* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''
** Sid is horrific to his toys in particular, but he doesn't limit himself to his own toys, giving the same treatment to the toys belonging to his sister Bonnie without a single care to how she feels about it.
** While Woody's jerkish behavior toward Buzz is born out of a fear of being replaced and he grows out of it, the Woody of the Black Friday Reel is a pure asshole to pretty much all of the toys in general, which almost doomed the production of the actual movie and Pixar's career in general.

* In Franchise/{{Disney|AnimatedCanon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', when the Queen is on her way out to poison Snow White, she passes a skeleton reaching for a jug of water just outside his dungeon cell. "Thirsty?" she mocks; "Then have a drink!" and throws the jug at the skull, destroying it, showing she has no respect for the dead.

** In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has a character-establishing moment at the beginning where the protagonist comforts a child who has dropped an ice-cream cone by... giving him a balloon, after twisting it into some kind of four-legged animal. Protagonist then produces a pin and pops said balloon, and walks off contentedly. Cut to a shocked child with bits of balloon stuck to his face. Yes, he's despicable. His jerkness is further established in the car he drives, an ugly polluting rocket shaped monstrosity; in the fact that he bumps other cars out of the way to park, and when he goes in to the cafe to get a coffee he freezes all the other customers with his freeze ray and goes to the front of the line to get his coffee (which probably was meant for someone else). At least he tips well.

* Even after becoming a "zillionaire" through his company that sells fresh air to people, Mr. O'Hare from ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' is willing to do anything to prevent the trees that used to be abundant in Thneedville from coming back. [[spoiler: Including painting over Audrey's mural of trees.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', [[AbusiveParents Pete]] decides that what he really wants to do after forcing his son PJ to knock down the last pin for him in his bowling game (which is one of the many things he does to PJ for a selfish reason of needing something done but being too lazy to do it himself) is to offer to give him a high-five, take it back, and then laugh in his face after he falls for it, visibly upsetting him. There was no reason at all for him to do that, not even a selfish one. And he does it just after attempting to give [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Goofy]] some [[PoisonousFriend parenting advice.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Let's put what King Candy did to Vanellope in human terms: He invaded her world and attempted to murder her, but failed. He did manage to cripple her in the attempt, though, and was able to usurp her position by manipulating her mind and the minds of her subjects. He distorted the other kids' memories of her and turned them against her, encouraging them to pick on her for the disability he inflicted upon her. Then he changed the rules specifically to exclude her from an event she used to love before her memories were lost, and all the while she can still feel the affinity she has for the sport. Remember, the character he's doing all this to is designed as a nine-year-old girl. His reason? He can't stand not being the center of attention. Yeah, he definitely deserves all that comes his way in the movie's climax.

*** Sid in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' arguably exhibits TroublinglyUnchildlikeBehavior in the way he mistreats his toys, but that's not enough to make him a bad kid (and says more about his parents than him, particularly his ability to acquire working explosives). But then we see him steal one of his sister's dolls and mutilate it as well, just to make her upset. For what turns out to be at least the third time.
