A subversion of You Dirty Rat!, Jenner is not.
- BoBoiBoy: The Movie: Bora Ra briefly feigns kindness by asking to borrow Ochobot before he cuts to the chase by "forcefully borrowing him" and yanking him out of BoBoiBoy's hands.
- Many Disney villains:
- The Coachman from Pinocchio pretends to be a cordial elderly man who wants children to have a great time without any responsibilities, when in reality he is setting a trap for them by lacing their beer with a substance that turns them into donkeys, which he sells into hard labor for profit afterwards, while the ones who are still able to talk are kept on the island, presumably to pull his coach.
- "I have given me word not to lay a finger or a hook on Peter Pan. And Captain Hook never breaks a promise..."
- Cinderella: Lady Tremaine. She doesn't often raise her voice and can seem quite pleasant, but she loves the use of Exact Words and is a Manipulative Bitch whenever it comes to setting her daughters on Cinderella.
- Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty is a horned fairy with pale green skin — and acts and talks just like the prim high-society lady she bitterly wishes she were treated as. Her worst moment is in Prince Philip's dungeon cell, where she "comforts" him by promising to let him out in 100 years to free Princess Aurora...at which point both he and his horse will be so old and frail they will barely be able to walk.
- Alice in Wonderland: The Queen of Hearts likes to pretend that she's courteous, lecturing Alice on manners to try to get her to be a civilized lady while speaking to her in a soft voice and addressing her as "my dear". At the same time, she is a psychopath with a Hair-Trigger Temper who suffers from severe mood swings, ordering people beheaded for the most trivial reasons. While she does act courteous, the façade falls apart when anything goes wrong for her, and she becomes a noisy tyrant.
- Ursula from The Little Mermaid (1989) acts generous and sympathetic while offering contracts to her victims. By the time they realized they've been swindled, it is too late.
- 101 Dalmatians: Cruella de Vil is able to act friendly whenever the situation calls for it, but it's plainly apparent that her intentions are not good. When her plans get derailed, she drops the act and becomes downright intimidating.
- The Jungle Book (1967):
- Shere Khan has a mock gentleman personality, speaking respectfully with Kaa while not so subtly threatening him. When he meets Mowgli, he mockingly gives him a 10 second head start because "that makes the chase more interesting... for me."
- Kaa acts very courteous to Mowgli, but this is only to lure him into a false sense of security before eating him.
- The Sword in the Stone: The magnificent, marvelous Mad Madame Mim!
- The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood (1973) is quite positive and courteous on the surface, but it's just to toy with everybody. He'll take from the church's poor box, a blind beggar's cup, or a crying child's birthday present, and he'll enjoy every rotten moment of it — all the while asserting in his folksy Southern accent that Prince John sends his best regards.
- The Rescuers: Percival C. McLeach acts superficially sociable, but he's nothing more than a violent thug who doesn't care who he hurts in his pursuit of Marahute.
- The Great Mouse Detective: Ratigan. This is ultimately one of the things, as mentioned above, that makes his Villainous Breakdown all the more intimidating; he puts up a slick and suave exterior, but we occasionally see hints of his feral nature kept just under control...until the final showdown.Ratigan: My dear Bartholomew... I'm afraid that you've gone and upset me.
- Aladdin: Jafar in most of his appearances in the first half of the movie. Sure he might have been level-headed and courteous toward Jasmine and the Sultan, but it was only because he had to be in so to cover his true motives, not to mention as while courteous to their faces (while still being quite manipulative) he was clearly shown to drop the demeanor whenever not in their presence. It's half the reason fans love him.
- The Lion King (1994): Scar acts like a sympathetic uncle towards Simba while secretly plotting his and Mufasa's deaths.
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Grimhilde is this when she disguises herself as a peddler, acting like a generous old granny while trying to poison Snow White.
- Shan-Yu from Mulan, depending on how you take his gentle tone of voice. Whenever the Huns catch two Imperial scouts, he kneels down and adjusts one of their scarves and compliments them for finding the Hun Army. He even lets them go, to tell the Emperor he's coming. And then has one of them shot In the Back. Also when he says that they must go through the village to 'return' a doll to a little girl.Shan Yu: Go! Tell your Emperor to send his strongest armies. I'm ready.
[The two soldiers scurry off, one after the other.]
Shan Yu: How many men does it take to deliver a message?
Hun Archer: One. - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney) has Claude Frollo, who affects a thoughtful demeanor towards Quasimodo, acting as though his exile in the belltower is a kindness, saving him from the cruelties of the outside world.
- Hercules has Hades as its Faux Affably Evil Big Bad. He talks like a used car salesman and makes wisecracks while screwing over everybody as much as possible. That being said, outside of his source material, he acts more Affably Evil instead in comparison to the other Disney villains, particularly in Mickey's House of Mouse.Hades: Baboom. Name is Hades, lord of the dead. Hi, howya doin'?
- Bradley Uppercrust III from An Extremely Goofy Movie. He's courteous to team prospects (though passive-aggressive to non-prospects and others) but never means any of it. He's merciless enough to intentionally endanger his opponents and leave his own right hand man to pass on.
- The Princess and the Frog: "A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier."
- Tangled: Mother Gothel's domineering mother act and her general manipulative personality is this in spades.
- Wreck-It Ralph: King Candy. Oh, King Candy. At first glance, this little Mad Hatter knockoff seems about as harmful as a cube of taffy. But it becomes slowly clear that he's infinitely more malicious than he lets on. It also helps that he's an excellent fibber, and savvy enough to have everyone, up to and including the audience, eating out of his palm.
- Frozen (2013): Prince Hans, as part of his status as The Sociopath. Again, he's good enough to dupe the viewer. His role throughout the film is posing as a sensitive love interest and heroic Prince Charming figure to nearly everybody he interacts with, but it's all a facade to gain good publicity on Arendelle and build a close relationship with Anna. When he no longer has to, he shows himself as a smug, confident, and ambitious individual who not only rubs it in her face, but is able to pretend to have grief for her at the drop of a hat when he tells the other dignitaries that Anna has passed on.
- Zootopia: Bellwether puts on a facade of friendliness as a politician and tries to win Judy Hopps over to her side. When Judy refuses to join the anti-predator conspiracy, Bellwether wastes no time trying to engineer her murder by turning Nick savage.
- Moana: Tamatoa the crab monster. He acts silly and contentedly starts singing a very upbeat Glam Rock Villain Song to Moana, then tries to eat her in the middle of it before delivering a savage beating to Maui.
- King Magnifico in Wish (2023) appears and acts like a benevolent king who seemingly grant wishes to his own subjects but it turns out that he hoards almost all of them that aren't beneficial to him in any way. His initial interaction with Asha briefly shows the petty cruel tyrant underneath before ultimately shedding it all together after using the forbidden magic that he initially refused to use just because of a potential threat to his kingdom.
- Dreamworks Animation:
- Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2.
- Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After. Right up until his victims sign the Deal with the Devil, he is all courtesy and sweet talk. Then he laughs manically at their doomed fate.
- Kung Fu Panda 2: Lord Shen is very pleasant and respectful to his foes, but he doesn't even attempt to hide that he is a bellicose monster. When his enemies don't heed any of his warnings, he stops the threatening formalities and quickly proceeds to blow anyone up who opposes him.
- The Bad Guys (2022): Professor Marmalade is an all-loving philanthropist in public, and even then he's very smug and condescending without any real shame. It's not until he tries to frame the Bad Guys for his heist of the meteorite — and doesn't hide it enough in front of Diane — that it ever breaks, and by then, he's too far gone to hide it anymore.
- Ice Age: Continental Drift: Captain Gutt is quite upbeat and can come across as courteous in a few scenes, but the charm does little to disguise the bloodthirsty, ungenerous pirate he really is. In his very first scene, he claims he is "here to help", but then tosses one of the rats on his ship overboard and mercilessly tortures Manny over his family.
- Laika
- Corpse Bride: Barkis attempts to make himself presentable and tries to put on a charmingly courteous demeanor in order to wed Victoria, even though it is clear to viewers that his intentions are no good.
- The Other Mother from Coraline acts under the facade of a doting, loving, enjoyable parent as a means of luring unsuspecting children. She recreates the Pink Palace and improves them, creating denizens and wonders that makes her world seem more appealing for the children before she traps them by sewing buttons into their eyes, holding their souls hostage. When Coraline rebels, she developed a Glamour Failure, her appearance becoming more exaggerated and monstrous as the film goes on and doing more twisted and inhumane things, all while behaving as if nothing has changed.
- Archibald Penelope Snatcher from The Boxtrolls, both in his regular identity and as Madame Frou-Frou, acts as a productive member of society, gaining the support of the general populous for committing a "public service" (getting rid of boxtrolls) and entertaining them as Frou-Frou (which is really just anti-boxtroll propaganda to keep the public on his side). He maintains an air of culture and sophistication due to his ambitions of becoming an aristocrat, when really he is just a sociopathic thug.
- When Kubo meets his grandfather the Moon King from Kubo and the Two Strings, he comes to Kubo through a dream, acting as a thoughtful elderly man who leads him to his father's helmet when really he is leading him to a trap where the remaining Sister is waiting for them. When they meet face to face, the Moon King tries to talk Kubo into giving up his remaining eye and living with him in the Heavens. As their conversation goes on, the Moon King's mood shifts between jubilation of his own magnificence to disgust at the mortal realm and anger toward Kubo's defiance, signs of madness evident in the way he hunches and cackles as he does. After a while, he realizes Kubo will never side with him and drops all pretense, transforming into a monster with the intention of torturing and killing him to teach him a lesson.
- The Sisters can count as this as well, laughing as they float toward him, asking him to "come to [his] aunties" so that they can take his other eye.
- Lord Business, the main antagonist in The LEGO Movie, is a practical embodiment of this trope. It is truly creepy how he can be completely conversational one minute, before descending into pure twisted evil without having to change his mood due to his sheer enjoyment of people's suffering. Of course, seeing as there's always something behind that expression, you can't trust this guy at all as anything he says is either dripping with sick joy at his manipulation of others or crushing wrath if you ever disappoint him. So plenty of treading on an incredibly fine line around him. Just because he's a LEGO figure... The scene involving Good Cop Bad Cop's parents and the inevitable erasure of Good Cop is full-blooded evidence of Lord Business' basis in this trope. Just watch his expressions and behavior — you will not be able to argue differently.
- The Lorax (2012): O'Hare speaks in a chummy tone that barely masks his greed and paranoia, before snapping at Ted and telling him not to get in his way.
- Scarlet Overkill in Minions initially seems to be Affably Evil like most of the other super villains, but after Bob becomes King of England, she quickly drops the act and shows just how "affable" she really is.
- My Little Pony: The Movie (2017): The Storm King is really silly and Laughably Evil, and he can be rather philosophical and even-tempered, but he's still a heartless, power mad tyrant who wants to Take Over the World and is quick to pull a You Have Outlived Your Usefulness on his second in command. Also, any benevolence he shows his army is not genuine, but merely Pragmatic Villainy to keep them content and faithful to him.
- The Nightmare Before Christmas: "You'd better pay attention now, 'cause I'm the Boogie Man!"
- Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension: Doof-2 first appears to be Affably Evil like his main universe counterpart, but quickly proves to be much more destructive and intimidating than the real Doof. He always considers others as a leverage to his adavantage and is ready to harm them for his goal. He even tried to feed the first dimension Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry, and Doof to the goozim while he takes over the first dimension Tri-State Area.
- His wife Charlene-2 acts like a sympathetic matriarch, but is just as bad as he is. She was responsible for turning the second dimension O.W.C.A animal agents into ruthless cyborgs to enforce the family reign. She even planned on turning Phineas-2, Candace-2 and Ferb-2 into cyborgs after tricking them into freeing her husband.
- Bonus points go for their daughter Vanessa-2 as she tricked Candace-2 so that the family can escape custody with the help of her boyfriend Tony Marzulo.
- Pixar:
- Toy Story:
- Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2 acted in a grandfather-like manner to Woody, but that was just a facade to hide his bitterness and loathing of kids and space toys.
- Lotso, from Toy Story 3, pretends to be gregarious to the toys at first, only revealing his real wicked nature later.
- Hopper from A Bug's Life has moments when he acts courteous while or after doing something horrendous. While making ready to feed Dot to Thumper, he courteously asks her if she's scared of grasshoppers. After three of his gang ask why they need to go back to Ant Island, he behaves as though he concurs with them - that it would be a better idea to stay home; then he kills them, explaining that they are not returning primarily for food, but to keep the ants in line.
"Does anybody else wanna stay?"- Jackson Storm from Cars 3 is open and superficially sociable, but always has a couple of harsh barbs at hand.
- Coco: Ernesto is a gregarious, optimistic, admittedly somewhat cocky but generally nice-seeming musician. Then it turns out he's a phony baloney, a murderer, and a thief who murdered Hector in order to steal his guitar and music, and as soon as Miguel finds this out, he hurls both Miguel and Hector into a cenote, uncaring that Miguel was about to pass on and Hector fade away.
- Toy Story:
- The Prophet: The Commandant is not only a philosophical and patient man but also a callous one. His talk of philosophy with Mustafa very clearly lays out an oppressive and totalitarian worldview and his offer of salvation to Mustafa is worded neutrally but tonally drips with contempt. It's especially obvious seeing as what he's offering to save Mustafa from is the firing squad he's sentenced Mustafa to.
- Nigel, the sadistic Dragon-in-Chief in Rio. He rarely outright insults someone, and tends to talk in a calm, friendly manner... while relishing in his villainy and "convincing" someone to be his Mook by dropping them from several hundred feet.
- The Grand Duke Of Owls in Rock-A-Doodle. As a grand duke, he tries to act civilized, but his Hair-Trigger Temper ruins it. Even while philosophical it is clear his respectful attitude is a façade."Hello, kitty? It's the duke. I'm afraid I have some bad news, I'm afraid. Ahem, when the batteries expire, so will your friends. And too-da-loo, cheerio, bye".
- Rock and Rule: Anyone want a beer?
- More than any other of the rats from The Secret of NIMH, Jenner knows how to appeal to ideals in order to manipulate others which helps him maintain a significant standing among the council despite his bellicose approach. As soon as he regards Mrs. Brisby as a tool for his coup, he starts to pretend to show graceful chivalry to the point of calling himself along with his brethren her humble servants at once, despite it being clear that he feels neither humble nor servile.
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Bowser sometimes acts courteously to his enemies, but absolutely none of it is genuine. It really is all a mere façade that he uses in order to try and hide his true sadism and depravity. Once he drops the act, he's a snarling monster and an unhinged, cruel, and monstrous sociopath who is hellbent on making everyone around him suffer as much as possible with absolutely zero remorse. Probably the best example is when Peach refuses his declaration of marriage at the altar.
- Rothbart from The Swan Princess: He had the king slaughtered and kidnapped the titular princess in order to gain control of the kingdom—because he learned the first time around that stealing it wasn’t the way to go, and always remains one step ahead of the heroes. If not for blind luck, the main characters would be dead. He's also a Deadpan Snarker of sorts and never loses his cool.
- The Thief and the Cobbler: Zigzag, the Evil Chancellor. He gives the king a "bountiful maiden" and a massage, and speaks in rhyme—but his "gregarious" actions are just for manipulation and to keep the king busy.
- King Mighty One-Eye counts as well. He listens to Zigzag's proposal in the One-Eyes camp in a relaxed manner, but when Zigzag claims to have charmed beasts before giving the three golden balls, King Mighty One-Eye scoffs at this by ordering Zigzag to be fed to the alligators as he feels that he's useless, though he would change his mind afterwards.
