Ogres are supposed to be ugly, at least in-universe (compared to most ogres in other fiction, Shrek is quite a good-looking chap), but Fiona is on an entirely different class - the only differences to her human form are basically the green skin, ogre ears, wider nose and the extra pounds that make her a BigBeautifulWoman.

* Anastasia from ''{{Disney/Cinderella}}'' is portrayed as one of the "ugly" stepsisters, but as her [[HeelFaceTurn inner goodness]] [[CharacterDevelopment developed]] in the sequels, she veered into this category.

Added DiffLines:
* Most of the dragons from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', except Toothless (who's just plain cute) or [[spoiler:Green Death]] (who's just plain horrifying).
* Most of the cast of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' who aren't the leads, who are more traditionally cute. Even the vampires are adorable!
* Some fans of ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' consider the title character, Emily, to be rather cute for a rotting corpse in a tattered wedding dress whose eye occasionally falls out.
** Her Peter Lorre maggot has his own charm.
* Many of the creatures from ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine''.
* The characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'' utilize this to stand out from all the cute-cute {{Pixar}} style animations flooding the theaters.
* The Stitchpunks in ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', who're basically little ragdolls made out of things like sacking, canvas, and (in the case of two of them) garden gloves. [[spoiler:[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids Most of whom die horribly]].]]
* Minion from ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', who is essentially a little fish-alien who gets about using a gorilla-like mech suit, and [[AffablyEvil is one of the nicest characters in the film]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'': Tyler "Blu" Gunderson.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Epic}}'': Ozzie's a pug. It's obligatory.
* Quasimodo from Disney's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''. Once you get past his deformed face, you'd want to do like the little girl at the end, and cuddle him. Of course he's considerably less ugly than he was supposed to be in the book.
* Seeing as WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}} is a rusty, dirty, ''trash compactor'', he certainly qualifies.
** ''And'' his adorable little disease-harboring pet, a ''cockroach''.
** Creator/{{Pixar}} is good with this trope. See also the more esoteric looking characters in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' and ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife''.

** All of the [[KillerRabbit dangerous baby animals]] in ''[[PixarShorts Partly Cloudy]]''. ''All'' of them. Even the [[PsychoElectricEel Knifefish]]. ''[[EspeciallyZoidberg Especially]]'' [[EspeciallyZoidberg the Knifefish]].
** The little girl in ''[[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts One Man Band]]''.
* Glen Keane absolutely had this in mind when designing Beast for ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''.
* Stitch from ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''. Sometimes very cute. Sometimes very not cute, especially when he's in one of his KillerRabbit moods.
** All of the experiments apply. You could also count [[ThoseTwoGuys Jumba and Pleakley]], too. And Lilo's doll, Scrump. Let's just face it: Chris Sanders loves Ugly Cute.
* Some of the character designs in Dreamworks' ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'', like the giant bug monster, Insectosaurus.
* Another Dreamworks example is [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Princess Fiona]] as an ogre. Ogres are supposed to be ugly, at least in-universe (compared to most ogres in other fiction, Shrek is quite a good-looking chap), but Fiona is on an entirely different class - the only differences to her human form are basically the green skin, ogre ears, wider nose and the extra pounds that make her a BigBeautifulWoman. Nothing else.
* Slyder, the dragon minion of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'''s [[VainSorceress villain]] has obviously been designed so that he looks evil, but not so scary that [[{{Demographics}} little girls]] would turn off the movie. This includes mismatched buck teeth and a rounded horn on his head, not to mention that he seems to be made of [[KungFoley cartoon sound effects]].
* The peglegged, sharp-toothed, gravel-voiced Fidget the bat from ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'' (though he's terrifying in his first appearance).
* Horror, from ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster''. It helps that he's TheWoobie. See, horror stories always have [[DownerEnding sad endings]]...
** Played with in one scene, where the lopsided and deformed Horror walks past a bottle of liquid in Dr Jekyll's laboratory, and is seen through the liquid as a beautiful young man.
* Nearly half the non-human cast of ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', especially Ray.
* The Big-Nosed Thug at the Snuggly Duckling in ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', who reveals himself to be a hopeless romantic in the number "I've Got A Dream".
* ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' has Turbo.
* Tick Tock the Crocodile from Disney's adaptation of ''Disney/PeterPan''. On the one hand, he's a crocodile with a taste for human (in this case Captain Hook's) flesh with razor sharp teeth. On the other hand, he's so goofy-looking and his antics with Hook are so funny that you can't help but find him endearing.
** This is taken even further in the SpinOff series ''WesternAnimation/JakeAndTheNeverlandPirates'' where he's [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120501011053/disney/images/e/e2/124722_CROC.jpg downright adorable with how silly he looks.]]
*** And then there's the baby crocodiles.
* [[AdorableEvilMinions The Minions]] from ''DespicableMe''. Despite the comb-overs, bug-eyes and sickly yellow skin, they're oddly {{Adorkable}}.
* Scrat from ''IceAge'' probably qualifies with that long snout, big eyes and pointed fangs of his.
** Sid is also very weird looking with his wide-set eyes, big nose, and crooked teeth all the way down to his [[HartmanHips slothy hips]]. He's clumsy, awkward, and is voiced by JohnLeguizamo in a tone that goes from normal with a [[SpeechImpediment lisp]] to [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl shrill and girly]]. Everything about him is absolutely huggable.
* Similar to Scrat is Salty from ''AlphaAndOmega'': [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130814110510/alphaandomegafilm/images/e/e3/Sad-Salty-alpha-and-omega-29526307-294-395.jpg I dare you not to completely melt when you look at him!]]
