Throughout the years, Disney has maintained a standard for presenting memorable characters both on the small and big screen. It all started in 1937 with Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, where audiences were introduced to the first animated Disney princess and villain. This trend continued with movies such as Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, and took a shift in the 90's with classics such as The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast; these movies took a more serious tone with characters such as Ariel, Beast, Scar, and Ursula, all of which go to great lengths to achieve their goals whether for better or worse.
The small screen has also given Disney fans a fair-share of iconic characters. Ever since the Disney Channel launched in the early 1980's, its entertained viewers with shows such as Kim Possible, Phile of the Future, Good Luck, Charlie, and Jessie. Each of these series presents relatable characters such as the crime-fighting Kim Possible, who despite being the best fighter around still has insecurities about her personal life; then there's Jessie, whose dreams of reaching fame lead her to discover the difficulties of the real world.
But with Disney's eighty-plus years of existence, only a real-Disney fan knows every name of its character creations.
