Agreed. I also think 'Brave' would be a tremendous basis for a campaign.
Obviously, Rapunzel would be a witch with the prehensile hair hex.
Flynn is some sort of Order of the Cockatrice cavalier with Weapon Focus (frying pan).
And Stabbington is some sort of melee bard who proves the argument that Charisma represents more than physical appearance.
Max the horse makes Tangled a fun movie. Max is an excellent animal companion .... although I'm wondering where that horse read a +5 tome of understanding...
Max has an interesting backstory, he was a war-dog that got killed and was reincarnated (by the staff Druid) as a horse.

That clinches it. My next campaign will be a musical.
Disney's "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" is a great campaign mine, too.

I'd play in it. :P
I'm actually introducing three halflings based off the Forty Thieves triplets in my campaign as members of the local thieves guild.
Black Cauldron is old school Disney, well worth getting in your video library.
:) Gotta love it when the party's critters are smarter than the PCs themselves.

Man I wish some of these movies were on Netflix... Le sigh...

As per OP: No, you are not alone. Of course, if you can pull it off: On top of getting a GM and group, they get a totally AWESOME GM... And all my envies, sadnesses, and jealousies... Mostly because locally, there is no open games I know of. But that's a subject for another thread.

Our previous D&D campaign: Paladin's horse was the most successful damage dealer in the party until 6th or 7th level.
Our current D&D campaign: Our dwarven druid's, er, summoning-oriented cleric's horde of badgers (aka, summon monster I, II and III) was saving our backsides more times than I can count. Currently the horde is slowly becoming obsolete because of the summoned celestial bison.

Wait until the horde of celestial triceratops ...

hah! Indeed.
When after two or three games we'd realize "oh crap, where's my horse!", the DM ruled that he'd somehow found its way back to me (didn't wanted to go into the inconvenience of my character being on foot I guess). After that happened three or four time in the campaign, it became "institutionalized"; the horse was intelligent (unbeknownst to me character of course), could find its way back, picked-up after my character who presumably would also forget half its gear after camp etc.
In retrospect that whole campaign could be turned into a Disney movie quite easily, princesses and all...
A friend of mine pushed that concept further playing a "paladin" in a high-level game. The "paladin" was an undercover celestial horse, while the "human" simply used the stats of the special mount.

By that time he'll plan to move to various outsiders, from both sides of the fence, as he is going to take Malconvoker prestige class. I don't know if summoned fiends count as the party's critters...
I wouldn't really count summons as the party's critters, more the critters that are pretty much always around - mounts, companions, eidolons, bonded mounts, familiars ...

Played a dwarven druid where my animal companion had a higher Charisma than me. We joked that the AC was actually the party member because he got along with people better.

Party Member: "Hey, badger. Have your dwarf scout out the next room."
Dwarf: "I'm right here, you know. You can talk to me."
Party Member: "Badger, tell your dwarf to chill."
Dwarf: "It's a badger! It can't talk!"

It was a bear, but otherwise pretty spot on. It was a kingmaker campaign, so their was talk of putting it in charge of a city instead of me.

We actually talked about doing a disney-style cartoon musical game once where PCs could get bonuses on rolls if they burst into song and did a little number first--of course the players were expected to actually sing. It was a silly night for us.
My wife and I are so excited about this idea.

Huh.
Irontruth, I could have sworn that this was your vision. My mistake!

My wife's paladin's celestial pegasus WAS the smartest member of the party in our last 3.5 game.
It was both hilarious and sad.
Mostly hilarious.
