(I had had the lists a while ago, but I like to give some explanation in the Discussion-side of the board, so that's why I'm late.

)
Kind of a repeat of the celebrity threads, but I usually have shorter “hate” lists than “like” lists, so…
Hate: Jasmine, Vicky, Faline, Peter Pan, BEN, Remy
The first four mostly have to do with annoying/bland/sexist personalities. Jasmine is a very one-dimensional character to me and she would almost seem harmless, except that she’s so heavily sexualized. That in itself doesn’t bother me, except the fact that she’s made into a bit of an exotic foreigner stereotype--she’s hot because she’s not the norm. That said, her voice is also annoying to me--with that kind of fake baby voice that’s unfortunately caught on, that a lot of women seem to put on for, I guess, to attract men (I’m not sure what other reason there is to speak like that…?). In a lot of ways, she is a very very poor repeat of Ariel. She basically has the same motivation--with maybe a little more reason, since she’s never even left the palace before--but her father is extremely kindly and would--and does--bend to her will very easily. I dunno. Sometimes she doesn’t bother me if I ignore the connotations; otherwise she’s an innocent but bland character.
Vicky and Faline are basically just baby-makers. Though Vicky is just annoying as f-. She treats Tod like crap and expects him to apologize because she’s pretty (Bianca always bothered me for similar reasons, as if she thinks she’s better than Bernard, but she doesn’t quite bother me enough to say I hate her). The reasons for hating PP are obvious, so I won’t go into that.
The rest are just annoying (for me). BEN and Remy owe a lot of their annoying-factor to their voice actors. The voices have a lot to do with how I react to characters actually--Esmeralda is another one that I couldn’t warm up to as much as I might have because of the voice (Anastasia’s another, non-Disney).
Love: Ursula, Lady Tremaine, Tiana, Ariel, the Beast, Cogsworth, Cinderella, Rabbit, Megara, Hercules, Anton Ego, Edna Mode, Elastigirl, Geppetto, Merryweather, Merlin, Lady Cluck, Cruella, Pongo, Basil
I usually like the characters who most entertain me, or who I identify with (usually both). Ursula, Tremaine, Tiana, Beast, and Megara are complex characters (imo) that I love to watch. Others, like Merlin, Cogsworth, Cruella, Basil, Merryweather, Lady Cluck (Robin Hood), Edna, and Cruella are just hilarious to me. The others I either identify with (Ariel, Rabbit--because I‘m sometimes a cynical recluse

--Megara), I admire (Cinderella, Pongo, Elastigirl), or who represent qualities I like/aspire to maintain--like Geppetto and Hercules, who are both sweet/kind and somewhat innocent characters. I like to find that balance between cynicism and naivete. Geppetto is also the type of father I hope to be (and wish I had), except maybe better capable to help my child from a whale if necessary.
