I just thought of this one recently. Correct me if I'm wrong, though:
Dodger's gang from "Oliver & Company":
The hero - Dodger The lancers - Rita and Tito The smart guy - Francis The big guy - Einstein The chick - Georgette The tagalong kid - Oliver The mentor - f*gin

Hey! Here's one! Tell me if this one sounds right: Gummi Bears: The Hero - Cubbi The Lancer - Gruffi The Smart Guy - Zummi The Big Guy - Tummi The Chick - Sunny The Team Mom - Grammy I think this one I have is a bit more accurate: Adventures of the Gummi Bears The Hero - Gruffi The Lancer/Team Mom - Grammi The Smart Guy - Zummi The Big Guy - Tummi The Chick - Sunni The Tagalong Kid - Cubbi The Sixth Ranger - Gusto What you said there does make sense. I am glad that I got a lot of them right. However, there are a few things I might have to correct you on: 1. I'm not sure if Gruffi being the hero would be exactly right. I don't think it was ever confirmed that Gruffi was the leader of the Gummi Bears. He seemed to act more like a lancer to me. 2. As for Grammi, I guess claiming her as the lancer does make sense seeing that she and Gruffi got into a lot of arguments, and that's typical for the hero and lancer. 3. Just because Cubbi is a kid, that doesn't necessarily mean he is "the tagalong kid". If there is a kid on the team by any means, that doesn't necessarily make him/her a tagalong kid. I found Cubbi to be the most heroic of the Gummies, so that's why I made him the hero.

Here's a couple:
Monster Rancher:
The hero - Genki The lancer - Suezo The smart guy - Hare The big guy - Gollum The chick - Holly The tag along kid - Mocchi The sixth ranger - Tiger
The Aristocats:
The hero/team dad - Thomas O'Malley The lancer/team mom - Duchess The smart guy - Berlioz The big guy - Tolouse The chick - Marie
That's probably how Trey would have put them.

I found out that there's another way to classify 5 Man Bands that's different from the way TV Tropes classifies them. To do it this way, you need to have five in the team, no more, no less. That means no sixth rangers, Tagalog kids, etc. Anyway, these are the categories for this method:
The Leader The Doofus The Flirt The Tough Guy The Quiet One
For this one: these are a few examples that I know of:
Codename: Kids Next Door:
The Leader - Numbuh One The Doofus - Numbuh Two The Flirt - Numbuh Three The Tough Guy - Numbuh Four The Quiet One - Numbuh Five
Pound Puppies (2010):
The Leader - Lucky The Doofus - Niblet The Flirt - Strudel The Tough Guy - Cookie The Quiet One - Squirt
101 Dalmatians (series):
The Leader - Lucky The Doofus - Rolly The Flirt - Cadpig The Tough Guy - Patch The Quiet One - Two-Tone
Air Buddies:
The Leader - B-Dawg The Doofus - Budderball The Flirt - Rosebud The Tough Guy - Mudbud The Quiet One - Buddha
My main 5 OC's:
The Leader - Belchic The Doofus - Lizzie The Flirt - Tippy The Tough Guy - Noggin The Quiet One - Joey
I'd love to hear other people list groups like that using that method. Want to give it a try, Trey?

I think I can make one exception to my "there have to be five" rule. If there's more than five in the group, and more than one fall under one category, then it could still be accepted. Here are some examples:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic:
The Leader - Twilight Sparkle The Doofus - Pinkie Pie The Flirt - Rarity The Tough Guys - Applejack and Rainbow Dash The Quiet One - Fluttershy
Recess:
The Leader - TJ The Doofus - Mikey The Flirt - Gretchen The Tough Guy - Spinelli The Quiet Ones - Gus and Vince

I know Trey already did a Land Before Time 5MB, but I find it to be inaccurate. I think it's more like this:
The Hero/Smart Guy: Littlefoot The Lancer: Cera The Big Guy: Spike The Chick: Ducky The Bumblebee: Petrie The Tagalong Kid: Chomper The Heart: Ruby
The main 5 of this movie franchise could work for my version as well:
The Leader - Littlefoot The Doofus - Petrie The Flirt - Ducky The Tough Guy - Cera The Quiet One - Spike
Any arguments?
