Eeyore
from the book series Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne. He is a pessimistic, gloomy, old donkey who is a friend of Winnie the Pooh. Eeyore's name is a phonetic representation of the donkey's bray: an onomatopoeia, possibly derived from the baby talk name for the animal.
Physically, Eeyore is described as an "old grey donkey". In Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, he appears to be about waist-high to Pooh and about knee-high to Christopher Robin. He has a long tail, of which he is very fond, but also prone to losing. Christopher Robin is able to reattach the tail with a nail.
Emotionally, Eeyore the donkey is perpetually gloomy. He always seems convinced the worst is going to happen, whether or not it does, and even on the rare occasions when he is happy he remains cynical and sarcastic. Nevertheless, he is capable of kind intentions, from his ineffective attempt to help Roo out of the river to his dogged search for a new house for Owl. He seems genuinely appreciative of the efforts of his friends to cheer him up -- for example, when Pooh locates his missing tail, or when they give him birthday presents of a honey jar (empty) and a balloon (accidentally burst).
Eeyore is apparently able to write, or at least recognize letters (such as the letter A that he teaches to Piglet in the fifth chapter of House at Pooh Corner). He spells his own name "eoR" when signing the "rissolution" that the animals give to Christopher Robin as a farewell present in the final chapter of House at Pooh Corner. Eeyore also wrote the awkwardly-rhymed poem (called, simply, "POEM"), which appeared on the "rissolution", making him the only character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books other than Pooh himself who attempts to write poetry. Eeyore is also surprisingly good at the game Poohsticks, winning more times than anyone else when it is played in the sixth chapter of House at Pooh Corner.
Eeyore lives in the southeast corner of the Hundred Acre Wood, in an area labeled "Eeyore's Gloomy Place" on the map in the book. He has a stick house there, called the House at Pooh corner, which Pooh and Piglet built for him after accidentally mistaking the original house that Eeyore built for a pile of sticks.
Eeyore's favorite food is thistles.
Eeyore appears in chapters IV, VI, VIII, and X of Winnie-the-Pooh, and is mentioned in a few others. He also appears in all the chapters of The House at Pooh Corner except chapter VII.
Eeyore's "birthday" was December 25, 1921, when Christopher Robin Milne received him as a Christmas present.

Aladdin. It was the first Disney movie I ever watched, or at least remember watching. I think he is one of the most interesting Disney characters.

I still like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, but my overall complete total favorite would have to be Tigger. He is so cute and funny. I have a Tigger collection nowadays that I just adore.
