protagonist of Disney’s very first
animated feature film magic mirror on
the wall who is the fairest one of all
this fairy tale princess used her
hopeful tone and innocent longing for
Prince Charming to entrace the Seven
Dwarves

first fictional female character to earn
a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
number four Minnie Mouse what’s a mouse
without his girl by his side with her
delicate giggles bubbly personality and
sweetheart Minnie is the ideal female
companion to Mickey Mouse and though she
has played the damsel in distress a few
times

lovable dog stands on two feet and calls

shorts goofy has also spent time on the
big and small screens often alongside
his son max well how about Hawaii not

Donald Duck easily annoyed and sometimes
hard to understand there’s just
something about this sailor suit wearing
duck that we can’t help but love
