Disney has always created beloved (and despised) cartoon characters. But growing up, most of us were exposed to a steady diet of well-known cartoon characters that had little to do with India, either geographically or culturally.
We have gained valuable life lessons about love, friendship, power, and living happily ever after from characters like the cute Micky mouse, the heroic Mulan , and the legendary Cruella De Vil.
On-screen representation has been a hot discourse topic over the past few years. Despite some recent advances, there is still much work to be done. According to what we can determine, Indian representation is unquestionably underrepresented.
Particularly given that we may state that the collective does not now include any Indian Disney princesses. We are confident that the day will come when this becomes a reality, but let’s hope Disney will take notice of this as soon as possible.
As we travel down memory lane to determine who the greatest Disney characters of all time are, let nostalgia give you butterflies in the stomach. Here are the best 25 Indian Disney characters of all time.
1. Mowgli (The Jungle Book)
Rudyard Kipling wrote the original text, which is a collection of tales with the predominant undercurrent of abandonment. You’ll notice that the majority of our memorable characters are drawn from The Jungle Book’s Disney rendition. Our primary character, Mowgli , has a motivational tale of tenacity and survival.
Mowgli (The Jungle Book) credits grungepic
He is first seen at the beginning of the narrative, floating aimlessly along a river until Bagheera, the black panther, discovers him and takes him to a group of wolves.
He is raised by the wolves as one of them and believes that he is one. When Shere Khan, a tiger who doesn’t think Mowgli should be allowed to remain with the wolves, discovers that he is still with the pack, he sets out to find him. Mowgli learns the ways of the forest and how to survive.
2. Bagheera (The Jungle Book)
Mowgli was discovered by the black panther Bagheera, who decided to look for him until he could be reunited with his human companions. After hearing many arguments against it, the young panther nevertheless chose to look after the youngster after discovering him in the river.
Bagheera entrusted him with the wolves and frequently visited him, trying to teach as much knowledge as he could. Bagheera is shown as a wise character. The panther is one of the most sensible animals in the forest, intelligent and level-headed. Bagheera loves the man-cub very much but is also quickly irritated and cannot stand foolishness.

In particular, whether Mowgli should stay in the forest or go back to the Man Village to live with his kind would lead to some pretty acrimonious disputes between the two. Occasionally, Bagheera’s temper causes him to lose his sense of reason, leading to irresponsible actions like leaving Mowgli in the forest despite being aware of the dangers there.
However, he is fast to change and frequently finds himself back by Mowgli’s side. He is a loyal ally who prioritizes the safety of those who are important to him. He quickly recovers, though, and frequently finds himself back by Mowgli’s side.
He is a dedicated ally who prioritizes the safety of those who are important to him. He is undoubtedly a more responsible character than Baloo the bear, who would also keep them company. They would frequently debate who had the better strategy, and Baloo was more of a “go with the flow” type of character.
3. Baloo (The Jungle Book)
Baloo’s laid-back, friendly nature is an obvious way to describe him. The sloth bear is recognized for his beliefs of staying calm as much as possible and preventing the demands and responsibilities of life from holding one down, as vocalized through his song, “The Bare Necessities,” in which he frequently speaks in a quiet, silky tone.
Baloo (The Jungle Book) credits animationsources
The wise panther Bagheera calls him a “jungle bum”—a pointless animal who spends all of his time relaxing, eating, scratching his back, and engaging in other basic activities that are typically associated with laziness.
Baloo has a big heart and frequently shares his ideals—which are seen to have successfully led him to a happy lifestyle—with others, including Mowgli the man-cub, in an effort to spread the happiness he has been fortunate enough to experience. Baloo is lazy, stubborn, and unprepared for true responsibility, but he also lacks these traits.
4. Shanti (The Jungle Book)
Shanti is a young girl who is depicted as living in a community next to a jungle. When Mowgli first entered the human world, he was taken there. She plays a supporting role in the first movie, but she plays a major role in the second Jungle Book movie.
Although she only had a little part in the first movie, Mowgli falls in love with her, and she ends up being one of the key reasons why he stays among humans. Her side of the relationship is mutual. She undoubtedly has feelings for Mowgli, but she is hesitant to express them.
Shanti(The Jungle Book) credits DeviantArt
They complement one another perfectly. Mowgli is exceedingly playful and disobedient, in contrast to Shanti, who is quite responsible and observes the rules.
They develop and learn from one another. For instance, even though Shanti is terrified of all wild animals, she yet decides to help Mowgli when she learns that he has been abducted. Even after the close call with Kaa, who nearly devoured her.
5. Shere Khan (The Jungle Book)
Even though Shere Khan plays a villain in the movie, we learn why he despises Mowgli. He hates people because so many other people have destroyed the jungle by passing through it. They would enter the jungle with their weapons and fire, destroying large portions of it and displacing countless animals.
Although Shere Khan doesn’t show it, he is an outsider in his own right; thus, in a way, he shares some of Mowgli’s worries. He is feared by all, and his egotism is what motivates him to act in the way he does.
Shere Khan (The Jungle Book) credits alternatending
He worries that if anyone learns about his sensitive side, they will either become hostile toward him or lose all respect for him. Interestingly, when he was younger, Bagheera, Baloo, Louis, and Kaa were all his buddies, and they all got to know his gentle side. Unfortunately, his ego won out in the end.
6. Kaa (The Jungle Book)
Kaa is a sneaky, cunning Indian Rock Python. He uses a soothing, sometimes seductive voice to either entice his victims into a sleepy, dreamy condition or trick them into giving him their trust before devouring them astray.
His renowned ability to charm his prey with his eyes, turning them into enchanted beings under his control, furthers this. Kaa, a dreaded jungle dweller, has a strong and lethal ability. This was demonstrated when Bagheera, who is often calm and fearless, cried out to the panther after he stopped eating Mowgli out of obvious terror.
Kaa (The Jungle Book) credits animationsources
However, Shere Khan, the tiger, the chosen king of the jungle, do not share such terror. Khan is disliked by Kaa because she sees him as a hypocrite and thinks it is despicable to kill for fun rather than for survival. Although Shere Khan sees Kaa as the “eyes and ears” of the jungle and occasionally relies on him to help in his quest for Mowgli in the movie, the two monsters are frequently at odds.
7. Priya Mangal (Turning Red)

The narrative takes place in the later part of 9 AD, during the Roman era of Germania Magna. The Germanic tribes were oppressed by the Roman empire’s high taxation and tribute demands during their twenty-year occupation of the area.
