No coordinates to figure out, just 50 animated characters. Have fun.
RASH Puzzle Rules: The clues are mixtures of components (words or syllables) that, when verbally replaced with appropriate counterparts, will integrate into answers that correspond to the puzzle’s theme.
1.Relatives are like things. Apples and oranges are relatives in the fruit family; Cupid and Blitzen are relatives in Santa’s reindeer; Mars and Jupiter are relatives in the family of planets.
2.Antonyms are opposites: black and white, will and won’t, now and then.
3.Synonyms are different words with similar meanings: yellow and amber, cold and brisk, trash and rubbish, near and close.
4.Homophones/homonyms. Homophones are pronounced the same, have different meanings, and may or may not have the same spelling: merry, marry and Mary. Homonyms have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings: bank (edge of a river, carom, or depository).
Here are a few explanatory notes to help you solve:
•If you can get a part of a clue, you can usually reason through the twisted combination of “nyms” to get the whole answer.
•Italicized words identify homonyms that are not exact, but close. For example, Panel Moms might translate into Jury Mothers. Jury Mothers may be as close as we could get to Jerry Mathers. Such rough homonyms are denoted in italics to alert the solver to beware.
•Hyphens separate partial word (usually a syllable) clues. For example, Craft-panel could translate to Art (synonym for craft) – jury (synonym for panel). This could represent Archery (translating the appropriate homophones).
•Multiple words with no spaces or hyphens constitute a single syllable or word. (For example, foursidedfigure could be replaced by square, rhombus, rectangle, etc.)
•Underlined words or letters are not replaced; they are left as-is. For example, the remains untranslated as the in the answer.

17. Scooby-Doo
27. Shrek
Okay, is it Estuary=Marsh->Mouse? That doesn't seem close enough, so I'm probably missing something obvious.
Can someone explain how "Dopeslap Chateau" leads to DeVil?
The #7 clue is conflating Wiley Coyote and Wile E. Coyote to give Wiley E. Coyote. And I think the "Him" part of the clue should have been italicized, to be consistent with "She" in #36.
I don't think Fat Albert Albert is right for "Enormous All Derriere". There's no hyphen, so the answer should be a three-part name, and the last part can't just sound similar to a synonym for derriere.
It seems odd to have Alfred E. Neuman and Bazooka Joe in a list of animated characters, but those answers are obviously right.

Estuary = mouth
Dopeslap = duh, chateau = villa

I think it is, unless plasticene's objection to Fat Albert for 44. is correct.
