7Disney movies, whether of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon variety or Creator/{{Pixar}} variety, often tend to have very noticeable snarkers. Here are some examples, in alphabetical order.
8
9----
10
11* ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' has Wilhelmina Packard. Her CatchPhrase is, "We're all gonna die".
12-->'''Wilhelmina:''' [[SignsOfDisrepair Whoever took the L from]] [[ToiletHumour the MOTOR POOL sign]]: [[SarcasmMode Ha ha, we're all very amused.]]
13* Lumiere, from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'':
14-->'''Beast:''' You come out or I'll... I'll... I'll break down the door!\
15'''Lumiere:''' Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the girl's affection.
16** The Beast himself has his moments. Bonus points for this one, seeing as he's snarking ''himself''.
17--->'''Lumiere:''' Voila! You look so...so...\
18'''Beast:''' ... Stupid.
19* Apparently it's a Hamada family trait in ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6''.
20** Part of Hiro’s [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark-like]] behavior.
21--->'''Baymax''': I fail to see how flying makes me a better health-care companion.\
22'''Hiro''': I fail to see how you fail to see that it's awesome!
23** Tadashi.
24---> Wow. Washed up at fourteen. So sad.
25** Aunt Cass’s tone of voice implies her snarky personality.
26---> We're gonna feel these things tomorrow. Ya know what I'm saying?
27* Mittens the [[CatsAreSnarkers cat]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}''. It helps that her voice is done by Sussie Essman from ''Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm''.
28-->'''Bolt:''' I will super-bark you out of that tree!\
29'''Mittens:''' Go nuts. Let's see how that works out for ya.\
30'''Bolt:''' You leave me no choice. ''[=Bark!=]''\
31'''Mittens:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, the super-bark. Scary, scary.]]
32* Merida from ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}''. A notable example is her exchanging quips with her father about the three suitors during the tournament.
33* [[BigBad Hopper]] from ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife''.
34-->'''Atta:''' You sure it's not up there? \
35'''Hopper:''' ... are you saying I'm stupid? Do I look stupid to you? Let's just think about the logic, shall we? Let's just think about it for a second. If it was up there, would I be coming down here to your level, ''LOOKING FOR IT?''
36* Lightning [=McQueen=] from the first ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'', [[CharacterDevelopment He got better later on though.]]
37* Drizella and the Prince in ''WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime''.
38* ''Franchise/DisneyFairies'' Vidia fits this trope, and on occasion, it rubs off on Tinker Bell as evidenced here:
39--> '''Vidia:''' ''(to Periwinkle on first meeting her, while putting her arm on Tink's shoulder.)'' A little fairy to fairy advice, Tink can be a bit tricky to get along with at times.
40-->'''Tinker Bell:''' Yeah, look who's talking.
41* Kuzco from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''.
42-->'''Pacha:''' Why did I risk my life for a selfish brat like you? I was always taught that there was some good in everyone, but, oh, you proved me wrong.\
43'''Kuzco''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, boo-hoo. Now I feel really bad. Bad llama.]]\
44'''Pacha:''' I could've let you die out there in that jungle, and then all my problems would be over.\
45'''Kuzco:''' [[{{Jerkass}} Well, that makes you ugly AND stupid.]]
46** And also, as Kuzco is supporting Pacha's whole weight:
47--->'''Kuzco:''' It's a good thing you're not a big fat guy, or this would be REEEEAAAALLLY difficult...
48* ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'':
49** Marlin, who has to take care of resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Dory while trying to find his eponymous son. His hermit personality sure helps his snarking abilities.
50--->'''Dory:''' Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down, do you know what you gotta do?\
51'''Marlin:''' I don't wanna know what you gotta do.
52** In ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'', while Marlin still has some snark (albeit rather toned down because he TookALevelInKindness after the events of the first film), for some reason, the writers decided to give ''Nemo himself'' his [[LikeFatherLikeSon father's snarky attitude]], usually and ironically at Marlin's own expense. [[BrokenBase Fans are divided]] on whether this made him more interesting or hurt his character, and on whether or not he should be portrayed as this in any future films.
53--->'''Fluke:''' That place is the Marine Life Institute. The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.\
54'''Nemo:''' She ''was'' right. [[SarcasmMode It looks like Dory can do something besides forget.]]\
55'''Marlin:''' [[SnarkToSnarkCombat Thank you, Nemo. Thank you for that.]]
56* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''. Kristoff. Well, as you can see here.
57--> '''Kristoff:''' What are you doing?
58-->'''Anna:''' ''(climbs up a steep rock)'' I'm. Going. To see. My sister.
59-->'''Kristoff:''' You're gonna kill yourself.
60-->'''Anna:''' ''(continues to climb)''
61-->'''Kristoff:''' I wouldn't put my foot there.
62-->'''Anna:''' ''(slips)'' You're distracting me!
63-->'''Kristoff:''' Or there.
64-->'''Anna:''' ''(slips)''
65* [[GrumpyOldMan Grunkle Stan]] from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is one of these. Very witty and usually the first to poke fun at the "object of ridicule". [[TheComicallySerious Dipper]] seems to take after him in this regard, as he often puts in his own dry remarks in response to the silliness that happens around him.
66* Hades, Phil, and Megara from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', but especially Hades.
67-->'''Hades:''' So is this an audience or a mosaic?
68** Meg gets some very good lines too:
69--->'''Meg:''' My friends call me Meg. At least they would if I had any friends.
70* Phoebus and Esmeralda from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', but especially Phoebus.
71-->'''Quasimodo:''' Is this the Court of Miracles?\
72'''Phoebus:''' Offhand, I'd say it's the [[DownTheDrain Court of Ankle-deep Sewage.]]
73** Phoebus and Esmeralda even get a bit of SnarkToSnarkCombat together when they're fighting in the Cathedral.
74* Some of the characters in the film ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' and its [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 sequel]], particularly Violet, Frozone and Rick Dicker. For example:
75-->'''Helen Parr:''' I think... your father is in trouble.\
76'''Violet Parr:''' If you haven't noticed, Mom, we're not doing so hot, either.
77* Disgust from ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' is pretty much a living embodiment of this trope, it's transferred to Riley when she's in control
78-->'''Disgust:''' ''[in response to Joy showing the rest of the emotions a slideshow of potential new homes for Riley, one being a gingerbread house]'' Joy, for the last time, she cannot live in a cookie.
79* Bagheera from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'', such as when he doubts Baloo teaching Mowgli everything he knows if he wants to stay in the jungle:
80-->'''Baloo:''' I'll learn him all I know.\
81'''Bagheera:''' [[StealthInsult Well, that shouldn't take very long.]]
82** And when he is talking to Baloo about whether or not to take Mowgli back to human society:
83--->'''Baloo:''' Oh, stop worrying, Baggy! Stop worrying! I'll take care of him.\
84'''Bagheera:''' Yes, like you did when the monkeys kidnapped him, huh?
85* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
86** Shego. In fact, she considers Drakken to be little more than mocking gold.
87--->'''Shego:''' Okay, let's get [[OperationBlank Plan Too-Complicated-To-Actually-Work]] over with.\
88...\
89'''Drakken:''' Would it hurt you to show a little enthusiasm?\
90'''Shego:''' ''[[FlatJoy (deadpan)]]'' Woohoo, extra hoo. Happy?\
91...\
92'''Shego:''' Y'know, for someone who's supposedly a mad genius, I'm not seeing much of the "genius".\
93'''Dr. Drakken:''' Keep it up Shego, and you'll see plenty of the "mad".\
94'''Shego:''' Ooh, scary man.
95*** Fun-fact: Shego wasn't originally planned to be like this, but after the directors realized how much talent her voice actress had in doing the DeadpanSnarker, they changed her whole script.
96** Kim herself also has her moments.
97** Ron is quite snarky too.
98---> '''Ron:''' [''gulps''] Ummm...excuse me [[BuffySpeak scary orb-thing]], where are you taking us?\
99'''Orb 1:''' [[RoboSpeak The Attitude Adjustment Center]]...\
100[''cut to them seeing the building ahead, looking very familiar to them'']\
101'''Kim:''' Isn't that the HighSchool?\
102'''Orb 2:''' [[RoboSpeak Prepare to be drained of]] [[BreakTheHaughty all individuality]] [[BreakTheCutie and spirit]].\
103'''Ron:''' [''[[DeadpanSnarker said in a completely dry and bored tone]]''] Yep... high school.
104** Also, Monkey Fist. His voice certainly helps.
105---> '''Monkey Fist''' ''(said menacingly to a child-hostage staring at him):'' Take a picture. It'll last longer.\
106...\
107'''Monkey Fist:''' Can you two buffoons take this outside?\
108'''Duff Killigan:''' ...At 30,000 feet?\
109'''Monkey Fist:''' Precisely.
110* Scar and Timon from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', but especially Scar.
111-->'''Simba:''' I'm going to be king of Pride Rock!\
112'''Scar:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, goody.]]\
113'''Simba:''' My dad just showed me the whole kingdom, and I'm going to rule it all!\
114'''Scar:''' Yes, well forgive me for not ''leaping'' for joy. Bad back, you know.
115** Zazu can be very dry when he has to babysit Simba and Nala.
116* Ariel's sister Andrina in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidArielsBeginning''
117* Roz from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'':
118-->'''Roz:''' Hello, Wazowski. Fun-filled evening planned for the night?\
119'''Mike:''' Well, as a matter of fact--\
120'''Roz:''' Then I'm sure you've filed your paperwork correctly, for once. (''{{beat}}'') Your [[OhCrap stunned silence]] is ''very'' reassuring.
121* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}''
122** The Emperor.
123---> '''Emperor:''' "See to it that this woman is made a member of my council."
124---> '''Chi Fu:''' ''(stammers)'' "''What?!'' Uh... why, there are no council positions open, Your Majesty. "
125---> '''Emperor:''' "Very well." ''[to Mulan]'' "You can have ''his'' job."
126** Shan Yu has his moments, such as just after his soldiers capture two Chinese scouts:
127---> '''Shan Yu:''' "Good work, gentlemen. You've found the Hun army."
128** And of course, [[ShoulderSizedDragon Mushu]]. Comes with the territory of being voiced by Creator/EddieMurphy.
129* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
130** Candace, although, most of the time, she's not so much "deadpan" as "[[NoIndoorVoice very LOUD]]":
131--->'''Guard:''' There's no yelling allowed.\
132'''Candace:''' Oh, right, it's a museum, I wouldn't want to [[SuddenlyShouting WAKE ANYONE UP!]]
133** Stacy can be like this when paired with Candace. [[OnlySaneMan It's not hard to see why.]]
134** Agent P is a SilentSnarker.
135** Doofenshmirtz himself also has his moments.
136** Linda when Candace tries to bust her brothers and when Candace is a DeadpanSnarker herself.
137** Ferb, with emphasis on "Deadpan".
138** Roger Doofenshmirtz's secretary Melony.
139** One episode has normally cheerful Robot Buddy Norm turn into this to Doofenshmirtz. It leads to this exchange:
140---> '''Norm:''' Oh, how about next time ''you'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext make the potato salad,]] and ''I'll'' make the overly-complicated shemes that always comically backfire?
141---> (beat)
142---> '''Doofenshmirtz:''' Cuttin' deep Norm. You're cuttin' deep.
143* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' . Tiana due to her status as the OnlySaneMan, but a lot of other characters as well.
144-->''(frog appears on the balcony after Tiana wished on a star)''
145--> '''Tiana''': ''(glares at star)'' Very funny. ''(to frog)'' What now? I reckon you want a kiss?
146** And this gem:
147--->'''Naveen''': I fully intend to be rich again. Once I marry miss Charlotte La Bouff if she'll have me.
148--->'''Tiana''': You a prince?
149--->'''Naveen''': Obviously.
150--->'''Tiana''': She'll have you.
151* Krebbs the Koala, from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'':
152-->'''[[KidHero Cody]]:''' Frank, you're free!\
153'''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Frank]]:''' I'm free? I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free!\
154'''Red:''' Shhh... Joanna will hear.\
155'''Krebbs:''' Double or nothing, he's caught in 5 minutes.
156* Grumpy from ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' really lives up to his name. He can be very rude and sarcastic, especially towards Doc.
157* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}''. Flynn. Oh, so much. A large part of the reason why the movie is so entertaining is from Flynn casually snarking at everything as it happens.
158-->'''Rapunzel:''' ''Something'' brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will: fate, destiny--\
159'''Flynn:''' ''(very droll)'' A horse?
160** Pascal almost manages to out-snark Flynn, no mean feat considering [[SilentSnarker he can't talk.]] Maximus the horse gets a decent amount of sarcastic facial expressions as well.
161* [[LargeHam Hamm]], [[ButtMonkey Mr. Potato Head]], and [[TheHero Woody]], (especially in the first movie) from the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' series.
162-->'''Jessie:''' What, you think ''I'' did that? [[note]](Turned on the TV to wake up Al.)[[/note]]\
163'''Woody:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, right, yeah, the TV just HAPPENED to turn on and the remote MAGICALLY ended up in front of YOU!]]\
164'''Jessie:''' You calling me a ''liar''?\
165'''Woody:''' Well, if the boot ''fits''...
166* WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph and his LittleMissSnarker friend Vanellope von Schweetz.
167-->'''Vanellope:''' Why are your hands so freakishly big?
168-->'''Ralph:''' I don't know. Why are you so freakishly annoying?
169** Sgt. Calhoun has shades of this, judging from her rather dry and dark sense of humor.
170** Surge Protector is one as well.
171* [[ConMan Nick Wilde]] from ''{{WesternAnimation/Zootopia}}'', a good {{Foil}} to [[TheIdealist Judy Hopps]].
