Gill from Finding Nemo

PDF download Download Article
  1. AKA, the "hot fish."
    He's large (for a fish) and in charge, and he's got an alluring scar over one eye—and, as we noticed in our list of wikiHow readers' top "hear me outs," facial scars tend to be a recurring feature among animated crushes. Hmm….[1]

Optimus Prime from Transformers

PDF download Download Article
  1. 50% truck, 50% extra terrestrial, 100% heartthrob.
    While he's stern and no-nonsense on the surface, underneath, Optimus Prime has a sensitive soul that's been weathered by centuries of war and grief. He's…kind of a daddy.

Alastor from Hazbin Hotel

PDF download Download Article
  1. Is it crazy? Yes. Is it rare? No.
    Alastor, aka the Radio Demon, is sinfully alluring and very, very red. He's got rizz to spare, which probably explains why so many people on the internet shamefully admit to having a crush on him.

Gloria from Madagascar

PDF download Download Article
  1. Hey, we could have said King Julian.
    That would be really unhinged, IMO. But Gloria the hippo, voiced by Jada Pinkett Smith, is full of sass and sensitivity in equal measure, and aside from the fact that she's, y'know, a hippopotamus, we actually totally get this one.[2]
5

Barry B. Benson from Bee Movie

PDF download Download Article
  1. Bzz bzz bzz!
    Barry B. Benson, voiced by Jerry Seinfeld, is canonically a "hear me out" already (that woman in the movie is in love with him, right?), so it makes sense that he'd be on the internet's list of forbidden movie crushes. Still—and we can't emphasize this enough—we disapprove. He is a bee.[3]

Nick Wilde from Zootopia

PDF download Download Article
  1. It was a toss-up between Nick Wilde and Robin Hood.
    There's just something about animated foxes that gets people all hot and bothered, apparently. But Nick's also charmingly wry and sarcastic—who could resist the rizz?
    • Did you know that, according to wikiHow readers, Nick Wilde is THE number-one "hear me out"? Try our "hear me out" analyzer to vote for your faves and see what your choice in fictional boos says about you….

Varang from Avatar: Fire and Ash

PDF download Download Article
  1. OK, we get it, the Na'vi are cool as heck. But Varang?
    The violent and sadistic leader of the Mangkwan? Sure. Makes sense.

Bernard from The Santa Clause

PDF download Download Article
  1. This one will take 0 millennials by surprise.
    In the Tim Allen Santa Clause-verse, Bernard (played by the adorable David Krumholtz) is the head-elf at the North Pole. Don't you just want to cuddle up and share some of Judy's special hot cocoa together?
9

Ogre Fiona from Shrek

PDF download Download Article
  1. Not human Fiona, ogre Fiona.
    This one, we can get down with. Ogre Fiona is the "real" Fiona, the one who's not afraid to be herself—even if it doesn't match society's idea of what she "should" look like. Rock on.

EVE from WALL-E

Flats the Flounder from SpongeBob SquarePants

PDF download Download Article
  1. Do you want him to kick YOUR butt?
    If your "type" is "kite-shaped green bullies with crazy eyes," then we get this one. But we suspect that's a pretty small demographic.

Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Pros: human, not a cartoon. Cons: do we have to say it?
    He's a killer, guys. A literal cannibal killer. But you know what, we can't totally judge. He's got charm. He's got culture. And he mimics the sound of someone slurping on a census-taker's liver so well.
    • Ever wonder which chaotic evil character you're most like? Are you Hannibal Lecter, or someone else? Take the quiz to find out!

Yan Luo Wang Diyu from That's Not My Neighbor

PDF download Download Article
  1. It's the extra teeth, right?
    Yan Luo Wang Diyu from the game That's Not My Neighbor is an unexpected addition to this list—but honestly, once we heard her mentioned, we were like, "You know what? OK." Sure, she's got crazy cheek-teeth and no pupils, but we're here for it.

Mileena from Mortal Kombat

PDF download Download Article
  1. Again, we ask: it's the extra teeth, right?
    Not only does she have razor-sharp chompers, but she's also cruel, violent, unforgiving…basically, everything you could ever want in another person, right?
15

The Red Guy from Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared

PDF download Download Article
  1. You've probably been working really hard to forget you saw that video.
    Sorry for reminding you. But the red guy (does he have a name?) with the mop hair from the infamous YouTube series does have a certain je ne sais quoi about him. Plus, he's very creative. That's always a bonus.

Thrax from Osmosis Jones

  1. His rizz is—dare we say?—contagious.
    Thrax's dedication to being the deadliest disease in human history is…well, kind of alarming, but we love a man with goals.

Waluigi from Mario Bros.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Wa-lu-i-gi! Wah-wah-wah!
    Luigi's tall, lanky, and purple-clad doppelganger, Waluigi is characterized by his mischievousness and his envy of the Mario Bros. And aren't mischievousness and envy the most attractive qualities in a person?
19

SCP-096

PDF download Download Article
  1. For the girls who won't settle for a guy under 6 feet tall.
    This SCP is known for his ghostly white, lanky figure and his dedication to ripping apart his enemies. Yes, he cries and screams whenever you look at him, but he's just shy! God forbid a man be sensitive….
