We’ve included a mix of the famous and the forgotten, so whether you’re here for nostalgia or discovery, you’ll find something to love.
Main Characters Named A
Ariel
Disney.
One of Disney’s most iconic princesses, Ariel from The Little Mermaid is a curious and adventurous young mermaid who dreams of exploring the human world.
Voiced by Jodi Benson, Ariel’s journey to find her place on land (and in love) has made her a timeless favorite since her debut in 1989.
Aladdin
The charming “diamond in the rough” from Agrabah is the star of the 1992 animated classic Aladdin. Voiced by Scott Weinger, Aladdin’s resourcefulness and big heart help him win the love of Princess Jasmine — and outwit the evil Jafar.
Anna
From Frozen and Frozen 2, Anna is the warm-hearted, determined younger sister of Elsa. Voiced by Kristen Bell, she’s known for her optimism, loyalty, and willingness to risk it all for the people she loves.
Aurora
Better known as Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is the elegant princess from Disney’s 1959 animated classic. Cursed by the evil Maleficent, she’s awakened by true love’s kiss — and remains one of Disney’s most graceful figures.
Arlo
From Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, Arlo is a young Apatosaurus who embarks on a journey of courage and self-discovery after being separated from his family.
Andy
Andy Davis from the Toy Story series is the kind-hearted boy who owns Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toys. His love for them is the heart of the franchise’s emotional core.
Supporting and Minor Characters
Abu
Aladdin’s loyal monkey sidekick is mischievous, resourceful, and always ready to help (or swipe a snack). His expressive gestures make him unforgettable despite never speaking a word.
Anastasia & Drizella
In Cinderella, Anastasia is one of the wicked stepsisters — though in later adaptations like Cinderella II, she gets a redemption arc and even finds love.
Archimedes
The grumpy but wise owl companion of Merlin in The Sword in the Stone, Archimedes provides both comic relief and helpful advice to young Arthur.
Anger
From Pixar’s Inside Out, Anger is one of the emotions inside Riley’s mind, voiced by Lewis Black. He’s fiery, literal, and hilariously short-tempered.
Villains and Antagonists with A Names
Alameda Slim
The villain of Home on the Range, Alameda Slim is a cattle rustler with an unusual weapon — his yodeling, which hypnotizes cows!
Amos Slade
From The Fox and the Hound, Amos is a gruff hunter determined to catch Tod the fox, despite Copper’s growing friendship with him.
Auto
In Pixar’s WALL·E, Auto is the autopilot of the spaceship Axiom — and the main antagonist who tries to keep humanity from returning to Earth.
Auguste Gusteau
While not a villain in Ratatouille, Chef Gusteau’s rival Anton Ego (another A character!) is one of Pixar’s most memorable critics — turning from antagonist to ally by the end.
Characters from Extended Disney Media
Agent P’s Alias: Ace
In Phineas and Ferb, Perry the Platypus occasionally operates under other names in spy missions — “Ace” being one of them in special episodes.
Ahsoka Tano
From the Star Wars animated series and now live-action shows, Ahsoka is a fan-favorite Jedi who trained under Anakin Skywalker. She’s become one of the most popular extended-universe characters since Disney acquired Lucasfilm.
Ant-Man
From the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ant-Man (Scott Lang) is a superhero who can shrink to insect size and grow to giant proportions. Played by Paul Rudd, he’s a comedic yet essential part of the Avengers team.
