10 Best Disney Mentors Who Are Extremely Wise and Helpful

Ask for help whenever you are in trouble since even heroes also cry for assistance. As people all need support sometimes, today, we would love to show our picks for the top 10 Disney mentors who do the leading characters a good turn.
For the post below, we aim at the teachers helping to bring the Disney hero/heroine to their full potential. We compile those roles who are more guides and advisers rather than sidekicks, such as the Fairy Godmother from "Cinderella" or Tala from "Moana".
So, let's scroll down to check the file out. As many of your favorite casts are in there, you cannot miss this collection!
