Top 10 Most Famous Disney Characters

1. Mickey Mouse

   

   Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studio in 1928.

   The first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse was the iconic "Steamboat Willie," released later that same year. Mickey... read more

   No other cartoon can give you the same feelings of a good old Mickey Mouse short. I saw almost everything animated born between 1910 and 2000, and Mickey Mouse tops any character out there. He may not be the funniest or craziest in terms of hard laughs, but as Walt himself said, he's SO human that you can't not love him. His facial and body expression are unmatched in the whole cartoon history: that's why is funny to see his laid back, humanly heroic, sometimes forgetful, but always committed actions and adventures. He may seems a simple character, but he's one of the most unique cartoon personality of all time: as I said, no other cartoon can give you the same feelings of a good old Mickey Mouse short. Simple as that.

2. Donald Duck

   

   Donald Duck is a cartoon character created in 1934 by Walt Disney Productions. He is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He is typically depicted wearing a sailor shirt and cap, along with a bow tie, and is known for his short temper and comedic adventures.

   Donald is just the coolest and cutest Disney character in the whole Disney world. He is so funny, friendly, unique and has a way to act in all kind of personalities so that everybody loves him! Also in Kingdom Hearts he was great! I loved having him as my ally cause he's my favourite and after I saw that he is a wizard in the game, I loved him even more (I love magic staff and spells)!

   A duck that has more personality than any other Disney character combined. He's the fella that we can relate to in his adventures. He's the one that has faced the war than any other cartoon character. And he has a one of a kind voice that we have adored for so many years. So as you can see, this is what made him a legend.

3. Goofy

   

   Goofy is a cartoon character created by Walt Disney Productions in 1932. He is a tall, anthropomorphic black dog with a Southern accent.

   His usual outfit includes a turtleneck, vest, pants, shoes, white gloves, and a tall hat originally styled as a rumpled fedora. Goofy is a close friend of Mickey... read more

   Goofy is one of my favorite Disney character and he is number one on my list. How can anyone hate this goofy fellow. With his goofy laugh and funny voice he is sure to make kids of all ages laugh.

   How in the world is stitch above him! Goofy is one of the most hilarious Disney characters out there! I vote for him for all the time I laughed, and had a memory with this fantastic character! If you do not like goofy, you should get laughacation. Is that right? Laughacation?

   I think Elsa and Anna from FROZEN should be the most popular Disney characters. Can whoevers in charge of this website make Elsa number one and Anna number two?

4. Minnie Mouse

   

   Minerva "Minnie" Mouse is a cartoon character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. She was first drawn by Iwerks in 1928, at the same time as Mickey Mouse. Her former voice actor, Russi Taylor (1944 to 2019), voiced her for 30 years and was married to Wayne Allwine (1947 to 2009), the former voice of... read more

   I LOVE her and so does my granddaughter. We both have stuffed Minnie Mouse. And I got her a blanket with Minnie all over it. I have a 1930's book of all Disney character. Sure looked different then.

   Minnie is a very sweet character. She has appeared in over 3,000 comics, several animated shorts and television series, and is a live presence at all Disney theme parks around the world. Minnie's style has evolved with the cultural changes and it's estimated that she has over 200 outfits, but some of her looks stand out more than others. (information from google) -disneygirl

5. Stitch

   

   Stitch is a fictional alien character from Disney's Lilo & Stitch franchise. Also known as Experiment 626, Stitch was created through genetic engineering to be a destructive force. However, he finds a new life and family in Hawaii, where he learns the importance of love, friendship, and belonging.

   Stitch is an adorable little character. I never thought he'd be this far up and spot number 2 would be taken by Minnie mouse or someone like that. He should be number 1 though so stitch lovers all over the world, vote stitch. If you don't vote, you should no longer call yourself a stitch lover. Vote team stitch NOW!

   I love him so much. I just find him so adorable and his story is even more cute. I love how he started of as a clueless alien but turned into a caring and loveable creature. Its amazing how Lilo didn't give up on him and she helped him turn into a better person... well alien.

6. Winnie the Pooh

   

   Winnie the Pooh is a character based on A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The Disney media franchise began in 1966 with the theatrical release of the short Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. The character has since become a beloved figure in children's literature and animation.

   Winnie the Pooh is awesome! Not only is he cute, he means so much to me. When I was a baby, my nursery was decorated with Winnie the Pooh stickers and decorations. I had many onesies that had Winnie the Pooh on them, and even my mobile over my crib had Winnie the Pooh characters on it! I love you, Pooh!

   I always felt like I was in a magical world when I watched pooh movies and the 90s show. With Mickey Mouse cartoons... not so much. It felt like an everyday world, and I didn't feel like a kid.

   He is so cute and funny and sweet. Just looks like a pot bellied bear. Always excited and helpful in nature. Just love his dressing style. Winnie the Pooh rocks!

7. Captain Jack Sparrow

   

   Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, is the central character in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. His eccentric and unpredictable personality is inspired by rock guitarist Keith Richards and the animated skunk Pepé Le Pew.... read more

   Only Johnny Depp can master the art of walking like a drunkard when he portrays Captain Jack Sparrow. He never goes anywhere without his hat, it constantly getting people into dangerous situations to get what he wants (and then miraculously gets himself out of the danger), and is a complete womanizer (or tries to be one). He is an amazing character and it's a great portrayal, after all Captain Jack Sparrow only ever forgot to hide the rum once.

   He is so entertaining and you can't not love him. Johnny Depp made a good job at making him famous and he should be in top 10! He is a badass drunk pirate with a weirdness around him. He has his compass that never works because he does not know what he wants and he somehow avoids death, even with an entire army trying to kill this guy! He must be immortal or the luckiest guy in the entire planet. I just do not know.

8. Tinkerbell

   

   Tinker Bell is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy. She is a fairy companion of Peter Pan and is known for her loyalty and fiery personality. Tinker Bell later became a prominent Disney character and mascot.

   Tinkerbell is an amazing Disney character. I loved those Disney shorts on Disney Channel, and I love her movies. She teaches young kids that it's okay to be different and have different talents.

   She's cool now but was just terrible in the original Peter Pan movie. Why did they have to make her such a envious prick in that movie?

   Whenever I watch a tinker bell movie I feel like I should be 5agin! She is so cute and adorable and I am so exited that she is 4th place! Go Tink!

9. Baymax

   

   Baymax is a fictional character and superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is best known as a member of the superhero team Big Hero 6. Baymax also appears in the Disney animated film Big Hero 6 (2014), where he is portrayed as a healthcare companion robot.

   Baymax was the one thing that made big hero 6 even better. Some characters are funny, but he made me cry with laughter the first time I saw him. Plus he has a selfless side. All he cares about in the film is his friends. He was willing to sacrifice himself for hiro and a stranger! That proves how selfless he is! To conclude, baymax is a caring, loveable, funny character. GO TEAM BAYMAX!

   Baymax is adorable, in a way I can't explain. He is selfless and cares nothing about himself. Of course that is programing, but I don't really care!

10. Snow White

    

    Snow White is a fictional character from Disney's first full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937. She is Disney's first official Disney Princess. Snow White is also the only Disney Princess to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    She is my favorite disney character hate how she doesn't get enough credit at all she is the first disney character a child should ever see and she was the first full animated disney movie ever!

    Snow White is BY FAR! My most favorite princess of just about ALL time! She needs to be placed way better than 9th place! (She doesn't get enough credit! )

    The first Disney Character not from Mickey Mouse. But from a fairy tale made into a movie.

    Anne Boonchuy

    

    Anne Boonchuy (Thai: แอนน์ สาวิสา บุญช่วย) is a fictional Thai-American character who is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel animated series Amphibia. She is a courageous and adventurous teenage girl who is transported to a magical world inhabited by talking... read more

13. Pluto

    

    Pluto, also called Pluto the Pup, is a cartoon character created in 1930 by Walt Disney Productions. He is a yellow-orange, medium-sized, short-haired dog with black ears. Pluto is one of Mickey Mouse's loyal companions and has appeared in many Disney cartoons.

    He is the cutest Disney character ever created! Plus he is the sweetest/ smartest dog! He has many my top 1 favorite since I was a child

    Pluto the best character by far! He's loyal, adventurous, funny, and Mickey's best friend.

    He's just as good as Tom from Tom and Jerry! Cute, playful, and just wants to have a good time!

14. Ariel

    

    Princess Ariel is a fictional character and the title character of Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film The Little Mermaid (1989). She is voiced by actress Jodi Benson and is the adventurous, headstrong mermaid princess of Atlantica. Ariel's story helped launch the Disney Renaissance era... read more

    I just always deeply sincerely love and adore her so very much for how she is always just such a super rare sparkling dazzling blue-eyed glossy vivid vibrant redhead for within the world's population of 0.17%. I'd tell her myself like her ethnicity and genetic combo/combination, "Roses are red, violets are blue".

    Ariel is such a good character, she represents Disney's overall character. She is a sweet mermaid who longs to be human. What else could a young child want to watch on T.V.! Ariel is definitely worthy of being a top disney character! Go team Ariel!

15. Buzz Lightyear

    

    Buzz Lightyear is a fictional character from the Toy Story franchise. He is a toy modeled after a space ranger hero and plays a major role in the films and related merchandise.

    In 2022, he was the central character in the spin-off film Lightyear. Buzz is voiced by Tim Allen in the Toy Story movies... read more

    To infinity and beyond I will love Buzz!

16. Cinderella

    

    Princess Cinderella is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' Cinderella (1950) and its direct-to-video sequels Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002) and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007). She is voiced by Ilene Woods in the original film and by Jennifer Hale in the sequels... read more

    Cinderella reflects the truth of what is happening in today's society. Stepmothers, people who is always envious and try to put you down, I give Cinderella a full 100 percent top cartoon. This warns people out there especially itchy old men to think of their kids instead of thinking of other women to scratch their itchiness.

    She is just amazing as she is a classic and her story is well made and tells about some morals and values too. Cinderella is so pretty and totally deserves to be in the list of the bests

17. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

    

    He was created before Mickey was created on 1928 but not as a Disney character. Not many fans have heard of him when his shorts were released or when his comics were published. He became more famous when he first appeared in the Epic Mickey games and he also became an "official" Disney character after the Epic Mickey games were released.

    Oswald is my favourite classic Disney character, although not known well he should be recognized

18. Mulan

    

    Fa Mulan is a fictional character inspired by the legendary Chinese heroine who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' Mulan (1998) and its direct-to-video sequel Mulan II (2004). She is voiced by Ming-Na Wen, and her story follows her disguise as a male soldier to save her father and bring honor to her family... read more

    Mulan saved her comrades, all people in China, the emperor and fought Shan Yu. She joined the army and managed to hide her true gender and fought in war. And why did she do that? Because she wanted to protect her father! Cinderella, Ariel and Snow White are iconic princesses, but they didn't do anything by themselves instead of letting themselves being saved by the prince. Mulan is probably the strongest and bravest of all. And she is also very smart because she managed to kill off the enemy with one single canon and managed to hide her true gender until she was badly wounded. Mulan will always be my greatest Disney heroine. Screw Frozen, Mulan was an independent strong woman before it was cool

19. Woody

    

    Sheriff Woody Pride is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is voiced by Tom Hanks in all of the feature-length and short films, while Jim Hanks provides the voice in video games and shorts.

    Woody is a pull-string cowboy doll who leads the other toys on various adventures in the... read more

    Definitely my favorite Disney character. Loved him since I saw Toy Story 4 a few weeks ago. Next time I go to Disneyland, I'm bringing my money and looking for a Woody toy.

    Woody has always been special to me, and he is a great and funny character to watch.

    Woody should be at least number 5... come on!

20. Rapunzel

    

    Rapunzel is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 50th animated feature film Tangled (2010) and its short sequel Tangled Ever After (2012). She is voiced by actress and singer Mandy Moore. Rapunzel is officially recognized as the tenth Disney Princess and is the first to... read more

    Rapunzel is the best! How can you top a blonde chick with a frying pan! She has an adorable pet frog and her chemistry with Flynn Ryder is perfection. I'm happy that she's higher than the highly overrated Elsa. However, I rate her as the best Disney character of all time! She is smart, beautiful (she can rock two hair colors), and totally bosses with that pan (did I mention). Try to name one other Disney character, or any characte at that, who displays femininity and strength to such a degree and in such harmony! She knows when to stand up for herself and makes some of the toughest decisions imaginable. She is basically a walking fountain of youth but gives all that up to something much greater.

    Rapunzel is probably one of the most underrated characters ever and deserves your vote more than any other character on this list! (Except maybe Pocahontas if she's here.)

    Bring Rapunzel to the top!

21. Lightning McQueen

    

    Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, is an anthropomorphic stock car in the animated Pixar film Cars, its sequels Cars 2 and Cars 3, and the TV shorts known as Cars Toons. He is voiced by Owen Wilson and serves as the main protagonist of the franchise. McQueen is known for... read more

    I choose Lightning Mcqueen because he taught us that without friends, life is just an empty cup. He got it from doc. That's what makes Lightning special.

    My favorite Disney character and movie! I've loved cars since it came out 10 years ago when I was only 3

    Lightning is the best character there is.

22. Genie

    

    The Genie is a magical character from Disney's Aladdin franchise. He is a comedic, shape-shifting jinn who resides in a magical lamp and grants three wishes to whoever releases him. In the original 1992 animated film, the Genie was voiced by Robin Williams, whose performance became one of the most iconic... read more

    The funniest, the most powerful (nigh omnipotent I would say), the most original design, he can do impressions of people who don't even live yet, so he must be able to transcend time, at least mentally. He is the coolest of them all.

    "Can your Friends do this? Can your Friends do that? " You know it, this movie is great to watch with your friends! Genie can make you laugh at any scene he is in! I Love You GENIE!

    Genie is one of the funniest Disney characters! I makes me laugh every single time I watch the movie. No matter how many times I watch Aladdin, I will always laugh at Genie!

23. Mike Wazowski

    

    Michael Wazowski, also known as Mike, is a main character in Monsters, Inc. and the protagonist of its prequel, Monsters University. He is a lime green, spherical monster with one large green eye, two small horns on his head, and thin arms and legs attached to either side of his torso. He is voiced by... read more

    Mike wazowski is quite possibly the greatest Disney creation ever. Mickey Mouse doesn't deserve to stand next to the mike wazowski. He's probably the most powerful character in the world the presidents aren't even equal to the Michael wazowski. My only problem is that sully isn't on here. Where is the phrase you're GREEN WITH IT I'm really mad that sully isn't on here and I might even sue the top tens list. I think it's just a serious case of fascism and everything else. Mike and sully are classic American heros they should be number one. This is a horrible world cause I'm seriously mad, where is SULLY where is he! I'll sue ya.

24. Simba

    

    Simba is a fictional character in Disney's The Lion King franchise. He made his debut in the original 1994 animated film The Lion King and went on to appear in its sequels, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) and The Lion King 1½ (2004).... read more

    I remember when I took a personality quiz to see what Disney Character I was. I was about 13 or 14, and somehow I happened to get Simba! Since then, I have watched the Lion King a thousand times and I've never gotten bored! Thank you Disney for creating this amazing feline! You have all my respect! GRRR

    So adorable and great, with just the perfect amount of attitude... Amazing character development. How can anyone not love Simba? The Lion King is definitely, hands down, the best Disney movie I've ever seen.

    His father Died when he was young and he has lived with guilt but he is headstrong and confident especially when he returns to Pride Rock to re-claim the throne and overthrow his own uncle Scar.

25. Alice Kingsleigh

    

    Alice Kingsleigh is a character in Tim Burton's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass. She is a curious and imaginative young woman who cannot conform to the values of the society in which she lives. Her adventures in Wonderland reflect her journey of self-discovery... read more

    Many are overpraising Frozen saying that it's the start of the strong female role models from Disney we've encountered recently. I beg to differ as I think it started with 2010's Alice in Wonderland.

    This Alice, portrayed by the beautiful Mia Wasikowska, is arguably what gave birth to Angelina Jolie's Maleficent, Lily James' Ella, Go Go Tomago, Honey Lemon, Vanellope and Queen Elsa.

    Alice Kingsleigh has a lot of "Muchness". She can believe in as many as 6 impossible things before breakfast. Certainly more of a role model than Elsa and dare I say it Baymax.

26. Chip 'n' Dale

    

    They're great characters and they're also very famous by the fans who watched the shorts or Rescue Rangers. Those two chipmunks needs more love and should get more votes.

    They are better than micky goofy Pluto daisy and mini combined! Also they are always causing trouble with donald!

    I love them!

    They are just so adorable!

    I had tons of chip 'n' dale stuffed animals ever since I was 3!

27. Daisy

    

    Daisy Duck is a cartoon character created in 1940 by Walt Disney Productions as the girlfriend of Donald Duck. She is known for her sophisticated and assertive personality. Daisy has appeared in numerous animated films, television series, and comic books over the decades.

    This is why I named my beloved pet duck after her. She's one of my favourite Disney cartoon characters. Daisy is adorably cute.

    She's one of the sensational six, but strangely, it doesn't change the fact that she is pretty underrated.

    This is why I've named my beloved duck (my pets) after this iconic female duck. Daisy is adorably cute.
