10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

Characters in Pixar films have always been noted for being joyful, amusing, or heroic—and occasionally all three. From the well-known pair Woody and Buzz to the appealing underdog Nemo to all five of the oddly adorable emotions in Inside Out, Pixar’s key characters never fail to capture the attention of viewers at first glance.

   
⁠

Pixar was, however, able to mimic Disney’s style with its sidekicks. For example, Forky debuts as Toy Story 4‘s unanticipated star, Sox quickly wins over fans, and Dory, who, thanks to her charm and sense of humor, is given the lead in her own movie.

Forky – Toy Story 4

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

Audiences began to worry how everything would fit into the movie dubbed the ultimate chapter of the Toy Story franchise when the 4th movie debuted and featured a talking spork. However, Forky eventually became a global sensation because of his self-deprecating humor and desire not to be alive, similar to the rest of his buddies.

When Bonnie first started kindergarten, she transformed a craft project by hot-gluing googly eyes and wrapping pipe cleaners around a spork. Forky was given life by Bonnie’s love, which enabled him to serve as Woody’s sidekick in the movie by cracking jokes and asking plenty of questions.

Dory – Finding Nemo

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

Though Finding Nemo‘s protagonists Nemo and his father Marlin both play major roles, Dory greatly steals the show. Due to her dry humor, good nature, and adorable short-term memory loss, Dory, who was voiced by global favorite Ellen Degeneres, finally starred in the Finding Dory movie.

Marlin, Nemo’s overbearing father, is looking for his missing kid when he comes across Dory, who offers to tell him where to go before quickly forgetting about him later. The movie’s running gag circulates about Dory’s amnesia, yet really her catchphrase, “Just keep swimming,” was the thing that made her a recognizable and well-liked sidekick.

Frozone – The Incredibles

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

Although his name is Frozone, this supporting character is as incredible as the titular character. Being Mr. Incredible’s best buddy and fellow superhero, Frozone maintains his composure throughout The Incredibles, or at least until his spouse declines to assist him in locating his super suit.

If Frozone isn’t using his superhero abilities to save the world, he’s still being his gorgeous self, wooing Helen and accompanying Bob on stakeouts. He is beloved because of his laid-back demeanor and dedication to both his partner and fighting evil in the movies.

Dot – A Bug’s Life

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

A Bug’s Life, which came to theaters in 1998 between Toy Story and Toy Story 2, is undoubtedly one of the underestimated Pixar movies, and its characters are equally neglected. Yet one character, especially, though, is adored by everyone for her bravery, willingness to provide a hand, and lovely disposition.

A young Hayden Panettierre was the voice actress of Dot, Atta’s younger sibling, who later grew into a role model for young ladies all over the world for her will to excel in The Blueberries (a group of ant scouts), her ability to fly, and how she aids her best friend Flik in saving the ant colony.

Mater – Cars

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

Mater is the earliest in the Cars film to become friends with renowned race car Lightning McQueen after his defeat in Radiator Springs. Even though Mater is an old, rusted tow truck, he shows kindness and concern for everyone in town, even brash newcomer Lightning.

Mater, who is credulous but also warm-hearted, becomes Lightning’s close buddy and a beloved minor character, not because of his outlook, but due to his endearing nature and moments of funny relief in the series.

Giulia – Luca

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

The story of Luca centers on two young boys who become best friends after agreeing upon leaving their sea monster lives to live on land. However, there is one endearing character, who is their unanticipated buddy and triathlon team member in their race to win the Portorosso Cup, named Giulia.

Even though the remainder of Portorosso wants to avoid the two strangers, Giulia Marcovaldo becomes friends with them and is the earliest to acknowledge that they are sea monsters. Yet what makes Giulia a commendable sidekick is her self-assurance in her identity and her ability.

Dug – Up

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

There are many odd characters in Up, such as the Wilderness Explorer Russell, Kevin the bird, and the unconventional explorer Charles Muntz, but since the film’s 2009 release, Dug has been a world-wide fan-favorite.

The golden retriever serves as humorous relief and is among the more upbeat characters in a movie full of bad energy from protagonists like Carl and Muntz when he’s not being sidetracked by squirrels and looking for exotic birds.

Sox – Lightyear

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

Sox ended up being the unanticipated breakout star of Lightyear because of his amusing remarks and capacity to come to Buzz’s rescue at the right moment. Sox, the mechanical cat who served as Buzz’s emotional support, played a crucial role in Buzz’s quest as a funny companion.

Sox is undoubtedly adored by everyone and possibly a must-have toy in Andy’s universe as well, whether he was blasting confetti, chasing lasers, or figuring out the equation that assists Buzz complete his quest.

Bing Bong – Inside Out

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films

There are many endearing characters in Inside Out, including some who are furious or repulsive, but none of them come close to Bing Bong. Bing Bong was Riley’s childhood imaginary buddy, and long after Riley ceased to trust him, he continued to live in Imagination Land in Riley’s thoughts.

Bing Bong’s most endearing quality, however, was his willingness to make the ultimate tribute to aid Riley and Joy, even when it meant being forgotten by his beloved. This was in addition to his sweet cotton candy scent and his love of going on rocket rides with Riley.

Slinky Dog – Toy Story

10 Most Prominent Sidekicks In Pixar Films/p>
Andy and fans have always found tons of their favorite toys in Toy Story. Rex, Hamm, and Bullseye are remarkable runners-up, but they fall short of Slinky Dog, Woody’s first sidekick. Slinky was one of Andy’s oldest items, and even when the other toys turned their back on Woody, he never left his side.

Slinky was the only toy who gave Woody a second chance when he was blamed for killing Buzz. One of the most devoted sidekicks in the series, he was always eager for a game of checkers and joined the hunt for Woody after he was abducted by Al McWhiggin.
