13. Lilo and Stitch

Lilo and Stitch have been around for over two decades and still remain popular. Their lesson of love and family was taught better in their show and movie than any other Disney show or movie. It also helps that all of the characters are fun and entertaining. The best part is Lilo doesn’t have to stay young for the series to work. Both of them could mature and learn together as time goes on.

12. Vanellope von Schweetz

Vanellope was easily the best part of both Wreck-It Ralph movies. Her humor and rage against the machine mentality combined with her determination to be the greatest made her incredibly popular. Sarah Silverman truly brought the character to life.

Fans deserve to see what Vanellope did before the first Wreck-It-Ralph. She’s the princess of Litwak’s Arcade’s Sugar Rush. What was she like before her memory was erased? What kind of adventures did she go on? It would be easy to tell this in 5 shorts.

11. Taweret

The goddess Taweret was one of the bright spots of Moon Knight on Disney Plus. The show was rather dark, but Taweret added a bit of happiness where there should have been sorrow. Only she could have added joy to the situation when people are being carted off to their final resting place. Especially when their fates haven’t been decided yet.

Not everyone involved is going to take the news of death well. There have to be a range of emotions that people are going through. Some of them may be happy that their time is over. In that situation, she’ll be happy to let them experience what’s next. Others may be distraught and not know what to do. Taweret will have to console them. Then there are the ones who try to get violent. Taweret may seem soft and subtle, but she’s certainly not going to be pushed around. Disney Plus should display all of these and more.
