The title is pretty self explanatory I don’t think this question has been posted before. So, who is your favorite animated character? Motivate and feel free to add pics!
Those who know me, or know of me, or have read anything I’ve written since my recent appearance on this forum won’t be too surprised to hear that my favorite character is … Bolt!
(feel free to skip following explanation^^)
Not only is he extremely cute. He also happened to be a pretty deep and complex character. To some point, this was a bit of a disadvantage as his few-worded, complicated personality and subtle character development wasn’t quite as funny to the kiddies as the annoying, loud and hyperactive hamster. Bolt was quickly forgotten, but I loved him!
I love him because he is such a fascinating character! Bolt has this duo-personality, a mix between his superhero persona – the side of him that blows up helicopters and callously captures abounded kitties (Mittens), indifferently holding them dangling over busy highways – and his more sensitive, dog-like sweet-natured and innocent side. The warm, cuddly side of him that is mostly just seen when he is together with Penny, the little girl to whom he directs all his love and devotion.
Bolt and Mittens had some kinda love-hate relationship in the movie. His fur is so fluffy!
Bolt also develops a lot in the movie! During Bolt’s brush with reality, these two sides of him are in constant conflict. At first, Bolt treats Mittens quite brutality and is indifferent to her
objections. But after his huge self-realization, about halfway into the movie, Bolt finally gives up on his superhero persona. Thus, he allows his sweet-natured and caring side, the side I mentioned earlier, to shine through his tough exterior as he exposes himself and his vulnerability to Mittens, even going as far as to letting her teach him “how to be a dog”. Bolt’s ability to trust Mittens is really remarkable when you think about.
Of course Bolt also embodies the admirable canine qualities. He is super loyal and trusting, despite everything that he has been put through, and he is cuddly and lovable. To some point, Bolt’s innocent nature makes him a potential victim, and in the movie, Bolt was manipulated by both the callous Hollywood studio and its directors, and the fast-talking, cynical Mittens who often managed to hurt Bolt’s feelings.
He is also extremely expressive! He has the anthropomorphic facial expressions of a human being, and the body language of the common dog. And a more handsome doggy is hard to find!
Bolt shortly after discovering that he doesn’t have any superpowers. Before this, Bolt had gone through a process of self-denial.
Woody, Bob Parr, Helen Parr, Rapunzel, Flynn, Belle, Jasmine, all the rest of the Disney princesses and princes, Milo Thatch, Stitch, Mickey Mouse, Jessie, Buzz…that’s enough. 
It’s probably Buzz, then Woody, McQueen, and Phineas and Ferb (tied).
