Created by ScreenLife Games, Disney Bingo is a high-tech (and fun) twist to the game of bingo. Ah yes, the same game that helps pass those rainy days. The fun thing about Disney’s offering is that it has an automated callout system, which means that everyone can join in on the fun. Given that your favorite Disney characters are included in the gameplay too would be a feature that children would simply love; and for the rest ‘older people’, would take them down the memory lane recalling their favorite Disney cartoon characters. For instance, here’s my list of Top 15 Disney characters:

  1. Timon (Berkowitz) & Pumbaa (Smith): Yup, that’s their last names. Betcha didn’t know that! I just love this duo, Timon’s constant selfishness, and Pumbaa’s simple-minded nature (and farting). Especially in Lion King 1 1/2. I’d probably say they are my fave characters from the Disney universe.
  2. Genie (again from the Aladdin series): Definitely the next funniest character after Timon & Pumbaa! When I used to watch the Aladdin cartoon series, he was one of the high points of the show.
  3. Iago (from the Aladdin series): Another loud-mouthed and totally selfish character, but his wisecracks are funny.
  4. Rafiki (from the Lion King): Rafiki, the ascetic baboon, with his life-affirming advice. Although he didn’t get much screen time on most of the Lion King movies, whatever little he did was memorable.
  5. Donald Duck: The topmost among my favorites from the Big Three. The way he gets angry at the slightest provocation and does that weird little jumping-up-and-down hopping mad is just. so. funny.
  6. Phineas & Ferb: A new series which Disney started this year, the adventures of the two brothers doing stuff next-to-impossible is worth watching. Which brings me to the next person on the list…
  7. …Candace Flynn (from Phineas & Ferb): I used to thing Dee-Dee would walk away with the title of Most Annoying Toon Sister, but Candace Flynn (Phineas’ brother) beats her to it. The fact that Ashley Tisdale voices the character also makes her…ahem…more ‘interesting’.
  8. Perry The Platypus & Dr Doofenschmirtz (also from Phineas & Ferb): The constant bickering between the super-spy platypus (who “doesn’t do much”) and his arch rival who plans to terrorize the ‘entire tri-State area’ has me ROFL, especially with its predictable sub-plot which is such a good bad PJ.
  9. Uncle Scrooge (from Duck Tales): Unca’ Scrooge’s love of swimming in money must only be rivaled by Cartman. Haven’t seen this toon for a long time, but way back when I was small they used to show this (they no longer do) – and it was one of my favorites.
  10. Pete (from Goof Troop): Yes, he makes it to the list before Goofy. And that’s because of those classic expressions he showed when he used to have his ‘pranks’ foiled by…
  11. …Goofy!: Dumb Goofy, and his yaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey yodel (and ahiya-ho-hoho-ho) – generally initiated by some ‘evil plan’ by Pete.
  12. Baloo (from the Tail Spin): The slacker cargo pilot from the TV series cartoon, not the one from the original movie classic.
  13. Launchpad (from Duck Tales): Another pilot on the list, this time, the character who flew aircraft for Uncle Scrooge.
  14. The Vultures (from Jungle Book): OK, weird choice yes, but I did like those characters in the original movie.
  15. The Seven Dwarfs: Favorite among them? Doc.



Ah, just typing these out reminds me of old times. Playing them in the game itself would be pretty interesting, with the game even incorporating movie clips into the gameplay in a way which doesn’t complicate the whole thing. The Disney DVD Bingo game is available on Amazon too, BTW. So…which are your Top 5 favorite Disney characters?
