11 Of The Most Highly Underrated Disney Characters
Disney Wiki

Everyone has their favorite Disney character, whether it's Anna, Elsa, Woody, Buzz or Winnie the Pooh and his gang, but there are always those characters in Disney movies who, honestly, don't get enough credit. This list consists of 11 Disney characters who are highly underrated and should be given more recognition.


1. Nigel from "Finding Nemo"

Who can forget the huge bird that flies in on a daily basis to see the little fish in the dental office and decides not to eat them? Remember, fish are friends, not food. We also can’t forget just how huge he is in "Finding Nemo: The Musical" in Disney's Animal Kingdom. His Australian accent also can’t help but make you love him. The fact that he also helped to save Nemo gives him double points!


2. Iago from "Aladdin"

I think that we all can relate to Iago in a way. He gets overly frustrated with everything under the sun, but is also mischievous and cunning in a cute way.



3. Zenon from "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century"

I know that this is a DCOM, but we all know that this movie deserves a spot on this list. One of the greatest movies created for the Disney Channel, Zenon encompasses what it’s like to be a teen her age. She’s also from space! We all know that we fangirled over Prota Zoa too, don’t lie!


4. Ethan Craft from "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"

Although he always came off as unintelligent, he always meant well to people. Ethan was never mean to anyone and tried to help Lizzie out, but failed miserably in the end. You can’t help but love his dorky grin and boyish haircut.



5. Aslan from "The Chronicles of Narnia"

Aslan and "The Chronicles of Narnia" will always be underrated in my opinion. The fact that he stands up for the kids and sacrifices himself makes him one of the most heroic characters in Disney history.


6. Hades from "Hercules"

Hades is my favorite villain by far. He has the most sarcastic attitude out of all the Disney villains and his sass could kill. My life goal is to meet Hades at Walt Disney World if it’s the last thing that I do.


7. Rex from "Toy Story"

The always enthusiastic green dinosaur from "Toy Story" will always be one of my favorites. He may be clumsy at times, but I’ve always been fond of him for making light of things and being the comic relief of the movies.



8. Madame Leota from "The Haunted Mansion"

Madame Leota has an iconic role on the ride, but, in the movie, she’s not given nearly enough credit. I’m not going to lie, the movie scared the living daylights out of me as a child, but Madame Leota provided some type of comic relief with it. She can also talk to the dead, which is pretty awesome.



9. Giselle from "Enchanted"

I love "Enchanted" just because it’s different from any other Disney movie because it’s animated and live action in one movie. McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy also plays Giselle’s love interest, which makes it that much better. Giselle is hilarious and sweet at the same time. Plus, the music from that movie is actually pretty amazing in my opinion.



10. Tantor from "Tarzan"

Tantor is the cute little elephant from "Tarzan" who has a timid attitude. You can tell that he has a huge heart, though, and always means well for his friends. Also, you can't get much cuter than the scene when he’s a baby elephant for an animated movie.



11. Mushu from "Mulan"

Mushu is Mulan’s companion and confidant, acting as her brave protector. He’s overconfident for how small he is, but he provides humor to the movie and is always one of my favorites. If he ever does a meet-and-greet, you'd best believe that I’ll be one of the first ones in line to meet him.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
