Disney Characters That Start With L: Iconic Names

The huge cast of Disney characters stretching from Mickey Mouse to Pinocchio, and Beauty and the Beast to Monsters, Inc. means there are so many to remember, so let’s look at some of the most iconic characters with a name starting with L.

1. Lady (Lady and the Tramp)

The protagonist of the film, after her owners Jim and Darling have a baby, she gets put with an aunt who has cats. Lady’s strong personality doesn’t quite gel with the cats, and she is thus muzzled.

A sassy and sweet, American Cocker Spaniel, Lady is quite the contrast to Tramp.

After escaping and meeting some stray dogs including Tramp, who takes off the muzzle, she forms a close relationship with the scruffy and homeless dog.

He eventually quits the job after finding out about Remy through Linguini’s revelations.

4. Lampwick (Pinocchio)

A street urchin, he becomes friendly with Pinocchio as they’re both shipped off to Pleasure Island.

A mischievous rascal, he likes to break the law and is seen drinking and causing criminal damage. He doesn’t seem to mind doing these things, instead it seems quite fun for him. 

He has bright red hair and protruding teeth, and is quite lanky, although he does end up being turned into a donkey like all boys sent to Pleasure Island.

5. Lanky Schmidt (Monsters, inc.)

A creature that is basically all long limbs and has a tiny square body, the top half of which is his ‘head’, Lanky used to work at Monsters, Inc. as a scarer. 

Having fully bought into the lie that the children are dangerous and toxic, upon seeing Boo while eating at a restaurant, he instead claims that the child flew around and used laser vision to blast a car.

6. Laverne (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame)

One of the anthropomorphic gargoyles that lives at Notre-Dame, is a wise character who looks after Quasimodo, giving him timely advice.

She is a useful counterweight to the sometimes over the top hysteria and comedy of Victor and Hugo, and she insults them due to not thinking that highly of them.

She often gets pestered by pigeons who enjoy roosting on her.

7. Laurel Lightfoot (Onward)

Mother of Ian and Barley, after losing her husband to an illness she moved on with Colt Bronco.

She is fiercely protective of her sons and is their rock, helping them through tough times through comfort and advice. She’s not too happy about all the dangerous questing that is going on, but realizes it’s part of life.

8. Lawrence (The Princess and the Frog)

Prince Naveen’s royal valet until he got sick of the constant belittling and disrespect, he then joined forces with the evil Dr Facilier.

Easily manipulated, Lawrence is not particularly evil per se, but definitely allows greed and appeals to vanity to influence him to perform villainous acts.

9. Lefou (Beauty and the Beast)

Gaston’s accident-prone sidekick, he is short and slightly overweight with a strange set of teeth.

10. Lefty (Meet the Robinsons)

A cyclops purple octopus and the Robinson’s butler, he often frightens guests when he opens the door and pokes his huge, bulbous head out.

Appearing as both a 12-year old and 42-year old, he is the protagonist who has been gifted with incredible intelligence.

However, he is an orphan who is sorely lacking in confidence and gets downtrodden immediately when one of his brilliant creations doesn’t work as well as he wants.

Luckily, he has a time machine that he can use to undo some mistakes, and his future self is a lot more self-assured.

12. Libba Gardner (Soul)

Radiator Springs formed the scene for McQueen’s arrest after he destroyed their main road, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise and he ended up building his headquarters there.

15. Lilo Pelekai (Lilo and Stitch)

An orphaned Hawaiian girl, she lives with her sister Nani. Her outgoing and somewhat eccentric personality alienates her from almost all her friends. To call them friends is also not exactly accurate as they spend all their time mocking and belittling her.

Eventually she meets Stitch, an illegal genetic experiment. Adopting him and thinking he is a dog, the two have some friction due to the latters destructiveness.

However, Lilo’s ownership of Stitch prevents him being put in jail by intergalactic aliens, and the two form a close bond as Lilo finds that the two share a lot in common.

A male lion with an impressive dress sense, he is one of the few characters who is more than happy to have everyone be anything they want to be, and not showing the bigotry against certain species or the predator/prey distinction.
