11 Of The Most Highly Underrated Disney Characters
Disney Wiki

Everyone has their favorite Disney character, whether it's Anna, Elsa, Woody, Buzz or Winnie the Pooh and his gang, but there are always those characters in Disney movies who, honestly, don't get enough credit. This list consists of 11 Disney characters who are highly underrated and should be given more recognition.


1. Nigel from "Finding Nemo"

Who can forget the huge bird that flies in on a daily basis to see the little fish in the dental office and decides not to eat them? Remember, fish are friends, not food. We also can’t forget just how huge he is in "Finding Nemo: The Musical" in Disney's Animal Kingdom. His Australian accent also can’t help but make you love him. The fact that he also helped to save Nemo gives him double points!


2. Iago from "Aladdin"

I think that we all can relate to Iago in a way. He gets overly frustrated with everything under the sun, but is also mischievous and cunning in a cute way.



3. Zenon from "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century"

I know that this is a DCOM, but we all know that this movie deserves a spot on this list. One of the greatest movies created for the Disney Channel, Zenon encompasses what it’s like to be a teen her age. She’s also from space! We all know that we fangirled over Prota Zoa too, don’t lie!


4. Ethan Craft from "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"

Although he always came off as unintelligent, he always meant well to people. Ethan was never mean to anyone and tried to help Lizzie out, but failed miserably in the end. You can’t help but love his dorky grin and boyish haircut.



5. Aslan from "The Chronicles of Narnia"

Aslan and "The Chronicles of Narnia" will always be underrated in my opinion. The fact that he stands up for the kids and sacrifices himself makes him one of the most heroic characters in Disney history.


6. Hades from "Hercules"

Hades is my favorite villain by far. He has the most sarcastic attitude out of all the Disney villains and his sass could kill. My life goal is to meet Hades at Walt Disney World if it’s the last thing that I do.


7. Rex from "Toy Story"

The always enthusiastic green dinosaur from "Toy Story" will always be one of my favorites. He may be clumsy at times, but I’ve always been fond of him for making light of things and being the comic relief of the movies.



8. Madame Leota from "The Haunted Mansion"

Madame Leota has an iconic role on the ride, but, in the movie, she’s not given nearly enough credit. I’m not going to lie, the movie scared the living daylights out of me as a child, but Madame Leota provided some type of comic relief with it. She can also talk to the dead, which is pretty awesome.



9. Giselle from "Enchanted"

I love "Enchanted" just because it’s different from any other Disney movie because it’s animated and live action in one movie. McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy also plays Giselle’s love interest, which makes it that much better. Giselle is hilarious and sweet at the same time. Plus, the music from that movie is actually pretty amazing in my opinion.



10. Tantor from "Tarzan"

Tantor is the cute little elephant from "Tarzan" who has a timid attitude. You can tell that he has a huge heart, though, and always means well for his friends. Also, you can't get much cuter than the scene when he’s a baby elephant for an animated movie.



11. Mushu from "Mulan"

Mushu is Mulan’s companion and confidant, acting as her brave protector. He’s overconfident for how small he is, but he provides humor to the movie and is always one of my favorites. If he ever does a meet-and-greet, you'd best believe that I’ll be one of the first ones in line to meet him.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
