Top 10 Best Disney Mentors
Got the idea from Watchmojo and decided to put my own spin on things and add some of my own entries. These are basically the characters who help the main characters realize their own true potential. Not only including characters from Disney and Pixar movies but also from Disney TV shows.
Jiminy Cricket is the Walt Disney version of the Talking Cricket, a fictional character created by Italian writer Carlo Collodi for his children's book The Adventures of Pinocchio, which Disney adapted into the animated film Pinocchio in 1940. Originally an unnamed, minor character in Collodi's novel, he was transformed in the Disney version into a comical and wise partner who accompanies Pinocchio on his adventures, having been appointed by the Blue Fairy to serve as Pinocchio's official conscience.
The Genie is a jinn appearing in the Aladdin franchise from Disney. He is never given a proper name. He was portrayed by Robin Williams in the first film. Quotes that make people laugh so hard they pee in their pants!
He is to funny in the lion king like the way the creaters made him to be wise but funny at the same time is just great!
Wacks people with sticks. It's hilarious.
Though Silver is technically the villain in many ways he ends up warming up to Jim Hawkins filling the void as a father figure though his decision to do so causes his crew to question his loyalties.
A wizard who makes it his objection to be Arthur's teacher by educating him on using his smarts as opposed to his strength until Arthur becomes Kay's squire which infuriates Merlin which leads to an argument between him and Arthur over his future which leads to Merlin blowing himself to Bermuda but eventually returns.
A great mentor.
Tadashi Hamada is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 54th animated feature, Big Hero 6. The film is inspired by a Marvel comic book of the same name. Hiro's brother who convinces him to use his smart mind for greater purposes than using them for illegal robot fights and introduces him to the research lab at his university where his other friends who are also working on their projects and even shows him Baymax Tadashi's invention for medical assistant.
In the beginning Doc really didn't like Lightning McQueen mostly of what he represented as a hot shot racer caring only about winning trophies and breaking records its not until later where its revealed that Doc was once a racer like Lightning but was in an accident and after finally being put together was tossed aside and have another racer take his place and later Lighning really takes in everything Doc said about him only caring about himself and no one else, and in Cars 3 Lightning even starts to feel just like Doc realizing that his racing days are numbered.
Though Dodger and Oliver's first meeting was a bit rocky eventually Dodger welcomes him into the gang and give him his first sense of a real family which kind of hurts Dodger after he and the others rescue Oliver from Jenny's house and Oliver stating that he finally found a real home and him feeling that Oliver is being ungrateful especially since he took him in and made him a part of the gang.
The best of them all!
Though Jake's grandfather is a bit of a hot tempered old man who's methods of teaching Jake to control his dragon powers are questionable at best its only because he's aware of the dangers that Jake will have to face as his role of the American dragon that he pushes him so that he'll be ready for what ever comes his way.
