00:00Where to? I'll be your escort this evening.
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're looking at the cutest couples from animated movies.
00:09We're excluding Disney and Pixar, as we already have more than a few lists dedicated to those adorable pairs.
00:15We will include Fox movies that Disney later acquired, however.
00:19Hmm.
00:20Hey, what are you circling me? What, were you a vulture in another life?
00:30Cave Girl Eep has spent most of her life sheltered, although, to her overprotective father's credit, natural selection hasn't been
00:37on their side.
00:38Eep is nonetheless drawn beyond her cave, where she meets an evolved guy named Guy.
00:43You talk!
00:45I'm a person, like you!
00:49Sort of?
00:51Like you?
00:51There's an instant spark between the two, and not just because of the fire.
00:55As the two begin to develop feelings for each other, Guy must also win over Eep's father, who has kind
01:01of imprisoned him.
01:02Guy is eventually allowed to develop a closer bond with Eep, who's drawn to his inventive mind as well as
01:07his resemblance to Ryan Reynolds.
01:09While everything is new to Eep, Guy is also treading on uncharted territory, gaining a girlfriend and a potential father
01:17-in-law.
01:17Your mother and I are here if you need us.
01:21Boom?
01:22Boom!
01:24Get in here, son.
01:27Number 19. Rango and Beans
01:29Rango
01:30At least Eep had a family to keep her company.
01:33The only ones this chameleon had in his vivarium were a plastic fish, a headless doll, and Victor the tree.
01:40Stranded in the desert, the lizard, who names himself Rango, meets Iguana Beans, who welcomes him with one of those
01:46miniature shotguns.
01:47I got a bead on you, stranger.
01:49You get up real slow.
01:51Lesson you want to spend a bit of part of the afternoon putting your face back together.
01:54While not quite as isolated, Beans' defense mechanisms close her off from others.
01:59She puts up a tough front, but there is a gentler side.
02:03Night after night I watched him.
02:06I never saw him move.
02:08But you're still watching?
02:10Who didn't want to find someplace wonderful?
02:12Similarly, the introverted Rango taps into his theatrical side to impress Beans and the town.
02:18His act may snowball into calamity, but in time, Rango summons the courage to become the hero he dreamed of
02:24being,
02:24and that Beans knew he was deep down.
02:26Where did I come from? We call this improvisation.
02:31You got him back.
02:34Number 18. Jabari and Meadow, Intergalactic.
02:38Although Intergalactic is a more traditional romantic comedy than some of our other entries,
02:43it still takes full advantage of the medium.
02:46It makes perfect sense to tell this love story through animation, as the leads are both artists.
02:51So, when do I get to see some of your photos?
02:53Well, if you find yourself at the Studio Museum, they'll be there.
02:58Hold on. Big flex.
03:01Meadow is a photographer, while Jabari is on the verge of making the leap from graffiti art to comics.
03:06The vibe between these two is immediately through the roof.
03:09But that doesn't mean commitment comes easily to them.
03:12You know, I think all of this is moving way too fast, and you and I, I mean, we both
03:17have a lot going on,
03:18so I think we should just, like, take a second.
03:23Despite being neighbors, the space between them grows as they try to balance work, art, and relationships.
03:29Ex-girlfriends don't help either.
03:31Both find that their feelings must be preserved, though,
03:33much like a work of art that captures a moment you want to last forever.
03:37Can't shake it, no, can't shake it, no, no.
03:40Can't get away, can't get away, no, no, no.
03:45Hey.
03:47Hey.
03:49Number 17. Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws. Puss in Boots Franchise.
03:54I will see you again, Kitty Softpaws.
03:57Ha, sooner than you think.
04:00Puss in Boots' first spinoff gave us a desperado reunion between Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek,
04:05the latter voicing Kitty Softpaws.
04:07Whether combating each other with swords or on the dance floor,
04:11Kitty is one cat who can tangle with Puss without breaking a sweat.
04:15Where Puss has a code of honor, Kitty's moral compass leads her astray like a laser pointer.
04:20Even if she breaks Puss's heart more than once, Kitty always finds her way back to him.
04:25What happened to your sword?
04:26Get rid of it, you know, made things too easy. I needed a challenge.
04:31Yeah, you look pretty challenged back there.
04:33The two outlaws can't help but be drawn to their next score.
04:36Once they slow down, Puss and Kitty realize you only get one life.
04:40Actually, nine if you're a cat.
04:42Since Puss is on his last one, he makes the most of it with Kitty.
04:46Steady as she goes, perrito.
04:49Doki-doki, where are we headed anyways?
04:52Off to find new adventures.
04:54Number 16. Jesper Johansson and Alva.
04:58Klaus.
04:59Jesper and Alva are introduced as cynical characters, albeit for different reasons.
05:04Where Alva had career goals, Jesper is a rich boy who never worked a day in his life.
05:09That was until he was forced to move to Smearnsburg, where he meets the sharp-edged Alva.
05:13Oh, uniform, cold sweat, scared stiff, shaking in your boots.
05:19All right, I'm gonna just take a wild guess here.
05:22You are the latest mailman, and the ferryman tricked you into ringing the battle bell.
05:28She isn't thrilled about being stuck on this island either,
05:30dreaming of being a teacher but getting stuck mongering fish.
05:34Jesper helps Alva fulfill her dream by getting the town's children to write letters.
05:49While Jesper's motivations are selfish, he warms up to the town, and especially Alva.
05:54Just as Alva's icy exterior melts to reveal the nurturing educator she aspired to be,
05:59Jesper finds a part of himself he never knew was there.
06:02One that wants to give.
06:13I'm never wanting anything more.
06:15Number 15.
06:16Ballister, Boldheart, and Ambrosius, Goldenloin.
06:19Nimona.
06:20What if they still hate me?
06:22No one hates a hero of the realm.
06:26They're gonna love you.
06:32Like I do.
06:33Ballister's future looks bright.
06:35Not only is he about to become a knight, but he'll be serving alongside his boyfriend, Ambrosius.
06:40When Ballister is framed for murder, though, he's forced to go on the run with the shape-shifting Nimona.
06:46Oh, Nemesis.
06:49Nemesis?
06:49Queen killer!
06:51Oh, look, it's Glorys!
06:52Fire!
06:56Not an exit.
06:58That's on me.
06:59Did you see the way he looked at me?
07:01Ah!
07:02He really thinks I killed the queen.
07:04Ambrosius is torn between his duty, the man he loves, and a lingering feeling that something
07:09is off.
07:10Ballister also has a difficult decision to make.
07:13Getting his old life back takes a back seat, as Ballister realizes that Nimona is more than
07:18she seems, attempting to show the world she isn't a monster.
07:21While Ballister's friendship with Nimona is at the film's heart, his romance with Ambrosius
07:26adds to the emotional stakes.
07:28They must fight through prejudice to find one another again.
07:31I'm sorry.
07:34For...
07:34everything.
07:36Number 14.
07:37Rumi and Jinu.
07:38K-pop Demon Hunters.
07:40Rivals turned lovers is a staple of both anime and Korean drama.
07:44K-pop Demon Hunters embraces this trope while putting a fresh spin on it.
07:48Wow.
07:49I wasn't expecting a hug, but...
07:51Ah!
07:52Jeez, okay, okay, calm down.
07:54I thought the mannequin was gonna be a fun icebreaker, but I see I was wrong.
07:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey.
07:59I just wanna talk.
08:00Talk?
08:01About your patterns?
08:02Rumi is a demon hunter, hiding the fact that she's part demon.
08:06Gino is a demon with his own secrets, planning to bring down Rumi and her fellow hunters by
08:11fighting K-pop with K-pop.
08:13Can I get the much a little higher?
08:16Give me your desire.
08:18I can be the star you rely on.
08:21You rely on.
08:21Although they're on opposing sides, Rumi brings out Jinu's humanity, which he assumed was long
08:26gone.
08:27Likewise, Jinu helps Rumi to realize that the demon patterns she strived to hide are a part
08:32of her.
08:33It isn't until Rumi embraces all of herself that the voice inside is fully unleashed.
08:38Without one another, Rumi and Jinu never would have confronted their own innings.
08:41We can't fix it if we never face it.
08:46Let the past be the past till it's weightless.
08:49Number 13.
08:51Moses and Zipporah, the Prince of Egypt.
08:54Their first meeting might be different in Exodus, but Moses' introduction to Zipporah
08:58in this DreamWorks film foreshadows his destiny.
09:01Enslaved, Zipporah is, quote, given to Moses, who has lived a privileged life.
09:06I won't be given to anyone, especially an arrogant, pampered palace brat.
09:12Are you going to let her talk to you like that?
09:14You will show the proper respect for a Prince of Egypt.
09:18But I am showing you all the respect you deserve.
09:21Beginning to see the error of his ways, Moses allows Zipporah to escape.
09:25She won't be the last person he helps flee from Egypt.
09:27When they meet again, Moses has given up his wealth and title.
09:31You.
09:34No!
09:40Mm-hmm.
09:44That's why Papa says she'll never get married.
09:48Zipporah still hasn't forgotten his arrogance, but she also remembers his compassion when it
09:53mattered most.
09:53The two fall in love, with Moses discovering true happiness in his humble life away from
09:58Egypt.
09:59Of course, Moses must return to Egypt, this time with Zipporah by his side to help deliver
10:04the Hebrews to the Promised Land.
10:06There can be miracles when you believe.
10:15Number 12.
10:16Mr. Fox and Mrs. Felicity Fox.
10:18Fantastic Mr. Fox.
10:20What's wrong?
10:21You're acting all skittish.
10:23Don't worry, I've been stealing birds for a living since before I could trot.
10:26By the way, you look unbelievably beautiful tonight.
10:28You're practically glowing.
10:31Maybe it's the lighting.
10:32Mr. Fox is as slick as thieves come, which adds up since he's voiced by Danny Ocean himself.
10:37When the missus reveals that they're going to have a foxling, though, he agrees to hang
10:41it up for good.
10:42Still painting thunderstorms, I see.
10:44Do you still feel poor?
10:48Less so.
10:49Of course, Mr. Fox can only stay out of the game for so long.
10:52It's in his nature, but there's a reason why Felicity fell for Mr. Fox's devil-may-care
10:57charm in the first place.
10:59Foxes traditionally like to court danger, hunt prey, and outsmart predators, and that's what
11:04I'm actually good at.
11:06I think at the end of the day, I'm just...
11:11She loved the chase almost as much as he did, although Felicity realized that family had
11:15to come first.
11:16This lesson comes harder to Mr. Fox, but after nearly losing it all, he finds that nothing
11:21is more fantastic than his family, which is getting a new addition.
11:26Wow.
11:28I think we're both glowing.
11:34Do another toast, Dad.
11:40Imprisoned Chicken Ginger needs a miracle, and one falls out of the sky in the form of
11:44Rocky the Rooster.
11:46Seeing Rocky soar through the air, Ginger convinces him to help her and the other chickens escape
11:50Tweety's farm.
11:51We're all going to fly over that fence, and Mr. Rhodes is going to show us how, right?
11:56That's right.
11:57What?
11:59Did you say fly?
12:01You can teach us.
12:02No, I can't.
12:03It probably goes without saying that Rocky is keeping a secret, which he becomes increasingly
12:08conflicted about as sparks fly between him and Ginger.
12:11She isn't instantly wooed by the womanizing, or we guess chickenizing, rooster, but Ginger
12:16finds there's a softer side to Rocky.
12:18You know, that hill is looking closer tonight than it ever has before.
12:27Oh!
12:30Well.
12:31Despite not being honest up front, the lone Free Ranger ultimately comes through for the
12:35chicken, laying down roots with Ginger.
12:37The two even have a hatchling, with parenthood bringing new dimensions to their relationship
12:42in the sequel.
12:43You know, I'd say our little island paradise just got a little more paradisier.
12:52Cock-a-doodle-doo!
12:55Number 10.
12:56Manny and Ellie
12:57Ice Age Franchise
12:58I want us to be together because we want to, and I want to be with you, Ellie.
13:03A pair of prehistoric mammoths?
13:05Manny is a grumpy widower, while Ellie is fun-loving and was raised as an opossum.
13:10They're an unlikely coupling to be sure, but circumstances bring them together and lead
13:14to love, even if they don't get along at first.
13:17Maybe because you're a mammoth?
13:19Me?
13:20Don't be ridiculous, I'm not a mammoth, I'm a opossum!
13:24Right, good one.
13:25I'm a newt.
13:26They soon start a family, bringing a daughter they adore into the world.
13:30And though they continue to disagree, often over how to handle the various dangers they
13:34encounter, their love and desire to protect each other is apparent in their actions and
13:38body language.
13:39You might say Manny and Ellie's love is downright elephantine.
13:43Number 9.
13:43Bruce Wayne and Andrea Beaumont
13:45Batman Mask of the Phantasm
13:47Nice footwork.
13:49Can you dance too?
13:50Before he was Batman, Bruce Wayne met Andrea Beaumont while they were attending Gotham University.
13:55Their romance showed a different side to the future Dark Knight, and almost derailed him
13:59from his destined course when he proposed marriage to her.
14:06What do you say?
14:08However, she ultimately broke off the engagement to go to Europe to help her father, who had
14:12gotten himself in trouble with the mob.
14:15Andrea's return is painful for both of them, and complicated by the fact that a masked vigilante
14:20is murdering her father's associates.
14:22In the end, it's revealed that the murderous phantasm is none other than Andrea.
14:26It makes for a haunting and effective parallel between the two ex-lovers, while their fundamental
14:31ideological differences keep them apart.
14:34Can we make it work this time?
14:36I want to say yes, but you know it's going to come down between me and your father.
14:42Daddy doesn't matter anymore.
14:44Number 8.
14:44Flint Lockwood and Sam Sparks
14:46Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs franchise
14:48Do you think we could still work together?
14:52I think we will work great together.
14:55The forecast for these two nerds is definitely sunny skies.
14:59Flint Lockwood is a madcap, excitable inventor, while Sam Sparks is an ambitious but often
15:05self-conscious weather intern.
15:06When Flint creates a machine that turns rain into food, the pair of them are brought together
15:10for a positively delicious romance.
15:13I like you, okay?
15:15Like, like as a friend?
15:19No.
15:20Like, like you, like you.
15:23Each is supportive of the other, with Sam supporting Flint's inventions, which have long
15:27gone unrecognized by his family, and Flint encouraging Sam not to hide her intelligence
15:32to fit in.
15:33Their adventures in romance and culinary weather and fauna are absolutely adorkable, and thankfully
15:38can be found on the small screen too.
15:41Number 7.
15:42Felonious Gru and Lucy Wilde
15:44Despicable Me franchise
15:45If I'd asked you out on a date, what would you have said?
15:50Are you kidding me?
15:51Yes!
15:52A reformed supervillain, and his secret agent partner in crime fighting.
15:55Felonious Gru and Lucy Wilde are a wonderfully odd couple.
15:59Gru is quirky, and despite his nefarious past, very sweet.
16:03While Lucy is equally offbeat, and loves the action of their job.
16:07While their first encounter is less than auspicious, tasers generally don't bode well.
16:11Their mutual crush that blossoms into romance is both heartwarming and hilarious to watch.
16:17Meanwhile, their eventual partnership, in marriage, parenthood, and in battling villains,
16:22is both strong and rather cute.
16:24Let's get him!
16:26Honey, he's my brother!
16:28You'll give him a five-minute head start!
16:30Number 6.
16:31Megamind and Roxanne Roxy Ritchie
16:33Megamind
16:34While we're on the subject of supervillain romances,
16:37Megamind is a diabolical yet goofy alien villain,
16:40who develops romantic feelings for reporter Roxanne Ritchie,
16:44who had previously been his most frequent target for kidnapping.
16:47The two develop something of a friendship through their many interactions,
16:50though their romance doesn't really begin until Megamind's nemesis appears to die,
16:54leaving him with an existential crisis.
16:57To stave off his melancholy, or melancholy as Megamind would say,
17:01Melancholy.
17:02He begins spending more time with Roxanne, while in disguise.
17:06Would you still enjoy my company?
17:07Of course!
17:08You don't judge a book by its cover or person from the outside?
17:12Oh, that's a relief to hear.
17:14Their budding relationship is nearly undone when she discovers who he really is,
17:18but a new villain helps them both see that Megamind,
17:20and their relationship, have the potential for more.
17:23I have to admit, being good has its perks.
17:28Number 5.
17:28Manolo Sanchez and Maria Posada
17:30The Book of Life
17:31I will never, ever stop loving you.
17:35These two childhood friends have to endure plenty before they become a couple,
17:40including supernatural manipulations and death.
17:43But their love is all the more sweet for it.
17:45Maria is the feisty daughter of a general,
17:48who's no slouch on the battlefield herself,
17:50while Manolo is a bullfighter who yearns to be a musician.
17:53I can't help falling in love with you.
18:02Despite teasing him on occasion,
18:04Maria is very supportive of Manolo's dreams,
18:07while his devotion to her extends to the afterlife.
18:10Together, theirs is a romance that not even death can derail.
18:13I'll find the way you are, I'll be there.
18:17Number 4.
18:18Emmett Burkowski and Lucy Wildstyle
18:20The Lego Movie Franchise
18:22Lucy.
18:27I really like that name.
18:28Opposites often attract,
18:30and these two Lego characters couldn't be more different.
18:33Emmett is an outsider desperate to belong via conformity,
18:36following directions for nearly all his tasks and rarely thinking for himself.
18:41Meanwhile, Wildstyle is incredibly independent,
18:43being a skilled builder and fighter.
18:45While Emmett falls for her at first sight,
18:47Wildstyle initially dislikes him,
18:49due to his stumbling upon the destiny that she had yearned for,
18:52while displaying none of her talents.
18:55I wanted it to be me, okay?
18:58I wanted to be the special.
19:00Over time though,
19:00they each manage to bring out the best in each other,
19:03with Wildstyle showing Emmett how he can stand out,
19:05and Emmett showing her that it's okay to work with others.
19:09You said I was talented and important?
19:13That was the first time anyone had ever really told me that.
19:17And it made me want to do everything I could
19:19to be the guy you were talking about.
19:21Number 3.
19:22Dmitry and Anya
19:23Also known as Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia.
19:27Anastasia.
19:28You didn't take that.
19:29I couldn't.
19:31Why?
19:34Because I.
19:38Despite meeting his children,
19:40Anastasia and Dmitry don't reconnect until they're young adults,
19:43when he ropes her into a scheme to impersonate,
19:45unknowingly,
19:46herself.
19:47Now going by Anya,
19:48the amnesiac Duchess and the conman often clash,
19:51while he and his friend Vlad coach her on how to act like royalty.
19:54The duo bickers and flirts all the way to Paris,
19:57in a thoroughly charming romance full of memorable moments.
20:00I'm just trying to give you a...
20:02A compliment?
20:04Of course, yes.
20:06While the villainous Rasputin threatens to tear them apart,
20:09love conquers all,
20:10proving strong enough that social status doesn't matter either,
20:13and leading to the couple sailing into the sunset together.
20:19Number 2.
20:20Hiccup, Horrendous Haddock III and Astrid Hofferson.
20:23How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
20:25Come here, you.
20:29Vikings aren't typically the group one thinks of when it comes to romance,
20:32but this young couple is among the cutest animation has to offer.
20:36Hiccup has crushed on Astrid for many years,
20:38and the feelings may have been mutual,
20:40but it isn't until he trains a dragon that the two start truly connecting.
20:44Could it be this way?
20:48I could get used to it.
20:50Their relationship build-up is excellent,
20:52particularly when you include the expanded universe on TV.
20:56The duo does nearly everything together,
20:58and is wonderfully supportive of one another.
21:00They'd ultimately tie the knot,
21:02fulfilling Hiccup's promise that,
21:04there will always be a hiccup in Astrid.
21:06Always.
21:07There will always be a hiccup in Astrid.
21:10Always.

21:27Number 1.
21:28Barry B. Benson and Vanessa Bloom, Bee Movie
21:31What human woman wouldn't leave their boyfriend for a bee who sounds like Jerry Seinfeld?
21:36That's very funny.
21:37Yeah.
21:38Bees are funny.
21:38If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with.
21:42Just kidding.
21:44Number 1.
21:44Shrek and Princess Fiona, Shrek Franchise
21:47I love you.
21:50Really?
21:53Really, really.
21:54Shrek is a cantankerous ogre,
21:56while Fiona is a princess cursed to become an ogre-esque.
21:59Although Fiona initially rejects Shrek and that side of herself,
