The Disney Princesses are some of the most iconic characters that the company has ever created. They're often strong, brave, and filled with amazing personalities to make them as compelling as possible. However, a popular trope that has come with Disney's Princesses is to give them companions and sidekicks throughout the movies.
These characters are often on hand to provide a lot of humor, which leads to them being tons of fun within the movie as they end up being memorable parts of the story. But out of all the Disney Princess sidekicks, who is the most likable? Is it Pascal with his silent humor, or Mushu and his sheer charisma that wins the day?
Hei-Hei
Hei-Hei is one of the newest Disney sidekicks, with this character being the sidekick for Moana. Hei-Hei doesn't talk, like a lot of other Disney sidekicks, which means that his individual personality isn't showcased in as much detail as others.
However, Hei-Hei is one of the most loyal sidekicks, always being by Moana's side throughout her adventure, despite attempts for him to have stayed at home. He's not an intelligent character, but that brings a lot of fantastic comedy with it, which helps make him very likable.
Gus Gus
Cinderella's life is a tough one before everything changes for her, but even when she's struggling, Gus Gus is there to pick her up. That's what immediately makes him one of the most likable characters within the movie, as he is always upbeat and positive, trying his best to help.
He might not always have the answers, and he's not the smartest of sidekicks, but he makes up for that with heart. Gus Gus just brings such great energy to the movie, and he quickly becomes a favorite.
Flounder
What's not to love about Flounder? As Ariel's best friend, Flounder is always by her side throughout all of the adventures, and while he can be anxious and worried a lot, he still always sticks with her. Seeing Flounder be brave and battle his fears is something that makes him truly compelling.
It's easy to love the character as his worrying is something that ends up being cute. No matter what, Flounder is loyal and that's a core trait for any Princess sidekick. He's reliable, honest, and he can be funny as well with some good one-liners, which helps him stand out as a character.
Pascal
When it comes to sass and charisma, Pascal has got it in abundance. He might not talk throughout Tangled, but it's always clear what Pascal is thinking and that helps to make him such a great character. Pascal is able to respond to everything brilliantly, and the facial expressions he pulls are often hilarious.
He has no problem in telling other characters how he feels, and that can be enjoyable to watch. As a character, he always has Rapunzel's best interests at heart, which is why he is quite judgmental of Flynn at the beginning, as he has to earn Pascal's respect, which is a great storyline.
Ray
Ray is a fantastic sidekick character and one that brings an unbelievable amount of emotion to Princess And The Frog. His storyline is one of the greatest in the movie, which has got sadness mixed with a brighter and kinder attitude as well.
Ray literally puts his life on the line for his friends, proving what type of person he is, and it is that which makes him such a likable character. While he brings a lot of focus on love and romance, he is also quirky and funny too, which makes him such a great character.
Mushu
While there are times when Mushu can be a little blunt, he is one of the greatest characters in Mulan, and someone who brings a ton of energy to the movie. Overall, the tone of the story is quite serious, and having the comedic addition of Mushu makes a big impact.
He brings tons of charisma and excitement. It also becomes clear that he deeply cares about Mulan and is willing to help her throughout the journey. Mushu does a lot for her throughout the movie, and he does everything in his power to make sure she doesn't get caught out.
Lumiere
Lumiere is a character that is full of charm and passion, putting everything into whatever he does. His role is to be the host, wanting to make life as comfortable and nice as possible for Belle and it's one that he thrives in throughout the movie.
Lumiere is a funny character, with his wit being a big part of his personality. With his back-and-forth relationship with Cogsworth being one of the funniest elements of the movie, it really helps Lumiere to become one of the most iconic Disney characters of all time.
Sebastian
Sebastian might be a little grumpy at times, but the reason he behaves that way is simply that he is trying to look out for Ariel. He wants the best for her and truly cares about the mermaid, which is something that makes him compelling as a character.
While his caring nature is something that makes him interesting, it is the over-the-top personality that Sebastian has which truly makes him great. He has major reactions towards everything which are often a lot of fun to watch.
Olaf
What is not to like about Olaf? He's a snowman that loves warm hugs and is always there for Anna throughout Frozen. He's one of the most caring sidekick characters, who goes above and beyond to try and help others, with his thoughtful and inquisitive comments often being interesting.
Of course, the main reason that Olaf is the most likable sidekick is just how funny he is. Olaf constantly has audiences cracking up and laughing throughout the movie with his great one-liners and physical comedy, and blending that with the heart and emotion of the character makes him a great one.
