Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck meet your
grandkids hi welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10
modern Disney characters all right let’s
make some magic for this list we’ve
included only lead characters in
animated movies starting in 1989 with
the release of The Little Mermaid
Pixar films are not included number 10
Tarzan Tarzan is cool end of story he’s
buff he swings around on trees and he
lives with gorillas don’t even think
about ok that’s not so different from a
lot of frat boys but Tarzan is also
incredibly brave conscientious and
sensitive oh I see
oh I see Tarzan oh I see no no dip nope
I’m Jane it doesn’t hurt that he has
some sweet Phil Collins tunes that
follow him around wherever he goes
either
hmm well I guess Pascal’s not hiding out
here number nine Rapunzel tangled yeah
mix wide-eyed innocence and childlike
excitement with determination
selflessness and just a pinch or two of
goofiness and you’ve got Rapunzel
Saburo Phoenix folks have to come for me
easily one of the most endearing
characters ever to grace a Disney film
no I am seeing those lanterns oh come on
Rapunzel is so full of joy that even
sour pusses find a soft spot for her
calling
like the first time ever and I can
plus she packed a mean frying pan what
else could one want in a person I do too
number eight Belle Beauty and the Beast
waking up to Disney films have always
had awesome heroines but Belle was
really the first one who could be
considered a modern woman what do you
know about my dreams guest on others
before her were smart and brave but none
are as self-sufficient papa he’s not for
me or is filled with an ambition to
discover all life has to offer in the
great
I wanted more than I can tell yes Bell
still gets rescued by Beast in the film
but she also rescues him making them
true equals in love and life heaven us
before ever just as sure as the Sun will
rise number 7 Emperor Kuzco the
Emperor’s New Groove no one has ever
been this cool in a thousand years of
aristocracy most Disney heroes are
essentially good-hearted and Noble if
occasionally flawed Wow look at these
wrinkles what is holding this woman
together but with Kuzco you first have
to travel through a lot of selfishness
ego and vanity to find any good what do
you say goes gun whoa no touchy no
touchy
even when turned into a llama hey croc
can you top me off they’ll be a friend
this Incan Emperor remains as egocentric
as ever I’ll just snap my fingers and
order her to change me back and his
sassiness and self-absorption make him
irresistible
that’s her kidnapping me – take me to
your village which I’m still gonna
destroy by the way ahem
don’t touch me sure he’s taught a lesson
by the end but he still got a lot more
to learn
number six Elsa frozen Elsa The Snow
Queen of frozen is easily one of
Disney’s most fascinating characters
she’s born with a power she doesn’t want
and doesn’t know how to use worse she’s
taught to hide and be ashamed of it
please just stay away from me stay away
come on stop my mouth ah is it any
wonder that when it breaks free it
transforms her Elsa struggle strikes a
chord with anyone who’s felt ashamed of
their differences her triumph over it
teaches us all how to accept ourselves
as we are plus that ice power is just
wicked the earth is just a dead thing
you can claim number 5
Pocahontas entry and creature has a life
has a spirit has a name Disney’s
Pocahontas is keenly intelligent but
also possesses the kind of innate wisdom
that only comes from living not learning
we’ve improved the lives of savages all
over the world savages but not that
you’re a savage just my people the
Native American princess is just proud
of and loyal to her own people but is
also able to see the value in other
people’s if you kill him you’ll have to
kill me too daughter stand back I won’t
plus she’s brave enough to offer herself
to save the one she loves my daughter
speaks with the wisdom beyond her years
we have all come here with anger in our
arts but she comes with courage and
understanding even more impressive she
can give up the one she loves for the
good of her people come with me
the girl has got it all going on you
must choose your own path
number four Moulin mais you see straight
through your
Milan continued the modern tradition of
presenting heroines with lives not
defined by the search for a man I see
you have a sword I have one too the very
manly and tough Moulin instead poses as
a man and goes to war I’m working on it
and not for her own needs but in order
to save her dear father no other Disney
character is as brave as she is and few
are as resourceful or as selfless ping
you are the craziest man I’ve ever met
and for that I owe you my life and she’s
got some epic moves with that sword
number three Simba The Lion King
you know how it is your uncle kills your
father and then convinces you it was
your fault Simba well the reason you
tried to save me
it was snags now I didn’t mean for it to
happen okay that’s enough to give any
kid a complex he never gets over run
away Simba
run run away and never return
sure it affects Simba but when push
comes to shove he man’s up and avenges
his father’s death this is my kingdom if
I don’t fight for it Oh will
Simba’s character growth from cute
little cub to someone deserving of the
title Lion King is inspiring exciting
and fun the choice is yours scar either
step down our fight oh must is all end
in violence number 2 Ariel The Little
Mermaid Ariel is a lovable engaging
heroine who like all of us isn’t perfect
we have such a lovely dinner guests hey
Eric
her determination to get what she wants
leads to all sorts of trouble for both
herself and those nearest and dearest to
her you went up to the surface again
didn’t you didn’t you nothing happened
Oh Ariel how many times must we go
through this you could have been seen by
one of those barbarians by by one of
those humans daddy they’re not
barbarians
they’re dangerous but it’s that same
determination that leads her to make any
sacrifice to correct her wrongs and
audiences love her for it and you don’t
know why but you’re dying to try you
wanna kiss today did you hear something

few honorable mentions I will find my

a crick in the neck our guy al is wily
