Fan Preferred Couple: Animated Film
  • Quite a few fans think Victor Van Dort from Corpse Bride ended up with the wrong woman and Emily was more compatible with him; at any rate, he'd gotten to know her far more than Victoria.
  • The Secret Of NIMH has Justin and Mrs. Brisby. Some fans tend to mistake Justin's chivalry as romantic advances on the widowed female of another species. A rumored storyboard depicting the two of them kissing only escalated matters (but Don Bluth debunked it as a hoax).
  • In Tinkerbell, Terrence was supposed to be Tink's love interest, but a significant portion of the fandom thought he was a pretty boy caricature, and thought that Tink/Bobble was much more appealing.
  • Kung Fu Panda fans seized on the obvious hints throughout the franchise (especially in Kung Fu Panda 2) and have embraced the Po/Tigress coupling, eager to see it progress.
  • Historically, Rolfe does marry Pocahontas, but fans of the Disney version think she belongs with John Smith (a sentiment that even The Walt Disney Company clearly shares anyway).
  • Within the Goofy related parts of the Disney Animated Canon, there's Max's love life. In A Goofy Movie he was given a girlfriend named Roxanne. In the sequel she doesn't appear, but she pops up in House Of Mouse. Come Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas, and he has a new girlfriend. Undoubtedly, Max/Roxanne is the Fan Preferred Couple and many fans make Fix Fics about this.
  • The An American Tail franchise has the Fan Preferred Couple of Tony and Bridget. Interestingly this was a canon pairing initially, but later Direct-to-Video sequels wrote Bridget completely out of the story with no explanation, and had Tony swooning over an Indian Maiden named Cholena. Fievel and Cholena are also another Fan Preferred Couple, sharing adorable Duet Bonding at one point in the movie (and this pairing is also helped by fans who prefer Tony staying with Bridget).
  • Fanfic writers love shipping Nico and Pedro from Rio.
  • Littlefoot/Ali is pretty popular in the The Land Before Time fandom.
  • A combination of Foe Yay and an eventual mutual respect has made Rattlesnake Jake and Rango this.
  • Fans of Bolt ship Bolt and Mittens due to their heartwarming friendship in the film.
  • Despite Word Of God saying they wanted Dusty and Ralph to be the Official Couple in Balto, most fans prefer to pair Dusty with Kodi instead.
  • Felidae has Francis/Felicity. Which might have happened in canon had Felicity not been gruesomely beheaded.
  • Some fans of Paprika have lots of trouble accepting that Chiba loves Tokita, and would rather have had her end up with Konakawa. This ignores how the fake ending with Konakawa and Chiba kissing in the sunset is supposed to be making fun of trite, cliché movie endings, which implies that pairing them together would have made for a really, really bland and predictable ship.
  • Para Norman has very questionable one - Norman and Aggie. Some find the Shipping weird because they are related, but it is also justified because of three hundred years of genetic separation. Also, the song Little Ghost in the credits really enforces it.
  • While Lucille ends up with Raoul in A Monster In Paris, many fans prefer her with Cute Monster Francoeur instead, even though Word Of God says they are Like Brother and Sister.
  • In Rise Of The Guardians, Jack and Bunnymund is the most popular as seen by the most amount of fan works devoted to them.
