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

[@inukaiser]

she reminds mea lot of Elsa

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

Turns out, she didn't even want to marry Mariano. She was just doing it for the family.

Having at least one redeemable character in movies is a classic trope played out by Disney and Pixar, It never fails.

[@baymaxinarmor4133]

They wouldn't be Disney movies if they didn't have such characters.

Honestly, I didn't even notice about that trope being included in a Disney movie. That's intriguing 🤔

[@user-ix1rp9ff3p]

so the Huntsman started it all???

[@Rae0814]

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.

[@angiereyes7856]

Hamsterwheel is a petty evil version if Jumba didn’t redeemed himself.

[@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

[@DanGamingFan2846]

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.

[@vulpixfairy1985]

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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. ☺️❤

Jumba seems more happier being in the ohana tham he was in his lab being evil.

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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@n19ntendods]

Finally! Somebody else who appreciates just how brilliant Lightning’s arc is. Cars is a very underrated movie and I’m glad you’re giving it the credit it deserves. Seeing McQueen go from a selfish, egotistical asshole to a kind, humble gentleman is so satisfying and believable! KACHOW!!! 🏎️⚡️

[@olvialee7221]

The Return of Jafar might be a bad sequel but Iago’s redemption is the best part in the movie. He did feel guilty for not telling the truth about Jafar’s presence but he came around killing his master. Rest In Peace, Gilbert Gottfried

[@olvialee7221]

That doesn’t surprise me at all. Kuzco is selfish even when he turned into a llama. After knowing the truth from Yzma, he went back to Pacha and change his mind about Kuzcotopia

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.

When the baby is in danger from a looming rat and Lady is unable to help, Tramp puts his freedom in jeopardy to save the baby he previously would have had no regard for. His redemption is rewarded with him being adopted Lady and her family.

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.

I kind of would add Basil from The Great Mouse Detective. He does starts 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 sovle. However, without even realizing it, him teaming up with Dawson and Mrs Flaversham is exactly that he needs to over come 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.

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.

[@rynocerator9371]

Max Goof was a jerk in the goofy movies particularly the sequel. He should’ve been on this list. He just didn’t knew how fortunate to have his father in his life despite his imperfections and wanting to be a part of his life.

You forgot to mention Tyler from "Turning Red." He went from the bully who teased Mei-Mei to a member of her friend squad. Quite a turn-around!

[@gerardgarcia8501]

He got a realization that he’s a jerk to Mei plus character development in mere seconds when Mei tackled him in the party, unexpected instant redemption

[@thomaslevy2119]

@@gerardgarcia8501 Good point. However, you might think that Tyler would have been deathly afraid of the Panda after that incident, as Sid became afraid of toys in "Toy Story" when Woody told him to, "Play nice."

@@thomaslevy2119 Thank god Ming stopped Mei before Tyler got 100% scarred

[@thomaslevy2119]

@@gerardgarcia8501 I think Tyler's redemption was somewhat forced on him when Mei-Mei noticed him at the concert and they welcomed him into the "sisterhood" even though he was unwilling at first.

@@thomaslevy2119 I thought his redemption was him apologizing to mei and realizing he was a jerk and Mei attacking him with her scratching his cheek was his karma(still too much though)

This is what I'd do if I stole the Zodiac Stone from the Vicious 6. Me: So I guess you guys have everything under control, right? Belle Bottom: Yes, you get out now. Me: Ok, fine! But even if you needed my help, I wouldn't be able to help you anyway. Belle Bottom: Why not? Because you're a tubby, little punk? Me: No, it's because...5:05 Belle Bottom: What? (Looks at where the Zodiac Stone's holding place, notices it's gone and GASPS) He took the stone.

So obvious but you can’t help but see who made the list

[@haydendegrow945]

I always wanted to know... If the Enchantress from Beauty and the Beast punished the Beast that harshly for being unloving... What did she REWARD those who showed her caring and compassion? Like, did she shower them with gifts or just leave them be? Head-scratcher for sure...🤨

I was expecting to see Grumpy from Snow White on the list too

- Eugene Fitzerbert / Flynn Rider (Disney's Tangled)

[@ShadowSora8491]

I'm so glad to see Emperor Cuzco at Number 1. While he starts out as such an entitled and ruthless snob, he was still entertaining, and ends up becoming quite a likeable character, in the end.

[@fennynickie5731]

You were right to pick kuzco as number one

[@gogakushayemi]

Love Flynn sooo much. Not sure if I want to be him or I want to marry him. I am a tomboy so my love for Tinkerbell always shocks me. I even own half her movies in Italian. Random and weird, I know. Also, I really need to watch Brother Beat and Emperor's Ne Groove.

Eugene deserves to be higher. In the top 3. Along with Maui and Beast.

The kindest thing that Lightning McQueen did was during the final race in California instead of winning the piston cup for himself he gave it up and he kindly pushed the king to the finish line

[@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“

i hope veteran cat from bolt will be redeemed too
