Let’s face it, folks—at this point, Disney pretty much owns the entirety of mainstream, popular entertainment. For fans of the company, this is largely great news, as the potential for crossovers big and small are virtually endless. Of course, it all started with just a man and a dream, which happened to involve drawing countless pictures of adorable cartoon mice, ducks, and whatever the heck Goofy is supposed to be (a dippy dawg?).
The Disney empire has grown so vast since it’s humble origins that it’s almost difficult to remember it all began with just a few funny animals and their simple adventures. Unless, that is, you happened to be a fan of the cartoons they originated in, which is a status virtually all children have held throughout the world for centuries. So simplistic and universal are the Disney characters that your favorites are probably just whichever ones you were introduced to first.
This means that your favorite Disney character isn’t necessarily the one you have the most in common with. The older you get, the less you may share with the cute animal you once heavily identified with as a child. To find out how much your childhood favorites really influenced your life, keep reading to take our quiz and find out which classic Disney character you are.
Are you married or in a relationship?
Disney movies are made for kids, so the characters rarely start out married. Of course, true love is important, so that’s the path they’re inevitably headed towards. Do you plan on going down the same path, or are you happy to fly solo?
Do you have or want any children?
Due to how babies are made, the average Disney character doesn’t have any children, given the implications that would have. This is a bit strange regardless of the specifics, considering the vast majority of Disney fans start watching the movies as children. Do you have any kids who love them?
Can you speak more than one language?
There’s something about a cartoon mouse that works in absolutely every language, so the characters created by Disney are famous all around the world. Because of how well they resonate with children, this might even help some younger fans expand their global vocabulary. Are you able to speak multiple languages?
Do you have any pets?
Being animals themselves, the classic Disney characters seem a little ill equipped to handle pets. Then again, they all chip in and handle Pluto quite well, keeping that rascally pooch in line despite his base canine instincts. Do you have any animals that you take care of?
Which style of comedy is your favorite?
Unlike other children’s cartoons such as Bugs Bunny, it was never Mickey Mouse’s job to make kids laugh. The smiling rodent and his friends were more about general good vibes, with jokes coming secondary. That doesn’t mean those kids didn’t grow up to have a sense of humor, though.
What kind of music do you like?
Responsible for more songs than virtually any other production company in the world, Disney is pretty much a musical genre in and of itself. That said, this genre heavily borrows from traditional pop, and that might not be the favorite of every single Disney fan out there. What’s your preference?
Do you like sports?
Thanks to the nature of advertising, Mickey Mouse and his friends have probably been drawn playing absolutely every sport that exists. Because their corporate overlords would never allow Mickey or Goofy to be bad at something, they’re naturally pretty great at all these sports, too. Are you?
Which of the following foods is your favorite?
The average mouse seems to prefer eating cheese and whatever other crumbs humans drop on the floor, yet for some reason, we imagine Mickey as having a greater palate than most in his species. Same is true for old Donald in terms of his diet versus the average duck.
Which job would you rather have?
In one sketch or another, most Disney characters set the trend for cartoon characters having infinitely adaptable jobs. They can do just about anything the story calls for, so long as they aren’t expected to keep at it for more than 15 minutes or less. Which job would you want?
Are you artistic?
Being one of the most expansive and popular cartoon empires in the universe, the geniuses at Disney were obviously very creative people. Giving back to the community, they’ve no doubt also inspired millions of children around the world to draw, paint, and create. Were you one of them?
What’s your best quality?
More than just an entertainment company, Disney often tries to spread positive messages of cheer in their most popular productions. Hopefully, this has had the side affect of creating some well rounded, positive children in the many fans they have around the world. What qualities did Disney inspire in you?
What’s your worst quality?
Well, not everybody’s perfect. Even if you paid extra close attention to all your favorite Disney classics, you’ve probably made a mistake or two in your life time, and that’s entirely okay. What matters is that you can recognize your imperfections and grow from them, so what’s your biggest flaw?
Do you consider yourself smart?
Mickey Mouse is a friendly face to just about everyone, but this isn’t the only quality that makes him a great leader. In just about every way, this is one rodent who has a good head on his shoulders. Are you equally wise?
Would you ever serve your country during a war?
One thing modern day Disney fans may not remember is that Donald Duck was a very active member of the US army. Mickey, too, could be seen drawn in army approved apparel in the rare propaganda video. Might you join them in defending the country?
Do you get along with your family?
Always priding themselves on strong family values, the Disney corporation surely hopes you answer this question in the affirmative. For that matter, watching their movies together is a solid activity for families of any ages. Were any relatives with you when you saw them?
Were you in any after school clubs?
Overachieving students aren’t done learning when the bell rings. Having learned lessons from their favorite Disney movies that hard work always pays off, some kids stayed after school in various clubs and academic organizations to keep the knowledge coming. Were you one of them?
Which Disney Princess is your favorite?
The original Disney characters were a little bit too animalistic to rule over kingdoms with any degree of grace. Years later, though, the idea of a beautiful and sophisticated princess completely overtook Disney’s former commitment to cute, silly animals. Which elegant young sovereign was your favorite?
How often do you give to charity?
Always looking to give back to society, Disney is well known for giving hundreds of millions of dollars to various charities each and every year. Unless you’re a billionaire too, it’s probably impossible for you to match these efforts, but that doesn’t mean you can’t modestly support a worthy cause.
Are you a good cook?
In the Disney universe, it’s best to leave the culinary arts to experts like Remy from Ratatouille. Of course, thinking outside the box, Remy is simply proof that rats can make for some pretty good chefs, so maybe Mickey and Minnie could join him in the kitchen. Could you?
What group did you belong to in school?
A key concept of most Disney movies is a feeling of togetherness inside a community. This is pretty much the exact opposite of your average high school, where cliques, groups, and social classes override just about everything else. Which one were you in?
What are you most afraid of?
Not even in the picture perfect world of Walt Disney is the world free of darkness. No matter who you are, there’s probably something about this crazy world that disturbs or scares you, preventing you from living life in complete and total happiness. What is it?
How often do you drink alcohol?
Never wanting to give a bad message to children, it should be no surprise that few Disney movies revolve around the concept of getting blackout drunk. Of course, this doesn’t mean adults who used to be Disney fans can’t grow up to imbibe now and again. Have you done that?
Where would you rather go on vacation?
For many people, Disney World itself is the ultimate vacation destination. In addition to the rides and the adorable cartoon characters come to life wandering down the streets, the so-called happiest place on Earth has plenty of charms everywhere you look. That doesn’t necessarily make it paradise, though. Where’s yours?
Are you neat and tidy?
Always looking to instill good values into their younger fans, Disney movies always look very clean and profession. This gave the impression to children that their own homes should be neat and tidy, free of clutter and filth that make them look messy. Did this lesson get through to you?
Have you ever broken the law?
The good, wholesome characters of Disney would never do anything uncouth, with breaking the law entirely out of the question. Of course, they can be slightly mischievous at times in search for fun, and mistakes can be made in the process. Have you done anything illegal, on purpose or not?
Do you like reading?
Ensuring that the kids who watch Disney movies also know how to read, there are a great deal of books, comics, and otherwise written media about Mickey and his friends in addition to the cartoons. Maybe you haven’t read them, but you’ve picked up a book. Did you enjoy it?
Are you a fan of sports?
It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re any good at sports when all you want to do is watch them. Disney characters might be all talented when the advertising calls for it, but even if they weren’t, this shouldn’t stop them from enjoying a good game when it’s on TV.
Are you a risk taker?
Brash, fearless, and always prepared for adventure, Disney characters are bigger risk takers than their animators might think. Of course, they wouldn’t take any truly dangerous risks, which may well defeat the purpose of the idea. Whether the danger is real or imagined, do you take risks?
What’s your favorite ‘90s Disney movie?
Disney may have originated almost a full century ago, yet for many readers of this web site, chances are your first exposure to the company came a bit later than that. The ‘90s brought along a new crop of Disney movies as good as the classics. Which was your favorite?
What’s your favorite type of animal?

What’s the most important thing in your life?
Material possessions can only get people so far, which is why most people would probably answer this question with, well, another person. If not a specific human, there’s likely some general concept of community that makes you happier than anything else. Is that the case, or do you prefer money?
Are you happy in your life?
They say Walt Disney World is the happiest place on Earth, and that may be so for the youngest and most imaginative people who visit the park. Unfortunately, though, we can’t spend our entire lives at Disney World. Have you found happiness in life another way?
Do you like video games?
Having dominated the movie industry for years, Disney has also made a handful of really good video games in the company’s long existence. Kingdom Hearts used Disney classics to great effect, and the later Epic Mickey games weren’t bad, either. Did you like them, or any other video games?
What kind of movies do you like?
The reason Disney movies have been so enduring with audiences of all ages is that they attempt to contain every genre possible in each story. Every Disney film has a reason to laugh, a reason to cry, and plenty of suspense and adventure in between. What’s your favorite part?
What kind of clothes do you wear?
Setting the tone for cartoon characters throughout all history, Disney characters have been wearing the same clothes since the first time they were drawn back in the ‘20s and ‘30s. As a real person, we’re sure you switch it up a bit, but what styles do you wear?
