Every hero needs a loyal sidekick — nothing proves that more than our favorite Disney movies. From embarking on adventures, to getting out of sticky situations, to even falling in love, it helps to have a faithful friend by your side. In honor of this very important role, we've rounded up some of the very best sidekicks in Disney history.

Baloo, The Jungle Book

Talk about the best big brother bear out there!

Baymax, Big Hero 6

He may not be a real human, but he's the best friend you'll ever have.

Thumper, Bambi

"If you don't have nothin' nice to say, don't say nothin' at all." Ain't that the truth, Thumper.

Flit and Mako, Pocahontas

The duo that can solve anything!

White Rabbit, Alice In Wonderland

Don't be late, and don't be too curious.

Pegasus, Hercules

Who doesn't love having a best friend that can fly?

Sgt. Tibbs, 101 Dalmatians

A cat in charge of 101 pups? Somehow it works.

Terk, Tarzan

There since the beginning, Terk is Tarzan's right hand ma ... gorilla.

Pacha, The Emperor's New Groove

Talk about a forgiving man! Pacha sticks by the emperor's side even after all the horrible things he says and does.

Timothy Q. Mouse, Dumbo

This is probably where we get the phrase, "tiny, but mighty."

Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio

As Pinocchio's sidekick, Jiminy Cricket is the most "human" sidekick of them all.

The Seven Dwarves, Snow White

One woman with seven men to do whatever she pleases? Can I get an amen?

Tinkerbell, Peter Pan

Gotta get some of that fairy dust.

The Magic Carpet, Aladdin

Again, the flying is pretty cool.

Dug, Up

A man's best friend.

Olaf and Sven, Frozen

"You're worth melting for."

Pascal, Tangled

Another small but mighty sidekick.

Gus and Jaq, Cinderella

A dynamic duo.

Lumiere and Cogsworth, Beauty & The Beast

Both pretty good at fighting bad guys.

Mushu, Mulan

Mushu has the best sass.

Dory, Finding Nemo

Quirky, yes, but one of the best sidekicks in the game.

Sebastian and Flounder, The Little Mermaid

From land to sea, Sebastian and Flounder have Ariel's back.

Timon and Pumbaa, The Lion King

The ultimate duo. Teaching you lessons, and kicking some major butt.
