Top 30 Underrated Female Disney Characters

I know you're very busy there at invent Co labs and we're just so excited to have you as a judge it's my pleasure Mr willerstein welcome to Miz Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most overlooked animated women in Disney and Pixar flick that deserve far more love beware of potential spoilers ahead don't worry shorty here we can explain it to you later number 30 Mrs jumbo Dumbo mothers and maternal figures tend to be overlooked in the Disney verse often either being separated from their kids or killed off the examples are endless from Bambi's mom to Widow Tweed but we want to focus on Mrs jumbo Dumbo's Mom isn't it thrilling I'm all flutter this is a proud proud day she barely speaks and spends most of the movie kept from her son after she gets in trouble protecting him yet while much of Dumbo's journey of self-discovery occurs away from her she anchors him the baby mind sequence alone exemplifies her devotion and the support is always going to [Music] provide that's unconditional motherly love and it's absolutely breathtaking considering the emotional weight Mrs jumbo infuses the tail with it's a real shame she isn't talked about more see look at him go I see [Applause] son number 29 Anita Radcliffe 101 Dalmations Pongo is on to something when he decides Anita Radcliffe and her pup are the perfect love matches for him and his owner Roger it was almost too good to be true I'd never find another pair like that not if I looked for a hundred years seriously Anita's wonderful yeah when we talk about this 1961 movie she's not usually the first second or even fourth name that comes up for heaven's sakes where are they who Cruella I don't the puppies the puppies no time for games where are the little brutes we get it the Dalmations are obviously Central to the story and Corella devil is too fabulous a villain to ignore and Roger writes a super catchy accurate song but Anita is the one at the center of it all connecting the threads she may not be the loudest character but she's kind reliable and has a huge heart her only crime is trusting Corella for a little too long she's like a SP waiting for the K Roger hear [Music] you number 28 mad Madam MIM The Sword and the stone The Sword in the Stone is one of Disney's most underappreciated offerings and its villain is also hugely overlooked maybe it's because she's not a traditional bad guy but if you ask us her eccentricity is a big part of what makes her worthy of more attention now don't tell me you've never heard of The Marvelous Madam MIM well no oh I don't guess so mam MIM good heav good heav good my boy I'm the greatest I'm truly marvelous Madame MIM is a merciless witch and there's not much that makes her happier than seeing her Rivals suffer she's not above cheating either as evidenced by her duel With Merlin no no me no no dragons remember did I say no purple dragons did I she's also just a trip to watch with her overconfidence and unique personality it's time to put a lot more respect on her name because she's as terrifying as the Maleficents and evil queens of this world an ugly old creep the Magnificent marvelous mad mad mad mad mad man number 27 Merryweather Sleeping Beauty how could you not love the three good fairies they not only raise Aurora but play a huge part in defeating Maleficent alongside Phillip frankly they could use more appreciation as a unit but between flora fauna and Merryweather we'd say it's the latter who's the most underrated considering her immense contributions to the story I think we've had enough of this nonsense I think we ought to think of rose and what she'll think of this Miss I still think what I thought before I'm going to get those ones her Resolute and Sassy attitude is too fun especially when she butts heads with Flora beyond that though she always comes through when she's needed then she can undo this fearful curse oh no sire Maleficent powers are far too great but she can help let's not forget she's the one who subdues Maleficent's death curse ensuring the princess will fall into a deep Slumber true love's kiss can save her from instead Aurora owes her life to this blue loving fairy where is National Merryweather day it can only do good dear to bring joy and happiness well that would make me happy number 26 Wendy Darling Peter Pan the titular character Captain Hook and Tinkerbell get the bulk of the attention here pan is the kid refusing to grow up Hook is his sworn enemy and Tink well she speaks for herself but what would the adventure flick be without Wendy nothing I came to listen to the stories my stories but they're all about you of course that's why I like him I tell him to The Lost Boys she and her brothers accompanying Peter to Neverland fuels the en higher plot plus she captivates the protagonist much to Tinkerbell's dismay most importantly she's a voice of reason understanding The Darlings must go home Peter goodbye Peter we care about the outcome because we care about her thanks to her kindness and adventurous yet sophisticated Persona striking a balance between preserving your childlike Wonder while growing up isn't easy but she does it flawlessly give her her FL flowers oh I'm so happy I I think I'll give you a a kiss number 25 Mrs pots Beauty and the Beast we know this is the tale is oldest time of bell and BEAST's romance we also know that Lumiere and even cogsworth tend to steal the show Among The Supporting Cast however if the light should shine on anyone it's this teapot she's the mom of the house as her warmth and comforting presence assures us things will be okay but I've lost my father my dreams everything cheer up child it'll turn out all right in the end you'll see Mrs Potts brings whatever is needed to a situation be it compassion with Belle or tough love with the beast that's saying nothing of her riveting rendition of the film's theme song Tale As Old As Time song as old as rhyme Beauty and the Beast yes more minor female characters like the Wardrobe and the feather duster are often forgotten too yet Mrs Potts is the woman most taken for granted in relation to her Monumental impact I work and I slave all day long and for what a culinary Masterpiece gone to waste oh stop your grousing it's been a long night for all of us number 24 Grandma tala Moana you're a long ways past the reef Grandma guess I chose the right tattoo wise understanding caring determined Dynamic and extraordinary these are some of the words we'd use to describe moana's grandmother we all know how important she is to the protagonist helping her fulfill her Destiny before and after her passing but it seems like nobody ever stops to uplift tala the woman why are you acting weird I'm the village crazy lady that's my job she doesn't care if other people don't completely get her she knows herself and the truth and trusts that her people will find their way back to the ocean her Fierce conviction and dedication to this belief is nothing short of admirable as is her ability to be totally original while still prioritizing Community the spirited Fearless life she led could be its own movie and it's one that should be made the village may think I'm crazy or say that I dri too far but once you know what you like well there you are number 23 vanela Pon Schweetz Wreck-It Ralph franchise this clever racer princess endures many trials and tribulations she ostracized due to her glitch status in Wreck-It Ralph and gradually opens up uncovering the truth about her identity this is me look the code may say I'm a princess but I Know Who I Really Am Ralph I'm a racer with the greatest superpower ever in the sequel she finds a new home really coming into herself she's anything but traditional through it all redefining what it means to be a royal through her bold quick wittedness she's also a once in a-lifetime friend but perhaps because she's not part of the official Disney princess franchise her name is often at the bottom of the list when folks speak about the Studio's heroins I know I know I know I'm an idiot and and a real num skull and a selfish diaper baby and and a stink brain the stinkiest brain ever if Ralph breaks the internet proved anything though it's that vanelope vonets belongs with Ariel and company here's hoping she starts receiving the same adoration they've historically gotten oh steering wheel oh steering wheel oh yes I want a steering wheel number 22 B peep Toy Story franchise there are toys that we forget to cherish B is largely relegated to the background in the franchise's first two entries with her stories often revolving around her romance with Woody what do you say I get some someone else to watch the Sheep tonight hell yeah remember I'm just a couple of blocks away she's not even in the third movie save for a quick Cameo having been donated the thing is she's anything but a background doll thankfully she's back in a big way in Toy Story 4 making herself heard as a self-sufficient leader who needs no owner you really don't think you'll ever be in a kid's room again huh nope and now with the the carnival traveling through it's our chance to hop a ride and leave town you're leaving sure am you ever think about getting out there seeing the world the porcelain figurine knows her worth proving that femininity and power are anything but mutually exclusive yet her bravery resourcefulness and intelligence aren't commended enough for our liking instead Bo is usually discussed in relation to Woody it's high time she gets her own Spotlight she's a star what did I say I lead you follow Bo I'm so sorry really just tell me how to help you really want to help then stay out of my way number 21 Charlotte lah lauff The Princess and the Frog there's a lot going on in this movie between Tiana's restaurant dream her romance with Prince naven Dr facilier's evildoing and you know the Frog thing it's easy to forget about Charlotte but just because something is easy doesn't make it right now run along there are plenty of young Phillies dying for you to waltz them into a super give me them nkin quick what on Earth for s I'm sweating like a sinner in church she's Tiana's bestie and at first she may seem like a stereotypical rich girl and yes she's spoiled however the young woman is much more than that all my life I read about true love and fairy tales and tia you found it I'll kiss him for you honey no marriage required she's a good generous person who's willing to prioritize her friends love for navine over her own desire to be royalty she's also a blast to be around we'd be lucky to have her in our corner so we'd recommend re-watching the Princess and the Frog while keeping a special eye out for lah this time how old did you say you were I'm 6 and a half well I waited this long number 20 Miss Bianca The Rescuer franchise are you are you all right dear why she she tried to kill that that that terrible woman Miss Bianca is arguably one of the first true feminists to come out of The Mouse House when The Rescuers hit theaters in 1977 female Disney characters weren't generally depicted as strong or self-reliant this little mouse however stood out as a modern lady just went through a red light oh I do that all the time darling no come on stop woring classy resourceful and full of passion anybody would want to have an adventure with her Bianca's outgoing attitude perfectly compliments the timid Bernard her partner at the rescue Aid Society what did you do to make him so mad nothing he's just a just a grumpy old lion both of these characters are treated as equals and neither is limited by his or her gender Bianca in particular lights up the screen with her Charisma just as she's an underrated character the same could be said about the 1990 sequel The Rescuers Down Under but you don't understand a boy needs our help he's in trouble boy you mean little kid kind of boy number 19 Captain Amelia Treasure Planet Mr hog make sure all lifelines are secured good and tight the ladies of this list come from a wide variety of backgrounds but how many can say they've piloted a sailboat through space this feline Captain serving as the film equivalent to Captain Smet in this sci-fi film adaptation of Treasure Island is an exceptional leader and Navigator who guides the RLS Legacy across black holes supernovas and Cosmic storms here it comes hold on to your lifelines J it's going to be a bumpy ride paired with her nautical expertise is her quick wits sophisticated style of speech and her uncompromising Professional Standards don't much care for This Crew you hired they how did I describe the marrow I said something rather good this morning before coffee a ludicrous parcel of driveling galut ma'am known to some as the finest captain in this or any other Galaxy Amelia is about as tough and brave as they come in this under appreciated box office flop unorthodox but ludicrously effective number 18 K Atlantis the Lost Empire you do swim do you not oh I swim pretty girl pretty good pretty good good swim good pretty good I swim pretty good kah is a different kind of Disney princess she doesn't sing songs or wear fancy dresses rather this princess and eventual queen of Atlantis is a warrior woman who knows how to handle herself in battle K isn't a straight face stick in the mud though she also has a certain wide-eyed curiosity that makes her more identifiable I have some questions for you and you are not leaving this city until they are answered since this film didn't do so well at the Box office K is never marketed in the Disney Princess franchise given the cult status Atlantis has been gaining however perhaps K will join her fellow Royals someday if these Outsiders can unlock the secrets of our past perhaps we can save our future number 17 Kiara The Lion King to Simba's Pride them us look at them they are us what differences do you see this direct video sequel might not be able to compete with the original Masterpiece but it still managed to give us a compelling new protagonist I'm not just a princess you know that's only half of who I am the film shifts Focus from King Simba to his daughter and future Queen of the pride lands Kara like her father before her this lioness is headstrong and rebellious but Brave and compassionate as well she isn't afraid to follow her heart either falling in love with a banished lion named Kovu despite his connection to scar never done this before really my father and I used to do this all the time he says all the great Kings of the past are up there most importantly she exemplifies the makings of a strong ruler using peace and logic to bring two feuding families together a wise King once told me we are one I didn't understand him then now I do since making her debut Kiara's circle of life has continued in the Disney animated series The Lion guard I was nervous about ruling the pride lands at first too I'm not nervous well maybe a little number 16 Franny Robinson Meet the Robinsons surely that is not the best you can do compared to some other members of The Wacky Robinson family Franny is fairly level-headed and responsible at the same time though she's still colorful creative and crazy in all the right ways your words do not threaten me brother then enough words now the real battle begins with a passion for music this pioneering woman conducts a choir of Jazzy frogs hey guys you ask me over and over and over have you seen my peacock F hat frog taught him everything they know in addition to being an Innovative musician and master of martial arts she's also a loving nurturing parent she's not only affectionate towards her own son Wilbur but will welcome any child in need with open arms a mother who knows best Franny is always right even when she's wrong just a little tip for the future I am always right even when I'm wrong I'm right number 15 chicha The Emperor's New Groove I got to go wash something pacha's very pregnant wife chicha could have been a pretty straightforward forgettable character yet the film actually develops her into someone incredibly likable okay everybody move aside lady with a baby coming through the glue that holds her family together chicha is caring supportive and typically the smartest person in the room he is the Emperor I'm sure he's busy no no no no no Emperor or no Emperor it's called common courtesy she knows how to resolve almost any problem while still maintaining a calm demeanor and sense of humor what do you mean the door is stuck a cry jiggling the handle there is no handle in here there's not are you sure all right I've had enough of this tell us where the talking llama is and we'll burn your house to the ground even when the Diabolical Emma threatens to burn her house down chicha easily takes control of the situation with some help from her hyper children and remember she won't think twice about smashing your face in with a frying pan hi there um that was him whoops number 14 sadness inside out wait Joy you could get lost in there think positive okay I'm positive you will get lost in there although she seems like a one-note kill jooy at first sadness proves that feelings can have many different layers after 11-year-old Riley moves from Minnesota to San Francisco Joy attempts to keep her spirits High while keeping sadness at Bay however it eventually becomes clear that sadness is an essential part of Being Human I'm too sad to walk just give me a few hours everybody has to deal with disappointment loss and change on occasion sometimes we need to cry in order to move forward crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life's problems when sadness finally takes control of Riley's console it's equally tear-jerking and uplifting amounting to a happy ending sadness thus emerges as an unsung hero in one of Pixar's most emotional movies to date I can't die yes you can Riley needs you number 13 Maid Marion Robin Hood please sir I beg of you to spare his life please have mercy we were tempted to go with the Plucky lady in waiting lady cluck but we really can't talk about maid Maran enough aside from being a humanoid maid Maran stands out from other Disney heroins for several reasons for starters she doesn't fall in love with a prince Maran my love will you marry me oh darling I thought you'd never ask me but an outlaw who robs from the rich Maran and Robin Hood don't follow the love at first sight Trope either as they actually formed a strong connection during their youth while they are separated for an extended period oh Robin you're so brave and impetuous Maran still holds a torch for Robin and sees all the good he's doing for the poor people of nodding him when Robin faes execution she pleads with the dastardly Prince Jon to spare his life and is eventually reunited with her true love playful kind and courageous ma Maran is undeniably one foxy lady you have six children six oh it doesn't at least number 12 isma The Emperor's New Groove if youu drops in his drink then I'll propose a toast and he will be dead before dessert Disney villains are usually known for being crafty and menacing but isma is a straightup comedic baddy that might be why she's often overlooked but it's also what makes her such a unique antagonist although she aspires to be taken seriously isma's wicked schemes always blow up in her face why do we even have that level remember when the evil queen used the poison apple on Snow White well isma's plan to poison Emperor Cusco plays out more like a screw ball farce as he's accidentally turned into a llama isma never lets go of her Conquest for power but all she finds is failure and humiliation around every corner this makes her a great source course of Comedy especially when paired with her moronic henchman Kon take him out of town and finish the job now what about dinner crank this is kind of important number 11 Go Go Big Hero 6 welcome to the nerd lab Baymax May steal the show but Big Hero 6 has no shortage of fun supporting characters this adrenaline junkie particularly stands out with her engineering gifts athletic skills and Need for Speed that's [Music] it you wouldn't want to get on goo's bad side or challenge her to a drag race for that matter as fast as she is furious she never fails to woman up in the face of danger stop whining woman up although go go comes off as tough and sarcastic she also possesses a strong sense of morality and a kind heart she'll loyally fight alongside any of her friends and is always there when somebody needs a hug she might be a tech nerd but that doesn't make her any less badass it might make her more so why are we stopped the lights red there are no red lights in a car chase number 10 Nala The Lion King who are you it's me Simba a childhood friend of Prince Simba this spirited young lionist is always up for a little exploration and Mischief Nala grows up to become a fiercely independent resident of the Pride lands refusing to live under Scar's tyranny boldly leaving her home to seek out help she finds an old friend and the rightful King isn't it great we could get in big trouble I know Nala not only pushes Simba to confront his past and accept his responsibilities but also opens his heart to mature romantic feelings returning to Pride Rock Nala and Simba rise above scar taking their place in the circle of life together it just goes to show that behind every great king is a great Queen no sim has gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king oh number nine Alice Alice in Wonderland if I had a world of my own everything would be nonsense this treasure Disney classic is full of Unforgettable characters such as the Mad Hatter the chesher cat and the Queen of [Music] Hearts ironically the one character that usually gets overlooked is Alice herself in a movie this zany and off thewall though the audience needs a sensible protagonist to bring them back to reality it would be so nice if something would make sense for a change aside from being a relatable heroine Alice is polite smart and Spunky even if her curiosity can get her into trouble she always stands up for herself and fights to keep her head when I get home I should write a book about this place if I if I ever do get home being a Daydreamer Alice ultimately finds that Wonderland can be a nice place to visit but she would not want to live there well I've had enough nonsense I'm going home straight home number eight Jesse Toy Story franchise y full of energy and joy this yodeling cowgirl makes us all wish that toys could spring to life prospector said someday you'd come sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln the prospector he'll want to meet you although Jesse is often cheerful she's not all fun in games behind her friendly exterior she's overcome with an overwhelming fear of Abandonment you can't help but shed a tear after learning about Jesse's falling out with her previous owner Emily you never forget kids like Emily or Andy but they forget you speaking of which have you heard the theory that Emily might be Andy's mom Andy oh well we digress the point is that Jesse is an incredibly empathetic character we come to truly care about through her friendship with Woody she eventually finds a new home with Andy and later with young Bonnie she even shares a Charming romance with Buzz Lightyear number seven the muses Hercules that is what our story is you listen to him he's making this story sound like some Greek tragedy Tien up dude we'll take it from here darling you go girl you wouldn't think that a gospel choir and ancient Greece would go hand inand the muses somehow pull it off though narrating our hero's journey in style come on here with speed and royalties ourt had cast to burn [Music] now often found within pieces of art the these five goddesses move the story along with catchy music and great comedic timing they additionally help the conflicted Mega to see the light and accept her feelings for hunkules honey you mean hunkules Believe It or Not Disney was originally eyeing the Spice Girls to voice the muses but their plate was too full apparently they thought Spice World would be a better career move oh my God R for it regardless the muses knew how to make Greek mythology fun and that's the gospel truth honey impossible that's theel truth number six Nani Peli Lilo and Stitch if you promise not to fight anymore I promise not to yell at you except on special occasions Lilo and Stitch is largely about the relationship between Lilo and Stitch duh yet some of the most powerful moments in the film are shared between Lilo and her older sister Nani did you lose your job because of stitching me nah the manager's a vampire and he wanted me to join his Legion of the undead I knew it after their parents tragically die Nani becomes lilo's legal guardian although Nani tries her best she struggles to act a single parent while also maintaining a steady job the fact that a Stern social worker is constantly on her back doesn't help I am the one they call when things go wrong and things have indeed gone wrong despite her frustration Nani loves Lilo more than anything and will do whatever it takes to keep her family together even if you took the lovable Stitch out of the equation this film still could have worked as a relatable poignant story about Ohana Ohana means family family means no gets left behind number five princess eloni The Black Cauldron I'm princess aloni are you a lord or a warrior Alan holds the princess title but she's never been marketed alongside Snow White Cinderella or the Magic Kingdom's other Royal residents this is largely because the Black Cauldron wasn't a success upon release since the film has developed a devoted Following over the years though Disney should really invite Elan to their most exclusive Club you are somebody you must believe in yourself I believe in you adventurous and FL lucky Alan demonstrated that princesses could be more than damsels in distress what does a girl know about swords anyway girl girl if it weren't for this girl you would still be in the horned King's dungeon when we first see her she actually rescues Taran from the dreaded horn King's dungeon well you'd better stay close to me or you'll get lost an active heroin who takes charge Alan arguably paved the way for the likes of Ariel and Bell marking a significant turning point for Disney princesses that shouldn't be ignored well I got a out of the castle didn't I I'd say it was the sword's magic number four Jane Porter Tarzan you stay away from me like a very good wild man at first glance Jane might seem like a typical Damsel in Distress granted this English lady does need to be rescued by Tarzan upon first arriving in the jungle seeing how Jane is out of her usual environment though it makes sense that she would get off to a bumpy start plus her and enthusiasm make Jane a damsel you'd want to save from danger put me down put me down up Pi up pick up most importantly Jane adapts to the Jungle over time learning to swing from Vines like a pro she additionally shows Tarzan what it means to be human in return the AP Man shows Jane how to let out her Wildside I was saved by a Flying Wild Man in a loin cloth loin cloth good Lord number three megaa herc cules it's Wonder Boy here for real what are you talking about of course he's real in many respects Disney's interpretation of Hercules is a lot like Superman so it's only fitting that herk's love interest would possess all of Lois Lane's spunk and sarcasm I'm a damsel I'm in distress I can handle this have a nice day Meara or Meg for short were friends gives up on romance after an ex-boyfriend leaves her heartbroken while she's reluctant to admit her true feelings for herk at first the muses help Meg to accept the fact that she's in love no way ion it due to her contract with the lord of the underworld Meg is forced to stab her hero in the back through sacrifice and bravery though she finds Redemption and becomes a true hero in her own right Wonder Boy what why did you people always do crazy things when they're in love number two Esmeralda The Hunchback of notredam Esmeralda sh you'll hide here until you're strong enough to move Esmeralda is one of Disney's most exquisitely drawn female characters but it's what's on the inside that makes her such a compelling person seeing the value of inner beauty this dancer stands up for the deformed Quasimoto while everyone else mocks and shames him the only fool I see is you although she's had her fair share of run-ins with the law Esmeralda knows how to get herself out of trouble with a smile even when she finds herself in a seemingly hopeless situation this rebellious woman will still hold her head high and accept fate with dignity showing the lonely Hunchback what a man is really made of Esmeralda is an alluring free spirit an inspiring role model and a truly underappreciated Disney heroine wow you're quite an acrobat thank you before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions Olivia flaversham The Great Mouse Detective this young mouse goes through more than she's given credit for just wait B smarter than you he's going to put you in jail he's not afraid of a big old ugly rat like you honeylemon Big Hero 6 an iconic intelligent yet of ignored Optimist Tada it's pretty great huh so pink here's the best [Music] part who I know right chemical metal embrittlement Sarah Hawkins Treasure Planet a single mother who has more than earned her moment it's been hard enough keeping this place afloat by myself without you going Mom it's no big deal there was nobody around those cops just won't get off my forget it Blue Fairy Pinocchio we know she doesn't grant wishes for attention but we still think she could use a bit more of it we'll be good won't we very well but this is the last time I can help you disgust inside out we're disgusted by the lack of Love towards this hysterically relatable emotion she basically keeps Riley from being poisoned physically and
