Top 10 Disney Mentors


I, like many, grew up watching every Disney movie under the sun. To me, a "Disney Mentor" is a wise character that helps the main heroes of the story reach a happy ending, or at least try their best to keep them safe from harm. So to me, a 'mentor' can't be the leading character, nor can it be a character that doesn't offer useful help. Here are my Top 10 Disney Mentors!

Mulan has been my undisputed favourite Disney movie since I was a child. It's an absolutely phenomenal film that brings so much more than any Disney princess movie before it. Its soundtrack is one of the greatest I've ever heard, the animation is stunningly beautiful, the character's are hilarious and interesting, and the story is just so grand in scale. There are two things in this movie that make it stand as one of the all time greats of animation. One is its leading character Mulan, who goes through what I consider the greatest challenge any female Disney character has ever had to face. The other is her mentor and friend, Mushu, who is by far the funniest Disney character I've ever seen. This exquisitely crafted film deserves to be praised as one of the all time greats of animation.
