As I venture away from home and begin to experience college life for the first time, I find myself with a growing nostalgia for the things of my childhood. Looking back at the animated characters of the movies that I so cherished, I now view some of them in a different, and less innocent, light. My impure thoughts prompted me to create the following list of the top 10 most desirable animated characters.

10. Doc (“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”)
Maybe this one is just me, but Doc, the kind-hearted leader of the Seven Dwarfs, is underrated. After all, he IS a doctor. And the way he excitedly stumbles over his words? C’mon, that’s endearing.

9. Pocahontas (“Pocahontas”)
This free spirit comes in at number nine. She’s in touch with nature, and, interestingly enough, is also the first and only Disney princess to be caught between two love interests. She would probably have no problem juggling a third.

8.Prince Eric (“The Little Mermaid”)
Eric broke the mold of the stereotypical Prince Charming, bringing him to his spot at number eight. He has a strong personality and good looks, and he is both a sailor and a dog lover.

7. Tramp (“Lady and the Tramp”)
Just put aside his canine species and admit it, Tramp is deserving of his spot at number seven. This scruffy mutt has the classic bad boy image, until he is tamed by the lovely Lady. He is goofy and adventuresome, as well as a romantic, and he can score all the free spaghetti and meatballs you could ever want.

6. Ariel (“The Little Mermaid”)
I must admit, I’m not sure how exactly the logistics of this one would work, but Ariel is certainly worthy of number four, fin or no fin. Her flowing red hair and seashell bikini top, coupled with her beautiful voice and complicated nature, definitely put her among the sexiest of the Disney princesses.

5. Simba (“The Lion King”)
You know you’ve thought about this one too. Something in Matthew Broderick’s voice always gave me a strong desire to frolic through the African jungle with Simba a la “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”. And watching him transform into a man through lion puberty in the Hakuna Matata scene was obviously a treat.

4. Jasmine (“Aladdin”)
This exotic princess refuses to comply with her father’s, the Sultan’s, demands for her to marry. She is headstrong and passionate, both attractive qualities, and the skimpy belly shirt doesn’t hurt either.

3. Belle (“Beauty and the Beast”)
Belle is both brainy and beautiful, and she is always looking for the best in people. Her kindness and classic good looks earn her a place at number three, plus, she’s low maintenance and able to put up with a pretty nasty temper.

2. Moses (“The Prince of Egypt”)
This little known Dreamworks character (surprisingly voiced by Val Kilmer), comes in at number two for his chiseled features and strong determination. And who could forget the scene in the desert in which he strips off his traditional Egyptian wig revealing his messy locks?

1. Aladdin (“Aladdin”)
As Aladdin saunters about Agraba in his revealing purple vest, it’s hard not to notice his extremely defined pecs. He is clever and carefree, and always seems to be up for a good time, earning him the title of number one. And what ride could be sweeter than a magic carpet?
