Top 10 Funniest Characters from Disney Animated Movies

The Top Ten

Genie (Aladdin)

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

Robin Williams was something incredible. He completely nailed his role as the Genie, and what makes this character even funnier is that Williams improvised many of his lines, and so many of his impressions were spot on. The Genie himself is one of the reasons Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney characters.

Genie is one of the funniest and most creative characters I've ever imagined. Every once in a while, I watch Aladdin. When the part where Genie appears and starts to make a lot of funny magical things, it just simply never gets old.
Kronk (The Emperor's New Groove)

Kronk is a character from Disney's 2000 animated film The Emperor's New Groove, where he serves as the secondary antagonist. He later became the main protagonist of the 2005 sequel Kronk's New Groove.
Often portrayed as Yzma's well-meaning but bumbling henchman, Kronk is also known for his love... read more

I loved the scenes where Kronk talked to his inner angel and devil.
The part when he says, "The peasant, at the dinner... he didn't pay his check," was absolutely hilarious! Kronk is the funniest character of any Disney movie, in my opinion.

I really like Kronk! He's nice and funny! Here are some of my favorite Kronk moments:
Yzma: "Pull the lever, Kronk!"
Kronk: *Pulls lever*
Yzma: *Falls through trapdoor* "Wrong lever!"
I seriously like to watch The Emperor's New Groove or Kronk's New Groove almost every night!

Yzma: The only ones who know about that are the three of us, soon to be the two of us.
Kronk: And I'm one of those two, right?
Yzma: Pull the lever, Kronk. Wrong lever!
Dory (Finding Nemo)

Dory is a major character from the film Finding Nemo and its sequel Finding Dory. She is a regal blue tang fish who suffers from short-term memory loss, which makes it difficult for her to retain information. Her memory issues create significant challenges for Marlin and herself during their quest to... read more

It's me... Biggest Brave/Tangled, maybe Frozen fan... Dory is hilarious! I can't count how many times she makes someone laugh!
ES-CAP-E! Funny thing, it's spelled just like escape! That gets me every time. I even happen to be the best friend of Dory's biggest fan.

Dory is always making me laugh, from "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" to forgetting things so fast. She found Nemo, and without her, Marlin would never find Nemo.
Dory, go get three wishes from Genie and become Dory the Genie!

I love Dory! Without her, this movie would be incomplete! Ellen DeGeneres is hilarious! Plus, I don't think Marlin would've made it through his journey if it wasn't for her!
Pumbaa (The Lion King)

Pumbaa is one of the two tritagonists, alongside Timon, in Disney's 1994 animated feature film The Lion King and the deuteragonist of the 2004 film The Lion King 1½. He is a gluttonous warthog and the best friend of Timon, a meerkat. Most animals are dismissive of Pumbaa due to his repugnant odor, but... read more

Laugh out loud, listen to Pumbaa's singing voice. He's so talented! With his big mouth, Pumbaa sure can be ranked as at least top 10 in opera.
Timon: When he was a young warthog.
Pumbaa: When I was a young warthog.
Timon: Very good.
Such sexy Disney characters they are.

"They call me Mister Pig!" Love that line. I don't get Lion King haters.

Pumbaa? Number six? REALLY? People, he was funny, maybe not as funny as Timon, but still, people.
Mushu (Mulan)

Quotes from Mushu:
"Let me hear you say AH! That's close enough!" To Mulan
"Dragon, not lizard. I don't do that tongue thing!" To Mulan
"Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!" To Mulan
"My eyes can see straight through your armor!" To Mulan
"Chicken boy? Say that to my face, ya limp noodle!" To Yao
"It looks like my bunny slippers just ran for cover!" To Mulan
"Your cow (horse) here would die of fright! Down, Bessie!" To Mulan, then the horse

Baloo (The Jungle Book)

Baloo is a main fictional character featured in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book from 1894 and The Second Jungle Book from 1895. He is portrayed as a sloth bear who serves as the strict teacher of the cubs in the Seeonee wolf pack.... read more

He's not only funny but he is really, really charming. Like no joke, one of the most likable characters I have ever seen.

Bagheera: "Baloo, you wouldn't marry a panther, would you?"
Baloo: "I dunno... a panther's never asked me!"
All his interactions with Bagheera alone make this movie worth it.

Bagheera: This will take brains, not brawn.
Baloo: You better believe it, and I'm loaded with both.
Hades (Hercules)

Hades is the main antagonist in Disney's 1997 animated film Hercules. He is portrayed as the god of the Underworld who seeks to overthrow Zeus and take control of Mount Olympus. Voiced by James Woods, Hades is known for his quick wit, sarcasm, and fiery temper. He plays a central role in the film's plot... read more

"Whoa, is my hair out?" I just fell off my chair laughing when I first watched this scene. Hades is really hilarious even when angry.

Hades is a more awesome Greek god than Zeus, in my opinion. Go team Hades!

The antagonist is more loved than the protagonist.
Olaf (Frozen)

Olaf is a friendly snowman character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' Frozen (2013) and Frozen II (2019). He was inadvertently created by Queen Elsa's magical powers and serves as the story's comic relief and embodiment of childhood wonder. Olaf is voiced by Josh Gad and has become one of... read more

This is #1. No doubts. One of the funniest Disney characters ever! "Just knock. Why aren't you knocking? Do you think she knows how to knock?" Laugh out loud! How do you guys like Dory better than Olaf? Not being mean or anything but seriously. I absolutely love his summer song, probably my second favorite song after "Let It Go." Olaf is really funny!

Olaf is funny, stop being mean! A snowman that loves summer is the greatest idea ever! Olaf is funnier than Dory, that's for sure!
Olaf has several funny lines. He's number one for me!
Sebastian (The Little Mermaid)

I think Sebastian is awesome because he escaped a guy trying to chop him up so he could be eaten! How cool is that?

First, we got to create "the mood." One of my favorite lines in any Disney movie. Love the accent.

His accent makes everything funny. I love him.
Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove)

Yzma is the royal adviser to Emperor Kuzco in the animated film The Emperor's New Groove. She is a villainous character who is skilled in potion-making.
After being dismissed by Kuzco, she plots to overthrow him and become empress herself.

Yzma is easily one of the funniest characters in Disney, probably the funniest villain. She works well as a villain, yet it's always hilarious watching her fail, even if it's in little ways, usually from Kronk, which is even better. I think everyone laughs at the "WRONG LEVER!" gag.

She should be way higher. She's so dramatic over everything that it's hilarious. Her ideas are brilliant yet ridiculous, but that's the best part. She's also such a savage to others.

Kronk: What about you being fired and all?
Yzma: The only people who know about that are the three of us, soon to be the two of us.
Me: What about the guy writing things down while Kuzco fired Yzma? He knows too...

The Contenders

Timon (The Lion King)

Timon is a meerkat and one of Simba's friends from The Lion King He and Pumbaa took care of Simba after he ran away from the Pride Lands and helped him defeat Scar to reclaim his rightful place as king.
Timon is often conceited and boastful, frequently taking credit for Pumbaa's ideas. However... read more

What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?

He's smart and knows how to be sarcastic. Awesome!

That's a ton of energy for one little meerkat.
Rex (Toy Story)

Rex is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is a green plastic Tyrannosaurus rex toy with a nervous personality. Rex is voiced by actor Wallace Shawn.

"How do you spell FBI?" Priceless. Rex is just hilarious. I love how he's just so funny and open to his feelings. He might be lacking common sense, but that's why he makes me ROFL.

He's so simple-minded, that makes him the funniest Toy Story character around.

Whoever came up with the idea of having Wallace Shawn voice a T-Rex was a genius.
Nick Wilde (Zootopia)

Officer Nicholas Piberius "Nick" Wilde is a male red fox and the deuteragonist of Zootopia. He is the son of Mrs. Wilde. He was voiced by actor Jason Bateman and made his debut in the 2016 Walt Disney Animation Studios film.

Baymax is probably my favorite Disney character, but I think Nick comes in second. His attitude towards everyone is pretty funny to watch, and he is very clever. Also, take any two scenes from the film and compare his facial expressions between them. They are different, and I can tell the animators put effort into the character design. Plus, foxes are my favorite animal.

There should be a t-shirt that says this: Nick Wilde is my spirit animal.

Such cool vibes, dude. He's my favorite male Disney character, and he's from the best movie. No arguments.
Iago (Aladdin)

Iago is a fictional supporting character from Walt Disney Pictures' animated film Aladdin, released in 1992. He also appears in the direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves. In addition, he is featured in the Aladdin television series.

This is the bird from Aladdin. Voiced by Gilbert Gottfried, who couldn't be more perfect for the role. He was Jafar's assistant in all of his schemes. The poor bird's always getting hurt because the animators' motto when it came to Aladdin was "when in doubt, hurt the bird." He's often overshadowed by the Genie (understandable, I mean, it's Robin Williams for crying out loud), but he's still a very funny character.

This irate, larger-than-life parrot is one of the most interesting characters ever made. In 'Aladdin,' he is Jafar's long-suffering minion who thought up the plans, did most of the dirty work, and balanced out his brooding with blunt sass. ("There's a surprise. There's an incredible I'm-gonna-have-a-heart-attack-and-die-from-not-surprised!") He was a great character to begin with.
In the sequel, however, he really began to flesh out when he betrayed Jafar and joined the good guys, even killing off his former master at the risk of his own life. That's impressive for one ordinary little bird.
The subsequent comedy came from his status as an anti-hero, how his moral compass is more than haywire, how he'd be the sort of guy who would chain up his conscience, lock it in a chest, and throw it into the ocean, only for said conscience to find him again.
The other part of the comedy comes from how much he can suffer in the most inventive ways possible. In the film, he's pushing a clockwork-powered contained storm generator but loses his footing and gets pulled into the gears. The timing is priceless. In fact, the writers' motto was "When in doubt, hurt the bird."
Overall, he's an entertaining, larger-than-life villain-turned-antihero. Is it any wonder this angry bird's popularity rivals the Genie's?
Ed (The Lion King)

He doesn't say a word in The Lion King, but his personality is hilarious. "So what do you think, Ed?" "Oh hmm hahaha!"

Ed is Ed. If you don't know who Ed is, then you don't know who Ed is. And that's just too bad. (Ed does not care.)
Donald Duck (The Wise Little Hen)

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.

Oh, come on! You know he has the funniest and best cartoons of all time. He's that one character whose plans always fail, and it's so funny.
That's why he's one of my favorite Disney characters of all time. It wouldn't be the same without him.

Are you serious? Donald Duck is one of the funniest characters of all time. He needs to be top 3. How is Mickey Mouse higher than Donald?
He is way funnier than Mickey Mouse.

#39? Are you kidding me? Donald has the best cartoons of anyone. They were always my favorite.
He always fails, and it's hilarious when he does and gets mad. He deserves top 10.
Wall-E (Wall-E)

WALL-E is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the 2008 animated film of the same name produced by Pixar Animation Studios.
He is a small waste-collecting robot left behind to clean up a polluted Earth abandoned by humans. The film follows his journey as he discovers a new purpose... read more

There is a reason he is higher on this list than Olaf. He doesn't need to talk much to be funny. Plus, WALL-E came from the geniuses at Pixar, not whoever decided to last-second throw in Olaf.

The sweetest, most lovable little robot we'll ever come across. He can't speak, but you've still gotta love his clumsiness anyway.

Wall-E is the sweetest, most adorable robot I have ever seen.
Dug (Up)

Dug is one of the two tritagonists of Disney/Pixar's 2009 film Up. He also appears as the protagonist in Dug's Special Mission and as a minor character in George & A.J. Dug is a golden retriever who can speak English using a special collar that translates his thoughts.

Dug is so cute! Cuteness can definitely lead to humor.
Baymax (Big Hero 6)

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.

I loved Baymax so much in this movie. He is the most huggable thing I've seen in a pretty long time! I also want to point out that the majority of the funny parts of this movie come from Baymax just being Baymax! Even though he's a robot, it's like he really cares about Hiro. Hiro's also a good character too.
Their bond feels genuine, and it's emotional when Baymax sacrifices himself to save Hiro and Callaghan's daughter, even though he comes back from the recovered chip.

Baymax (in a slurred voice): We jumped out a window.
Hiro: Sh. (I think I don't remember his line.)
Baymax (in a slurred whisper): We jumped out a window.
Russell (Up)

Russell is a fictional character in Pixar's 2009 animated film Up. He is a young and enthusiastic Junior Wilderness Explorer who unexpectedly joins Carl Fredricksen on an adventure to Paradise Falls. Russell is known for his persistence, innocence, and heartfelt relationship with Carl throughout the... read more

Up is one of my favorite movies from Pixar, and Russell is hilarious.

I always wanted Russell to be my little brother!

Good afternoon. My name is Russell, and I am a Wilderness Explorer.
Sven (Frozen)
Anna (Frozen)

Princess Anna of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' Frozen (2013) and its sequel Frozen II (2019). She is voiced by Kristen Bell as an adult, with Livvy Stubenrauch and Katie Lopez providing her childhood speaking and singing voices, respectively. Anna is... read more

Princess Anna is definitely the funniest princess! She is so awkward it's hilarious, and her wake-up look is so realistic!
"It's crazy" what "we finish each other's sandwiches!" Her voice is so amazing too.
Vanellope von Schweetz (Wreck-It Ralph)

Come on! She made fun of Call of Duty! What's not funny about her?
Kristoff (Frozen)

Kristoff Bjorgman is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 53rd animated feature Frozen. He is voiced by Jonathan Groff. Kristoff is an ice harvester who becomes Anna's companion and eventually her love interest.
Cogsworth (Beauty and the Beast)

I found him adorable in the movie, I can't lie. He was pretty funny, especially with his fight with Lumiere towards the end. I liked that.

Poor guy gets knocked around all the time, which makes his biting comebacks even funnier.

He's amazing in both the Broadway show and the movie!
Beast: What should I get Belle?
Cogsworth: Well, there's the usual: flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...
(After Cogsworth goes and checks on Belle)
Beast: Well!?
Cogsworth: What?
Beast: THE GIRL!
Cogsworth: Who?
