38 Characters That Were Oddly Hot Even Though They Were Animated
Human? Animal? For some reason it didn't really matter.
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what animated characters sparked their sexual awakening. Here are the characters that left the biggest impact:
1. Robin Hood from Robin Hood

I was SO obsessed with him when I was little. I would pretend to be Maid Marian and tell everyone I was going to marry him. My parents ended up taking me to a renaissance fair and I actually got to meet Robin Hood. Needless to say, I was SHOOK when I found out he was just some old, sweaty guy in tights and not my charming fox. I took off my flower crown and cried the whole way home. BLECH
2. Danny Phantom from Danny Phantom

I loved his smirk.
3. Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender

I thought he was so handsome. He had such an emotional backstory, I was like, “It’s OK, I’ll help you get through your pain. I’ll be your shoulder to cry on.”
4. Li Shang from Mulan

...DADDY.
5. Shego from Kim Possible

Duh.
6. Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire

There's a reason my type is exclusively hot nerds with glasses.
7. Raven from Teen Titans

I was absolutely in love with her. So much so that I would always pretend to be her while playing Teen Titans with my friends.
8. Shaggy Rogers from Scooby Doo

Honestly, I have no idea why, but Shaggy Rogers from Scooby Doo! I liked him wayyy more than Fred.
9. Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru Chiba from Sailor Moon

I had such a huge crush on Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru from Sailor Moon even though he never did a damn thing except throw a rose and frequently get brainwashed, but there was something so sexy about him.
10. Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

His little smile and his hair just really turned me on. He's also who awakened my kink for piercings on men.
11. Tommy Pickles from All Grown Up!

12. Peter Pan from Peter Pan
There was something about his boyish charm and desire for adventure that sent my young heart soaring.
13. Max from Goof Troop

I tell people my first celebrity crush was Uncle Jesse from Full House because I want to avoid the awkwardness of confessing my love for an anthropomorphic dog, but here I am.
14. Megara from Hercules

Her “I don’t need a man” attitude made tiny queer me blush. Still does.
15. Jafar from Aladdin

Super embarrassing. In that scene towards the end where he has Jasmine as his prisoner, I wanted to be Jasmine!
16. Tarzan from Tarzan

He literally only wore a loin cloth.
17. Zarbon from Dragon Ball Z

Was never quite the same after the "Frieza Saga."
18. Jake Long from American Dragon: Jake Long

In both human and dragon form. I still don’t know why I was so infatuated with him, but I would literally dream about him leaving his girlfriend on the show for me, lol.
19. Sinbad from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

20. Trent from Daria

Omg! What a babe!!!
21. Debbie Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys
22. Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog

23. Young Hercules from Hercules

Hercules was hot af before he glowed up.
24. Gadget Hackwrench from Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers

Smart and cute to boot. Also those blue eyes! 10-year-old me was woken up!
25. The Hex Girls from Scooby Doo

Mainly Thorn, though.
26. Kovu from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

The green eyes and cockiness. He was such a “bad boy," then he got so sweet and funny with Kiara. Ugh I’m still crushing on him.
27. Marshall Lee from Adventure Time

I don’t understand how an animated character can be so hot.
28. Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid

Dimples, loved dogs, and had a sense of adventure. Hot.
29. Brian Griffin from Family Guy

The way he sang and how funny he was...omg its so embarrassing, lol.
30. Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet

Ughhhhh. Damn if I didn't always have the hots for him. I'm not an overly go-getter with romance in real-life, but I'd be going after a real life Jim Hawkins without a doubt.
31. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast

The hairy chest, the big arms, and the "manliness" all really got to me!
32. Balto from Balto

His big, wolfy paws and love for Jenna totally transmitted big dick energy.
33. John Smith from Pocahontas

Them brows.
34. Dimitri from Anastasia

Still the hottest man I’ve ever seen.
35. Garrett from Quest for Camelot

I had a MAJOR crush on Garrett. He's voiced by the Cary Elwes, who played Wesley from "The Princess Bride" and has an AMAZING solo halfway through the movie. Wicked sense of humor as well.
36. Roger from from 101 Dalmatians

I thought he was sooo sexy.
37. Helga Sinclair from Atlantis

She was a complete bombshell and a complete badass.
38. Robin from Teen Titans
I always thought he was the hottest male Titan.
