Mickey Mouse, his wife Minnie, his dog Pluto, his pal Goofy are some of the first characters that went on to become global favorites to the young and old alike. Donald Duck always on misadventures and that crackling laughter of his is another favorite. In more recent times, the characters in Lion King, 101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan stole many hearts.
