If you’ve been reading along this past week, you’ve probably noticed the Decider team has been dedicated to covering all things The Little Mermaid, being that the Disney classic is celebrating 25 years.
After thinking about all of the subliminal (and some very explicit) sexual messages Walt and company has been sending us over the years, we began thinking about the rather overtly sexy characters that stole our hearts from the time we were small. Without further ado, here are the fifteen sexiest characters from the Disney family, including a few honorable mentions we just couldn’t bear to leave out.
