The Best Disney Sidekick Characters of All Time

What would heroes be without their sidekicks? Disney movies have a lot of classic sidekick buddy pairings.

Here are some of the best…

The Magic Carpet, ‘Aladdin’

Buena Vista Pictures

The magic carpet is the ultimate wingman. Think about it. Would “A Whole New World” and the magic moments shared between Jasmine and Aladdin exist without the carpet? No. No they would not.

Wilbur, ‘The Rescuers Down Under’

Buena Vista Pictures

Speaking of wingmen, Wilbur is a literal wingman. Without his wings, the rescuers would have never made it down under. If they’d never made it down under, they never would have been the rescuers. Then what would they have called the movie? Would there have been a movie at all?

Archimedes, ‘The Sword in the Stone’

Buena Vista Distribution

No one does lovable curmudgeon quite like Archimedes. This cranky owl is the straight man to wacky wizard Merlin. His skepticism comes out with classic lines like, “Man’ll fly all right…like a rock.” Even though he was wrong on that one, he provides a lot of owly wisdom otherwise.

Chip, ‘Beauty and the Beast’

Buena Vista Pictures

Sweet, adorable Chip is one of Belle’s first welcomers to the castle. His childlike wonder and exuberance are a splash of color both for Belle and the other characters trapped under the castle’s curse. He’s a spot of joy. When the chips are down, Chip is up.
