- Disney movies, whether of the Disney Animated Canon variety or Pixar variety, often tend to have very noticeable snarkers. Here are some examples, in chronological order.
- Bagheera from The Jungle Book, such as when talking to Baloo about whether or not to take Mowgli back to human society:
Baloo: Oh, stop worrying, Baggy! Stop worrying! I'll take care of him. |
- Dodger from Oliver and Company:
Oliver: So when are we going to eat? |
- Krebbs the Koala, from The Rescuers Down Under:
- Lumiere, from Beauty and the Beast:
Beast: You come out or I'll... I'll... I'll break down the door! |
- The Beast himself has his moments.
Lumiere: Voila! You look so...so... |
- Iago, from Aladdin:
Jafar: Patience, Iago, patience. Gazeem was obviously less than worthy. |
- Scar, Timon, and Nala from The Lion King, but especially Scar.

- Phoebus and Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but especially Phoebus.
Quasimodo: Is this the Court of Miracles? |
- Hades, Phil, and Megara from Hercules, but especially Hades.
Hades: So is this an audience or a mosaic? |
- Meg gets some very good lines too:
Meg: My friends call me Meg. At least they would if I had any friends. |
- Hopper from A Bugs Life.
Atta: You sure it's not up there? |
- Kuzco from The Emperors New Groove.
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. |
- Atlantis: The Lost Empire has Wilhelmina Packard. Her Catch Phrase is, "We're all gonna die".
- Many of the characters in the film The Incredibles fill this role, specifically the Supers.
Elastigirl: I think... your father is in trouble. |
- Mittens the cat from Bolt. It helps that her voice is done by Sussie Essman from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Bolt: I will super-bark you out of that tree! |
- Princess and The Frog . Tiana due to her status as the Only Sane Man, but a lot of other characters as well.
(frog appears on the balcony after Tiana wished on a star) Tiana: Oh, very funny. What now? I reckon you want a kiss? |
- And this gem:
Naveen: I fully intend to be rich again. Once I marry miss Charlotte La Bouff if she'll have me. |
- 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.

- Pascal almost manages to out-snark Flynn, no mean feat considering he can't talk.
- Lightning Mc Queen from Cars.
- Ariel's sister Andrina in The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning
- Charlie Barkin from All Dogs Go to Heaven fits this trope perfectly, not only in his words, but in his facial expressions and actions as well. To get the full effects of Charlie's Deadpan Snarkerness, you have to watch this scene, where Charlie "tucks" Anne Marie into bed in his cab:
Anne Marie: Charlie, your front seat *hurts* me! |
- Manny in Ice Age and Ice Age 2. So is Diego, in all three movies.
- Jiji in Kiki's Delivery Service. He was voiced by the late, great Phil Hartman in one of his last film roles (in the dub only).
- In Astro Boy 2009, Dr. Elefun tends to drop into this mode whenever he shares screen time with Stone.
"HAHA -- oh, you're not joking." |
- Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon intermittently comes out with some of the most hilariously matter-of-fact lines ever.
"And now the spinning. Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile." |
- Kate the alpha wolf in Alpha and Omega shows this off during serious situations.
- Francis from Felidae can show to be a deadpan snarker at times.
Bluebeard: Why did you run off? The brothers just wanted to talk. |
- Coraline and the Cat.
- Margo from Despicable Me is very dry and sarcastic.
Margo: (delivering cookies) Four boxes of mini-mints, two toffee totes, uh, two caramel clumpies, aaaaand fifteen boxes of coconutties. |
