Giveaway for Descriptive Writing Animated Character Help

This term for assessment, my grade 2 students are being asked to write a description of a fictional character. I am responsible for writing the task and criteria/grading sheet. I am wanting the kids to watch a short segment/s of an animated movie where at least 1 character (2 preferable) is shown in enough detail for students to write a description of the character (with details of appearance, personality etc).

This is where you come in my blogging friends! Do you know of any such segments?? I've been thinking of Aladdin or Snow White but my son is 12 now and I'm not really up with the current animated movies!!!... and I don't really have time to sit through and watch them looking for a good up to 5 minutes or so segment.

Please, please, please comment if you can recommend a particular segment of an animated movie!! I'll give everyone who leaves a unique comment a copy of my new Apple Basket Fact Family activity. Here's a sneak peek - it's not yet available!
 
So, to grab your copy before the official release (HA! I sound like a salesman! I REALLY want your suggestions!!) comment below by Sunday night! Thanks to everyone who commented! Your activity is being sent via email! (Just so you know, I've just had a thought that most of you are probably still enjoying your Sunday morning but it's Sunday night here!). I haven't decided what I'm doing yet, but am working on watching a whole heap of your suggestions on you tube tonight. Please leave a comment or email me your email address (downunderteacherblog@gmail.com) if you didn't leave it in your comment so I can get it to you.
