Junior Disney Heroes/Princes

Princes/Heroes
The Junior Disney Princes  (also known as Heroes)  are an official line-up of 14 male protagonists and deuteragonists  who are the love-interests of the Junior Disney Princesses

Official Heroes
Pinocchio  is the main protagonist from  the 1940 film of the same name. He is a living puppet who must prove himself worthy to become a real boy, with the help of  Jiminy Cricket  as his conscience. Walt Disney  and his crew used a marionette model and child actor  Dickie Jones, who voiced Pinocchio in the movie, to animate the character.

Peter Pan  is the main protagonist in the  1953 film of the same name, and the one of the 2 protagonists (the other being Jane) of  its 2002 sequel. Peter travels from the enchanted isle of  Never Land  all the way to  London  just to hear  Wendy Darling  spin tales about him and his adventures. While his ego may seem inflated at times, even his arch-nemesis,  Captain Hook, knows that Peter's no ordinary boy. He can fly without wings and  match  Hook's cutlass with nothing more than a dagger. He's also the undisputed leader of the  Lost Boys  and allows no breaks in ranks. Time makes little difference to him; when you never grow up, life is nothing but fun, whimsy and adventure. He was voiced by  Bobby Driscoll  in the original film and currently voiced by  Blayne Weaver.



Arthur Pendragon, better known as  Wart , is the main protagonist from Disney's 1963 feature film  The Sword in the Stone. In the film, Arthur is an orphan boy who becomes King of England. He was voiced by three voice actors (Rickie Sorensen, Richard Reitherman, and Robert Reitherman), which leads to noticeable changes in Arthur's voice throughout the film.

Taran  is the main protagonist of  The Black Cauldron. He was voiced by Grant Bardsley. He  is headstrong and courageous, though occasionally foolhardy, and harbors an intense desire to prove his worth and heroism through noble acts. Indeed, much of the movie centers on Taran's search for his own worth. Taran was a foundling discovered by  Dallben, the enchanter and farmer. As Taran grew up, he became restless and longed for adventures beyond the borders of  Caer Dallben. His time would eventually come when, just after being granted the position of Assistant Pig Keeper for  Hen Wen, Dallben's oracular pig, the animal escapes her enclosure.



Rei  is the  male  protagonist of the manga series,  Kilala Princess. He is the throne prince of the mystical land Paradiso. After his kingdom was rebelled by a collection of dangerous robots, he is brainwashed by Valdou and loses his memories as a prince, and is sent to other countries to search for the princess of the  Magic Tiara.

Cody  is an 8-year-old boy from Australia and the deuteragonist (and false protagonist) in Disney's  1990  film  The Rescuers Down Under, sequel to the  1977  film  The Rescuers. With his  pocket knife, Cody rescued  Marahute , the golden eagle, from being tied up in ropes. He later gets abducted by the evil poacher  Percival C. McLeach  who threatens him to reveal the whereabouts of Marahute. Cody is the male equivalent to  Penny  from  The Rescuers. He is also voiced by  Adam Ryen, who also did his voice in the  Norwegian  version.



Jim Hawkins  is the main protagonist of Disney's  2002  feature film Treasure Planet. He is voiced by  Joseph Gordon-Levitt  as a teenager and Austin Majors as a little boy. He  is a very adventerous, caring young lad. During the beginning of the film he was a stereotypical, alienated teenager, constantly in trouble and "like a stranger" to his mother Sarah. In the DVD's Visual Commentary, the directors said that to emphasize Jim's "Bad Boy" reputation, they added the black jacket, and the shadow or "eye-mask" over his eyes. By the end of the movie, however, he no longer wears the jacket, and the eye-mask is gone. At first Jim is stoic and guarded, but as time goes on, he begins to open up.



Sora  is the main protagonist of Square Enix's best-selling  Kingdom Hearts  series. Introduced in the series' first game in 2002, Sora is a cheerful teenager who originates from Destiny Islands and has been best friends with  Riku  and  Kairi  since  early childhood. When they plan to go on a journey to see other worlds, they are separated by creatures known as Heartless. Fighting them, Sora obtains a weapon called the  Keyblade, which makes  Donald Duck  and  Goofy  recruit him in their journey across various worlds to aid  King Mickey , while Sora searches for his friends, who were sucked in by the darkness. In the meantime, the trio protect the worlds they visit from various villains. Sora has also made supporting appearances in a few games from the series, and reprised his role in manga and novel adaptations of the games.



Rancis Fluggerbutter  is a character in  Wreck-It Ralph. He is one of the  racers  from  Sugar Rush, and he is also one of the children who had bullied  Vanellope  for her status as a glitch. He is part of a large group of children, but seemed to usually be with  Taffyta  and  Candlehead. He is associated with peanut butter cups and drives a chocolate vehicle called the Kit Kart, a parody of the  Kit Kat bar. But now he is friends with Vanellope and he is her love interest.



Jacob Hutchinson, or  Jake  or short, is a young pirate boy who is under the wings of  Peter Pan  and serves as the main protagonist in the  Disney Junior  2011 television series  Jake and the Never Land Pirates , and was voiced by Colin Ford, and later by  Cameron Boyce.



Mermando  is a beautiful  merman  who became stuck at the Gravity Falls pool. Mermando is described as a loner, due to not wanting others to know of his nature as a merman, though enjoys having fun with those who know of his true form. He is polite with an easy sense of humor, often making self-deprecating comments. He tends to be dramatic, often playing his guitar for effect. He is very close with his family and loves them very much, and he nears  depression  when separated from them. He tries to be optimistic and is easily impressed and persuaded.



Dipper Pines  is the slightly younger twin brother of  Mabel Pines, is a curious, clever, inventive 12-year-old and the main protagonist in the  Disney Channel  animated series,  Gravity Falls. With his sister Mabel along for the ride, he dares to uncover the secrets of the mysterious, sleepy town of  Gravity Falls.

Randy Cunningham  is the Main Protagonist of Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja.He is a 9th grade  student  and the current  Norrisville Ninja  at Norrisville High. He  is an average high-schooler who tries to fit in and be cool. There are many times where he tries doing risky things that could possibly get him into a lot of trouble, like busting  Bash's party  ( House of 1,000 Boogers ), spitting in a volcano ( Monster Dump ), and using the ninja powers to fix  a science project  ( Dawn of the Driscoll ). Often he forgets that his actions have consequences, which can accidentally or purposely result in major problems for himself and the people around him. As time goes on, though, he realizes when the situation is his fault, and takes responsibility to fix it as much as possible. He always struggles to do what's right over his own desires, but he more often then not goes with the former. His sense of responsibility and sacrifice has increased throughout the series.

Slightly is the second in command. Slightly wears a fox costume and is shown to be the oldest member (and the tallest) of the Lost Boys. In the book series it is revealed that Slightly's real name is James. His surname is never revealed. He is a new addition to the Junior Disney Princes/Hero line up, and he will accompany Jane in many Junior Disney Princess merchandise with her and the other heroes with their love interests.

King Jackson Crabgrass is a fan-fictional character from Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja. His Lady Staci Crabgrass was The Ninjette before his cousin Princess Kitty McFist who happens to be a Junior Disney Princess. He was upgraded to The King instead of The Prince of Ninchantiss because his father The Messenger has to fufill duties for The First Ninja. So Jack becomes the Yellow Ninja by The Royal Ninja Council.
