Donald is one of the most famous Disney characters, next to Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Chip & Dale, and others.

To not include the word "among" implies that Donald is solely at the apex of Disney Fame, when that title belongs to Mickey Mouse. It makes more sense to say that he is a member of this famous collection of characters, which is why I put the "among" there.

Nevermind; now that I thought about it, you're right. It's redundant.
