First brought to life in the early 1950s, which of these iconic mascots was given a backstory, including a mom, wife, and a little daughter named Antoinette?

Tony the Tiger was first introduced in 1951, beating out the competition - Elmo the Elephant, Katy the Kangaroo, and Newt the Gnu. When it was time for Tony to be officially drawn, the job was given to Quartet Films, made up of former Disney animators who were also responsible for Snap, Crackle, and Pop, and the Jolly Green Giant.
