9) Prince Phillip
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Voice: Bill Shirley

• "True love conquers all." Maleficent may have been mocking Prince Phillip when she spoke these words, but with the help of three fairies heroic in their own right, "our hero," as he is called, arises to prove those words true. In one of the most aesthetically stunning and adventuresome scenes in Disney history, the prince slays the witch dragon and with a kiss awakens the true love he walked with "once upon a dream." - Aaron Wallace
• "Prince Phillip fits the iconic image of a hero to the letter. He is the guy who rushes to his lady's rescue with sword and shield, heedless of the danger to himself. Furthermore, he has wit, grace, and a nice singing voice. He comes across as a believable person and someone who would be fun to spend some time with." - BrandonH
• "Without him, Sleeping Beauty would still be...sleeping." - RJKD23
 
8) Buzz Lightyear
Toy Story (1995), Toy Story 2 (1999), and Toy Story 3 (2010)
Voice: Tim Allen

• "I remember over here in England when Toy Story was first released that there was a crisis at Christmas. Everybody wanted a Buzz Lightyear doll despite there being low numbers made. On watching Toy Story again recently, I have come to the conclusion of why these dolls were so rare; Buzz rocks! He's agile, slick and has a little light that blinks. But most importantly, he can fly! Or in the eyes of some toys, he can fall...with style!" - Joe (Wonderlicious)
• "Tooo infinity...and beyond!" The scene in Sid's room describes Buzz's true hero side and Toy Story 2 proved it further when he lead the toys to save Woody. - RJKD23
• "Timon/Pumba fan" on Buzz Lightear: "To Infinity and Beyond!" Buzz Lightear may be just a toy, but he is one of the most coolest heroes of all time! That's why ever since the movie came out I've wanted a Buzz Lightear!
 
7) Quasimodo
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
Voice: Tom Hulce
Animator: James Baxter

"Quasimodo's is a sad and tear-worthy story. While not my favorite of Disney's various movies, The Hunchback of Notre Dame presented one of the first male protagonists that you could feel for. He was lied to all his life by Judge Claude Frollo. Through all his misery, and the misery he would most likely endure onwards in life, Quasimodo stood up to save a woman selflessly. Although he loved her, he didn't throw a temper tantrum when he found out she loved another. That, to me, is what true love is, even if not returned. And only a worthy hero could ever provide such a love." - Disney's Divinity
 

6) Tarzan
Tarzan (1999)
Voices: Alex D. Linz (Young), Tony Goldwyn (Adult)
Animators: John Ripa (Young), Glen Keane (Adult)
 
5) Mr. Incredible
The Incredibles (2004)
Voice: Craig T. Nelson

• "Incredible strength that saved the world and his family." - RJKD23
• "Timon/Pumba fan" on Mr. Incredible(a.k.a Bob Par): Mr. Incredible is my favorite hero. I think the main reason I like him so much is because I can relate to him. He reminds me of my Dad. Not only is his character interesting but his super powers make him as cool as possible! GO MR. INCREDIBLE!
 
4) Hercules
Hercules (1997)
Voices: Tate Donovan (Adult), Joshua Keaton (Young), Roger Bart (singing)
Animators: Andreas Deja (Adult), Randy Haycock (Young)

• "In my view, Hercules exeplifies what a true hero is made of. At first his passion is fame, fortune, and success which makes up the attributes of many heros of today (sports players, movie stars). He discovers the true deffinition when saving Meg where he proves that he values the lives of others even if it means the chance of losing his own. His growth as a person comes to a conclusion when he realizes that an immortal life of bliss and leisure can not compare what he has on earth. Hercules helped define a true hero in an age where the title of hero is filled with imposters." - Stephen
 
3) Beast
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Voice: Robby Benson
Animator: Glen Keane

"Once upon a time in an enchanted forest, there was a beautiful castle where a reclusive beast lived. He was once a prince but had been transformed into a monster for his mean ways. If he could learn to love and be loved by a beautiful girl, then the spell would be broken...but who could learn to love a beast? Well, many obviously could as the Beast of Disney's Beauty and the Beast is now one of Disney's most beloved characters. And it's not hard to see why. Beautifully animated by Glen Keane and given a voice by the wonderful Robby Benson, both helped to develop his fully dimensional personality, making him sympathetic, dramatic and interesting. The Beast seldom feels like a cartoon character; he seems as if he is real." - Joe (Wonderlicious)
 
2) Simba
The Lion King (1994)
Young Simba's Voice: Jonathan Taylor Thomas (speaking), Jason Weaver (singing)
Adult Simba's Voice: Matthew Broderick (speaking), Joseph Williams (singing)
Animator: Mark Henn (Young), Ruben Aquino (Adult)

• "In the course of The Lion King, Simba grows from prince to king and the audience is there with him the entire way. Early on, he claims bravery as his hallmark and soon thereafter, it's tested in a way that stuck with him and with the audience forever. In the face of evil, oppression, a maniacal and treacherous uncle, and even death, by the film's end, Simba proves he is every bit as courageous as he believed himself to be as a child." - Aaron Wallace
• "In practically every movie of The Lion King's trilogy, he's saved someone." - RJKD23
• "Timon/Pumba fan" on Simba: "The King has Returned." Simba is one of the bravest characters in Disney History or cinema history! Though at first he's scared, he later learns his lesson and risks his life in order to take his place in the Circle of Life. TWO THUMBS UP FOR SIMBA!
 
1) Aladdin
Aladdin (1992)
Speaking Voice: Scott Weinger
Singing Voice: Brad Kane
Animator: Glen Keane

• "There's some quality to Aladdin's character that causes everyone, or at least the male portion of the population, to identify with him. From his rise from the slums of life to his quest to get the girl to his efforts to defend her and figure himself out on the way, Aladdin is a strong protagonist and proves himself heroic in the face of everyone's least favorite vizier, Jafar." - Aaron Wallace
• "There are six princes to match Disney's six fairy tale princesses: three are interchangeable, two need saving by their women, and then there's Aladdin, the only prince that can be called a hero in every respect. He's not the strongest guy in the Disney cannon, but he has the heart to triumph over them all. Aladdin makes it very clear early on that it's not about the bling, but what's on the inside that counts. Of course, in a true reflection of modern-day America, he gets caught up in the Hollywood lifestyle, forgetting his simple playful antics that wooed Jasmine in the first place. Aladdin learns his lesson, and all turns out well for this future monarch." - Prince Eric
• "My pick for the greatest Disney hero is Aladdin. This was a hard category, but I picked Aladdin because he was the hero who overcame the most. He started out the movie as a 'street rat' and we saw as he rose up and fulfilled his true potential as a hero thanks to his wits(and a little help from the Genie). That, and he's the only hero to trick the villain into defeating himself!" - Raydawggie
• "Aladdin found a genie, became a Prince, found his true love, defeated the enemy Jafar. Fast-forward through the sequels, and he demolished Jafar and the 40 thieves, became an actual Prince by marrying Jasmine." - RJKD23
 
25) Kida
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Voices: Cree Summer (Adult), Natalie Strom (Young)
Animator: Randy Haycock

If Milo Thatch had simply given in to popular belief, he would have never discovered Atlantis and never met Kida, the legendary land's princess. Some people may write off Atlantis as a creative and financial failure, others may simply fall asleep during it. But enough of the people who voted either respect the film or at least stayed awake during Kida's parts.
 
24) Mia Thermopolis
The Princess Diaries (2001) and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)
Actress: Anne Hathaway

At the start of The Princess Diaries, Mia Thermopolis is a girl whose high school experience is more accurate to many viewers than the glamorized portrayal seen in most films and television shows. It's not miserable, thanks to a cynical but loyal best friend. However, shyness and clumsiness keep Mia out of the popular cliques and at the receiving end of jokes. All that changes when Mia learns that she is the princess of a little European country called Genovia. Upon this news, the ordinary looks and awkward exclusions are gone. Through it all, Mia remains true to herself and her real friends. Her enemies are not wicked stepmothers or sorcerers but simply the status-seeking and holding fake teenagers who occupy so many high schools today. Thanks to an earnest breakthrough performance and charismatic follow-up by Anne Hathaway, Mia is a most likable klutz, a girl whose good qualities are not lost even in a fairy-tale transformation, a three-dimensional princess down-to-earth even in power.
• "I think Mia deserves a high honor because not every awkward teenager finds out she is a Princess and learns to deal with it with grace and humor. She is reality...a princess that girls can relate to." - "LizzieMcGuire"
