About two months ago I wrote a blog post on my favorite Disney animal sidekicks. This time I'm doing my favorite non-animal sidekicks. (I've also realized that I didn't put Timon and Pumba on the animal sidekick llist. How did that happen!?) I didn't come up with many, so it's a rather short list.
The Genie from Aladdin. It's true that he's not human, but he's also not an animal. Never Had a Friend Like Me is probably my favorite song from Aladdin.
The various toys in Toy Story. Again, not human, but also not animals (although some are animal toys). I was never the biggest Toy Story fan until the third one. (I think it was because it made me sentimental about how I grew up with the other Toy Story movies.
Christopher Robin in Winnie the Pooh. I'll be honest, he was never my favorite character, but I feel like he needs to be on this list.
Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, etc. from Beauty and the Beast. It's no secret that this is my favorite Disney movie ever. I love all of the various humans turned objects in the movie.
The Lost Boys in Peter Pan. I think they're all cute, but they (and Peter) tend to get on my nerves a bit whenever I watch the movie. I can't blame them, since it makes sense that they'd be immature, but it does annoy me a little. Still, they act like cute little kids in certain parts of the movie. (I've just realized it's been years since I've seen Peter Pan. I should watch it. I've been seeing things about this new mini-series that's supposed to be about Peter Pan discovering Neverland or something. I want to look into that...)
Dopey and the other seven dwarves from Snow White. Snow White has always been one of my least favorite Disney movies. Still, I remember Dopey and the other dwarves being one of the only things I even remotely liked as a kid. (And Dopey was always my favorite.)
I'm sure there are some other awesome non-animal sidekicks, but those were all I could think of.

Favorite Disney Animal Sidekicks
Time for another Disney post! This one is about some of my favorite Disney animal sidekicks. As usual, these aren't really in any order, and there are probably some awesome ones that I'm completely forgetting.
1. Rafiki from The Lion King. Rafiki probably wouldn't be on here if I hadn't recently seen The Lion King 3D in theaters. I'd forgotten how awesome and hilarious he is. I'd be incredibly annoyed with him if I was Simba when he first meets Rafiki (besides as a baby), but I love him as a character.
2. Zazu from The Lion King. I love him even more than Rafiki. He has some great bits in the movie. Something I'd completely forgotten about the movie until I saw it a week or two ago was the bit where Zazu begins singing It's A Small World, and Scar says something about him singing anything other than that horrible song. I love how Disney is making fun of their own song there. This has next to nothing to do with Zazu, but I just wanted to share that tidbit.
(Also, it's weird classifying Rafiki and Zazu as "animal sidekicks" when everyone in The Lion King is an animal, but the do fit both animal and, basically, sidekick. The same goes for a couple of others on this list.)
3. Abu from Aladdin. I just think he's so cute and adorable!
4. Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. He sings Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl. That alone makes him awesome.
5. Flounder from The Little Mermaid. I don't have an exact reason for him to be on this list, but I'm still putting him here.
6. Mushu from Mulan. I think he's hilarious.
7. Dory from Finding Nemo. This is a Pixar film, which I don't usually include, but I'm making an exception for Dory. "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim, swim, swim, swim." Yeah... Plus, she can speak whale.
8. Crush from Finding Nemo. We'll include Squirt (who's adorable!) in here too. They're both awesome.
9. Benzai, Shenzai, and Ed from The Lion King. They may be evil, but the hyenas are hilarious, especially Ed.
10. Percy from Pocahontas. He's so cute.
11. Meeko from Pocahontas. He's also really cute.
I think this is one of my longer Disney lists. There are just too many awesome animal sidekicks in Disney movies. I know there are a lot more than I even put on this list.
