Seth MacFarlane's Ted is released in UK cinemas today (August 1), and sees Mark Wahlberg star as a man who has what some might call an unhealthily codependent relationship with his teddy bear.The foul-mouthed, thoroughly non-child-friendly Ted got us thinking about other iconic movie sidekicks, from inanimate (Tom Hanks's beloved volleyball Wilson in Cast Away) to animal (Shrek's Donkey and The Artist's now infamous pooch) to human.
Take a look through Digital Spy's list of 20 great big-screen sidekicks in the gallery below, and let us know who you'd put in your own list.

Chewbacca Star Wars (1977)
There's no better way to start off a greatest sidekicks list than with Han Solo's gentle, faithful co-pilot and cohort Chewie, whose litany of weird animal noises somehow remains both funny and expressive in all four of his appearances.
Ron and Hermione, Donkey and little Rue are my favs :P
