Spoon help the party to sneak the Cow. The Cow tells the party that she'll take them over the moon. So they ride on her back as she jumps over the moon and takes them to real world. While jumping, she and the gang find the Cat, the Dish and the Spoon hanging on to her tail, tagging along with the Tweedle twins, the Lion and the Unicorn. In the end, the Cat, the Cow, the Dish, and the Spoon decide to quit show business and join the gang.


 * The Dish and the Spoon: A giant female plate and a giant male spoon. Both are from Hey Diddle Diddle and seen at the fair, but neither of them run away. They overhear the search party say that need to borrow the Cow to rescue Mother Goose. So when the Cat refuses to let the party borrow the Cow, the Dish and the Spoon help them to sneak the Cow. When the Cow jumps, she and the search party find the Cat, the Dish, and the Spoon tagging along (because the Cat thought that the party was stealing the Cow while the Dish and the Spoon tried to stop him). In the end, the Cat, the Cow, the Dish, and the Spoon decide to quit show business and join the gang.


 * Michael: A little boy from the real world who is Mother Goose's biggest fan. He takes Mother Goose to have her rhymes acted out rather than read them, but he doesn't know that taking Mother Goose takes away Rhymeland until Gordon, Little Bo Peep, Old MacDonald, and the others tell him so. Michael realizes what he had done and apologizes, then he puts everyone back in the nursery rhyme book they came from.

Little Bo Peep: We're not in Rhymeland anymore.

Little Bo Peep: Mistress Mary Quite Contrary, how does your garden grow?

Mary Quite Contrary: Oh, it's a mess! The silver bells aren't ringing, the cockleshells are being eaten by aphids, and the pretty maids are getting uglier by the minute. Mm! Besides, the rototiller's on the blink and the gophers are the size of Buicks.

Old MacDonald: Yeah, I kind of know the feeling.

Three Blind Mice: [as Gordon enters] What's your case?

Gordon Goose: Excuse me.

Three Blind Mice: You got a problem or something?

Gordon Goose: Yeah, my mother is gone.

Three Blind Mice: Yeah, tell us another one, babe.

Gordon Goose: No, I'm a dude, Gordon Goose.

Three Blind Mice: Dude, babe, everyone's equal in our eyes.

Gordon Goose: Yeah, but I'm not.

Three Blind Mice: It's not your office, babe.

Gordon Goose: Dude.

Three Blind Mice: Whatever.

Mary: This little lamb is ruining my life. I go to the supermarket, he goes to the supermarket. I go to the restaurant, he goes to the restaurant and over-tips. I go to the bathroom, he goes to the bathroom and takes forever, and I can't take it anymore! Why can't you just take him back, Old MacDonald?

Old MacDonald: Because you must accept what is given to you, whether you like it or not. And you can't ever take back what you give. Even if I could take him back, the other sheep would still treat him poorly again.

Lou the Lamb: Well, I don't want to go back to that farm anyway.

Old MacDonald: Besides, Mary, that's life for you. You're going to have to live with it or better yet, accept it. I mean, my farm, for example, it's my life and I don't want any other. My whole family has run that farm for generations. My father and his father and his father and all their fathers, all the way back to Reginald Roland Socrates MacDonald who started the farm a hundred years ago.

Mary: I hear you, but I still can't take it anymore.

Lou the Lamb: Fine! You think it's a picnic following you around? Na-a-a-a! You don't like it? There's the door. Don't worry about me, I'll survive, because wherever you go, I'll be sure to follow.

Old MacDonald: See what I mean?
