‘90s Movie Side Characters That Captured Our Hearts

There are always going to be side characters we remember more than others. We can look back at the animated movies to see how important they are. Chip and Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast remain firm favorites, and there’s no doubt that they became must-haves when it came to merchandise.

Timon and Pumbaa are technically side characters in The Lion King, as the story centers around Simba and his journey to become the new king. Yet, the meerkat and warthog duo made a saying iconic, and they helped us all figure out how to live life a little more stress-free. Didn’t “Hakuna Matata” become a generation’s mantra?

When it comes to the live-action movies, Oda Mae Brown will always be one we look forward to watching. Whoopi Goldberg’s Ghost character is hilarious. At first, she’s selfish, and we have to question what her end goal is, but in the end, she steals each scene she’s in, and she becomes the heart of the movie.

Clueless had some great minor characters, but there’s one that will always stand out: Travis Birkenstock. There’s always something about the skater stoner type that draws us in with ‘90s movies, but Travis won our hearts as he fell for Tai. We wanted nothing more than to see him succeed.

It goes without saying that 1990s knew how to do minor characters well.
