This can be from movies or TV. I like Horatio Thelonius Ignatius Crustaceous Sebastian from **The Little Mermaid**. It’s awesome when his jaw drops “Clank” when he sees Ariel with Prince Eric on the beach for the first time.

I also like Carpet from **Aladdin** , even though it’s not a speaking part.

I suppose this thread was inevitable.

I’ll say Olaf from Frozen. He’s a riot, but he’s more than just comic relief, he has real heart. (But not a skull. Or bones.)

Honorable mentions: Pascal the chameleon, from Tangled, and Rhino the hamster, from Bolt.

Since Edna Mode has been taken, I’ll go with [Kari](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0003846/quotes), the babysitter.

Secret of NIMH isn’t Disney, it’s Don Bluth. (His first movie after _leaving_ Disney, IIRC.)

Anyway…Olaf is great. Lumier and Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast were a fun pair, as were Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King.

For supporting ANTAGONISTS, I like Sir Hiss from Robin Hood.

I’ll go with the Sterling Holloway-voiced Cheshire Cat from _Alice in Wonderland_. Lewis Carroll (rather than the Disney people) deserves most of the credit for the words, of course–but the sly underplaying in the Disney version is all Holloway.

Currently Maximus - Horse character in Tangled another non speaking part but his expressions say it all. 🙂

I’m gonna stick with Timon And Pumbaa because they managed to have a fantastic cartoon show as well as add a lot to the movies they were in.

Almost all of the sidekicks have been fantastic though. Except the Gargoyles. Blugh.

I’m going with Genie from _Aladdin_. Fun and otherworldly, yes, but he also had some terrific educational “historical trivia” shorts on television (Prime time ABC network, IIRC).

So did Timon & Pumbaa; that’s where I learned about the photic sneeze reflex, and that I was in a minority of people who has it.

Has Disney reissued any of these shorts? They’d pair great with _Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land_ and _Scrooge McDuck and Money_.
