Top 10 Disney Sidekicks

In this entry, we'll take a break from movie reviews and move on to Disney's most comical sidekicks.
This was a hard list... not so much on how to choose the characters, but in what class they're in, because they're all so great.

10. Lumiere

First Appearance:

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

Voiced by:

Jerry Orbach

Description:

He's a suave, smooth guy who doesn't play by the rules. He also has the distinction of being the only character with a French accent, despite the fact that the movie takes place in France.

9. Phil

First Appearance:

Hercules (1997)

Voiced by:

Danny DeVito

Description:

Just as you'd expect from Danny DeVito, he's a wise-talking S.O.B., with an Italian accent to boot.

8. Sebastian

First Appearance:

The Little Mermaid (1989)

Voiced by:

Samuel E. Wright

Description:

As you'd expect from the official court composer of Atlantica, he is an awesome singer. He also has a Jamaican accent... despite the fact that the series takes place in England.

7. Mushu

First Appearance:

Mulan (1998)

Voiced by:
Eddie Murphy

Description:

A smooth-talking (yet not entirely useful) Chinese dragon. I guess the fact that he has an African American accent in Feudal China is excusable, seeing as he's a supernatural force.

6. Kronk

First Appearance:

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

Voiced by:

Patrick Warburton

Description:

His look says it all. He is DUMB.AS.A.BRICK. Still gotta love the guy, though.

5. Donald Duck

First Appearance:

The Wise Little Hen (1934)

Voiced by:

Clarence Nash (1934-1985)

Tony Anselmo (1985-Current)

Description:

Who the hell DOESN'T know who Donald Duck is?

4. Iago

First Appearance:

Aladdin (1992)

Voiced by:

Gilbert Gottfried

Description:

The semi-reluctant, constantly complaining sidekick of Jafar; he later becomes another protagonist.

3. Timon & Pumbaa

First Appearance:

The Lion King (1994)

Voiced by:

Nathan Lane (Timon)

Ernie Sabella (Pumbaa)

Description:

So awesome, that they merged together on one number.

2. Ray

First Appearance:

The Princess and the Frog (2009)

Voiced by:

Jim Cummings

Description:
Probably the funniest depiction of a hick EVER (study this, King of the Hill writers). Too bad they had to freaking *INSERT SPOILER HERE* at the end of the movie.

1. Genie

First Appearance:

Aladdin (1992)

Voiced by:

Robin Williams [1st and 3rd movies]

Dan Castellaneta (aka: Homer Simpson) [Everything Else]

Description:

After much hard decisions, the Genie ended up being at the top of the list, due to his madcap nature and his magical 4th wall-breaking abilities (the pop culture refs help too).
