00:00Ooh, grapefruits.
00:01Can't pour starving cookie munchings and crunchings.
00:04Nice apple.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:08And today, we're looking at some of the most annoying,
00:10dislike, or unnecessary players in Disney's movie vault.
00:15You know, if you Martians had parents,
00:17you wouldn't have to kidnap moms to program your nanny bots.
00:21Number 10, Tito, Oliver, and company.
00:24You know those small dogs that look cute from a distance
00:27but won't stop yapping and wind up getting on your nerves?
00:30Tito is the wild card of Fagin's gang in this 1988 film.
00:33Hey, drink a cup or so, man.
00:35You're getting slow, man.
00:36A wisecracking, confrontational pipsqueak,
00:39his mouth tends to run faster than he does.
00:42While he's loyal to the gang and has
00:44plenty of entertaining moments, this dog
00:46is definitely better in small doses.
00:48I can't get this woman off me.
00:50Oh, man, I got to get away from that chick.
00:52There's only so much of his aggressive, argumentative,
00:55crass energy that people can take before it gets irritating.
00:58It doesn't help that the character
01:00can lean into some negative stereotypes
01:02in some viewers' eyes.
01:03Hey, stop hassling me, man.
01:05I only got one more wire, OK?
01:08Number 9, Rey, the princess and the frog.
01:11While on their journey through the bayou,
01:13Tiana and Naveen meet a Cajun firefly named Rey.
01:16While he might not be the brightest bug in the swamp,
01:19he helps our heroes out of a few tight pinches
01:21throughout the adventure.
01:23Oh, well, lookie here.
01:25Oh, girl, I guess you and your boyfriend
01:27got a little carried away, am I right, am I right?
01:30However, Rey doesn't add much to the story.
01:32He could have been taken out of the narrative entirely,
01:35and little would have changed, except we
01:37wouldn't have had to stomach as many stale jokes.
01:39We won't deny that we get misty-eyed over his love
01:42ballad to Evangeline and his tragic demise.
01:45Look how she lights up the sky.
01:50My bad, Evangeline.
01:54However, these moments feel a bit forced in a film
01:57with a lot of supporting characters.
01:58We just don't have the time or the patience
02:01to really care about Rey.
02:02There she is, the sweetest firefly in all creation.
02:08Number 8, King Agnarr, Frozen.
02:11Father doesn't always know best.
02:13Elsa, what have you done?
02:15This is getting out of hand.
02:16If you don't believe us, just look at Elsa and Anna's dad,
02:19King Agnarr.
02:20When Elsa was young and had trouble
02:22controlling her ice powers, Agnarr taught Elsa to hide them,
02:25forcing her to bottle up an important part of herself.
02:28The gloves will help.
02:29See?
02:30Conceal it.
02:31Don't feel it.
02:33Don't let it show.
02:35Worst of all, he allowed the sisters
02:37to be isolated from each other and the outside world.
02:39While he clearly loved his two daughters
02:41and only wanted to protect them, his actions
02:43left them emotionally vulnerable and alone.
02:46Elsa, please, I know you're in there.
02:51People are asking where you've been.
02:54While his death was tragic, it's frustrating to think
02:57about how much heartache could have been avoided if he
02:59hadn't made these decisions.
03:01Number 7, Evelyn Dever, Incredibles 2.
03:04The sinister screen slaver is a mysterious, intimidating
03:07villain who hypnotizes unwitting citizens.
03:10However, the character is just a pawn
03:12for the real mastermind of the scheme, Evelyn Dever.
03:15So you're the screen slaver?
03:18Yes and no.
03:21Let's say I created the character
03:23and pre-recorded the messages.
03:25She blames superheroes for the death of her parents
03:28and vows to have them outlawed for good.
03:30But this twist just feels like a watered-down version
03:34of Syndrome's scheme from the first Incredibles movie.
03:36You, sir, truly are Mr. Incredible.
03:40You know, I was right to idolize you.
03:42I always knew you were tough.
03:43But even without comparing her to Syndrome,
03:46Evelyn is just too generic a villain.
03:48The big reveal doesn't have the impact,
03:50leaving us with a villain we don't
03:51care enough about to love to hate or hate to love.
03:54Why would you count on me?
03:56Because I built you a bike?
03:58Number 6, Victor, Hugo, and Laverne,
04:01The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
04:03This 1996 film is arguably one of Disney's
04:06darkest animated offerings, but many
04:08regard it as a masterpiece.
04:10You stand upon the brink of the abyss.
04:13Yet even now, it is not too late.
04:16However, there's one glaring element
04:18that holds it back, the gargoyles.
04:20This trio of sentient statues act as Quasimodo's guardians
04:24and confidants, but are mostly used as the film's
04:27comic relief.
04:28Man, I thought he'd never leave.
04:30I'll be spitting feathers for a week.
04:32The problem is that their comedy clashes horribly
04:34with the rest of the movie's tone.
04:36Should we really be singing a punny number
04:38about how great a guy Quasimodo is
04:40when Paris is burning down?
04:42A guy like you, she's never known, kid.
04:49A guy like you, a girl does not meet every day.
04:53While it's comforting to know that Quasimodo
04:55had someone looking out for him, it feels jarring.
04:58If they were in any other Disney flick,
05:01we probably wouldn't be so harsh on them.
05:03Number 5, Zini, Dinosaur.
05:06This movie was definitely more of an experiment
05:08in digital effects than a timeless Disney classic.
05:11Many have forgotten Dinosaur entirely,
05:13but it certainly didn't help that it had Zini,
05:16one of history's most tiresome comic relief sidekicks.
05:19What you need is a little help from the love monkey.
05:22Zini is part of the lemur family
05:24that adopts Aladar as a hatchling.
05:26While the rest of the family contributes to the plot
05:28in some way, Zini seems like he has no business being there.
05:33Zini, what are you doing?
05:35I believe you left a wake-up call for the dawn of time.
05:37As an audience, we just get to experience
05:39his groan-worthy zingers and attempts at being a ladies' man.
05:43Wisecracking sidekicks are a gamble when it comes to Disney,
05:46but it's safe to say that Zini got the short end of the stick.
05:49Girls, I'm known as the professor of love.
05:53And school's in session.
05:56Yeah, I still got it.
05:58Number 4, Ben, Treasure Planet.
06:00For the most part, this sci-fi adaptation of Treasure Island
06:03is an underrated spectacle of animation and storytelling.
06:06However, there's one element that stands out
06:09in the worst way, the character Ben.
06:11My name is, uh, Ben.
06:20This zany navigator robot was left
06:22behind on Treasure Planet for three years
06:24without his memory circuit.
06:25He plays a small role, but once you meet him,
06:29you'll be thankful that's all he got.
06:31Oh, pirates!
06:32Don't get me started on pirates!
06:35I don't like them.
06:36Ben constantly screams his line combined
06:38with his obnoxious personality is all but guaranteed
06:41to give us a migraine.
06:43Compared to the rest of the crew, Ben feels very generic.
06:46He's more a distraction from the heart of the story
06:48than a meaningful part of it.
06:50I'm sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be.
06:52I lost my mind.
06:54I've lost my mind.
06:56Number 3, Maggie, Home on the Range.
06:59This one was tough because barely any of this movie's
07:02characters are appealing.
07:03We could probably put the whole cast on the list.
07:06Get off my case, little cocktail wieners.
07:08But Maggie is the character we see
07:10the most in Home on the Range.
07:11Her background as a former show cow
07:13forced to retire on a dairy farm is as
07:16interesting as her story gets.
07:18I'm sort of between homes right now.
07:20I lost my old place thanks to the meanest bunch
07:23of cattle rustlers in the West.
07:25Other than that, Maggie's character arc
07:27is a basic fish-out-of-water story
07:29wrapped in crass, annoying jokes.
07:31She'd be better suited as a sidekick
07:33than the main character.
07:34But the fact that she's the leading lady
07:36means we're stuck with her cow pie of a performance.
07:39Wait a minute.
07:41I got something stuck in my ear.
07:44This one's for me.
07:47Number 2, Milo, Mars Needs Moms.
07:50With a boring story and uncanny character models,
07:53this film was a bit of a motion capture disaster.
07:56But what if it added an unlikable main protagonist?
08:00You're in luck, because Milo is that and then some.
08:03I have to do everything around here.
08:05He's a smug, argumentative little punk
08:07who bickers with his mother when he doesn't get his way.
08:10Worst of all, he feeds his cat broccoli
08:13and angrily says he'd be happier without a mother.
08:16My life would be so much better if I
08:17didn't have a mom at all.
08:18We know kids can be tough.
08:20And Milo has to learn his lesson by the end of the movie.
08:23But his nasty attitude makes him hard to relate to.
08:26We can't even bother to cheer for him
08:28when he goes to rescue his mom.
08:30I love you, Milo.
08:33I know that.
08:35Now.

08:52Number 1, Buck, Klug, Chicken Little.
08:55This infamous 2005 film has its share of unlikable characters.
08:59But Buck is surely among the worst.
09:02Just please try not to get your hopes too high.
09:05As our titular hero's father, you
09:07might think with a town treating Chicken Little like a pariah,
09:10his own dad would be in his corner, right?
09:13Wrong.
09:14Remember how I told you it would be better for you
09:16just to lay low, don't call attention to yourself, right?
09:20Buck is publicly ashamed of his own son
09:22and does nothing to encourage him.
09:24He shows no concern for Chicken Little
09:26unless it affects his own image.
09:28That's all right.
09:29It's fine.
09:30You don't have to explain anything.
09:32While he later redeems himself and learns
09:34to be there for his son, it definitely
09:36feels too little, too late.
09:38Who would you count as the worst character in the Magic Kingdom?
09:41Let us know in the comments down below.
09:43I guess this is goodbye, huh?
09:47I'm sorry that I'm so dysfunctional.
