User blog:BiggestThomasFan/Top 20 Favorites Heroes

When I first posted my Top 10 Worst Characters blog back in November, my friend, ThomasandMichael suggested that I try doing a blog going over my Top 20 Favorite Characters. I decided to try it in three different ways; a list going over my favorite heroes, one for favorite heroines and another for favorite villains.

So without further delay, here is the first of the three blogs I've been meaning to do for a while. These are my Top 20 Favorite Heroes.

20. Cookie Monster from Sesame Street

I find him funny whenever he appears on screen. Especially when he says "Me want cookie!". And like him, I love cookies. He's one of those characters who will eat just about anything, like parts of Gordon's car in Follow That Bird. From the voice by Frank Oz to the one by David Rudman, you just can't not like Cookie Monster.

19. Woody from Toy Story

Woody has had some neat adventures in the first three Toy Story films. First, he gets lost with Buzz Lightyear and has to learn to get along with him and work together to get home. Then, he gets stolen by a man named Al, who plans to sell him and other toys to a museum in Japan, and must count on his friends to help him get out and go home. And then, he and his friends escape from a daycare and then a garbage dump. Also, Tom Hanks voices Woody brilliantly. And I wonder what Woody will go through in the upcoming Toy Story film (Toy Story 4).

18. Simba from The Lion King

Simba learned a lot in the Lion King films. In the first film, he learned that there's more to being king than just having things his way, how being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble and then how you shouldn't run away from your problems. And in the second movie, Simba learned that he shouldn't have judge a book (or lion) by its cover. With such good development in the Lion King movies, I think he deserved a spot on my list.

17. Courage from Courage the Cowardly Dog

He may be a cowardly dog, but he's proven to have courage in him. Courage will do anything to protect Muriel, Eustace and their home from danger. He didn't talk very much in the series. But when he did have lines, some of them were pretty funny, like "The things I do for love". Courage certainly has proven to be a hero.

16. Gobo from Fraggle Rock

Gobo is one of those character who loves having adventures. And some of the adventures he and his friends have around Fraggle Rock are neat. Most of my favorite episodes in the series are ones that he stars in. And whenever he starts reading a postcard from his Uncle Traveling Matt, I often wonder what adventure his uncle has had or is having in the human world (or, to the Fraggles, "outer space"). Gobo has also proven to be a great friend to the other fraggles. And on a side note, it's a shame that Jerry Nelson, who performed Gobo, passed away in 2012. R.I.P. Jerry Nelson.
