Top 5: Dodgy Disney Characters

Originally published 18/10/10 in The Mancunion

5) Captain Hook
I know that technically, he was created by J.M. Barrie, but the strangely Elektran relationship that he has with Wendy was highlighted beautifully in the Disney version of Peter Pan.





4) The Crows from Dumbo
The taint on an otherwise endearing animation, these two dimensional feathery bigots prove racism is never funny.






3) Timone and Pumba
Simba’s flatulent side kicks. I have two words for you: Cheap laughs. Who decided to give them a spin-off?









4) Princess Aurora
Introducing small children to the lighter side of ‘stranger danger’ since 1959. Well, ok, it turns out that Prince Phillip is a family friend and they’ve been engaged all along, but she didn’t know that did she?








5) Donald Duck
The original exhibitionist; I have never seen this dude wearing pants, yet he feels the need to wear half a sailor costume. A Little too kinky for kids if you ask me.
