We love the Disney sidekicks so much and think that they are such important characters in the Disney universe. What would our most loved Disney films be without the likes of Hei Hei, Jiminy Cricket, Sebastian and Flounder, and Mushu?
Some would say the sidekicks often make the movie! And we think that is true.
Think of the qualities of these VIPs (Very Important Pals) — loyal, supportive, insightful, often comic relief. Have you ever wondered which Disney sidekick you’re most like? Which Disney sidekick is your spirit animal?
Pascal is a small chameleon from the film Tangled. Pascal is loyal and true to those he cares about, like Rapunzel. He’s also a great hype man since he always pushing Punzie to be her best self. Pascal is a great cheerleader. He will help you celebrate your successes and he will boost you up when you’re feeling down.

So if you are a great cheerleader who likes to celebrate other’s successes, and are witty, then Pascal might be your spirit animal.
On the other hand, there’s Maximus. As a trained palace horse for the Royal Guard of Corona, he is brave and dedicated. He stops at nothing until he reaches his goals. Maximus is also extremely intelligent. He’s feared by many criminals, but he has a big heart. Maximus Also gives others a second chance. He shows this when he ends up becoming best friends with his arch nemesis Flynn Rider.

Sebastian is dedicated to his career. He is often carefree, especially when it comes to his music. But, he can be very focused and strict when it comes to his job. With this being said, Sebastian is one who follows his heart, so he sometimes becomes more lenient during tough situations than King Trident would like. Sebastian is both loyal and kind, he would do anything to support the ones he loves. But he also worries. He worries that he is not enough for those around him and he faces a lot of anxiety when making tough decisions.

Terk kind of takes on the big sister role with Tarzan. She is very protective and often worries about Tarzan’s safety. Terk can be a little bossy at times, but it’s just because she knows what’s best for Tarzan and the others… or so she thinks.

How is Olaf not on this list?! He’s the best sidekick ever! Funny, loving & wise hidden beneath a simple character. He would melt for Anna!
Gotta go with Hei-hei. My wife and children agree for some reason.
I’d say most probably Sebastian!
Sorry, not a Disney Character, but my cartoon spirit animal would be Crusty from The Incredible Mr. Limpet. He’s an old, grouchy, cantankerous crab that deep down is a good critter who means well and a loyal friend.
However, some Allears readers may have another animal in mind for me.
