Favorite Spongebob Episodes

With all my new-found spare time, I’ve been watching Spongebob Squarepants. You know, I never really appreciated this show when I was younger and now that I’m older, I can see why. It’s not really made for kids, I think. Ha! I mean, it’s broadcasted on a kids’s network and the producers say it’s for kids, but really, I don’t think it is... at least not little kids. 

At first glance, it might seem stupid and mindless which is why it’s mistaken for a kids show. However, it has a very specific type of stupidness that’s tailored for older kids and adults. Sure, the colors and the silly voices might entertain the younger audiences, but the jokes and the stories are for the older ones. 

Anyways... that drabble out of the way, I find it hilarious! There’s a reason it’s been going on for twenty years! And there's been full-length movies plus a Broadway musical (which, frankly, the music is actually really good.) There's just something about this show that really resonates with people.

As is usual whenever I binge-watch something, I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite episodes. This list is made up of not the most classic/famous episodes, but ones that made me laugh the most and/or I thought were actually clever. Though, I know most of them are classics.


15) Tea at the Treedome
Spongebob meets Sandy the Squirrel for the first time and she invites him to her underwater tree dome for some tea. When he gets there, Spongebob realizes he can’t survive long without water.
I like this one just because of how over-the-top it gets with how much Spongebob is dying. The two sides at war inside himself: stay and make a friend or literally die. Haha! “When in doubt, pinky up.”

14) Dying for Pie
Squidward accidentally gives Spongebob an exploding pie and decides to make his last day on earth the best day of his life.
I’m a littler concerned about the person who wrote this episode. Haha! An exploding pie? But it’s sure memorable. I also love all the random funny moments like watching the sunset with the brick wall between them or Squidward in the salmon suit or Mr. Krabs saying he’s seen this before. Also, I frequently quote, “you had to kill him. The boy cries you a sweater of tears and you kill him.” Haha!

13) F.U.N.
Spongebob decides the reason Plankton is so evil is because he doesn’t have a friend. So he decides to teach him the value of friendship and fun.
Very iconic episode because of the song. Need I say anything more than “the Fun Song”? “F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me, N is for anywhere and any time at all down here in the deep blue sea.” 

12) The Nasty Patty
Mr. Krabs and Spongebob believe the health inspector in the Krusty Krab is an imposter so they serve him a “nasty patty.” But when it appears to kill him, they scramble to cover up their crime.
Such a dark episode! Here’s an example of why I don’t think this show is really for kids. If you commit a crime, just cover it up! Ha! But I love how stupid the whole situation is in the first place. Killing the health inspector lol. And then all the close calls.

11) Arrgh!
Mr. Krabs takes Spongebob and Patrick on a psychotic treasure hunt.
There’s many, many episodes where Mr. Krabs’s money obsession gets a bit out of hand and this is one of them. It’s also funny how naive Spongebob and Patrick are.

10) Wet Painters
Mr. Krabs recruits Spongebob and Patrick to paint his house, but things go awry when they get paint on Mr. Krab’s number one dollar.
So many moments! The first part of the episode is Spongebob and Patrick trying not to get paint on anything and the second part is them trying to get the paint off the dollar bill. “Spongebob, we’re not cavemen. *points to computer* We have technology. *smashes computer on dollarbill*”

9) Squid’s Day Off
When Squidward is made manager for the day, he puts Spongebob in charge so he can take the day off. However, he becomes increasingly obsessed with the idea that Spongebob will mess up and cannot bring himself to relax.
I love this one because of how completely insane Squidward goes while trying to relax. It’s very counter-productive. Haha! 

8) Pizza Delivery
Mr. Krabs sends Spongebob and Squidward to delivery a special Krusty Krab pizza only for them to get stranded in the middle of nowhere. But Spongebob is determined to deliver the pizza no matter what.
Classic episode! “It’s not just a boulder, it’s a rock!” All the things the pioneers did. Haha! Or Spongebob’s singing about the pizza. Or what about “where’s my drink?”

7) Clam
After earning his one millionth dollar, Mr. Krabs takes Spongebob and Squidward on a clam fishing trip. However, he loses his millionth dollar to a giant man-eating clam and he will do ANYTHING to get it back.
This one cracks me up again because of how insane Mr. Krabs goes for the one dollar. It’s even funnier this time because Spongebob and Squidward are there to witness it (and become victim to it). It’s also a rare moment because Spongebob is actually aware of the madness around him and is freaking out rather than laughing and going along with it. I also love the fourth wall break with the orchestra playing the clam’s theme.

6) Krusty Krab Training Video
A training video style episode showing future employees what to do and what not to do while working at the Krusty Krab.
So dumb, but awesome! The jazzy theme music, the narrator, “don’t be a Squidward”, P.O.O.P., the super long reveal of the Krabby Patty at the end, and then never actually revealing the Krabby Patty’s secret formula. I’ve seen real companies homaging this episode as a way to train their own employees for their company. Haha!

5) Graveyard Shift
The Krusty Krab is now open 24 hours a day. Bored, Squidward makes up a scary story about a ghostly fry cook, the Hash-Slinging Slasher, in order to scare Spongebob. However, the later they stay, the more it looks like the Hash-Slinging Slasher might actually be real.
I relate to this one so hard because I always had the night shift at Jimmy Johns. But I love it so much because of the set up with the Hash-Slinging Slasher. And it’s got great quotes! “I used your clarinet to unclog my toilet!”, “The walls will ooze green slime!!! ...oh wait, they always do that.”, “AAHHH! I burned my hand! ...At night.”

4) Just One Bite
After finding out Squidward has never had a Krabby Patty before, Spongebob forces him to try it, convinced no one can resists its flavor. Squidward pretends to hate it, but secretly craves more. 
Once again, a character slowly going insane over something. The length Squidward goes to in order to get another patty, but keep it hidden from Spongebob is hilarious. Also the visuals of his cravings just emphasize it more. The ending is the real pay off. “Squidward, you can’t eat all those patties!” “What’s going to happen? Am I going to blow up?” “No worse! It’ll go straight to your thighs!”

3) Something Smells
Spongebob’s breath stinks so bad, people are running away, crying, and passing out. He believes it is because he is ugly.
I cannot with this episode. “Excuse me sir, I hope my horrible ugliness doesn’t offend you.”, “I’ve caught the UGLY!”, “I’m ugly and I’m proud!”, -“How long have I been ugly?” -“As long as I can remember.” Or what about Patrick’s story abut the ugly barnacle? Haha! I also love all the different reactions to the smell; the passing out, running away, screaming, crying, etc. 

2) Band Geeks
Squidward’s snobbish arch rival, Squilliam, asks Squidward for his band to play at the Bubble Bowl. Afraid of being judged by Squilliam, Squidward scrounges up a “band” and tries to teach them to play before the Bubble Bowl.
I’m probably being sacrilegious to the Spongebob fandom somehow for this episode not being my number one. However, I still LOVE it! There’s definitely a reason it’s everyone’s favorite and one of the most famous ones. “Is mayonnaise an instrument?” And that ending though! Iconic!

1) Chocolate With Nuts
Spongebob and Patrick decide to become traveling chocolate bar salesmen in an effort to become entrepreneurs. 
There are no words to describe this episode. I love all the colorful characters Spongebob and Patrick meet on their little escapade (ex: the old woman and her mother, the salesman, the man with paper skin and glass bones). And then there’s actually a couple plot twists that are hilarious. And let us not forget “Chocolate? Chocolate! CHOCOLAAAATTTEEEEE!!!!!!!!”


Honorable Mentions:
Artist Unknown
Squidward becomes an art teacher, but his only student is Spongebob. He refuses to acknowledge Spongebob’s masterpieces and exceptional talent, eventually breaking his spirit. But then an art collector offers to buy Spongebob’s art and Squidward realizes he needs Spongebob after all.

Bubblestand
Spongebob sets up a stand, selling the opportunity to blow bubbles for 25 cents (and lessons for another 25 cents).

Camping Episode
Squidward gets roped into Spongebob and Patrick’s backyard camping experience (featuring the famous Campfire Song Song).

Idiot Box
Spongebob and Patrick get a giant cardboard box to play imagination in which Squidward scoffs at. However, he becomes more intrigued with it as he hears intense and amazing sound effects coming from the box.

No Weenies Allowed
Spongebob tries to get into an exclusive club where only hard core tough guys are allowed.

Rock Bottom
Spongebob accidentally gets on the wrong bus that takes him to a strange town far from Bikini Bottom called Rock Bottom. He struggles to get on a bus back home, but might be stuck forever in the strange place.
(This episode literally haunted me as a kid. This is one of my worst nightmares.)

Sailor Mouth
After reading a strange word on the side of a dumpster, Spongebob and Patrick begin using it, believing it is a “sentence enhancer.” However, they soon realize it is a bad word and Mr. Krabs forbids them to use it ever again (along with the rest of the 13 bad words).

Sandy’s Rocket
Sandy builds a rocket so she can go to the moon. However, Spongebob and Patrick accidentally blast off instead, but miss the moon completely and land back in Bikini Bottom. They then venture about, believing their hometown in an alien world.

Secret Box
Spongebob becomes obsessed with what is inside Patrick’s secret box.

Suds
Spongebob contracts a sickness called the Suds (where every time he sneezes, he leaks bubbles). Spongebob is about to go to the doctor, but is scared out of the idea by Patrick who instead tries to cure him on his own.

Rom-Coms I've Never Seen (part 2)

A while ago, I was watching a bunch of romantic comedies I had never seen before. I made a list and reviewed each of them (see the post HERE). Lately, I’ve been watching some more and thought I should write some more reviews since I’m building up quite a pile. 

Here’s the list in alphabetical order:

Blended
Single mom Lauren and single dad Jim do NOT hit it off on a blind date and swear to never see each other again. However, unbeknownst to each other, they end up purchasing one half of the same vacation to Africa. They and their children are forced to share in a blended family experience.
I’ll admit, I’ve watched this one a couple times already, but I didn’t get a chance to put it on my last list. I was kind of surprised by how much I liked this one. I’ve liked the other Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandlar films, so I guess I shouldn’t have been (they have great chemistry). There’s a very natural progression in their romance here and it feels so sweet and authentic. You can actually feel them falling for each other. That’s what I love most about this film. I love the relationships between the parents and kids too. You can see all the kids’s personalities, how they are with their parents, and what they need in their life (aka a mother or father figure). 
Yes, there are some weird moments and a couple raunchy jokes, but nothing too crazy. There’s some pretty funny lines that, I think with a few more viewings, could become pretty quotable. 9/10.

Geek Charming
Dylan Schoenfield and Josh Rosen are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to popularity. Their worlds collide when Josh decides to do his film project on Dylan’s life as an inside look on popularity, and Dylan sees it as a great opportunity to boost her Blossom Queen campaign. However, can they tolerate each other long enough to finish the film?
This one is a Disney Channel Original Movie... and one outside of my generation. Now, the thing about DCOMs is that... a lot of them really suck; the acting is terrible, the plot is convoluted and not at all thought-out, the characters are unlikable, the morals are shoved in your face, and everything is WAY over the top and SUPER cheesy. So, most are either really boring and lame or just flat-out awful. (Obviously, there are a few exceptions. Some are total classics!)
This one... is an exception. I actually really enjoyed it. Yes, it was still pretty cheesy and had that Disney feel to it, but it kind of felt like a real “grown up” sort of rom-com. It had all the classic tropes-- the polar opposite personalities, the hating each other at the beginning, etc. It also wasn’t afraid of portraying real emotional problems (and the acting was actually pretty good). I thought it was sweet and fun. Plus, apparently the two lead actors were dating in real life which would explain their excellent chemistry. 8/10

Life As We Know It
The only thing Holly and Messer have in common is their dislike of one another and their love for their god-daughter, Sophie. When tragedy strikes and they suddenly find themselves as the caretakers for Sophie, they must put aside their differences for the sake of the baby.
This one was interesting. It had such an outrageous situation: first, both the parents died, and second... why were two people who weren’t married or co-habitating given guardianship over their baby in the will? The movie tried explaining the reasoning (several times), but it still seemed a little silly to me. Also, third, why wouldn’t the parents ask them permission before putting it in their will? “Hey, in the case we should both die, would you mind looking after our child?” Kind of a conversation you might want to have so it’s not sprung on them!
Anyways, my suspension of disbelief out of the way... I thought it was sort of cute. I was glad it established a love and relationship with the baby before they became guardians so we could see how much they already cared about her. I was pretty invested in Holly and Messer’s relationship too. They weren’t constantly bickering over stupid things (which can get annoying in these types of movies) and only fought over serious stuff. It was nice to watch their growing friendship as they bonded over raising a child. 
It also wasn’t too afraid of shying away from some heavy emotional stuff. Granted, it could’ve gone further, but since it was a romantic comedy and not drama, I’ll let it slide. 
There was some random weird stuff, the most obvious being the child services worker who... I don’t even know. She just felt super out of place and had all these weird comments and rules. Like, she didn’t want Holly and Messer to get into a relationship? Why? Wouldn’t that be better for the baby to have her “parents” together?
Well, there was a lot in this movie that didn’t make sense, but the overall feel of the movie was good and I was pretty invested in it. 7/10.

Set It Up
Harper works for a high profile sports journal editor. Charlie works for a major venture capitalist. Both assistants are majorly over-worked and under-appreciated. By happenstance, they meet each other and devise a plan to get their bosses to fall in love so that they might get some time off. 
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this film since it was a Netflix original. I will say, it was pretty enjoyable. It probably could’ve gone way more ridiculous, like gotten more comedic with its situations. The two assistants are completely running their bosses lives so they convolute it to make them fall in love. That’s a set up for some great comedy. There are a couple moments in the beginning that are good (the baseball scene in particular was pretty funny). However, most of the film relies on the two assistants messaging back and forth desperately telling each other about how to woo each other’s bosses. I guess the comedy is in the close calls and manipulation?
Anyways, I did like it. I was kind of hoping for something more interesting between the bosses, but it was fine. The relationship between the assistants was what was really interesting (which, I guess, is as it should be). They were a lot of fun and had lots of sweet moments. The progression of their relationship didn’t feel rushed at all and I appreciate that they didn’t randomly kiss or “hook up” and then regret it in the middle of the movie as lots of rom-coms do. I’m glad they let the suspense and tension grow between them until the end. The two actors also had great chemistry. I was totally rooting for them. 8/10.

Warm Bodies
In an apocalyptic world where a plague has tarnished most of the human race, turning them into zombies, one zombie named R saves a living girl from his fellow zombie brothers. Instead of eating her, R protects her and helps her return home. As they embark on their journey, a bond forms between them and R re-learns what it’s like to be human.
I had heard good things about this movie for years, but never bothered to look into it. I think it sort of reminded me of Twilight and I just had no interest in anything like that. (I also think for a while, I even thought it was vampires and not zombies.) What eventually changed my mind was watching the trailer and I realized it wasn’t some stupid, mushy teen drama love story. It actually looked like a compelling story about what it meant to be human and to love... and that’s exactly what it is.
I actually REALLY liked this movie. It was clever and interesting how most of the perspective was from a zombie’s point of view (which you really don’t ever see in zombie flicks). Most of the comedy came from that. R’s inner dialogue is hilarious! 
It might’ve been a little cheesy at the end with its message, but overall it was really well done. The Romeo and Juliet parallels can either be annoying or funny. I personally found them funny. My one major criticism is that some of the special effects were pretty subpar. They were like something you'd expect to see in a TV movie which is unfortunate for something with such a good story and characters. Overall, though, it was all great! 9/10.

My Baby Girl

Today, a precious angel was taken from us.
Macy has been a member of our family for ten+ years. I remember my mom and dad surprising us with her all those years ago. We knew we were getting another puppy, but we thought she was coming in three weeks. Then, one day, we went over to our friends, the Dicksons' house and lo and behold, there she was, the cutest darn fur baby you ever did see!

I also remember debating over what to name her for what seemed like hours. We were all sitting on the floor in a circle as she gradually moved from lap to lap and fell asleep, sometimes she couldn't even muster up the energy to reach the next lap and would just fall asleep on the floor halfway there (she wasn't much of a player). It took us FOREVER to agree on a name, but eventually we decided on Macy.

Not much changed in her personality from that night. Really, all she would do was sleep. I remember taking her into the backyard and she could hardly make it a few feet before collapsing and falling asleep on the grass. She was super shy and you had to work hard to earn her trust. She wasn't an aggressive dog though, just very timid. She didn't like anyone getting in her personal space without a significant amount of trust. She wanted to get to know people, you could always see it in her eyes, but she was just scared to.
I'll tell you, the one person she absolutely LOVED AND ADORED was Chase, our other dog. She followed him everywhere! She was always climbing all over him, cuddling with him, and mimicking his every move (which was unfortunate because he had a couple bad habits like escaping the yard).

Speaking of escaping the yard, there was one time when Macy was still fairly young that the two of them got out during a rainstorm. All of us went out and searched for them forever! Eventually, we found Chase, but there was no sign of Macy. We were all a little panic-y because she was still a puppy and also (like I said) timid. Mom drove the car around while us kids rode our bikes through the rain. There's this huge hill that leads down to a back road which separates our neighborhood from the highway. I thought I could ride down there and check, but then I was concerned about riding back up the hill afterwards and I didn't think there was any way she could've got out that far. However, I decided I might as well check, so I rode all the way out there.

As I was riding along the back road, something caught my eye: some movement in the cow pasture. I stopped and looked. Sure enough, it was baby Macy bounding towards the highway. I stopped and called to her. I couldn't go to her because of the barbed wire fence, so I just kept calling. Eventually, she stopped and came back. She was so happy to see me, shivering under my coat, probably from cold and fear (and maybe some happiness). I called my mom and she came and drove her home.

After Chase died, Macy was heartbroken. And while she had never been the most energetic and playful dog before, she definitely sobered up even more once he was gone. She got stuck with dumbhead Troy, our third Weimaraner; her complete opposite in every way. He always wanted to play, run, and cuddle with people-- everything Macy did not want to do. While she definitely liked him (most of the time), she definitely was not as close to him as she was with Chase.

I have many fond memories of this girl and her funny, subdued personality. I always described her as a cat disguised as a dog who moved like a horse. She liked to be touched, but only in certain spots and at certain times, she slept like 20 hours of the day, she didn't like to cuddle, she slept in strange places and positions, and you had to work for her trust... like a cat. She also galloped just like a horse when she ran; it was the funniest thing to watch. She was the clumsiest thing ever. If she ever actually tried to do dog-like things, it was like watching a horse try to do those things (like cuddle, play, etc.) She just was not good at it.

Troy is a natural at all those things. He is 100% pure dog. Whenever we would play with him, every once in a while, Macy would try to get in on the action, but would only get in the way because she was too slow and/or just didn't know what was going on. We nick-named her the "fun buster." We usually let her join in because it was so rare that she would try unless the sole purpose of this fun was to burn off some of Troy's energy and she was just getting run over.
My favorite memories of Macy is just hanging out with her in my room. She became my buddy when I got older. During the couple years when I came home from college and was just working at Togo's, I hung out in my room a lot, on my computer and what-not. Macy decided she liked hanging out in there with me. She didn't love being on my bed because of personal space, so she'd chill on the floor. Eventually, we put her very own cushion in there for her because she was in there so much. She also liked sleeping under my bed. Sometimes, I would come in and sit on my bed and I would be there for like an hour and then all of a sudden, there would be movement from under the bed. It would totally freak me out because she would be so quiet, I had no idea she was there.

Because I became her buddy, she definitely trusted me a lot. I think we both had very similar personalities at the core. She always let me invade her personal space no matter what. She would let me do whatever-- put my face right in hers, lay on top of her, touch her paws (she hated that), kiss her nose, etc.

Now, for some funny/memorable things about her:

  • The Flop: whenever you walked towards her, she would flop on her back, meaning she wanted you to rub her tummy
  • Droopy face
  • The white spot on her chest
  • Getting excited over ice
  • Lip smacking
  • Whimpering and twitching while she dreamed
  • Sleeping in weird/uncomfortable positions
  • Her big, fat, lumpy tummy
  • Stealing Troy's bone even though she already had her own
  • Her groans as she adjusted herself
  • The mighty squirrel-catcher
  • Her dainty poses
  • Her doggy smile
  • Us saying "Macy! Macy!" like Nefreteri from The Ten Commandments
  • Her terrible hot breath whenever she panted
  • Eating Troy's food because he was too distracted
  • Not caring at all about Troy (or at least pretending not to)
  • Being such a good girl at the vet-- everyone knew and loved her there
  • Being the most pathetic creature in the world whenever she got medical work done
  • Never complaining about her pain (from her ears, her lumps, her hips, etc.). She just dealt with it like a trooper
  • Acting like she's asleep or not caring when really she's calculating and planning to steal food, Troy's bone, or something
  • Her deep, manly bark (especially compared to Troy's high-pitched, baby bark)
  • Her little trot
  • How she was always happy no matter what even if she was sleepy, timid, and droopy
I am going to miss her so much! (I was crying a lot while writing this.) She was such a good girl even if she wasn't your typical dog. But that's what made her special. I love you so much, Macy! Go have fun with Chase and Mika without all your ailments. <3 p="">

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

Jim Hawkins- Treasure Planet

Tarzan- Tarzan

Nick Wilde- Zootopia

Naveen- The Princess and the Frog

Wilbur Robinson- Meet the Robinsons

Danny- Cats Don’t Dance
