A: Sometimes a supporting player is noticed and becomes popular on his or her own. It did not happen to the characters you listed, though Clarabelle did appear in supporting roles in a number of cartoons and was a regular on the House of Mouse television show. Clarabelle even has a singing/speaking role in Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. And Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream on Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure is a nod to her.

A: The Disney film that is currently highest on the list of movies from all studios, in third place, is Marvel’s The Avengers. Next comes Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, in eighth place. If you adjust for inflation, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs joins the top ten.
