Animal Sidekicks

I stand corrected; guess it's been too many years since I watched that one. Thanks!

couldn't think of marlins name. I knew it would be him, just couldn't remember it

That's a ridiculous comparison, was Han supposed to be Gilgamesh? Maybe if one of them died fighting a giant space bull I could see it. Also Enki and Gil were both mostly gods, which isn't such a bad thing to be compared to.

You beat me to it, kalba, but you're right. Chewie isn't a human, but Wookies are definitely people.

Whatever he is, "Let the wookie win."

I dunno. Many of the other characters on this list can carry on conversations, make decisions, and even show complex human emotions (dory, marlin, timone, pumbaa, thumper, jaq, gus, donkey). So you could call them "People" as much as you can call Chewbacca a person. It's just splitting hairs, I think any character that's a different species could be considered for this list. (for instance barf from spaceballs)

its not shameful as often the sidekicks are smarter and more loved than the main person

I couldn't agree more. Chewbacca isn't an animal.

I kept searching my memory banks for that name, which I knew I knew - how could anyone ever forget Richard Parker??? Smacks self in face.
