A random thing that kinda popped into my mind.
It is sure that Mushu gets a lot of attention In-Movie. Almost a little too much according to the regisseurs.
What about the other Sidekicks?
The closest ones that I could think of are Timon and Pumbaa and the Gargoyles (well, from Quasi's side).
I also kinda feel like saying Jimminy here, but It's been forever since I saw that movie so I can't judge that one
All of the other sidekicks are pretty... downgraded.
Genie?
Well is Genie a sidekick? I'd say he's just a darn funny Main character actually. And Iago and Abu get loved by the fans, yet they don't get all too much attention from the Movie cast themselves and this is what I wanna talk about here ^^
Which of the characters have the greatest INFLUENCE on the Mains?
- and besides Iago also raises the topic of the "Antiheroes", something inside me tells me that Mushu's selfishness kinda brings him into that category as well.
Keyquote: "I risked your life to help myself" <- not really heroic
But you see, I ramble and I get from the intentional topic, just because this intentional topic is... big to browse in.
Also I kinda feel bad for Crikee, of course after the massive fail at the Matchmakers where he seriously got his most credit ever, he gets some funny uh... 'lines'(?) to do with Mushu, but you might get what I mean when I say that Mushu is the dominant sidekick there, simply because you cannot understand a word Cri-kee says and even if Cri-kee cracks a joke, most of the time it'll land by Mushu, because he's the one who actually translates it to the audience.
He hasn't really much to do with Mulan In-person afterwards as well.
