The Best of Cute Children

This Little Girl Telling Off Gaston: Both Disney and feminism had major moments this year, so naturally, when a little girl embodies both, the combo breaks the Internet, as it did last weekend.

This Little Girl Letting a Cow Into the House: This video was originally posted in April, only to resurface in early December. This child proves cuteness is a very valid Get Out of Jail Free card.

This Four-Year-Old Girl and Her Celebrity Dresses: Mayhems perfect paper versions of red-carpet outfits grabbed the Internet's attention back in February. Now the child is designing for J.Crew, because NBD.

This Five-Year-Old's Katy Perry Music Video: Back in May, the Make-A-Wish Foundation turned Addy, diagnosed with stage IV cancer, into a pop star in a very sweet video.

Creative Celebrity Baby Announcements: 2014 has been full of celebrity pregnancy announcements and births (Keira Knightley just added her name to the list!). But the creative and adorable ways some have spread the news are exemplary.

Babies in Halloween Costumes: Infants killed it with creative costumes this year, starting with Ruth Baby Ginsburg and ending with Blue Ivy as Michael Jackson.

Hudson Kroenig: While Hudson Kroenig has been modeling for Chanel for quite some time, the six-year-olds fame quotient spiked this year when he starred in a Chanel campaign with Joan Smalls, establishing himself as the worlds coolest kindergartner.

The Best in Cute Animals

Olympic Guys Bringing Home Stray Pets: During the Olympics in February, hot athletes displayed their warm hearts, adopting stray pets during their stay. The photographic proof is remarkable.
