This is my list of characters that I like in movies and shows I don't like. I respect your opinions if you like any of the media listed.

1. Sarah (Caillou) This is one of those shows that I liked when I was a kid, but I don't anymore, because Caillou whines too much. Nowadays, the only character that I really like from this show is Caillou's older, Chinese-Canadian friend, Sarah. She is a smart girl who is also understanding and caring - not to mention patient - towards Caillou and his friends. I also like how her character and her family introduce Chinese culture to the show, while I prefer Disney's animated Mulan and Sagwa: The Chinese Siamese Cat better. Still, I think Sarah is a true underrated gem.
2. King Llort (A Troll in Central Park) This is definitely NOT Don Bluth's best movie, but I like this guy. Like his evil wife, Queen Gnorga of the trolls, Llort's antics and slapstick are quite funny - in fact, he and Gnorga have more likable moments than any of the main characters in this movie. I also like the late Charles Nelson Reilly's portrayal of him.
3. Christina Crawford (Mommie Dearest) As I've probably mentioned several times before, Mommie Dearest is one of my most hated movies, because of how it portrayed Joan Crawford as an abusive mother towards her children, Christina and Chrisopher (as explained in the real-life Christina's memoir that the movie is based on). I deeply sympathize with Christina, and I always there was anything I could do to help her escape from her wicked mother - like put Joan in the electric chair with a dry sponge!
4. Kira Supernova (Escape From Planet Earth) I remember seeing this movie back in my teens, because I'm a nerd for animated movies. However, this movie and Planet 51 are both bad examples of "role-reversal/AU" rip-offs of E.T. But the one character I actually like from Planet Earth is Kira Supernova, the wife of our protagonist, Gary. She is a smart and loving wife and mother to Gary and their son, Kip, respectively; when Gary is taken prisoner on Earth with his brother, Scorch, Kira proves to be a strong-willed and determined heroine, as she takes no chances to rescue her husband and brother-in-law with the help of Kip.
5. Diesel 10 (Thomas and the Magic Railroad) While I've always admired Thomas the Tank Engine, this movie is one that I liked when I was a kid, but I don't anymore, due to how the movie's plot often strays away from the series' premise, the absence of Sir Topham Hatt, and just most of the overall acting. However, I've always liked the wicked Diesel 10, and I still do to this day. While I'm neutral to him in the TV series, I admire his humor in this movie, his straight-forward evil plots to get rid of the Lost Engine, and his awesome voice.
6. Licorice the Dog (The Christmas Tree) As I've said before this is one of the absolute WORST Christmas specials of all time - the bad voice acting, the crappy animation, the poor plot, and much more. The only character that I really like in this story is the stray dog, Licorice. He is the orphaned children's only friend, and he is very loyal - especially when he defends Pappy and Lily from a raging bear. Also, he's super-smart, as he "knows" where the North Pole is! (watch the Nostalgia Critic's review of this special for more details)
7. Clark and Ellen Griswold (Vacation (2015)) As much as I'm a fan of the original 1980s and 90s movie franchise, I absolutely despise the 2015 remake due to its poor humor, its rushed and poor plot, and its bad characterizations. However, I have to admit that I enjoyed seeing Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen, the leaders of the Griswold clan. Even if their roles are minor, they still have the wits and the charms from the good ol' days.
8. Butch (The Good Dinosaur) I actually don't HATE this movie; I just don't think it's Pixar's best. I don't really care for how dark it is - even for a Pixar movie. But I do enjoy watching the T-Rexes, particularly Butch, the patriarch of the family. I admire Sam Elliot's portrayal, and I also like how he gives Arlo advice on facing fears and finding his family. Butch's children also have their comical moments, even if they are brief.
9. Lily (Thomas and the Magic Railroad) This is one of Mara Wilson's last roles before retiring from being a child actress. Even if the movie is bad, I like how Lily is determined, brave, and caring for Thomas and his friends, Patch (a friend of her grandfather's), her grandfather, Mr. Conductor, and Junior (Mr. Conductor's cousin). She always believes in magic, and does whatever it takes to help her grandfather find his happiness and bring Lady, the lost engine of Sodor, back to the famous island to help defeat Diesel 10.
10. Timon and Pumbaa (The Lion King (2019)) Yeah, Disney keeps remaking our favorite animated films into live-action trash (expect for the The Jungle Book, Cinderella, Maleficent, and Beauty and the Beast), and this movie is no exception. I hated how the characters lack emotion, and I also was saddened by how James Earl Jones lacked the power he originally had when voicing Mufasa (but I can't blame him for being an old man - no offense if you're reading this, JEJ). However, I still liked Timon and Pumbaa, even if I think the animated versions of them are better. Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner did okay jobs voicing them, and I also loved their reference to Beauty and the Beast in place of the "luau" sequence from the animated film.

Honorable Mentions:
- Neera (Planet 51)
- Nancy (Cross my Heart (1987))
- Oscar Glass (Mulaney)
- Tambor the Snake (Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time)
- Swiper the Fox (Dora the Explorer)

- Twinken (Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie)

- Rexy, Teddy, and Gilbert as Puppets (Caillou)
