Okay, we can agree one thing: Timon and Pumbaa are the best duo in the entire universe :D And for me, they are better than any animated characters ever! I am SO glad they got their own movie :D
Also for me, even in Aladdin 2 you see that, when Aladdin says "I wish my father were here (at his wedding)" and the Genie tells him "if your father were here, he would be as proud as I am" He is cute as he always calls Al always jaja
That's too bad leaving Jiminy out. He is my favorite. But on the other hand he is a mentor figure - right up there with the Blue Fairy, Rafiki, Grandmother Willow, Mama Odie, Tanana, and Merlin.
I agree with the pure Disney animation choices 100%. However I wish they kept this solely Disney animation animation and exclude Pixar for they deserve a list of its own.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Timothy at the end there - he should have been on the list. He threw in his lot with Dumbo purely because the poor little guy needed a friend, and then proceeded to stick with him through thick and thin. A better and more loyal companion you could not possibly find - he should have been at the HEAD of this list, or at least somewhere in the top three.
Laura Annecchini I completely agree with you. Jaq and Gus were one of the best character as well as friend. They're existent in the movie was very important, but why i think they should be higher, is because they were the best family of Cinderella. Cinderella's parents passed away, and she was left with her step mother and sisters, who treated her as slaves. At times when she was lonely or sad, they were always with her. If they weren't there, Cinderella would not have been the kind and strong woman she is. They're the kind of friends that would get angry for you, cry for you, and fight for you. They're more loyal than anyone else. that's why I think of them as her family.
When I watched Mulan for the first time and Mushu said his first line I instantly recognize him as Eddy Murphy and I just KNEW he'd be responsible for a more comic side of this movie, and dang, that's what we got. (Now I also recognized him as Donkey in Shrek, where he's actually also a sidekick). Both are done in a way only Murphy can do it. Now we mustn't forget about Cri-Kee, as that character also did a great job making the movie great. Due to Tink serving as Disney's mascot now, you'd almost forget she's originally a sidekick, and hard to bear do to her jealous behavior towards Wendy. And yet, that is what makes her such a brilliant character indeed. And since she can't talk, that makes it all the more difficult to give her shape, as words were not needed to know what she wants. Now I missed Ray from the princess and the Frog. A very fun character, and also tragic due to his impossible love for a star. Yet, he does show his bravery by doing his part and getting himself killed by Dr. Facilier for that. And speaking of the princess and the frog, let's not forget our jazz trumpet playing alligator Louis. If it wasn't for him the owners of the building where Tania's restaurant would get into would have tried to find another excuse not to sell it to her. I don't like jazz music, I'll be honest, but in this movie I could bear it thanks to Louis.... ;)
I liked Tinker Bell in Return to Neverland she was a bit bratty and mean, but after reviving from death she helped Jane and they became friends. I loved the scene ware Jane sees Tinker Bell unconscious and she wakes up seeing Jane is a loyal member of Peter's Group.
Ooooook... Am I the only one who thinks that Pascal & Maximus should've made the list instead of Olaf? I still can't believe people like Frozen more than Tangled.
No I'm the same. I was really hoping Pascal and Maximus would have a place on this list. It's weird some people say they prefer Frozen to Tangled because it's more about girl power and not needing men to save them. It's like have they even watched Tangled- she saves HIM for the most part. Plus I also much prefer the characters and music in Tangled.
Pascal deserves a spot on this list not only on the honorable mentions, because he tried to save Rapunzel from Gothel by biting her, I know it’s not the same but it was so cute when he did it.
I'm glad Tinker Bell, and Timon and Pumbaa were in this video because they were my old-time favourite sidekick characters in Disney movies since I was a child.
The genie never felt like a sidekick to me so with that I say for many reasons that timon and pumbaa are number 1 like they made 2 words no one ever heard of or know what it means and they made it into a phenomenon
You guys should do a video on best sidekick duos. For example Crikee and Mushu would be one, Genie and the Magic Carpet, Sebastian and Flounder are other good examples
Broken Quill92 why is he on the list! Sebastian should be here and higher than flounder is. Great songs, character development and a very important role in the film more than flounder
Elaini Young Yeah I almost feel sorry for Will Smith! No one can live up to Robin William's performance ( but I'm sure he'll be great)! #RIPRobinWilliams
okay but pascal and maximus should've been ranked somewhere besides honorable mentioned. without maximus, flynn and rapunzel wouldn't have escaped the guards and pascal was the one who tripped mother gothel, making her fall out the window.
Mrgahoolefan , no. That's stupid. Duh, obviously the main character is the one the story revolves around, the side kick is a friend like flounder to Ariel, who helps her and is her friend
If you think Olaf is cute, you'll love the little animation of him whenever you scan a Frozen themed Crest or Oral-B product with the Disney Magic Timer!
When I was growing up, my favorite Disney sidekicks were Jacques and Trusty (Lady and the Tramp), Thumper and Flower (Bambi), and Archimedes (Sword in the Stone), as well as Jaq and Gus from Cinderella. :)
Where is: Baloo - from The Jungle Book. The Aliens - from Toy Story franchise. Riley's emotions (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear & Disgust) - from Inside Out. Baymax - from Big Hero 6.
Riley's Emotions are not sidekicks! Maybe Anger, Fear and Disgust could be considered sidekicks, and we all have a soft spot for Bing Bong. RIP Bing Bong
I wouldn't put Jac and Gus Gus as sidekicks, because you said "the greatest friends ". Also Flounder is only a friend to Ariel . I spotted sometimes you said the word "friends" . So I am going to give this a 7 out of 10 because of the word "friends" and all the facts .
I can give you a very good reason why Genie deserves to be the number one best pic. While Aladdin was bonded by Jafar as a giant snake, he looked at the Genie and got an idea to persuade Jafar to make his final third wish to make himself a Genie too since in truth (no lie this time) that Genie gave Jafar power and can take it back. When he did, Jafar became a powerful Genie, but becomes prisoner by his own lamp, which gives Aladdin an advantage to imprison him, along with Iago. Without the Genie, it would be a draw between Aladdin and Jafar, except Jafar has a snake staff. BONUS: Speaking of snake staff (consider it as a dedication to How It Should Have Ended), if Jafar knew that the only way to become sultan of Agrabah is to marry Princess Jasmine, why not use the snake staff to hypnotize her father, and convince him to approve the marriage between Princess Jasmine and Jafar? True that it would really cut the movie short, but it's kind of obvious with that staff of his. And as for lamp, he can get it after marriage, except he'll need Aladdin (diamond in the rough). But this time, instead of disguising himself as an old man, show himself in person, and offer Aladdin full pardon in exchange for the lamp. And to make sure that there are no set backs, Abu will have to stay behind. Then Aladdin rides with carpet, delivers the lamp to Jafar (poor Genie), Aladdin and Abu ride on carpet to a whole new world, etc. Sorry for getting ahead of myself. I was too excited about Genie to earn the top stop. I knew that he would win it. And to my conclusion of my post, all I can say is one thing: RIP Robin Williams, you're truly a friend like me.
MOHAMMED GEEDI: And finally, without further ado, my #1 favourite disney sidekicks of all time are - Timon & Pumbaa from the 1994 animated disney film: The Lion King.
