9 Smidge From Trolls Is Tiny But Strong With A Gruff Voice

Smidge is the smallest of the Trolls, which naturally lends itself to her being potentially the cutest of them all. Her gruff, masculine voice makes her all-the-more cute as it's so incongruous. She also has a cute catchphrase, "Oh My Guh."

Smidge has a violent streak and can be aggressive, but she likes to be adorable too. Despite her size, she's the strongest of all the Pop Trolls, not just in terms of arm strength but also hair strength.

The Boss Baby sarcastically declares himself to be Jesus

Pretty much any time a baby wears small versions of adult clothing it's adorable, and that's no different with Theodore Templeton, also known as the Boss Baby. Theodore wears a black Italian silk suit, which together with his blonde hair and green (blue in the first film) eyes makes him quite the cutie pie.

He has an adult voice and personality but sometimes reverts to acting his age, adopting a babyish giggle and big, glistening eyes in the process.

Toothless smiles

Toothless is the adorable dragon of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. He is large, intelligent, fierce, has a scar on his shoulder, and gets his name from his ability to retract his teeth. And yet, for all that, he still manages to be cute.

His pupils become slits when he is threatened, but when he is happy they dilate to look like a puppy's. As a creature that was once thought to be the "unholy offspring of lightning and death itself," Toothless is pretty darn cute.

3 Master Shifu From Kung Fu Panda Is As Cute As He Is Wise

Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda on a mountain.

What makes Master Shifu so cute is the fact that, while he is small, old, and furry, he can kick some serious butt. The senior master of the Jade Palace, Master Shifu is a red panda who trained Po, the Dragon Warrior, as well as many other kung fu warriors, such as the Furious Five and Tai Lung.

Wise, serious, and at times sarcastic, Shifu did not always take to Po's antics, particularly at the start of his training.

A side character in the Madagascar movies, Mort features more heavily in the All Hail King Julien animated series. Indeed, the mouse lemur is King Julien's biggest fan. Mort's large eyes, single tooth, hysterical laugh, and high-pitched voice make him one of if not the cutest character in the Madagascar movies.

He also has some unsavory aspects to his personality, notably his love of feet and the multiple versions of himself inside his mind, but these don't stop him from being as cute as a button.

1 Puss In Boots From Shrek Is Cute & Combustible

Puss in Boots charmed everyone when he first appeared in Shrek 2 in 2004. Voiced by Antonio Banderas, the cute cat proved so popular that he got his own movie in 2011.

Overly dramatic and taking himself incredibly seriously, Puss in Boots' fiery personality doesn't quite match his furry appearance and diminutive stature, which is what makes him so cute. Well, that and the fact that he can turn anyone to putty with his huge eyes.
