Jolly Monarch

**King Hubert** is a minor character in Disney's 16th full-length animated feature, *Sleeping Beauty*. As ruler of his own kingdom, he is Prince Phillip's jolly father and King Stefan's lifelong friend.

In the original film, he was modeled by the late Don Barclay and was voiced by the late Bill Thompson. In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, he was voiced by Jeff Bennett, who also voiced Mozenrath in "Black Sand" and currently voices Lumiere. In *Maleficent II: Mistress of Evil*, he was renamed to King John and was portrayed by Robert Lindsay.

## What Makes Him an Ensemble Dark Horse?

* Even though he only appeared in four scenes, he is arguably regarded to be one of the most funniest characters in the film, due to his jolly and energetic personality.
* His jolly, grumpy, and energetic performance by the late Bill Thompson helped made him a funny and interesting comic relief.
* He is also remembered for two of his songs with King Stefan, one for the deleted song called "It Happens I Have a Picture" where the two kings would compare the virtues of their young children, and one involving them toasting to the future of their children and kingdoms called "Skumps".
* Even if he has some disagreements with Prince Phillip, he is a loving and caring father to Phillip and even respected his son's wish to marry a peasant girl, even though the two didn't know that she's actually Princess Aurora until later when Phillip breaks the spell that allows everyone in the kingdom to wake up, including Hubert himself, Aurora, King Stefan and Queen Leah.
* Despite having their own perspectives of their proposals regarding their children and kingdom, Hubert is best friends with King Stefan.
* Despite being a side character, he is the one responsible for making the Three Good Fairies realize from his sleepy conversation with Stefan that Prince Phillip is the same man Aurora met in the woods and being the only one who can help save everyone in the kingdom from their endless sleeping curse.
