Top Ten Cartoon Animal sidekicks.

Yes I know another list? Really? But I was recently watching an old cartoon I used to watch when I was like 12 and I couldn't help myself. The secret saturdays have so many animals and I thought it would be neat to do a list of my Favorite animal sidekicks. Plus if you look at it this way, you get to find shows with awesome animal sidekicks that you may never have heard before. I think it's a win win. So let's get started.


Going from not too bad to my favorite of all time, there are few more rules. No anime animal sidekicks of course that might be for another blog. The sidekick has to have at least some use and must compliment the main character in some way.


Number Ten: Fu dog From The American Dragon: Jake Long. So this sassy and yet lack luster hygiene worried shar-pei is full of agoo-goos and magical knowhow.  He is only number ten because he can sometimes get in Jake's way and always seems to annoy you just a enough to where you don't hate him. He enjoys chasing after poodles and making everything smell. Fu dog is useful with his potion making abilities and knowledge of other creatures. But I say you could just take his book that has everything about any magical creature and leave him to stink up the bathroom of the shop after he ate a platter of burritos.
Well he can be pretty dog-on cute at times.


Number Nine: Rufus, Kim Possible. Okay so he's the sidekick of a sidekick. But he made an entire generation want to look up what a naked mole rat really looks like and if they love nacho's just as much as this little pink guy. He is like a little mini Ron and Kim get's along with him at times as if he was her own pet. Rufus has helped a number of times and I total loved future Rufus and still do.
I bet he lives  good life in Ron's pocket.


Number Eight: Fiskerton aka Fisk, The Secret Saturdays. Okay Let me explain. This guy is so adorable I want a plushie of him with little goggles on him. He is very agile and strong. But let's face it. He is not much of a fighter and not someone you will be understand what he is saying anytime soon. Plus he seems to be pushed around a lot more than he is appreciated.  
See isn't he adorable!?



Number Seven: Catbug, Bravest Warriors. Another little guy that is mostly on here for cuteness.(What? Don't give me that. Cute characters are among the best.) But besides being adorable as heck. He can travel to different dimensions in a flash. Granted he can't control it but once he brings back things and says he is home with his adorable voice you just want to pinch his cheeks! He compliments everyone in his own way, mostly Beth and Wallow. He also has this vicious cat instinct that can come up, we have yet to see it but I'm guessing it's something fiercely awesome! He has no shame in what he does and this guy just loves to have fun. But then again pretty much any creature mixed with a cat is adorable! Catbug just takes the brownies.
 I will love you.....fooooreeeeveeeeeer.



Number Six: Bobo Haha, Generator Rex. Much like Fu dog he can be pretty smelly but I have not found a time where I wish he would get off the show. I actually wish he was shown a bit more and that he was stronger. He is getting constantly knocked around in any of the fights Rex and he are in together. Now weather it's because he is lazy or just the writers making him weak who knows because it most certainly not this monkey- sorry ape's shooting skills. Get him those plasma guns and he makes one sharpshooting ape with a fez. He is much like Rex's brother for much of the show. The way the two just encourage each other to just go for it make for one wild ride.
Let's face it he is one awesome sidekick.



Number Five: Viper, Kung fu panda. Often unnoticed and outshined by Tigress, Viper is actually far more skilled than some might think. She is often the one who takes down the enemies with fast strikes and precision. In the episode, Serpents tooth, Viper is given an overdue lead role. We see her determination, tenacity, and strength that has been hidden under her sweet as sugar personality. She can be a bit sarcastic at times but she is sweet, caring for her friends the way does. I find her to be the mother of the group if she was given a bigger role. Her design is beautiful and she balances Po in such a way Tigress can't that I find Viper to be a better side kick than the others. 
Sugar, spice, and everything kick butt.


Number Four: Hector, Dragon Hunters. Okay this guy is the true definition of sidekick. He is often made to sharpen, clean, and pack the gangs weapons by Gwezdo. Who also give this furry blue dragon little respect. Hector love meat and like many dragons can blow fire, even if it is small. But then again Hector is tiny for his kind. How hector, Lian-chu, and Gwezdo met has always been a mystery but this little guy wold go through a lot of things for the two and like many sidekicks you have little to no idea what he is saying but he sure is fun to watch.   
Seriously how could you not love this guy?


Number Three: Appa, Avatar the Last Airbender. Okay so if you have seen the show yo know why this big fellow is on here. Aang and he just have a connection. Appa will fight until the end for Aang and in a way Appa is kind of like a father to Aang the way he protects him even though Aang is more than capable to protect himself. Aang does help Appa through times when he is scared but you see the connection the most when the two are separated. It's just a beautiful thing these two have.
Tears just come pouring out when I see this picture!!


Number two: Okay im okay now. So what can top that? Well Tatsurian the unchained, aka Bob, Kaijudo: rise of the Duel Masters. Unlike Appa and Aang, Ray And bob had to learn to get along. They grew a relationship that we get to see grow into this deep understanding. Each Have had their own struggles and differences yet through that they have become the best of friends and Bob is the perfect sidekick no matter how headstrong or hotheaded he is. He is extremely useful in combat and for the most part can overcome challenges with Ray. He does know when to hold back Ray and Himself when he isn't in a bad mood which is most of the time. But over the show we have seen him grow softer towards Ray and that is just what I think a sidekick is. A best friend.

It also helps the fact that is awesome!!!


Number One: TOOTHLESS!!! From How to train your dragon. Much like Ray and bob These two have had to learn to trust each other. The fact that either one would risk their life for each other shows there bond. Toothless is also goofy and loving and adorable. The fact that he is the odd dragon out much like how Hiccup is the odd man out just makes these two inspiring. I could go one forever about Toothless but I'll spare you. Instead look at this picture of the adorable dragon!
Yeah that just says it all.

Well thank you for joining me in reading this list. I'll make this exit short since that was a pretty long list. As always leave suggestions and Have a good one!!
