The Top 101 Disney Characters of All-Time (60-51)

On this countdown, we have now reached the end of the first 50 characters after today. Before we finish these first 50 characters, let's recap...

101-91

90-81

80-71
70-61

 60. Bullseye

Bullseye is my 3rd favorite character in Toy Story. I only like Buzz and Rex more than Bullseye. I even prefer Bullseye to Woody. This character is so loyal and friendly and awesome. In Toy Story 3, he even tries to accompany Woody when nobody else would knowing it would mean he went to the attic. He is probably the most loyal and friendly of the whole group. He's a great character and worthy of the top 60.

59. Maximus

This may be high for a newer character who can't talk, but I don't think so. Tangled was an absolutely brilliant movie and it wouldn't have been as good without Maximus. His interaction with Rapunzel is priceless. The fights with Flynn Rider are legendary. He eventually is put in charge of the entire army during the movie. Maximus is a great character and one of Disney's finest.

58. Flik

Flik is the hero in A Bug's Life. Eventually, Flik thinks of a way to topple one of the greatest Disney Villains ever, Hopper. This guy absolutely belongs in the top 60. He even hosts his own show at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

57. LaunchPad McQuack

LanchPad McQuack is the pilot in DuckTales and Darkwing Duck's sidekick. These are two of Disney's most popular cartoons and LanchPad played a huge role in both. I struggled a lot with where to put him because he was not a lead character. However, he plays a big role in two shows that were huge successes for Disney. He obviously had to be behind the two main characters of the shows, but I believe he fits in nicely here at #57.

56. Scrooge McDuck

Uncle Scrooge is perhaps from the greatest Disney TV Show of all-time. I have it at #3 behind Darkwing Duck and Talespin, but many would have it #1. Everyone knows the theme song from Ducktales and the Scrooge is the boys Uncle. He also happens to play Mr.Scrooge in Disney's A Christmas Carol (the animated version).

55. Zurg

Zurg is a top 10 Disney Villain. He is also the Disney Villain whose section is the closest to the Transportation and Ticket Center at Magic Kingdom. Bonus points for being the closest character to the theme park. Zurg is Buzz's arch-rival and the target in Space Ranger Spin where you try to help Buzz and the Space Rangers defeat Zurg. Being the bad guy on the second best ride in the Magic Kingdom and in the greatest Pixar franchise are definitely worth inclusion on this list. The only question is, should he be higher?

54. Rabbit

This may seem low for Rabbit, especially from a Pooh lover like myself, but it fits. Rabbit unlike the 4 main characters (Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore) is not so friendly and likable. He often yells at Tigger for bouncing on his property or Pooh for eating to much. He is like that old guy yelling "get off my lawn." I realize you need characters like that, but I've never been a fan. I wouldn't go so far as to suggest he is a villain like some, but I don't think he adds that much to the Winnie the Pooh franchise.

53. Perry the Platypus

Perry the Platypus is another character that could be way higher or a little lower depending on who you are. Many young people would have Perry in their top 20. While older people without kids wouldn't have him as high. Let me tell you, if you have kids or teach kids, this guy is one of their favorite characters. It was my nephew's favorite show until very recently and he loved the Platypus. My students of all ages have Platypus backpacks. If more older people knew who he was, he would be a top 30 character. This guy is featured across Disney Parks and very prominent in the Disney Universe.

52. Pete

Pete maybe should be higher on this list. Many would have him as a Top 10 character. He is one of two official Disney Villain characters to be featured in the classic cartoons (the other is Big Bad Wolf). This guy was the arch-nemesis of Mickey Mouse and has played a rival throughout the years. In Mickey Mouse Clubhouse he is the most frequent of the non-main characters to appear. He isn't really a bad guy, but offers an interesting twist in that show. In a Goofy Movie, Pete is Goofy's best friend and he is well known for that as well. Pete is a huge Disney character.

51. Rex

Rex is the 4th highest Toy Story character on this countdown and is my second favorite character. Outside of Woody and Buzz, I don't know that there is a more beloved character from the franchise than Rex. Based on Toy Story Toons on Disney Jr.,Rex may be Bonnie's favorite toy of all. He may be the lead character in Toy Story 4 if that is the case. Rex is a great additional character in the Toy Story franchise and a vital part of the story.

Ranking the Best Disney Songs

Hello blog world, it sure has been a while.

We have been thinking about posting back on this site and with a recent Disney Song ranking, we have seen the perfect opportunity. Buzzfeed did a ranking of their top Disney Songs here. Since we are Disney experts at this point, and have seen all of the movies, we thought our list could be much better than their list. Noland, being the bigger Disney fanatic between us, has posted his list below along with the Buzzfeed ranking for each song and a link.

I decided to use the same rules that Buzzfeed used.
"All songs are from animated films that were released in theaters.
All songs must be sung by the character in the movie.
No sequels.
All films made by Walt Disney Studies. So, no Pixar."
I also didn't use James and the Giant Peach and Nightmare Before Christmas which Buzzfeed did. To me Toy Story is way more Disney than those two movies.

Unranked By Buzzfeed

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh also got no love from Buzzfeed. Despite being the movie that brought us many sequels, TV shows, rides, books, etc. This movie and the songs in it were fantastic. The movie was the basis for the ride at Walt Disney World.

Buzzfeed Ranking #12

46. "Beauty and the Beast" - Beauty and the Beast

I actually enjoy this movie and the music, but this song is a tad overrated IMO. Too slow for me personally. Good song, but not top 5 worthy as Buzzfeed suggests.

24. "Kiss the Girl" - The Little Mermaid
Buzzfeed Ranking #36

23. "In Summer" - Frozen

Olaf is the best character in Frozen let's face it. This is an amazingly happy song and definitely top 25 worthy.

21. "Heigh-Ho" - Snow White

18. "Up, Down, Touch the Ground" - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

As a PE guy and a Winnie the Pooh fanatic this has to be near the top for me. 

17. "Everybody Wants to Be A Cat" - The Aristocats
Buzzfeed Ranking #71

16. "No Strings" - Pinocchio
Buzzfeed Ranking #95

15. "Go The Distance" - Hercules

Buzzfeed Ranking #60

11. "Be Our Guest" - Beauty and the Beast
Buzzfeed Ranking #41

10. "I Just Can’t Wait to Be King" - The Lion King
Buzzfeed Ranking #8

Buzzfeed nailed it with this one. This is clearly a top 10 song. It is so full of energy and so great. It is also the best part of Mickey's Philar Magic at Walt Disney World (which is one of our favorite attractions).

09. "Under the Sea" - The Little Mermaid
Buzzfeed Ranking #20

This song is in a lot of people's top 5 Disney songs and for good reason. It is the most memorable part of the movie and is the song people think about with the movie. It is featured brilliantly on the new ride at Magic Kingdom for the Little Mermaid. Disney nailed it with this happy upbeat song.

08. "A Whole New World" - Aladdin
Buzzfeed Ranking #3

This song, also a part of Philar Magic is another one on many people's top 5 Disney Songs. For many people it is the #2 song that Disney did. Until recently, I wouldn't have had this in my top 10, but my wonderful wife has got me hooked on Aladdin now.

07. "I Wanna Be Like You" - The Jungle Book
Buzzfeed Ranking #38

The Jungle Book is my #1 movie and King Louie is a top 5 Disney character for me. That might make me a little biased towards this song, but let's be honest, it is fantastic. Another cheerful, happy, great sounding song from this movie. Jungle Book has one of the best soundtracks of any Disney movie. In my opinion, it has the best soundtrack.

06. "I’ve Got A Dream" - Tangled
Unranked By Buzzfeed

Amazing that this song was not ranked by Buzzfeed. In fact, Tangled got very little recognition period. This song is incredible and goes along with the whole theme of Disney. It was so unexpected and wonderful the 1st time you heard it and it doesn't disappoint after that. Hearing all of the dreams in the song is awesome.

05. "I’ll Make a Man Out Of You" - Mulan
Buzzfeed Ranking #13

Hearing this song is what actually got me to sit and watch Mulan. It is a pretty good movie and this is clearly the best part of it. It's irony and awesomeness amazes me. Oh ya, it sounds pretty terrific too.

04. "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Unranked By Buzzfeed

Easily the biggest omission of the entire list. This song is in nearly every Winnie the Pooh movie ever created (and there are a lot). It announces the arrival of an iconic Disney character and is his undisputed theme song. This song certainly should have been on the list. I could argue it on any spot but #1.

03. "The Bare Necessities" - The Jungle Book
Buzzfeed Ranking #16

As I said earlier, I may be a bit biased towards the Jungle Book, but I don't think so here. This song encourages people to focus on the important things in life and not worry about other things. It also is the theme song of the greatest character in all of Disney IMO. Baloo hit a home run with this classic.

02. "Hakuna Matata" - The Lion King
Buzzfeed Ranking #23

This song was the most memorable from the movie and was the focus for a large part of it. It was the theme song for two of the most lovable characters in all of Disney. The best part of this movie though is that it encourages people to not focus on the past.

01. "When You Wish Upon A Star" - Pinocchio
Buzzfeed Ranking #1

Buzzfeed nailed it here. The Disney unofficial theme song and clear choice for #1. This is the only spot on the whole countdown where I matched Buzzfeed exactly.

Disney Movie Countdown

Hi everyone this is Noland...not Jenna. Jenna and I love to watch movies and we find ourselves watching Disney movies all of the time. I even gave Jenna Lion King 1 1/2 in her Easter Basket, and Fox and the Hound to our baby we are anxiously awaiting. So I decided to do my top Disney list and Jenna will post hers soon. They match up pretty well, although I have one way higher than her and she will have the same. We decided not to include Marvel movies, even though they are now owned by Disney, and only do animated movies too. Otherwise Remember the Titans would definitely be on mine. Enjoy the countdown 10 to 1 and leave some comments!

When I went to work on this list I could have sworn Rio was a Disney movie, but apparently it is not. That movie would have easily been top 5 if it was a Disney movie.

10) Fantasia

Some people are surprised that I like Fantasia so much. I actually like Fantasia 2000 too. As someone that did not like the Pink Panther some think that I would not like the lack of dialogue. However, I think the music and short scenes blend perfectly. Not usually my cup of tea with the music, but I like this.

9) Toy Story 3

This is one of the few Disney sequels to hit the mark. It was not that much worse than the first movie. No wonder this movie did so great in the box office. The one thing I did not like was Buzz being re programmed and Spanish Buzz. I am a Buzz Lightyear fan. Jenna and I had a bet about who was better between Buzz and Woody. We asked many people and the results were inconclusive although Buzz was in the lead. Maybe you all can settle the dispute. Team Buzz!

8) The Little Mermaid

There was a time when I would have said the Little Mermaid is my #3 Disney movie. I still hold it in high regard. The songs are fantastic and I like the show at Disney. I do not think it is overly girly at all. I actually like this movie better than Jenna. Since this was near the top though I saw the next three movies for the first time and really realized that I liked the 4th and 3rd movies better. I love "Under the Sea" though, it is a top 5 Disney song.

7) Meet the Robinsons

This is an unbelievable film. I cannot believe I did not see it until this past year. It has so many wonderful things about it. Also the family has a pretty great last name if I must say so myself. This was an incredibly entertaining movie. I would assume this is the movie on my countdown that the least people have scene so I won't give away too much, but I highly recommend this movie.

6) Lion King 1 1/2

As I said earlier, Disney sequels usually aren't too great. Disney tried to buck this trend by doing a new story to go along with a classic and it worked. It was not quite as good as the original, but it was pretty dang good. This movie focuses on Timon and Pumba and goes along with the original. It also had a new role for Rafiki which was interesting. My favorite part is the end when Pumba asks to watch again and a lot of other Disney character come in. You have to see it!

5) Tangled

I gotta admit I was always excited for this movie with Mandy Moore being the Disney Princess and it exceeded every expectation I had for it. It will definitely be in Jenna's top 5 as well. I would say it is the Disney movie that we watch most often and we are both huge fans of it. My favorite character is the chameleon and Rapunzel is my favorite Disney princess. The songs are fantastic, of course, and it is a very interesting story.

4) Toy Story

I went back and forth between this and the other movie for the number 3 Disney movie and eventually went against this movie. However, if I did the list again don't be surprised if this is the #3 movie. I left it here because the #3 movie is a bit more of a "classic." I just love Toy Story though. My personal favorite is Rex!

3) The Fox & The Hound

I bought this movie for our soon to be baby because it was the only one of my top 5 movies that we did not own yet. I wanted to share the finer point of Disney classics with our lil one. Having this movie for years will definitely be a treat. Tod and Copper are the best of friends in a very unusual set of circumstances. This movie is a classic.

2) The Lion King

The Lion King is #1 on most peoples lists, but not mine or Jenna's. You cannot refute its greatness and it is in both of our top threes. It is the movie that everyone agrees is great. An undisputed masterpiece and something that will stand the test of time. The characters and songs are amazing and this movie could easily be put as #1. If I did not love the #1 movie so much, it would have been the top movie. My favorite character in this movie is Rafiki and I just think he is awesome. The characters all play very well off each other and there is a reason all kids know Simba, Nala, Rafiki, Timon, Pumba, and Scar. Great character development in this movie.

And the number one movie....

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is the best movie by Disney by a long shot in my opinion. It has the best and most memorable songs, the most well developed character, and the best Disney Villain. Seriously, who is a better villain than Sher Khan? Baloo is the best Disney character and who can forget "I wanna be like you" and "The Bare Necessities." Honestly, this movie has my top two Disney characters because I also love King Louie. It is just an amazing film. It is unfortunate that Disney World doesn't have a Jungle Book ride and that many kids today don't even know the story. This movie which was Disney's last is a pure classic though and always will be.

Honorable Mentions: 
Lilo & Stich, The Rescuers Down Under, Return of Jafar, Winnie The Pooh, Hercules, The Incredibles
