00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most adorable badasses
00:12in the history of TV and film.
00:24Number 10.
00:25The Blue Demons – Galaxy Quest
00:36This star-studded 1999 film both parodies and pays homage to popular science fiction
00:41franchises.
00:42The plot has a group of actors from a Star Trek-like series thrust into a real-life space
00:47adventure, constructed by aliens who believe their TV hijinks were real.
00:51At one point, the actors stumble upon a colony of childlike blue humanoids, observing their
00:56chunky bodies, cherubic faces, and seemingly peaceful ways from afar.
01:00Sigourney Weaver's character is tempted to say hello.
01:08But then the little fellas start cannibalizing each other, and the cast decides they may
01:13not be so friendly.
01:14In fact, they resolve to stay as far away as possible from the blue demons for the remainder
01:20of their journey.
01:28Number 9.
01:29Unikitty – The Lego Movie Franchise and Unikitty
01:40Princess Unikitty is a pink, wide-eyed unicorn-cat hybrid with a sweet voice and even sweeter
01:45demeanor.
01:46Since her debut in 2014's The Lego Movie, Unikitty has consistently captured audiences'
01:52hearts, which led to her getting her own spinoff series on Cartoon Network.
01:56It's impossible not to love the princess of Unikingdom's cheerful and optimistic
02:00personality.
02:02But what makes her even more entertaining is her quirky tendency to express extreme
02:06emotions.
02:07When she's adopted her Angry Kitty form, as well as her Super Angry Kitty and other
02:23modes, Unikitty can wreak absolute havoc.
02:26Be nice and don't mess with her friends, and hopefully you'll be safe from Unikitty's
02:31wrath.
02:45Number 8.
02:46Iron Giant – The Iron Giant
02:58The titular giant from Brad Bird's 1999 movie may be made of iron, but his heart is
03:04as pure as gold.
03:05The giant, a 50-foot-tall robotic being of extraterrestrial origin, has all sorts of
03:10weaponry built into his system, suggesting he may have been conceived with the purpose
03:14of destroying Earth.
03:16However, far from being a monster, he's a childlike, innocent, and curious bot who's
03:21clearly not interested in hurting anyone.
03:34The story sees him develop a friendship with a boy named Hogarth, and their bond prompts
03:38the giant to learn that he's more than what he's programmed to be.
03:41You might even call him the quintessential gentle giant.
03:59Number 7.
04:00Strife – Gremlins
04:03Gremlins are a one-of-a-kind blend of precious and horrifying.
04:07First appearing in the 80s comedy-horror classic, these cuddly-looking monsters double as the
04:11more peaceful mogwai, only letting out their fury if you ignore the rules for taking care
04:16of them or feed them after midnight, which is a major no-no.
04:29Even when they're causing chaos as gremlins, you have to admit they look cute while doing
04:33it.
04:34The series has introduced several gremlins with a plethora of personalities, with a particularly
04:39vicious one named Stripe serving as their leader.
04:41Stripe may look and act rather demonic compared to the rest of them, but even he manages to
04:47be endearing.
04:54Number 6.
04:56Stitch – Lilo & Stitch Franchise
05:09Stitch is a fugitive alien who was literally created to destroy.
05:12But let's be honest, he's pretty darn cute and fluffy.
05:16As number 626 of a series of illegal genetic experiments, Stitch is incredibly fierce,
05:21with superhuman strength and durability among his many attributes.
05:25Since his debut in the 2002 movie, we've witnessed Stitch go up against all kinds of
05:30enemies and prove himself to be an intimidating foe.
05:40But with the help of his human companion, Lilo, Stitch has also developed a sweet, vulnerable
05:45streak that makes it difficult not to absolutely adore him.
05:55While he still kicks butt on the regular, he usually has pure intentions, namely protecting
06:00his new Ohana.
06:02Number 5.
06:03Toothless – How to Train Your Dragon Franchise
06:15Black as the night and cute as a button, Toothless was the first dragon introduced in the widely
06:19popular Dreamworks franchise.
06:21He's also one of the most formidable of his kind, frequently displaying an ability
06:25to destroy and terrorize.
06:27We've watched Toothless dive-bomb at top speed, unleash devastating blasts of plasma,
06:33defeat the massive Bewilderbeast, and much more.
06:45But throughout it all, he never loses his undeniable charm.
06:49Toothless' creators allegedly wanted his behavior to resemble a cat or dogs, and this
06:54is especially evident when the dragon shows his affectionate, playful side.
06:58Maybe he's lethal, but he's also lovable.
07:06Number 4.
07:07Ewoks – Star Wars Franchise
07:22In Star Wars Episode VI, the Rebels land on the forest moon of Endor to discover a tribe
07:27of what looks like walking, talking teddy bears.
07:30This installment marks the debut of the Ewoks, a furry race of primitive moon-dwellers who
07:35have appeared in various Star Wars media.
07:38Designed in part to resemble George Lucas' dog, Ewoks certainly look huggable enough…
07:43unless they deem you a rival or prey.
07:46They're strong, protective, loyal, and resourceful, using their knowledge of the forest and technology
07:54to their advantage when taking on invaders.
07:57They also have a taste for human flesh, but thankfully, Han and the others are able to
08:02dodge that bullet.
08:14Number 3.
08:15Puss in Boots – Shrek Franchise
08:27He may have started out as a sidekick, but this swashbuckling orange tabby would soon
08:32prove to be one of DreamWorks' most fearsome, not to mention charming, antiheroes.
08:46Voiced by Antonio Banderas, Puss in Boots is a crafty, agile, sword-wielding feline
08:52who's held his own against a number of fairytale foes.
08:55But across numerous appearances in the Shrek universe, including a couple of his own spinoffs,
09:01Puss has remained a typical kitty at heart, purring and coughing up hairballs and batting
09:06things around with his paws.
09:11Don't let those big, innocent eyes fool you.
09:19Beneath that fluffy exterior lies a cunning assassin ready to pounce at a moment's notice.
09:25Number 2.
09:26Jack-Jack Parr – The Incredibles Franchise
09:35Baby Jack-Jack is a force to be reckoned with.
09:37The youngest child in a family of superheroes, Jack-Jack has more powers than his parents
09:42can handle, from polymorphism to telekinesis to teleportation and beyond.
09:49Amazingly, we don't even see Jack-Jack in action until the movie's climax, when he's
09:56briefly taken hostage by the villainous Syndrome.
09:58That's when he proves he's capable of dominating even the most dangerous adversaries.
10:06We get a lot more of Jack-Jack in the short film Jack-Jack Attack in the 2018 sequel.
10:11Both showcase his apparently endless superpowers.
10:14We can only assume Jack-Jack will grow up to be an iconic hero.
10:18For now, he remains a gurgling, giggling infant who can never have enough cookies.

10:40Number 1.
10:41The Cirebannog, Monty Python and the Holy Grail
10:55Take a look at this rabbit.
10:56What do you see?
10:57Just a fuzzy white bunny, minding its own business?
11:00But take a closer look, and actually, you know what?
11:04Scratch that.
11:05Don't go anywhere near it if you know what's good for you.
11:20This deceptively sweet-looking mammal is the guardian of the cave of Cirebannog, and its
11:24viciousness is the stuff of legend.
11:27Although King Arthur is skeptical of his ferociousness at first, he's convinced when it kills three
11:32of his men and maims several others.
11:35The scene is a nod to the killer rabbit trope, which was actually quite common in medieval
11:39literature.
11:40This film may be a comedy classic, but it can also serve as a warning not to underestimate
11:45the mighty bunny.
11:48Did we miss any calamitous cuties?
