Olaf

After years of Frosty's domination, it was time for a new snowman to take the lead. And Olaf from Frozen captured the hearts of everyone with his antics. All the ever optimistic snow man who came alive due to Elsa's powers wanted was to experience a summer for once in his life. But he became a true hero when he helped save Anna's life and his one line explanation has become legendary - Some people are worth melting for.

Mushu

This Chinese dragon not a lizard may look small but he is definitely ferocious and very protective of his friend Mulan. When Mulan's stone ancestors conjure up an enchanted stone dragon to help her out when she decides to take on the Huns, the witty dragon who accidentally destroys it decides to take it's place and accompany her to war. Voiced by Eddie Murphy this stylish fellow is all about attitude.

Baloo

Although he is a tad lazy, Baloo is also mostly a loyal friend and mentor to the young man cub Mowgli so much so that the little boy begins to refer to him very endearingly as Papa Bear. The gigantic grizzly bear's love for music is wonderful too and it is adorable to see him belting out tunes by Richard and Robert Sherman and getting Mowgli to sing too.

Dory

Dory made such an impact in the film Finding Nemo that it is no wonder that she was made the star in the sequel. While Martin hunts the oceans for his lost son, Dory surely keeps him entertained and even though she just can't seem to remember anything she still proves helpful in the end. Ellen DeGeneres has become synonymous with the phrase 'Just keep swimming' ever since.

Pascal

Despite not saying a word throughout the film this chameleon was still noticed for his colour-changing habits and adorable expressions. The cute little fellow also helps keep Rapunzel entertained during her time in the tower, giving her fashion advice and protecting her from bad boys like Flynn Rider.

Sebastian

Although the hilariously snooty crab kept relaying information about Ariel's whereabouts to her father King Triton, he still manages to be a lovable characters rather than a villain who despite his reluctance still manages to get entangled in all the crazy adventures his best friends drag him into. He is also the voice of reason and most notable for belting out some all time favorite Disney tunes like Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl.

Lumiere and Cogsworth

Yes they do seem to argue all the time but they only want what's best for Beauty and the Beast. Lumiere is the suave, charismatic French candlestick who breezes through life charming everyone he meets, and Cogsworth is the more straight-laced, rule-oriented clock who tries to rein him in.

Lumiere also gets to sing the musical number: "Be Our Guest." plus he was originally actually voiced by the late Jerry Orbach, the longtime face of NBC's crime series "Law & Order." Fans can't wait to see this duos camaraderie in the upcoming live action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson.
