    Disney's 10 Hottest Guys

    by ALMIE ROSE

    10. CAPTAIN HOOK (PETER PAN)

    What? Sure, Hook’s chin is a little out of proportion with the rest of his crazy face, but I go for those Venice looking hipsters, of which Hook fits the bill: skinny bod, weird facial hair, funny hat. And those stockings? To die for. Plus Peter Pan was such a dick. Did that ten year old seriously have nothing better to do than antagonize a middle aged man with reptile issues? Asshole.

    from here

    9. PRINCE PHILLIP (SLEEPING BEAUTY)

    Prince Phillip really didn’t have much of a personality and he’s easily confused with Prince Charming, but he has a nice pompadour thing going on, looks great in red, and slain a fucking dragon so you have to give the guy some credit. He also didn’t balk when he saw Princess Aurora geeking out in the woods singing to a bunch of animals so that earns him props too.

    8. THOMAS (THE NERDY GUY FROM POCAHONTAS VOICED BY CHRISTIAN BALE)

    Captain “Sugar Tits” John Smith is too blonde and too Mel Gibson to ever be attractive but Thomas with his quiet, humble demeanor and sensitive poet persona is the guy for me. I’m not sure what you couldn’t fucking understand about this one.

    7. JAFAR (ALADDIN)

    He’s like Captain Hook without the hook, which is great because who really wants to deal with that hook? Jafar was cool because he had that snake staff and that gave him this Adam Ant edge. Just the whole flair for dress was very New Romantics. And his speech: so slow, so deliberate, so smooth. Yes, master!

    6. PRINCE NAVEEN (THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG)

    I haven’t even seen this film yet but this guy looks pretty sexy.

    5. ROGER (ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS)

    Roger had a good job and a great sense of style. He was a songwriter, he had nice hair, and I’d get tangled in his leash any time. I can never, ever say no to a man in sweater vests.

    4. ALADDIN (ALADDIN)

    Did you know that the inspiration for Aladdin was Tom Cruise, pre-crazy? Thankfully, Aladdin is a lot less manic but I was always a little uncomfortable by his lack of shirt. I get that he’s poor, but he really can’t cover his chest? It was all very confusing to me. Having him voiced by D.J. Tanner’s adorable boyfriend didn’t help matters either.  I’d let him “One Jump” me.

    3. BERT (MARY POPPINS)

    Again, that tall, skinny physique really does it for me. And I do love a man with an accent, even if it’s a horrible mangled Bob’s Your Uncle hack job. Bert really knew how to let loose but you could tell that even though he was poor, he would never let the woman pay. Plus, he was a musician. That’s always sexy. I’d chim chimeny chim his cheree any time.

    2. GASTON (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST)

    He’s kind of a meathead in that he loves beer, hates to read, is especially good at expectorating, likes to kill stuff, and uses antlers in all of his decorating, but you can’t deny the guy’s ability to pull off a ponytail and leggings. Gaston had a sensitive side too; he was crushed when Belle, resident bookworm, didn’t want his swell cleffed-chin all to her own. “Dismissed, rejected, publicity humiliated,” he moans, “I’m a disgrace.” But how could he forget about his biceps to spare? And Gaston, unlike the beast, was never violent with her. Let’s just face it: Gaston is the best and the rest is the drips.

    1. PRINCE ERIC (THE LITTLE MERMAID)

    This blue-eyed bitch paved the way for Jon Hamm and James Franco. Prince Eric was caring, respectful, and handsome. Maybe it’s because he reminds me of a cartoon version of this guy I’ve been crushing on, but I think Prince Eric is the hottest Disney guy of all time. Of all time. Just don’t read the Prince Eric/Ariel rape fan fiction that’s out there. I wish I could pull the memory out of my brain and lock it in a seashell.

    Dude, your Prince Phillip picture is actually Prince Eric. I know, he's a hunk, but doesn't Phillip deserve some perverted love?

    January 14, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

    Roger is the man.

    January 14, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

    Sarah, no that's Prince Philip. Trust me, I have the Prince Eric one as my desktop. He even has an Ariel Tattoo!

    My mom caught me singing a made up love song to Prince Eric while I was lying in bed aged 5 or 6 once ... not a good look.

    how could you possibly leave off the guy from Mulan?

    January 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterS

    please link the pictures of Aladdin and Prince Phillip to this guy: http://davidkawena.deviantart.com/
    he deserves the right credit!

    January 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterC

    Calm down, cowboy. He's getting credit, I think she linked him. But I'm not claiming that I'm the artist. She just found them on my site. She's sourcing correctly.

    January 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMimilainna

    Where is Prince Charming from "Cinderella"? I think he beats Captain Hook and Jafar...

    January 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterIpreferAngie

    I love me some Prince Eric, but its kinds weird that he looks exactly like the young version of my dad :P

    March 29, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRose

    Bert from Mary Poppins is actually the great Dick Van Dyke. Classy dude.

    May 10, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterlaidbacklemon

    This probably ruins your fantasy, but my long-standing theory is that Bert is Mary Poppin's ex-husband; she divorced him because he was just too darned gay. (Literally. He didn't know he wasn't into chicks until after he got married.) She helped him realize this fact and they amicably split and remain the closest of friends. Go watch the part of the film where they go on the date to the penguin cafe. There are clues ALL OVER that scene.

    (My post is for anyone who thinks Almie is as crazy as they come. Not even close!)

    May 20, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJeff

    i think the Beast in his human form is pretty hot. i actually did a gasp the first time i saw him. Tarzan, pretty hot too.

    May 21, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertrish

    omg what is up with the two naked guys wired

    May 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commentercooldude2538

    YES! I have ALWAYS said Prince Eric is the hottest! All my friends were always going for Aladdin, but Eric is the far superior prince.

    May 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPasha

    ALADDIN ALL THE WAY!:)
