10 Greatest Disney Sidekicks

4. Dopey - Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

To be fair, there are seven little guys who could have easy ended up on this list. We all have our favorite dwarf, even if we do always end up forgetting one of them (usually Sneezy, but let's face it, if your allergies are your most defining character trait you're probably not the most memorable person alive). Regardless, we all have a soft spot in our hearts for Dopey, the most vulnerable member of the group. He's just such a little sweetheart, you can't help but love him. Unfortunately, the other dwarfs have a tendency to be mean to him, because of his goofy, playful nature. But the fact that Snow White treats him well is a clever way to endear her to audiences more than she already way: we like Dopey and she likes Dopey, so we like her. Despite the fact that he never utters a word in the film (Doc says that he's never tried to talk), he packs an emotional wallop, especially at the end when he's grieving at Snow White's coffin.
