What would "Aladdin" be without Jasmine? "The Lion King" certainly wouldn't be the same without Simba. Can you even imagine "The Little Mermaid" without Ariel? These are the movies — and accompanying characters — we've come to know and love over the years. But they just wouldn't be the same separated. Could you even have "Monsters Inc." without Mike Wazowski? And don't get us started on "Toy Story" without that infamous cowboy/spaceman combination!Â
Disney's animated classics and popular franchises have produced some pretty memorable faces. But what if we gave you just a screenshot of a single character from one of the flicks?

And it has been years. Heck, Snow White is older than many of us — 75 years old! (She looks darn good for someone who's been around since 1944, doesn't she?)
