LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS

Don't let their age fool you ... what these heroes lack in time-earned wisdom, they more then make up for with raw spunk.

PETER PAN

Film: Peter Pan (1953)

Voice Actor: Bobby Driscoll

Directing Animator: Milt Kahl

Sidekicks: Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys

Heroic Anthem: "Just a little bit of pixie dust! Now, think of the happiest things ... it's the same as having wings!"

Quote: "Nobody calls Pan a coward and lives! I'll fight you man-to-man, with one hand behind my back!"

DVD: Available

He's the boy who never grew up - and he's taking full advantage of that situation. Pillaging pirates, crafty Indians, flirtatious mermaids, even that pushy English girl - he handles them all with a detached, childish glee. Oh, and he can fly too.

ALADDIN

Film: Aladdin (1992)

Voice Actor: Scott Weinger

Supervising Animator: Glen Keane

Sidekicks: Genie, Abu and Carpet

Heroic Anthem: "Riff-raff, street rat ... I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer ... would they see a poor boy? No, siree. They'd find out there's so much more to me."

Quote: "Are you afraid to fight me yourself, you cowardly snake?"

DVD: Available

Raised on the mean streets of Agrabah, this fleet footed riff raff knows his way around a sand dune. But when this so-called "diamond in the rough" comes across an enchanted lamp and a magic carpet, there's no stopping him.

QUASIMODO

Film: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

Voice Actor: Tom Hulce

Supervising Animator: James Baxter

Sidekicks: The gargoyle trio

Heroic Anthem: "Give me one day out there, all I ask is one to hold forever ..."

Quote: "All my life you have told me that the world is a dark, cruel place. But now I see that the only thing dark and cruel about it is people like you!"

DVD: Available

Appearances can be deceiving. This misshapen hunchback is far from the monster he appears to be on the outside. Due to a heart of gold (bursting for the enchanting gypsy girl) beneath the behemoth exterior, the bell ringer of Notre Dame ultimately triumphs.
