The 10 Most Underrated Disney Characters

Disney has created some of our most beloved characters, whether it be one of the Disney princesses or America's favorite snowman, Olaf. Although, these more mainstream characters are delightfully charming and definitely deserve their popularity, there are several other characters that are just as deserving. The characters listed below are long overdue for their chance to be in the spotlight.

1. Meeko - "Pocahontas"

Meeko provides some comic relief to an otherwise very sad Disney movie. He is adorable, sassy, and has a very relatable love for snacks. Meeko is also very loyal to Pocahontas and always has her back, even when she doesn't choose the smoothest course.

2. Mushu - "Mulan"

Mushu has one of the most quoted lines in Disney history and he doesn’t get enough credit for it. Dishonor on everyone’s cows for not making Mushu as popular as Olaf.

3. Gus and Jacques - "Cinderella"

Two mice managed to steal a key from the evil stepmother without her noticing and carry it up some really steep stairs to unlock Cindy from the attic. On top of all that, they also had to deal with mean old Lucifer trying to foil their plans.

4. Figaro - "Pinocchio"

Figaro is by far the cutest Disney cat. He also helps Geppetto look for Pinocchio when he goes missing after school. Even Minnie Mouse agrees that Figaro is the best Disney cat because in other short films, and in "Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas," Figaro appears as her pet.

5. Yzma - "The Emperor's New Groove"

Yzma is one of the funniest Disney characters of all time, and she doesn’t get enough credit. Her impatience with Kronk and the scene in which she plans Emperor Kuzco’s murder is hilarious — and signify a distinctive break from other traditional Disney films.

6. Baloo - "The Jungle Book"

Baloo’s song, “The Bear Necessities,” should be the ultimate anthem for college students. Baloo suggests that we all lead a more simple, laid-back lifestyle. Don’t work too hard, Baloo sings, but instead, “forget about your worries and your strife.” I can definitely get use to that mantra.

7. Nana - "Peter Pan"

Nana is seriously the perfect dog. Can I please find a dog that will tuck me into bed, clean my room, and take care of my general well-being every day? Let’s be real, Mr. and Mrs. Darling would have lost their shiz if they had to take care of three kids all by themselves. I appreciate you, Nana.

8. Madam Mim - "The Sword and the Stone"

I think Madam Mim takes the cake for one of the weirdest Disney characters. She can turn herself into anything, whether it be a beautiful young woman or a freaky human-pig thing. And you have to admit the battle between Madam Mim and Merlin is both hilarious and legendary.

9. Thomas O'Malley - "The Aristocats"

When O’Malley first meets Duchess, he is the typical “bad boy” with obvious intensions. But as O’Malley and Duchess spend more time together, he falls in love with her and wants to be a step-cat father to her kittens, which wins Duchess’ heart (so cute). Take note from this alley cat, boys.

10. Ken - "Toy Story 3"

Ken’s dress-up scene does not get enough credit. Also, he genuinely cares about Barbie, even when she tackles him in his own Dream House (he’s successful, too). Throughout the turmoil between the Sunnyside toys and Bonnie’s toys, Ken always loved Barbie. I’m so glad that Ken and Barbie ended up together in the movie because if they didn’t, there’d be no hope for any of us.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
