Every Pixar Hero Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Mike Wazowski (Monsters, Inc. & Monsters University)

Monsters, Inc.'s Mike Wazowski is a character whose sheer presence rouses a gut-laugh - all teeth and eyeball, this bulbous green blob could've been sheer nightmare fuel in the wrong hands, but Pixar's animated wizards instead turned him into perhaps their most strictly endearing character.

Voiced with peppy delight by Billy Crystal, Mike is an enchantingly optimistic wise-cracker of a monster and a weirdly relatable one at that, given his concerted effort to succeed at work and build a better life for himself no matter the obstacles.

His double act with Sulley is undeniably one for the ages, but if pressed to pick one of the two, it's Mike's aloof, goofy charm that just barely wins out.
