Chip Walk (extremes only)
Extremes for a walk cycle of "Chip" . I believe the animator of this walk is Bill Justice. (This is the extremes only, exposed on 3's. Would be inbetweened on 1's.)
Limping Peg Leg walk cycle
Not sure who animated this interesting peg-legged limping walk cycle .
(if this is yours let me know in the comments so I can credit your properly.)

Wacky Robot walk cycle by Kimberley Palmer
Funny walk cycle of a wacky robot animated by Kimberley Palmer.
"My Bunny Lies over the Sea" walks
Two funny walks from "My Bunny Lies over the Sea".
First , a walk cycle of McCroary playing the bagpipes. (nice animated ground plane effect on this) -
Next, Bugs impersonates an elderly Scotsman neighbor of McCroary's . Check out the great "stagger" tremble on the knees and the arms.
I've looped it several times longer than it appears in the actual film, so the Background jumps back to the beginning which makes for a slightly disconcerting "pop" at that point , but the cycle works fine if you just keep your eyes on Bugs , not the BG. (unfortunately the only clip I could find of this has the subtitles partially obscuring Bugs' legs. I'll keep a lookout for a better version with no subtitles).

Jessica Rabbit walk from "Tummy Trouble"
Jessica Rabbit walk from "Tummy Trouble", animated by Roger Chiasson. I've looped it so it cycles, but the BG jumps each time it starts over , but other than that little jump this works ok as a cycle to study.
Image quality isn't great on this clip, but the best I have for now. I'll try to replace it with a better quality grab.
Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear by Eric Larson
Creative walks on Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear animated by Eric Larson for Disney's "Song of the South".
(old VHS tape so the color's not very good. But the beautiful movement of the animation still shines through.)

Tissa David and Phil Duncan walk cycles for Hubley films
Two different walk cycles , done for two different films directed by John Hubley. These originally appeared on Michael Sporn's wonderful blog . (if you don't have it bookmarked go visit there right now and bookmark it . Michael is running a blog which is a combination animation history/animation technique university course , conducted via blogging. Michael is a font of valuable information about the art and craft of animation. )
This first walk is from the Hubley-directed "Upkeep" , animated by Tissa David:
And this walk by Phil Duncan , from Hubley's "Of Men and Demons" --
Here's another Tissa David walk , of an old villager from R.O. Blechman's "The Soldier's Tale"
