** No trope could better describe the villain of the first film, Tai Lung. He's a snarling, psychotic ArrogantKungFuGuy that every single character is terrified of, but his [[FreudianExcuse backstory]] engenders such sympathy that the [[WordOfGod creators themselves]] worried that they'd taken it too far.

* Anastasia and Drizella of ''{{WesternAnimation/Cinderella}}'' are a prime example of this trope. After Cinderella leaves, their mother treats them the way she treated Cinderella. They're supposed to deserve it because they bullied Cinderella, but Anastasia's plot in the two sequels proves the girls are only the way they are now because they've never been taught any better and their mother is the only role model they've ever had. And Lady Tremaine's indiscriminate evil finally becomes manifest when she tries to attack Anastasia during the third movie's climax, for having the audacity to help Cinderella, which forces Cinders herself to step in to protect her.

The Big Bad Fox And Other Tales has a trope page now.
* The titular character from the French animated film ''WesternAnimation/TheBigBadFoxAndOtherTales'' is basically the often mistreated sidekick of a more villainous and ruthless wolf. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain He tries so hard to make himself be feared by the farm animals but everyone either treats him like a joke or uses him as a punching bag or both.]] When some baby chicks imprint on him and think he's their mother, he at first acts mean to, tells them scary stories and rejects them, but eventually warms up to them. His tearful expression when the real mother of the chicks shows up and refuses him visitation rights just makes him even more pitiable.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', while she genuinely loves her daughter, Ming comes off as a overprotective and smothering mother. Once Mei starts to turn back and forth into a red panda, her anxiety gets the better of her, from taking her daughter away from a party and misblaming the latter's friends for being "bad companions", [[spoiler:to turning into a rampaging {{Kaiju}}-sized red panda after Mei decides to keep the red panda spirit against her wishes]]. [[spoiler:However, as Mei finds out in the astral place, it's revealed that Ming's ControlFreak tendencies are generational, since in her youth she was also pressured by her own mother to be perfect, until she lashed out at her and she lost control of her powers, accidentally scarring her, something that she never forgave herself for.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'':
** Stinky Pete, who spent his whole life stuck on a toy shelf never being sold until Al came along. Once he was finally bought, he was kept in the box as a collector's item instead of a toy.
** Al is a greedy, hostile and occasionally lazy opportunist who steals a woman's possession despite being told it wasn't for sale. Other than that, he doesn't appear to be a dishonest businessman and his trade with the toy museum was implied to be entirely fair. His visible sadness in his final scene is completely understandable, and even rational. WordOfGod even gives him a FreudianExcuse that his obsession with toys as an adult comes from the fact that his parents never let him play with them as a child.

* Spinel from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie''. Yes, she appears out of nowhere with the intention to wipe out organic life on Earth and attempts to kill Steven, [[spoiler:but she was abandoned in the garden by Pink Diamond, who had just gotten Earth as her first colony. [[AndIMustScream She was forced to stand in one spot for 6,000 years, not moving a muscle or doing anything.]] After finding out that Pink Diamond was gone, with Steven taking her place, she ''snapped''. Even when Steven is willing to try to be her friend after hearing about that, he accidentally convinces her that he's going to use her weapon against her, causing her to snap again (which she claims is even ''worse'' when she realizes she's trying to murder the one person who seems to like her). She admits that the entire incident really took a toll on her and caused severe trust issues.]]

* Anastasia from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''. Anastasia only treats Cinderella with contempt as a direct result of the abuse she's received from her own mother. She only wants someone to love her for who she is, [[spoiler:which eventually prompts her to [[HeelFaceTurn refuse to marry the Prince]] in ''WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime'', when it becomes clear her mother is only using her to climb in social standing. Lady Tremaine, by this time, reaches the apex of her abusive nature and attempts to attack Anastasia, before a horrified Cinderella steps in to protect her, followed in turn by the Prince. In the end, Cinderella forgives Anastasia and the two repair their relationship, finally saving Anastasia from the cycle of abuse.]]
