Character driven versus plot driven

As i said earlier the narrative helps characterisation and characterization helps narrative, but there are also various different ways in which the narrative can be driven, the two ways i will be focusing on in this post is:

Character driven narrative

V.s

Plot driven narrative

there are tons of  prime examples of character driven animation, the majority being classic cartoons from the 90's which include:

Recess

The simpsons

Family Guy

A couple of these are still running now, which adds to my argument before about the success being down to the characterization. e.g.: the Simpsons being yellow with distinct features, people know its from the Simpsons due to its characterization.

So we define it as character driven due to the way in which the characters define the plot due to their individual characteristics, instead of the plot defining the characters in plot driven narrative.

The plot is driven by these characters being in an environment together, generally hilarity ensues but that is not always the case.
