Disney movies have given audiences some truly unforgettable and lovable characters over the
years. And while these characters are usually family-friendly, inspiring, and funny, fans
have seen some bizarre ones as well that weren’t liked as much. So let’s take a look at our ten
picks for Disney characters ranked weird to weirdest.
To kick off our list, we have The March Hare from Alice in Wonderland.
‘Alice in Wonderland’ is a Disney classic, showcasing the fascinating land where Alice
magically ends up. However, it’s hard to ignore a few annoying residents in Wonderland whose
behavior simply made no sense. For instance, The March Hare. This wacky, mallet-carrying rabbit
is Mad Hatter’s best pal, with whom he regularly drinks tea and engages in “unbirthday parties.”
Although they are close and both insane, March Hare seems to be much more rude, loud and overly
energetic than the Hatter. Throughout the movie, the March Hare is shown to have little patience
towards Alice. He either ignores her or completely dismisses her presence in Wonderland. When she
tries to tell how she ended up in Wonderland, the obnoxious rabbit continuously cuts her off
and even makes scornful comments towards her. Not to mention his habit of starting his sentences
with an elongated “Ah!” and unnecessarily saying “Nothing, whatever!” in every conversation.
Following this list are Si and Am from Lady and the Tramp.
Si and Am are identical, seal-point Siamese cats from Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp”.
This mischievous pair takes full advantage of Aunt Sarah’s love to cause trouble
and make messes for their own enjoyment. They’re sneaky and creepy to the point of being evil.
In one scene, it’s frightening to watch them near a baby.
Another weird Disney character is Sebastian from The Little Mermaid.
This red, Jamaican-accented crab made appearances in the ‘Little Mermaid’ film series and even TV
programs and video games. Sebastian is not only a major character in the plot but also serves
an all-important role of King Triton’s advisor. He is also a distinguished court composer and
songwriter. That said, he’s asked to leave this esteemed position for babysitting duty. So,
he is regularly seen watching over Triton’s youngest daughter, Princess Ariel. But perhaps
what’s most absurd about this character is his name. As per the Disney Princess website,
the crab’s full name is ‘Horatio Felonious Ignacius Crustaceous Sebastian. This means
that ‘Sebastian’ is his surname. Of course, the five-named crab should’ve been called Horatio. The
fact that his full name has ‘Crustaceous’ in it is simply weird since he’s a crab. Also, how could
Ariel trust him if he didn’t even tell her his proper name? Another thing about Sebastian/Horatio
that bugs the Little Mermaid fandom is his over-involvement in the princess’s personal life.
Also a weird another character, in our opinion, is Mushu from Mulan.
Disney movies feature animal sidekicks that usually offer support and friendship while
bringing humor to the storyline. One such popular character is the fast-talking Chinese dragon,
Mushu, who’s also the self-appointed guardian of Fa Mulan. Although Mushu’s scenes are quite
hilarious, there have been instances where he turned out to be selfish, impulsive,
and overconfident. These traits may not be an issue for kids but for older audience members,
it’s much harder to overlook the problematic aspects of Mushu’s personality. Notice how
he strives to be one of the family guardians again and selfishly comes to Mulan’s aid to
turn her into a war hero. He believes this will get him back on the ‘top shelf.’ This
shows how self-centered he was. Also, when Cri-Kee tries to guide him down the right path, he takes
this as nothing more than pestering and almost always seems reluctant to accept his mistakes.
On the side of weirder characters, we have Tito from Oliver & Company.
With Tito’s character, the Disney film ‘Oliver & Company’ proves that smaller-sized dogs
can be just as fierce as big ones. Besides this 1988 movie, the character has made
appearances in TV programs as well, such as ‘House of Mouse’ and Mickey Mouse. This
proud Chihuahua from Fagin’s gang often gets into unnecessary fights with others,
mainly due to his fiery temper. Forgetting just how small he is, Tito constantly tries
to show himself off, sometimes with his thick Mexican accent and other times during his
attempts at flirting with Georgette. While some Disney fans may consider Tito adorable,
cute, and good-hearted, others can’t help but notice how pushy, temperamental, and overly hyper
he is. It’s weird how this dog simply refuses to leave anyone alone. It’s also annoying to watch
him repeatedly mock others, not to mention his constant urge to prove himself tough and sturdy.
Up next, we are including Wiggins from Pocahontas.
Perhaps one of Disney’s weirdest supporting characters is Wiggins from Pocahontas, best
known as Governor Ratcliffe’s manservant. Simply put, Wiggins is annoyingly foolish and has a
habit of interrupting important conversations and moments with his stupid, irrelevant inventions.
For our runner-up spot, we give that to Sneezy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Like most dwarfs in Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Sneezy’s name reflects his nature.
Due to his severe hay fever, he’s prone to unpredictable and eruptive sneezing
that often prevents him from speaking comfortably. When he talks, it sounds like he’s constantly
suffering a stuffy nose. We hear him frequently sneeze throughout the film. In fact, his sneezes
are of such enormous capacity that they blow away anything and anyone in the dwarf’s path.
Sneezy can usually predict an incoming sneeze and quickly holds his nose while
giving others a warning. Sometimes, however, “you can’t tell, when you gotta, you gotta.”
Due to his violent sneezing, this character has to face a lot of embarrassment daily,
despite his friendly nature. If you re-watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as an adult,
you wouldn’t be able to help but wonder why Sneezy did not get his hay fever checked and find a
solution for his sneezing problem? That sounds way more sensible than being okay with infecting the
six other dwarfs with the same disease. At some point, even the most loyal Disney fans question
Sneezy’s purpose in the movie since his excessive sneezing can get repetitive and annoying to watch.
We’re going back to Wonderland again to mention The Cheshire Cat
Honestly, given the nature of Alice in Wonderland,
I suppose it’s got an unfair advantage on this list… We could probably include a lot
more characters… The Caterpillar, the Doorknob… They’re all bizarre.
But we think the Cheshire Cat is the most memorable and definitely weird.
What his motivation is, is tough to say… But causing trouble seems to be the answer.
He pops up from time to time and weirds Alice out while also having a ton of fun. He’s definitely
strange and we can’t even say that he is unlikable despite being a ball of tricks and destruction.
We also have to mention Rafiki from The Lion King.
We have to give Rafiki credit. He may be weird, but he is also an incredibly wise mentor.
He’s essentially the mystic of the Pridelands. Sort of like a shaman… But at the same time,
gets some pretty limited screen time that leaves him very ambiguous.
Simply put Rafiki’s brand of strangeness is a positive one,
and he’s probably the most endearing and likable weird character on this list.
Getting the top three for being the weirdest Disney character, it’s Madame
Bonfamille from The Aristocats.
Imagine a wealthy, elderly woman living a luxurious life with an enormous fortune she
built for herself. All thanks to her career as a famous opera singer. Now imagine the same woman
handing over her entire life’s fortune to a bunch of cats. Does it make sense?
Well, Madame Bonfamille from ‘The Aristocats’ does just that, proving that she’s a bit too
trusting of others. A polite socialite, Madame is known for her kind nature and generosity. However,
her main downfall becomes apparent when she remains unaware of Edgar’s evil schemes.
She loves her cats more than anything in the world. She considers them the greatest
treasure she could own. Still, someone this rich leaving all her wealth in the hands of four cats
sounds nothing less than silly. Even the biggest cat-lovers and animal enthusiasts would
agree that there must be someone more deserving of Madame Bonfamille’s fortune.
The second most bizarre Disney character that definitely should
be on this list is George Darling from Peter Pan.
George Darling is Mary’s husband and, of course, the father of Wendy,
John, and Michael in Disney’s classic feature film ‘Peter Pan.’ A practical man who abhors
childish stuff, George is always unnecessarily angry towards his kids as he tries to establish
himself as the absolute patriarch of the family. His strict demeanor is no less than problematic
at times, especially when he’s mad at Wendy for maturing. Instead of acting like a sensible father
and understanding that she’s turning into a proper lady, George is frustrated at Wendy, particularly
when she speaks of Peter Pan in a public situation. Another family member who tolerates his
pointless anger is the St. Bernard and family’s nursemaid, Nana. Apparently, Nana shouldn’t act
like a dog in front of George because that ticks him off too. Although this may not be
peculiar for a 1953 movie, George’s character is undoubtedly bizarre when analyzed in today’s era.
And, now, taking the title of weirdest Disney character out there is Darla from Finding Nemo.
While Finding Nemo doesn’t feature a villain in the typical sense, Darla does fill the role of a
character everyone can dislike. All you need to know about this little monstrosity is that the
movie repeatedly uses the musical cue from Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’ to introduce her character.
And rightfully so, since this eight-year-old is no less than a fish serial killer. Every time
her dentist uncle gives her a fish, Darla instantly gets overexcited,
relentlessly shaking the bag until the poor creature dies. On top of that, she feels zero
remorse for her actions, which makes her truly unlikable. Although Darla isn’t a crucial part
of Finding Nemo, she does become the least liked character quite easily during her brief scenes.
