I liked how they redeemed Isabela, making her have more depth than she initially appeared, plus her elation over no longer having to be the perfect "Golden Child."

[@BG-be8di]

Yeah, when happen the song What else I can do?, all of us realized that Isabella was much more than a golden girl, that was just an appearance, I loved seeing how she gets rid of that and in the end, finally she is herself

The tale of the Beast's redemption is absolutely beautiful. He and Belle develope so much chemistry over the course of the movie, and thanks to her, breaks the curse just in time to dave his life. Sometimes, love conquerors all.

And this is why beauty and the beast is my most favourite Disney film

[@draco4569]

"dave" his life? Typos are silly!

[@IndriidaeNT]

Imagine a future film in the Zooptoia franchise, Tails from Zooptoia or sometjing else giving Bellwether a tragic backstory behind why she became a villain and hated predators to begin with it maybe had to do with her being bullied by predators in her childhood for her species and for having dwarfism and a shy disorder. Bellwether is just a vengeful and embittered kind of villain.

I love that Jumbaa has become a sort of Uncle Figure to Lilo and, from what I remember, does care for her, Nani, Stitch, and Pleakly, even if he’s not always open to showing it. Also, I like to imagine that, after her redemption, Anastasia loves to visit and check up on Cinderella when both have free time.

[@vincentfichtler7758]

And sometimes Jumba serves as the Voice of Reason to Lilo and Stitch.

[@Rosegirl398]

Maybe Anastasia became her lady royal / lady in waiting or maybe a special title so that she can visit anytime she wants. That’s something I’d see Cinderella doing

[@kristashafer93098]

Loved the redemption arc they gave Lightning McQueen! He could have won the race, but instead he helped a fellow car who was about to retire finish his final race. It was a touching moment.

[@IndriidaeNT]

Lighting McQueen's redeemption arc is great and so is Nick Wilde's in Zooptoia (2016). Though Nick was honestly less of a jerk than Lightning originally was.

[@IndriidaeNT]

Best Examples of Disney and Pixar redemption arcs: Amos Shale and Copper and Chief’s in The Fox and the Hound and Dixie and Cash’s in The Fox and the Hound 2. Mowgli (Despite being more of a misbehaving child in a worse condition than Pinocchio than anti-hero.) and Bagheera and King Louie offscreen in The Jungle Book. Rabbit in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, also good as gold, same for Pete’s and Donald Duck’s in the Mickey Mouse franchise. Beast/Prince Adam and Fife in Beauty and the Beast, good as gold. Wreck-It-Ralph and Princess Vanellope and Sergeant Calhoun (Wreck-It-Ralph franchise depending on your point of view.) Princess Atta in A Bug’s Life and Mike, Sulley and Tylor in the Monsters’ Inc. franchise, also good as gold. Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson and Mirage in Cars and The Incredibles are also good as gold. Marlin and King Triton’s in Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid, also good as gold. Flynn Rider in Tangled, also good as gold. Jasper and Horce’s in 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure. Maui in Moana, also good as gold. Hiro in Big Hero 6 is also good as gold. Joy in Inside Out is also good as gold. Nick Wilde, Chief Bogo and Judy Hopps in Zootopia are also good as gold. Gabby Gabby’s in Toy Story 4, and Ken’s in Toy Story 3 depending on your point of view. The anti-heroes of Raya and the Last Dragon, Hector, Miguel Isabella and Miguel’s family and matriarch in Coco and Enchanto, am I leaving any important ones out?

[@IndriidaeNT]

Oh and who can forget the hyenas like Janja and jackals like Rerei and Dogo and Konvo and Timon in The Lion King franchise?

[@McQueenStan]

And that’s why I love him

[@BG-be8di]

GREAT TOP! I like how Disney redeemed these characters throughout their movie or in sequels gave them another chance: Isabella Madrigal (I loved seeing how she gets rid of her appearance of golden girl, from there is one of my favs characters), Anastasia (I loved his redemption in Cinderella III, she just wanted someone to love her for being herself, she amends things and even when she said she didn't deserve it, the king told her that everyone deserves true love), Iago (He wasn't that bad, in the sequel he only followed Jafar's orders for fear, but later he released them and even sacrificed himself to defeat him) , Tinker Bell, Eugene, Dr. Jumba (Even in the sequel, I loved how he tried to save Stitch by building that machine). and Gabby Gabby (although at first she seemed a villain, in reality she only wanted the love of a child and she got it in the end)

[@IndriidaeNT]

Watch Mojo should make one for Universal Pictures animated characters same for 20th Century Fox animated characters and include Shrek and Puss in Boots from the Shrek franchise, Alex from Madagascar (2005), (And maybe also Marty, Melman and Gloria because they can have their flaws too.), Manny, Diego, Peaches and Ethan from the Ice Age franchise and Jewel, Eduardo and Roberto from the Rio franchise, Sour Kangaroo and the WhoVille Council from Horton Hears a Who! (2008), Branch from the Trolls franchise and RJ from Over the Hedge (2006) and Rocket from Chicken Run (2000) and the two con artists from The Road to El Dorado (2000) and Zhen from Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024), Dru and Megamind and The Bad Guys from Descipable Me (2010), the 2010 film with the same name same for 2022 film and Porsha Crystal, Judith, Suki Lane and Mike from the Sing franchise.

[@IndriidaeNT]

Disney and Pixar twist villains done right: King Candy/Turbo in Wreck-It-Ralph Henry J. Waternoose in Monsters’ Inc. (Best example) Stinky Pete the Prospector in Toy Story 2 Lotso-Huggin Bear in Toy Story 3 Auto in Wall-E Charles Muntz in Up Ernesto De La Cruz in Coco Stromboli and Honest John and Gideon the Cat in Pinocchio Mr. Winky in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad Clayton in Tarzan Yokai in Big Hero 6 Disney and Pixar twist villains done wrong: Miles Axlerod in Cars 2 (Another worse example) Bellwether and Doug in Zootopia (Worst example) Prince Hans in Frozen Namaari in Raya and the Last Dragon Evelyn Deavor in The Incredibles 2 Twist villains done right in non-Disney and Pixar movies: Chester V in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (Best example) and Mayor Shelborune in the first Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie, depending on your point of view Uncle Aaron/The Prowler in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and his redemption is also done right Jimmy Crystal in Sing 2 and Professor Marmable in The Bad Guys Titan in Megamind Zhen in Kung Fu Panda 4 (A non-villain example and her redemption is also done right.) Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home Ego the Living Planet in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Bad examples of twist villains in non-Pixar and Disney movies: Guy Gene in Turbo and Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

[@geviesanta3631]

I absolutely loved Lilo and Stitch when I was a little kid watching this Disney movie. Its also very nice to see how Jumba's redemption arc was placed out of Stitch's persuasion to save Lilo. ☺️❤

Gallus, Smolder, Branch (Trolls), Garble, Starlight, Tempest Shadow, Ember, Queen Novo, Trixie, (Green Eggs and Ham), Once-Ler and his family and Shrek, Lord Farquaad, Captain Gutt, and Manny outside of Continental Drift and Collision Course and Mike Wasakoki and Maui and Flynn all good examples of jerks with hearts of gold and anti-heroes.

[@PixarShark]

I love how much you see Jumba’s empathy emerge when he sees just how scared and desperate Nani is. Even just the way Pleakley is trying to play by the rules and Jumba kinda pushes him aside to show a little more compassion. It’s such a switch. Makes me wonder if he had/has a sister himself. 😭

[@IndriidaeNT]

Why not include Nick Wilde, I guess he is not a true anti-hero right?

[@n19ntendods]

Flynn Rider, Kuzco, and Lightning McQueen are my favourite jerks who got redeemed! Major props to their actors, too; Zachary Levi, David Spade, and Owen Wilson! You guys and legends! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@oddgirl2813]

At first I disliked Isabela cause she was “the golden child”, but at the end I could relate to her a lot more than I realized.

[@DekaNovelist]

Flynn's character development is really good. He went from a selfish jerk to a man who slowly cares about Rapunzel.

[@KittyMcFlame]

How was he selfish exactly?

[@IndriidaeNT]

Nick Wilde and Maui also have good character developments/redeemption arcs in Zooptoia (2016) and Moana (2016) they started off as stubborn selfish pessmistic jerks before becoming selfless and loyal and caring people who care about Judy Hopps and Moana.

[@rynocerator9371]

People love a good redemption story and Disney has plenty of these. My personal fav other than Kuzco’s is Anastasia Tremaine’s. During the events of the two sequels we got to see she’s just like any other person looking for love. She followed her own heart and renounced her past self. No long was she in the shadow of her cold hearted mother.

[@zackrules4797]

I would add Basil from The Great Mouse Detective. He does start off as a bit selfish due to his prickly, arrogant and self-centered ignoring Olivia and Dawson and only thrilled of solving the case that really matters to him, which is why Olivia Flaversham comes to ask for his help and he almost dismisse her immediately. At the thing that causes him to lose sleep is not the idea of other mice being in danger, but the thought of not truimphing in the great mystery that he has tried for so long to solve, and the only reason he actually ends up chossing to help Olivia is because she ends up being connected to this great mystery that he wants to sovle. However, without even realizing it, him teaming up with Dawson and Miss Flaversham is exactly that he needs to overcome his flaws, since the first thing Dawson did is when he meets Olivia in a boot was feeling sorry for what happened to her and offered to help her find her Father because he cared. Which is exactly the kind of thing that Basil is lacking, Basil only starts to notice these flaws that he has due to the fact that those around him don't have the same problems that he has. Such as when after Olivia got captured by Fidget, he sees Dawson feeling sad about it and he comes to realize that perhaps he isn't thinking about this the right way, but even then, he still struggles to focus on her more than Ratigan's plan which almost ends terribly for him. Over the course of his adventure, he comes to appreciate Dawson and Flaversham to the point that in the finale, he actually does care more about saving Olivia then stopping Ratigan. He grows as a person to which is why he wants Dawson to work with him in the future, because he knows that if he goes back to being on his own, he may have lose sight of what is truly important once again and start to become overly obsessed with his Mysterious. But with Dawson by his side, he can prevent him from going astray and keep him on the right path and together, they can become an Unstoppable Duo.

I knew right from the start that number one was gonna be either the beast or kuzco. I’m also glad that Kenai at least made it to the honorable mentions; aside from learning that bears are not the heartless creatures Kenai believed they were, but he also learns why love is a precious totem to have. Also it’s a nice detail that he starts off as the youngest brother, and then becomes the oldest brother in the end choosing to be there for Koda the same way Sitka was there for him and Denahi.

I was surprised that Beast wasn’t number one and couldn’t figure out who would be number one 😂 Then number one came on and I was like “Oh yeah! That makes sense!”

It’s pretty fitting that Maui stole the Heart of Te Fiti, as he certainly stole all our hearts.

[@darkkey19]

I don't know that I consider Isabella "redeemed". I don't think she was all that bad to begin with; she just appeared that way to Mirabell's perspective. I always saw it as Mirabell finally realizing there was a lot more to her sister than she'd always assumed. And Ralph (at least in the first movie) was just looking for a little respect from the people in his game.

[@caitlinsparkle7717]

I agree.

[@lilac3266]

the entire movie is from mirabels perspective and it’s obvious from the beginning isabela and mirabels strained relationship was mutual

[@darkkey19]

@@lilac3266 That seemed like a pretty normal sibling relationship. But that's my point, Isabella wasn't really the one who changed all that much. All she really did was loosen her restraints a little. Mirabel was the one that recognized that she'd never really understood her sister. That's way bigger.

[@lilac3266]

@@darkkey19 well they both misunderstood each other. Mirabel thought her sisters life was perfect with no problems but isabela was secretly unhappy and isabela realized that her sister never had bad intentions she just wanted to help out

[@QuertyQw33n]

OK, so the beast may have been a bit of a jerk, but first of all, as kids, we were told not to open the door for strangers. That's literally what got him cursed. He was an 11-year-old kid that didn't open the door to a for boating woman. Second of all, where does the enchantress get off cursing, not only the prince, who is a child, but people, including a little kid and a puppy that had nothing to do with it?

[@ellynmacgregor8210]

Here are some possible reasons: 1) In the absence of the Prince's parents, his servants had sole charge of him. Thus they could have occasionally said "No" when he misbehaved...but apparently they didn't. 2) As they had to take care of the Beast, humans might have been tempted to lock him up like a zoo animal. As household objects, they could *only* function as servants, with no power over the Beast. 3) In his beastly form, the Prince would (and did) continue to grow and age. On the other hand, the servants, as utensils and as furniture, were immune to aging, which helps explain why it was that Chip looked and acted about eight years old when he was restored to human form, even though the spell lasted about ten years. (No, Mrs. Potts did not give birth to him while she was a teapot, lol) Therefore, when the spell was broken, the servants had not lost any years of their human lives and could just pick up where they left off. Mind you, the above reasons are all speculation on my part, but I've had a lot of time to think them out, since the time I first saw *BatB*: in November 1991, upon its original theatrical release. I've seen it about a dozen times since then and it is still probably my favorite pre-Pixar Disney. Only *Frozen* and *Frozen 2* have come close to toppling *Beast* from its throne in my heart.

[@arbytv5139]

How can fame go to his headlights when he doesn’t have any? They are just stickers. As Lightning McQueen himself said it best in the film, “racecars don’t need headlights, because the track is always lit“

[@pepito2847]

Okay first off Isabella wasn’t a jerk, she was just a tad bit sassy towards Mirabel, sisters are like that and Mirabel wasn’t the nicest to Isabella either Abuela is the one who should be on the list since her putting pressure on her family is what cause the miracle to fade

No she was a jerk

she was a jerk to mirabel and mirabel was a jerk back. The feelings were entirely mutual but the movie is from mirabels perspective so until she has that realization that her sister has also been struggling the audience share the same views as her

[@kathrynhill5796]

Max Goof is a good example as well because he had a toxic, one-sided relationship with his father in the sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie. Throughout most of the film, he was a selfish and arrogant young man who foolishly believed that going to college meant that he didn’t have to put up with Goofy’s silliness anymore. But it isn’t until the climax of the film where he has a change of heart towards his father as he finally learns that just because he’s an adult starting a new life doesn’t necessarily mean that he shouldn’t stay connected with his family. He needs to learn how to understand his father’s perspective in life and that it’s okay to accept his quirks even if he is a little goofy.

[@dreamguardian8320]

They should make a movie of him as an adult and married with kids. He has trouble bonding with his kids and he goes to his dad for help. Just a thought.
