Top Ten Hottest Disney Characters: #5

#5 Hottest Disney Female: Esmeralda (The HUnchback of Notre Dame, 1996)

Esmerelda is just pure sex bomb.  Seriously, just look at her… mysterious* olive skin, sparkling emerald eyes, flowing raven hair and hips so honest they even give Shakira a run for her money.  Not counting Jessica Rabbit who is LITERALLY a cartoon character, Esmerelda is, by far, the most sensual of all Disney women. So much so, in fact, that she leaves three men smitten at first sight.  First, there’s Quasimodo whose deformities immediately get him friend-zoned.  Then, there’s Phoebus who is just hunky enough to find his attraction reciprocated.  And, finally, there’s Frollo whose lust is so overwhelming it almost takes down the Catholic Church and, in turn, inspires a delightful little ditty called “Hellfire”.

*Esmerelda is of Romani descent or what was then commonly referred to as a Gypsy.  Although, Gypsies are not Egyptian which was the belief at the time; they are actually of Indian origin.

#5 Hottest Disney Male: John Clayton (Tarzan, 1999)

I will probably get many to argue this one, especially with how high he placed on the list.  However, I have always been drawn to Clayton (pun not intended). He is one of the buffest men in Disney history! Perhaps it's the accent, or maybe the broad shoulders and huge chest, but Clayton is ridiculously hot for an old dude. He wasn't necessarily supposed to be attractive for the movie, but who can resist the salt and pepper hair? And can you imagine how hard it is to stay in such great form, especially when you're older? Come on! Clayton also has that confidence that would probably work on women if he wasn't such a terrible human being. I had a hard time just finding a still of him without his elephant gun. It's too bad; his stupid, blind quest for money and power is his major downfall (in the film and on this list).
