Top 10 Disney Jerks That Got Redeemed 

Top 10 Best Superheroes Made By Disney!

Lightning McQueen will always be my favorite redeemed jerk, and that’s another reason why no Pixar film tops _Cars._

If it’s possible, can you do a top 10 reasons why the Disney direct-to-video sequels are hated video?

Top 10 Redemption Arcs in Animated Disney Shows

no Put Mayor Gene in HM.

Yeah, when happen the song What else I can do?, all of us realized that Isabella was much more than a golden girl, that was just an appearance, I loved seeing how she gets rid of that and in the end, finally she is herself

she reminds mea lot of Elsa

Turns out, she didn't even want to marry Mariano. She was just doing it for the family.

It was a good addition😉

Me too! I have 2 sisters (and brothers) and they're my favorite people in the world

And sometimes Jumba serves as the Voice of Reason to Lilo and Stitch.

Hamsterwheel is a petty evil version if Jumba didn’t redeemed himself.

Maybe Anastasia became her lady royal / lady in waiting or maybe a special title so that she can visit anytime she wants. That’s something I’d see Cinderella doing

And this is why beauty and the beast is my most favourite Disney film

"dave" his life? Typos are silly!

Imagine a future film in the Zooptoia franchise, Tails from Zooptoia or sometjing else giving Bellwether a tragic backstory behind why she became a villain and hated predators to begin with it maybe had to do with her being bullied by predators in her childhood for her species and for having dwarfism and a shy disorder. Bellwether is just a vengeful and embittered kind of villain.

They wouldn't be Disney movies if they didn't have such characters.

👍👍👍👍👍

Most of us like watching movies with only jerks in it, no good people at all

Honestly, I didn't even notice about that trope being included in a Disney movie. That's intriguing 🤔

so the Huntsman started it all???

Lighting McQueen's redeemption arc is great and so is Nick Wilde's in Zooptoia (2016). Though Nick was honestly less of a jerk than Lightning originally was.

Best Examples of Disney and Pixar redemption arcs: Amos Shale and Copper and Chief’s in The Fox and the Hound and Dixie and Cash’s in The Fox and the Hound 2. Mowgli (Despite being more of a misbehaving child in a worse condition than Pinocchio than anti-hero.) and Bagheera and King Louie offscreen in The Jungle Book. Rabbit in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, also good as gold, same for Pete’s and Donald Duck’s in the Mickey Mouse franchise. Beast/Prince Adam and Fife in Beauty and the Beast, good as gold. Wreck-It-Ralph and Princess Vanellope and Sergeant Calhoun (Wreck-It-Ralph franchise depending on your point of view.) Princess Atta in A Bug’s Life and Mike, Sulley and Tylor in the Monsters’ Inc. franchise, also good as gold. Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson and Mirage in Cars and The Incredibles are also good as gold. Marlin and King Triton’s in Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid, also good as gold. Flynn Rider in Tangled, also good as gold. Jasper and Horce’s in 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure. Maui in Moana, also good as gold. Hiro in Big Hero 6 is also good as gold. Joy in Inside Out is also good as gold. Nick Wilde, Chief Bogo and Judy Hopps in Zootopia are also good as gold. Gabby Gabby’s in Toy Story 4, and Ken’s in Toy Story 3 depending on your point of view. The anti-heroes of Raya and the Last Dragon, Hector, Miguel Isabella and Miguel’s family and matriarch in Coco and Enchanto, am I leaving any important ones out?

Oh and who can forget the hyenas like Janja and jackals like Rerei and Dogo and Konvo and Timon in The Lion King franchise?

And that’s why I love him

How was he selfish exactly?

Nick Wilde and Maui also have good character developments/redeemption arcs in Zooptoia (2016) and Moana (2016) they started off as stubborn selfish pessmistic jerks before becoming selfless and loyal and caring people who care about Judy Hopps and Moana.

Watch Mojo should make one for Universal Pictures animated characters same for 20th Century Fox animated characters and include Shrek and Puss in Boots from the Shrek franchise, Alex from Madagascar (2005), (And maybe also Marty, Melman and Gloria because they can have their flaws too.), Manny, Diego, Peaches and Ethan from the Ice Age franchise and Jewel, Eduardo and Roberto from the Rio franchise, Sour Kangaroo and the WhoVille Council from Horton Hears a Who! (2008), Branch from the Trolls franchise and RJ from Over the Hedge (2006) and Rocket from Chicken Run (2000) and the two con artists from The Road to El Dorado (2000) and Zhen from Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024), Dru and Megamind and The Bad Guys from Descipable Me (2010), the 2010 film with the same name same for 2022 film and Porsha Crystal, Judith, Suki Lane and Mike from the Sing franchise.

Why not include Nick Wilde, I guess he is not a true anti-hero right?

Jumba seems more happier being in the ohana tham he was in his lab being evil.

Dave Seville and Samantha (Live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies not cartoons.), Jewel (Rio 2), Eduardo (Rio 2), Manny (Ice Age: Continental Drift and Collision Course), Beast (Belle’s Magical World), The live-action The Cat in the Hat, King Julien (Penguins of Madagascar), Gene (Wreck-It-Ralph), Conrad and Sally, Wreck-It-Ralph and Poppy (Ralph Breaks the Internet, Simba, Kiara and Kion (The Lion Guard), Trolls World Tour), Peaches (Ice Age: Continental Drift and Collision Course) and Mavis (Hotel Transylvania 2 and Hotel Tyranslviana 4, same for Johnny in the fourth movie.) plus Chancellor Neighsay, all bad examples of jerks with hearts of gold, more like jerks with hearts of jerk and anti-heroes, Miles, Ian and Zoe (Alvin and the Chipmunks), Mr. Brown (Paddington), Rabbit (Winnie the Pooh), Snowbell and Mrs. Little (Stuart Little), Amos Shale, Aunt Sarah, Cruella De Vil, Jasper and Horace, and Edgar (The Fox and the Hound, 101 Dalamatins and The Aristocats), Mike, Judith and Suki Lane (Sing 2), (Not counting Porsha Crystal and Meena.), Chief Bogo and Mayor Lionheart (Zooptoia not counting Nick Wilde or even Judy Hopps or Gideon Gray or Bellwether), J.J.

Gallus, Smolder, Branch (Trolls), Garble, Starlight, Tempest Shadow, Ember, Queen Novo, Trixie, (Green Eggs and Ham), Once-Ler and his family and Shrek, Lord Farquaad, Captain Gutt, and Manny outside of Continental Drift and Collision Course and Mike Wasakoki and Maui and Flynn all good examples of jerks with hearts of gold and anti-heroes.

There are good redemption stories in modern Disney like Wreck It Ralph, Tangled, and Zootopia

It’s not a competition they all have their own unique charm stop being toxic Modern Disney does it in just as great of a way They all have their own unique charm i’m sorry society has conditioned you to be miserable and cynical towards wholesome and heartwarming comfort media Seems really cute to me Sorry society has conditioned you to be such a bitter and jaded soul over something so wholesome That’s your loss Have a nice day .

@@Omar-wq9dz Those were pre- 2020 Disney tho but yeah

@@chasehedges6775 Disney still has great redemptions post 2020

modern disney classic disney lmao who cares it’s the same company. Anyways isabela>>>>>

Not in my opinion. I really tried to like him but just can’t like womanizers that want a crown. 😅 some old habits don’t just change over night. Not very realistic.

@@Shastasnow bruh what how was he a womanizer and he never knew rapunzel was a princess

he wasn’t even a jerk though lol

hell yeah

​@Joanna, if you watch Disney Movies for the realism, you must be frequently disappointed

oh yeah, he was missing from the list

@@BG-be8di he sure was

He honestly wasn’t bad just needed to be independent

I would have added Nick Wilde

@@RedRobin6543 nice choice. I concur

That is a good point.

To be fair would u blame her 😂

I was

define nowadays because they definitely did that in the last 2 years

And the Beast/Prince Adam is an excellent example of that.

Good one!

And the rest of the minions except lotso.

That's not a Disney movie.

@@vetarlittorf1807 well Disney does own 20 century fox

@@waluigifantoychicaac358 So? Disney still didn't make it.

@@vetarlittorf1807 That's right, Don Bluth did.

yeah, he was missing from the list, he has a great redemption

A grown woman upset a young child said no to a stranger than tried to apologize when she get very mad Lmao

I agree.

the entire movie is from mirabels perspective and it’s obvious from the beginning isabela and mirabels strained relationship was mutual

@@lilac3266 That seemed like a pretty normal sibling relationship. But that's my point, Isabella wasn't really the one who changed all that much. All she really did was loosen her restraints a little. Mirabel was the one that recognized that she'd never really understood her sister. That's way bigger.

@@darkkey19 well they both misunderstood each other. Mirabel thought her sisters life was perfect with no problems but isabela was secretly unhappy and isabela realized that her sister never had bad intentions she just wanted to help out

b-but how??? out of the 2 she's the most mean + violent and usually starts the conflict (after being egged on by Tremaine)

Good Examples of Jerks with Hearts of Gold: Mr. Brown (Paddington) Snowbell and Mrs. Little (Stuart Little) Shrek (Shrek franchise) Garfield (The Garfield franchise, except in the live-action movies and direct to video trilogy.) Cera and Mr. Threehorn (The Land Before Time franchise, depending on your point of view.) Manny (Ice Age franchise, except in the fourth and fifth movies.) Peaches (Ice Age franchise, fourth and fifth movies depending on your point of view.) Jewel (Rio only) Chief Bogo and Mayor Lionheart (Zooptoia franchise) Twilight Sparkle, Gallus, Ember and Grandpa Gruff in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Wreck-It-Ralph Squidward Tentacles, Plankton and Mr. Krabs (SpongeBob SquarePants expect in the eighth and ninth seasons) Suki Lane, Judith and Mike (Sing) Dru and Megamind (Despicable Me and Megamind) Gloria and Clover (Madagascar franchise) Dracula (Hotel Transylvania franchise) Carl Fredrickson (Up)

Bad examples of Jerks with Hearts of Gold and more like Jerks with Hearts of Jerk: Reggie (Free Birds) Gene (The Emoji Movie and Wreck-It-Ralph) Jewel, Eduardo and Roberto (Rio 2) Dave Seville (Live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies) Chancellor Neighsay (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) Manny (Fourth and fifth Ice Age movies only) Wreck-It-Ralph (Ralph Breaks the Internet) Garfield (Live-action Garfield movies and direct to video trilogy.) Jon and Nermal (The Garfield Show)

I never even thought of Triton. Great suggestion!

Can we replace him with Flynn? 😂

@@Shastasnow Naveen or Hiro?

I bet they got that idea from the 1998 movie Ever After, where Jacqueline turns against her mother to help Danielle.

He did change. What you on about

Bruh what wrong movie

​@laurenpatrick4609 he might have forgot the ending

I do like these jerk, turned nice person story arcs. There are so many of these characters in animation.

@@marthagilbert3459 They should really do Top 10 Best Redemption Arcs in Cartoons!

Here are some possible reasons: 1) In the absence of the Prince's parents, his servants had sole charge of him. Thus they could have occasionally said "No" when he misbehaved...but apparently they didn't. 2) As they had to take care of the Beast, humans might have been tempted to lock him up like a zoo animal. As household objects, they could *only* function as servants, with no power over the Beast. 3) In his beastly form, the Prince would (and did) continue to grow and age. On the other hand, the servants, as utensils and as furniture, were immune to aging, which helps explain why it was that Chip looked and acted about eight years old when he was restored to human form, even though the spell lasted about ten years. (No, Mrs. Potts did not give birth to him while she was a teapot, lol) Therefore, when the spell was broken, the servants had not lost any years of their human lives and could just pick up where they left off. Mind you, the above reasons are all speculation on my part, but I've had a lot of time to think them out, since the time I first saw *BatB*: in November 1991, upon its original theatrical release. I've seen it about a dozen times since then and it is still probably my favorite pre-Pixar Disney. Only *Frozen* and *Frozen 2* have come close to toppling *Beast* from its throne in my heart.

Actually she was a jerk

No she was a jerk

she was a jerk to mirabel and mirabel was a jerk back. The feelings were entirely mutual but the movie is from mirabels perspective so until she has that realization that her sister has also been struggling the audience share the same views as her

@@lilac3266 LOVE YOUR PROFILE PIC #KangSaeByeokshouldhavewon

McQueen Definitely Was A Great Redeemed Jerk!

OH YEAH, I also wish that TOP, underrated heroes and heroines in sequels

thanks

They should make a movie of him as an adult and married with kids. He has trouble bonding with his kids and he goes to his dad for help. Just a thought.

Max Goof was a jerk in the goofy movies particularly the sequel. He should’ve been on this list. He just didn’t knew how fortunate to have his father in his life despite his imperfections and wanting to be a part of his life.

And Woody, He Tried To Get Rid Of Buzz And He Was Jealous

I loved Coco.

@@marthagilbert3459 so do I

​@@marthagilbert3459 As do I.

So obvious but you can’t help but see who made the list

Very Funny!

@KSAM428 Yeah, I mean, can you imagine how it would be if that scene was like this?

He got a realization that he’s a jerk to Mei plus character development in mere seconds when Mei tackled him in the party, unexpected instant redemption

@@gerardgarcia8501 Good point. However, you might think that Tyler would have been deathly afraid of the Panda after that incident, as Sid became afraid of toys in "Toy Story" when Woody told him to, "Play nice."

@@thomaslevy2119 Thank god Ming stopped Mei before Tyler got 100% scarred

@@gerardgarcia8501 I think Tyler's redemption was somewhat forced on him when Mei-Mei noticed him at the concert and they welcomed him into the "sisterhood" even though he was unwilling at first.

@@thomaslevy2119 I thought his redemption was him apologizing to mei and realizing he was a jerk and Mei attacking him with her scratching his cheek was his karma(still too much though)
