I blame this on young Simba being voiced by 90s sexpot Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Okay, so he’s a serious bummer and he accidentally strikes Pocahontas while trying to attack John Smith, but going by looks alone? I will paint with all the colors of the wind - with my tongue on his ab muscles. His chest is the size of the willow tree’s entire trunk. He’s got paw-print tats on his boobs like the rapper Eve and he’s not the movie’s strapping leading man, but who cares? Have you seen Kocoum? What the hell was Pocahontas complaining about? Boy is built. Kocoum from Pocahontas Pocahontas / Amazon Lord knows, if Jessica Rabbit can exist then dudes are fair game too.
There are some obvious choices missing from this list, namely because I tried to focus on pure hotness and disregard any sort of personality exceptions (I see you, Beast, but you’re only hot for like 2 seconds at the end so…) Let’s be shallow. Long before any of us knew what sex was, we felt stirrings in the loins for the drawn boys we saw on our TV and movie screens. Don’t deny you have some long-held nostalgia crushes on these inked fellows.
But really, I’ll take any excuse to turn my day job into Googling pictures of hot cartoons.
