** ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'': Sykes is easily willing to harm a hostage Jenny Foxworth (Oliver's new owner), especially if her upper-class family consisting of her unseen parents and butler Winston doesn't surrender his extorted ransom. He proves this trope even further in the climax when he [[spoiler: attempts to drag Jenny with him on the subway tracks when an upcoming train could come and mow both of them down]]. Though Sykes might be blinded from his impending doom by his VillainousBreakdown, this still proves as a horrific threat to the young wealthy heiress.

* In ''WesternAnimation/IceAge1'', the sabertooth tigers try to eat a mother and her baby, and continue to hunt the baby after [[spoiler: the mother dies in her escape attempt. One tiger, Diego, has a change of heart after spending time with the baby and growing fond of him]].

** ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'': Hopper has no compunction against threatening baby Princess Dot.

Fortunately, both Oliver and Dodger are able to prevent this, leading to Sykes being mowed down himself by a train on the Brooklyn Bridge, knocking him flying into the East River below.

* In the [[ArtisticLicenseHistory very loosely based-on-a-true-story]] film ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', Rasputin attempts to murder Anastasia as a child in retribution for [[SinsOfTheFather her father exiling him for treason]]. It is all but stated that he succeeded in getting her brother and sisters killed. A decade later, he tries once again to murder a teenage Anastasia.

** Both PlayedStraight and Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Helen explains to Dash and Violet that yes, the {{Mook}}s would hurt a child. And they try to. Fortunately, the kids are resourceful enough to fight back... It was already demonstrated when Bomb Voyage planted a bomb on Buddy's cape, which forced Mr. Incredible to save him while Bomb Voyage escapes. [[spoiler: The fact that this is also the case with Syndrome is a [[EvenEvilHasStandards contributing factor]] to Mirage's HeelFaceTurn.]]

** In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'', Bratt [[spoiler: kidnaps Gru's daughters and holds them for ransom]].

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': The Hyenas and Scar. The former nearly eat Simba and Nala after they wander onto the elephant graveyards (although averted when Mufasa shows up) and Scar, who shows no qualms about putting his own ''nephew'' in extreme danger to achieve his ultimate goal –- becoming king of the Pride Lands. First, he tricks Simba into the gorge below Pride Rock before sending –- with the hyenas' help –- a stampede of wildebeests through, forcing Simba to hang on for dear life. Mufasa is able to rescue Simba, but this results in Scar murdering the injured Mufasa by throwing him back into the stampede. Later, as a mourning Simba is exiled from the Pride Lands, Scar sends the hyenas after Simba, who would have died if not for sheer luck.

** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieOfSwanLake'', Rothbart turned the children in the EnchantedForest into [[BalefulPolymorph animals against their will]].

** [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant The Coachman]] in ''{{WesternAnimation/Pinocchio}}''... well, let's just say that he does ''worse'' than hurt.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'', Gru thinks he's capable of this [[spoiler: but over time grows to love the three orphans he adopted as a true father]]. His rival, Vector, actually is not above child endangerment to accomplish his schemes.

** In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMeThree'', Bratt [[spoiler: kidnaps Gru's daughters and holds them for ransom]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'': Hopper has no compunction against threatening baby Princess Dot.

* Franchise/{{Pixar}}:

** ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' opens with the 14-year-old protagonist nearly being viciously assaulted by a SoreLoser gangster and it's quite clear that [[BigDamnHeroes had Tadashi not shown up when he did]], it would have ended ''very badly''.

* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' opens with the 14-year-old protagonist nearly being viciously assaulted by a SoreLoser gangster and it's quite clear that [[BigDamnHeroes had Tadashi not shown up when he did]], it would have ended ''very badly''.

* A plan involving Randall and [[spoiler:Mr. Waternoose]] in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' may not have specifically aimed at killing children, but the results of the Scream Extractor seem anything but harmless.
* Shan-Yu from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' is the most terrifying animated example of this trope. He picks up a little girl's doll that his scout bird brought him, talks about having to return it to her. And the next time we see the doll, [[EmpathyDollShot it's lying in the barren wasteland of a town that was burned to the ground.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'': Once Big Baby learns about [[AbusiveParents Lotso's true nature]], Lotso does not hesitate to beat Big Baby right in the stomach with his wooden mallet.

* The other PG Pixar Film, ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'', has the villain send dogs to attack the kid there, and before he died, almost shot the kid as well. Pixar seems to tell people that villains can, and will, harm and kill children if they have the option.

** Madam Mim in ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'' tells 12-year-old Wart she's afraid she's going to have to kill him... by turning herself into a cat while he's transformed into a little bird. It's downplayed because Merlin intervenes in time, but still.

* Percival [=McLeach=] from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' was going to lower Cody into a river full of crocodiles. And before that, he threatened him with knives as part of an interrogation, as pictured above.
** Notably, [=McLeach=] doesn't want to just kill Cody, but specifically wants to feed him to the crocodiles, as he dunks him once before pulling him back up to lower him again, and when Bernard steals the keys to his rig so he can't lower Cody any more, he gets his shotgun out...to shoot the rope, not Cody. He's not just willing to hurt/kill a child, he wants to do it in the most horrifying way he can at the moment.

* ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' films:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'': The FauxAffablyEvil Ratigan is revealed -- in [[VillainSong song,]] no less - to have drowned widows and orphans. Near the end, during the Big Ben battle, he's shown kicking Olivia off a large gear, directly into the path of being crushed by two other gears. Luckily Basil is able to rescue her, just barely in time -- which really triggers a VillainousBreakdown in Ratigan.
* ''WesternAnimation/HappilyNeverAfter'': Frieda changes the story of ''Little Red Riding Hood'' so the wolf eats her, and also threatens to feed the baby Rumpelstiltskin stole to the crocodiles.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'': Judge Claude Frollo, in the first few minutes of the film, would have dropped baby Quasimodo down a well if not for the intervention of the Archdeacon, who demanded that Frollo raise the infant to atone for killing Quasimodo's mother. He also tries to burn an innocent family alive in their own house, two children included.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'': Kent Mansley. When he thinks Hogarth can lead him to the Giant, he follows the boy aggressively. When that fails, he overpowers Hogarth and subjects him to PerpSweating and [[InstantSedation knockout by chloroform]]. He finally threatens to use his power as a government agent to [[DepartmentOfChildDisservices take Hogarth away]] from his mother.
* Shere Khan in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'' is insanely devoted to slaughtering a certain human boy.

* Captain Hook of ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' puts a bomb in a house full of children, makes a teenage girl walk the plank, and sics his pirate crew on the children when they try to escape from him... and just watch him go all AxCrazy in the climax against Peter. He even pulls a [[ISurrenderSuckers false surrender]] on Peter after the latter agrees to spare Hook's life.
** Earlier, the Native Americans capture the children, suspecting that they have hidden Princess Tiger Lily, and threaten to burn them at the stake if she is not returned to the tribe by sunset.
* [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant The Coachman]] in ''{{WesternAnimation/Pinocchio}}''... well, let's just say that he does ''worse'' than hurt.

* King Candy in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' [[spoiler:tried to delete Vanellope from the game's code, and when that failed turned her into a glitch. Then when she races him, he slams into her, tries to knock her out using a dislodged gearshift and finally pushes her in front of his car intending to smash her into a stalactite. This trope may be slightly out of place due to all characters being ageless video game characters, but Vanellope was programmed as 9-years-old.]]
