The Blog of Eternal Boredom: Animated Crushes

I decided to compile a list of my animated crushes. No particular reason, I’ve just been thinking about it recently. I have, in fact, ranked them. I am including ALL my animated crushes, not just Disney. These are crushes I’ve had over the years. Some of them still linger or are even in full swing (mostly the top five or six are the most prominent currently)...

15) Simba- The Lion King

The first movie I ever loved (like, literally)! Don’t talk to me about beastiality because I think the first elephant in the room we should address is that all these guys are ANIMATED!!! I remember watching it as a kid and I just thought Simba was the coolest, but then when I got a little older, I realized how much I really liked him. As an adult, I think I’ve gotten over the crush, but I definitely have a soft spot for him.

14) Phillip- Sleeping Beauty

I remember as a kid I thought he was awesome for all the things he did at the end of the movie like killing a dragon and such (I still think it’s pretty cool). He’s one of the few princes who really steal the spotlight in a princess movie. He’s also got my favorite line in the movie: “Now, father, you’re living in the past. This is the fourteenth century.” Haha! Then, of course, he’s very handsome as he should be.

13) Eric- The Little Mermaid

I don’t have much to say about him except he’s probably one of the most handsome of all the princes. His dark hair and blue eyes! *swoon* And he’s just so nice and happy all the time. What a good guy! And he has a dog!

12) Hercules- Hercules

Love this guy! He’s like an awkward, shy kid in a giant body. He’s such a cute, naive little sweetheart who’s out to do good. I love how he stumbles over himself all the time and has a minor stammer, especially when he’s around Meg. “A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” Yes!

11) Robin Hood- Disney’s Robin Hood

Man, I still think he’s the coolest! He’s so suave and chill, escaping the law with such ease. Plus he’s so kind to the people of Nottingham and really good with kids. Not to mention how romantic and totally in love with Maid Marian he is. I also love his English accent. I don’t care that he’s a fox! He’s awesome!

10) Flint Lockwood- Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

This might sound dumb to some people, but I 100% had a crush on him. This movie is one of my guilty pleasures and I guess I just like those brainy, awkward, quirky, funny weirdo-types (but in an endearing way).

9) Max Goof- A Goofy Movie

He’s just so relatable with how awkward and insecure he is. He’s such a teenager, but underneath his angsty exterior, he cares a lot about others (especially his dad) and he’s so genuine in trying to make them happy. Plus, he’s so cool in those few scenes when he’s dancing on stage.

8) Shang- Mulan

What a boss! And what a hunk! He’s so honorable and awesome (“a life for a life. My debt is repaid.”) And he sings the best Disney song ever written, so there’s that too.

7) Aladdin- Aladdin

Our street rat-turned prince with a heart of gold (our “diamond in the rough” if you will). Find somebody who doesn’t love Aladdin, I dare you! Fun fact, the animators were going to model his design after Michael J. Fox, but thought he was too skinny, so they went for Tom Cruise instead. You can definitely see it.

6) Zuko- Avatar: The Last Airbender

Ooh boy! Talk about a complex character. My roommate has a SERIOUS crush on this guy and for good reason. He’s got so many sides to him and he’s so interesting! All throughout the show, you just find yourself totally invested in him. And by the third season, when he grows out his hair, you’re like, “whoa, hello Zuko! *cat call*”

5) Dimitri- Anastasia

A very early crush from my childhood. I remember being little and totally loving him. “Maybe we should stop [spinning]” “We have stopped.” He’s just so cute! And-- as my roommate recently pointed out-- he dresses well.

4) Hiccup- How to Train Your Dragon (series)

He’s cute, he’s smart, he’s brave, he’s witty, he’s a peace-keeper, he stands up for what he believes in, and he loves animals (or dragons, I guess). What else could you ask for?

3) Hector- Coco

Man, don’t even get me started on this guy! I could write a novel! I love his optimism, his charisma, his goofiness. And he’s so sweet and such a good dad (not just to Coco, but to Miguel too). Plus, he’s a musician! That’s always some extra points :D

2) Ron Stoppable- Kim Possible

This is a deep-rooted crush. I’ve loved him since childhood. He’s one of my earliest loves, probably because I relate to him a little bit. He’s clumsy and awkward, he’s a social outcast, but he takes it in stride. He is always himself no matter what people say about him. He’s so supportive, he’s funny, and totally lovable. And who doesn’t want a romance like Kim and Ron? Falling in love with your best friend? So cute!

1) Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert- Tangled

My number one spot! Is anyone even surprised about this? He’s funny, he’s smokin’, he’s charming, he sings, and he’s a rogue with a heart of gold. Plus, he DIED for love! Not to mention he’s voiced by my number one celebrity crush ;P I just love how he treats Rapunzel after he warms up to her and how he looks at her! Ahh! *swoon*

Now, some honorable mentions. These are the guys whom I really, really liked and/or thought were cute, but it never developed into a full-on crush...

Kristoff- Frozen
