Disney Heroes

There are many heroes in Disney movies. These heroes can range from anything like female, male, animal, creature, human, superhuman etc. The two groups that I found mostly are human Disney heroes and animal Disney heroes.

Human Disney Heroes;



Hercules was a God who was turned mortal by Hades' sidekicks. After learning his true past, he works hard to become a hero and defeats Hades and all the evil creatures.


Pocahontas was a heroine because she saved John Smith from being killed and stepped out to start peace between her people and John Smith's people, despite her father's objections.


HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Quasimodo with anguished heart
Alone in the cathedral bell-tower
Despised for his ugliness and hunchback
Needs the ecstasy of a woman’s love
But knows he will never father a child
Nor kiss sweet rosebud lips of true love.

Deformed limping ugliness sublime
Children flee from him in screaming terror
Dogs howl at his grotesque shape
As he limps in misery from place to place
Trying to hide among shadows
Distorted face turned towards the darkness.

He swings clinging to the great bell
Deaf to her thunderous peals
And for a brief moment of happiness
Forgets the torments of his troubled life
Gross deformity that shamed his mother
And his spirit soars free as a dove over Paris.

Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a hero because even though he lived a horrible life, and had close to no one who respected him, he saved a gypsy woman, and humbly let her love the one she loved, when she was the one he loved. He saved her and even saved the man she loved. That to me is truly Heroic.

Animal Disney Heroes;


Simba in The Lion King was a hero because even though he left his kingdom after he was tricked into thinking he killed his own father. After awhile, he returns to his kingdom and rescues his people from his evil uncle Scar.


Marlin, from Finding Nemo is a hero because after his son, Nemo, gets taken by a scuba diver, he embarks on his long seemingly endless journey to find his son. He travels across the ocean without hesitating even though it means going through hardships including sharks, anglerfish, jelly fish, a fisher's net and many more without giving up.




Pongo from 101 Dalmations is a hero in the same way as Marlin, in the sense that he went through any obstacle to save his children. Pongo was smart enough to cover himself and his family in soot to make Cruella Deville and her evil sidekicks from recognizing them as their true identity of Dalmations.

CONCLUSION;
In Disney movies there are two different kinds of heroes, Animal and Human. Both need the same qualities to accomplish similar tasks that are put ahead of them. After finding all these artifacts on Disney Heroes, I found out that the major qualities these animal and human heroes possess are determination, intelligence, compassion, dedication, physical and emotional strength, and love.
