50 greatest Disney characters of all-time ranked
By Mark Lynch
20. Mulan
"“My name is Mulan! I did it to save my father.” -Mulan"
Whether it was the cartoon version or the live-action, Mulan was an incredible hero. The animated version was goofy but still highlighted how skilled she was. Mulan trained hard with the guys to fit in and eventually surpassed them.
A lot of people didn’t like the live-action remake. In their defense, it lacked the upbeat tone of its predecessor. More importantly, Mushu was missed. That being said, Mulan was a better character in the remake.
The animated version didn’t defeat her enemies like her counterpart and didn’t have the same skill set. She was also more confident from training behind the scenes from a young rage. It helped her understand her worth. Either way, the second Mulan was better and the reason she cracked the top 20.
19. Queen Grimhilde
"“Silence! You know the penalty if you fail.” -Queen Grimhilde"
If, “Never ask questions you don’t want the answer to” was a person, she’d be the evil queen from Snow White. Queen Grimhilde asked who the fairest of them all was and didn’t like the answer. Instead of just accepting the answer, she decided to be petty. That same pettiness leads to her losing the title of second-place beauty and dropping to last. Not only are her actions reprehensible, but karma also quickly bit her in the butt. A fitting punishment for an evil queen.
