Disney has brought us brave and fantastic heroes and alluringly badass villains, but this list is in honor of the less praised but equally wonderful Disney sidekicks. Disney animated originals only.
10. Terk, Tarzan
Terk is cheeky and sticks by Tarzan through thick and thin.
9. Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio
A cricket with some great life advice and an unbeatable name.
8. Lumiére and Cogsworth, Beauty and the Beast
The castle is creepy and the idea of a talking clock and candelabra is even creepier. Still, the duo are so charming that we wish we were their guests.
7. Tinkerbell, Peter Pan
7th place might seem a little low for such an iconic character but we love you Tinkerbell and we do believe in fairies, we do, we do!
6. Flounder, Little Mermaid
Flounder is an adorably anxious little fish but always shows up for Ariel in her time of need.
5. Piglet, Winnie the Pooh
Pooh would not be the same without his fretful little sidekick, Piglet.
4. Timon and Pumba, The Lion King
‘Hankuna Matata’ might just be the best advice Disney has ever given us and it came from Timon and Pumba.
3. Baloo, The Jungle Book
Baloo is the most lovable bear (ok, apart from Winnie the Pooh) and is the best sidekick for Mowgli when he needs to learn a thing or two about the good life.
2. Sebastian, Little Mermaid
THE most charming crab (or lobster?) we have ever seen.
1. Mushu, Mulan
“I am the guardian of lost souls! I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu!” Mushu is a real dragon – not a lizard! He’s also one of Disney’s most popular characters and wins best sidekick for his unbeatable charm and charisma.
