As far as I can tell, this appears to be an attempt to create a list of every character, no matter how minor, that ever appeared in a piece of animation created by Disney. Not only is this a blatant example of WP:NOTDIRECTORY (falling under the "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as....persons (real or fictional)" example), but the entire premise of this list is WP:OR. There is no such thing as the "Disney Animated Universe" in the sense that it is being used for this list. There is no sourced content aside from IMDB being used to cite some of the voice actors.

Delete There isn't really a "universe" of Disney animation, but certainly lots of animated Disney characters do have their own articles, a list of those wouldn't be out of order, even if this spefic list isn't the one we should have.★Trekker (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There is no "Disney animated universe" so the article should not exist on that merit alone as the very concept of it is flawed. There are no sources to support inclusion in such a list (as the list topic doesn't even exist), and the list topic itself fails WP:GNG and WP:LISTN. - Aoidh (talk) 00:36, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
