Disney-Pixar Characters I Dream of Grilling

Welcome back to Saturday Night Social.

And yes, for a certain holiday that happens to coincide with this week’s installment… I’m still banging on about barbecues. 

Because! The year was 2007. I was just a teenager and watching Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End with my friends, when Davy Jones—the cursed seafarer, pirate, and captain of the ghost ship “The Flying Dutchman”—emerged with his giant beard of curling tentacles. Turning to my friends, I said aloud what I assumed what was on everyone’s mind.

“Is it just me… or does he look delicious?”

Reader, it was not on anyone else’s mind. And the terrified looks on their faces still haunt me to this day. 

Alas, I’ve waited a near-decade for my frontal lobe to fully develop and inform me that I was sick and twisted for ever imagining grilling (drool) Davy Jones. But if I’m being honest—and feel free to hate on me for this—the list of Disney characters I’d like to throw on the grill today has only grown. So call me a freak! Or whatever! But I’m just a girl, standing in front of a grill, asking for some tongs to cook up some fictional characters. 

Buck Cluck from Chicken Little

I’m really sorry for this—I am. But apparently, he’s just not really that redeemable of a character anyways!

I mean, fried chicken is my favorite food, and who doesn’t love some blackened chicken on the grill? Ugh. Delicious.

The Barracuda from Finding Nemo

I’m sure many will be OK with this. After all, that fucker killed Coral.

I love how dark Pixar made the barracuda attack scene in Finding Nemo. They pulled no punches and it still is effective to this day. pic.twitter.com/OlR72mdDXL
