1. Ursula/Vanessa:The release of The Little Mermaid not only brought a return to the golden age of Disney Animation but also brought to screen perhaps one of the greatest Disney villains. Ursula is a unique character in the way she was desgned, being a lot bigger in size then the normal villain, also the fact that is half a squid. In one respect she can present herself as a wholeseome, caring person, as seen in the "Poor Unfortunate Souls" song, while in another instant she is determined to get her way no matter what bytaking the form of the beautiful Vanessa. Ursula is an example of a villain who desires revenge and has the power to back herself. The culmination of the film truly reveal how great and evil Ursula's character really is. This fantastically desgined and voiced character ranks among the best villains and is personally ranked Number One of my All-Time Favorite Characters.
2. Jim Hawkins: Jim is undeniably a dynamic character for me. He leaves on the quest for Treasure Planet to find the treasure to make his mother proud (and rebuild her destroyed inn). On the way, he has to deal with John Silver, who takes on a sort of father figure that was never present in his life. When he discovers Silver is just using him as a way to get to the treasure, Jim's feeling of betrayal is seen and understood. No doubt, there are many similar people out there in the real world, so Jim being able to defeat his tragic past and be a success to himself calls out to those who've done the same.
3. Simba: In the course of The Lion King, Simba grows from prince to king and the audience is there with him the entire way. Early on, he claims bravery as his hallmark and soon thereafter, it's tested in a way that stuck with him and with the audience forever. In the face of evil, oppression, a maniacal and treacherous uncle, and even death, by the film's end, Simba proves he is every bit as courageous as he believed himself to be as a child.
