Why do they draw them like that?

For any Disney fangirls like me out there (late teens and adult women can still count as fangirls if they've watched a Disney movie in the past three months), this is one of life's great unanswered questions. Why do they draw cartoon characters so attractively? Men could ask the same question about female characters, but I can only comment on the males. Since I like lists, I'm going to make one to prove my point.

First on the list is the infamous Captain Phoebus. He features heavily in the 1996 classic 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'. Phoebus, whose name officially means 'sun god' (although I protest that 'sexy' would work just as well), falls in love with Esmerelda, saves Quasimodo's life, and defies Judge Claude Frollo. He also is kind, generous, compassionate, and loving. And hot. I don't really have a thing for blond guys, but come on! It's Phoebus! He's my little (big) French superman. And he's way too sexy.

There's also Tarzan! Besides having the obvious advantages of brown hair and a lifetime spent in the jungle, Tarzan has the build of Adonis. He is also extremely sparing with the clothing and has the chiseled features of a god. Tarzan also manages to make white man dreadlocks look good. Do I even need to mention his amazing eyes? He's a perfect man with the perfect humble, adorably simple personality.

John Rolfe. Many have hated him for 'stealing' Pocahontas from John Smith, but I am a die-hard fan. I can compare him physically to Tarzan, both of whom share the perfect features of a Greek god. Mentally, he is exactly what I am looking for: well mannered and polite. He was raised believing etiquette was the basis of life. He also has brownish red hair and the most beautiful brown eyes. Other than his adoration of king and country, I cannot find a fault with him.

And last, but most certainly not least, topping off my whittled down list of Disney's home run hunky hero hotties (say that five times fast!) is Aladdin! This Arabic bad boy stole much more than bread; he stole the hearts of millions of girls and women all over the globe. But there's more behind that dashing smile than a sexy wonder. He is deep! Throughout the trilogy, Aladdin proves again and again how much he values family, friendship, and responsibility. He also places considerable value on truth, although it wouldn't appear so at the beginning...



So there's today's little rant. It kind of turned impersonal, didn't it? Oh well. I feel better, at least, about how amazingly hot Disney can draw their men. Of course, they aren't the only ones. Dreamworks has provided a number of head turners too, such as the infamous Flynn Rider and Tulio, the spicy Spanish boy with the perfect hair.

Peace out, bloggees. I'm off to watch some Disney...or possibly Dreamworks...movies.
