I think the third character is Charlotte by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Sagittarius Productions 1973 film “Charlotte’s Web.”
I think the fifth character is Robin Hood of Walt Disney’s 1973 film; Robin Hood.”
LB,
What is it that you think makes “Monster University” and “Despicable Me 2” so popular?
Well i don’t know how popular these films will be per se, but their first films were great because the characters were so likeable. I liked Monsters, Inc. because it made monsters “not so scary”. They are just like us: have families, work, go to school, have hobbies, etc…it was fun to see their view of life and how humans are the “scary” ones.
I just saw Despicable Me 2 and it was good. I liked the first one better. I also saw Monster University and it was great! I loved how it showed all the characters before they met and how their friendships developed. There were lots of little lessons in it like: determination, finding your talents, being kind to others especially if they are different, and work as a team.
I’ll give you a clue for the first two characters:
1) He’s a prince in a movie about a magical horse who is the last of her kind
2) He’s in a film about a little mouse coming to a new land
Oh and here is the third character clue:
1) think plants
