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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
