2''Disney Friends'' is a {{Creator/Disney}} Platform/NintendoDS game released in 2007 and developed by Creator/DisneyInteractiveStudios. One fateful night, you've recently been enlisted by [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinker Bell]] to be the caretaker of four very special [[TitleDrop Disney friends]]: [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], [[Franchise/FindingNemo Dory]], Franchise/WinnieThePooh and [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Simba]]. Now at Disney Castle, you have to keep your new friends happy by feeding them, playing with them and going on exciting adventures with them!

10* BigEater: Pooh gets hungry much faster than the other friends and has to be kept happy with a steady supply of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood honey]].
11* ButtMonkey: Dory gets injured fairly easily if you're not watching her: she can get stung by an anemone in her home area, stung by jellyfish if she fails to remember the order Squirt jumped on them and blown up by sea mines during one of Bruce's challenges, causing her to require a first aid kit.
12* TheCameo: WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse appears on the Mickey Collector pin and Mouseketeer Hat, but doesn't make a physical appearance in-game.

15** The hidden Mickey heads and gold in each world.

17** The furniture for the castle is obtained by leveling up your friendships with each friend.
18** The trophies are obtained by reaching the highest friendship rank and completing photo challenges with each friend.
19** Pins for completing various tasks.
