** In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', Randall is one to Sulley. Both of them are top scarers at the company, but Sulley is a GentleGiant who is kind and respectful to all of his coworkers and treats his best friend and scare assistant Mike like an equal, whereas Randall is an example of ReptilesAreAbhorrent that isn't very nice to anyone, and treats his scare assistant Fungus like dirt while also forcing him to be his accomplice. Since the company scares kids to extract screams for power in spite of believing them to be toxic, Sulley initially fears them, but warms up to a little girl name Boo and comes to realize they aren't toxic at all (though he tragically realizes they're being traumatized when he accidentally scares her), while Randall wants to kidnap them and forcibly extract their screams, regardless of what harm it will do to them. They're also both closely associated with Mr. Waternoose, but Sulley is well-liked and respected by the CEO as the son he never had, while Randall [[spoiler:is his accomplice in the scream extractor scheme, but isn't liked by Waternoose in the slightest]]. Also accounting ''WesternAnimation/MonstersAtWork'', ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' and the original film's ending, [[spoiler:Sulley is a BenevolentBoss to the company who works hard to make sure every keeps their jobs and makes children happy through laugh power, having the position of CEO [[YouKilledItYouBoughtIt thrust upon him]] after Waternoose is arrested; while Randall, upon his brief return to Monstropolis, desires to take over the company so he can force the city back to scream power, regardless of who it screws over, because he wants the power more than anything else.]] ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' further fleshed out the two's differences by revealing that Randall UsedToBeASweetKid who fell in with a bad crowd and TookALevelInJerkass to the point he destroyed his friendship with Mike, while Sulley used to be a JerkJock who was TheRival to Mike until he TookALevelInKindness and became his best friend.

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'' has a very subtle but themetically beautiful example with the Dog aka Perito being the Good Counterpart to the Wolf aka [[spoiler: [[TheGrimReaper Death]]]]. They are both the only caninines in the film, both are spanish, both wear clothes and hoods (both appearing to Puss in disguise initally) and they are both unnamed for the majority of the movie. Except while Wolf [[spoiler:being Death]] is nasty, cruel and violent terrorising Puss at his lowest, Perito is compassionate and gentle helping Puss recover from a panic attack, in many ways representing life and the will to live. Not to mention Perito has warm blue eyes compared to Wolf's scary red eyes.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'':
** Miles and his self-proclaimed nemesis [[spoiler: Jonathan Ohnn, AKA the Spot]], is the definitive Evil counterpart to Miles as:
*** Both are very book-smart, especially when it comes to science, and will figure out how to use that knowledge in-battle.
*** Both got their powers because of Kingpin's Super Collider, as Miles got bit by a spider from another dimension and Spot became a HumanoidAbomination after being merged with dark matter from the Super Collider.
*** At first, they did not know how to use their new powers until the climax of their respective movies.
*** The Spider-Society considers both of them to be anomalies.
*** Both are brilliant-minded people who feel insecure about the way people treat them (Miles hates that people tell him how he should move forward with his future while Spot is mocked by everyone for his appearance).
*** However, Miles uses his superpowers for good and to protect people, and couldn't really care any less what the Spider-Society thinks of him. The Spot, on the other hand, is incredibly petty and upset about being made fun of and viewed unfairly, to the point where this fuels his desire to destroy the universes of every Spider-Person ever, and even believes Miles' role in destroying the collider is what led to his new form. If Miles had a vindictive and petty nature against those who viewed him unfairly, he would end up becoming like the Spot.

* Soto to Manny in ''WesternAnimation/IceAge''. Both have lost family/pack members to the humans, but while Manny learns to forgive and leave his past behind, Soto is frantically focused on getting revenge on the humans, which is why he wants to eat the baby.
* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'':
** Tai Lung is the evil counterpart to [[ActionGirl Tigress]]. Neither of them know their real parents (the latter was raised in an OrphanageOfLove, the former was a DoorstopBaby), and [[WellDoneSonGuy just wanted their teacher's love]]. Like Tai Lung, Tigress believed that she would be chosen as the Dragon Warrior by Oogway, and resented Po for 'stealing her thunder'. Also, both are big [[CatsAreMean felines]] who suffer from {{Pride}} and [[BerserkButton a bad temper]]. Unlike Tai Lung, Tigress remained honorable by choosing to become an even better and more worthy warrior. This decision, combined with her defeat at the Thread of Hope, kept her from following the same path as him.
** Shen is this to Po in the second film. Both have parental abandonment issues, and are real animals likened to mythical beasts (Po the Panda is the Dragon Warrior, while Shen the peacock is clearly meant to be a phoenix with his [[PlayingWithFire passion for fire]]) and have FailedAttemptAtDrama moments.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' and its [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 sequel]], unsurprisingly given it's a {{deconstruction}} of the superhero genre, don't shy away from this trope. Interestingly, while Syndrome reflects Mr. Incredible, [[spoiler: Evelyn Deavor]] reflects Elastigirl.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', both Fiona and Farquaad are odd, but this inspires Fiona to love the people who are like her, whereas Farquaad envies and hates anyone who isn't. There are also some parallels with Shrek, who accepts people's right to have opinions (even if they're bigoted) and talks back instead of silencing them.
