Hate Sinks in Films — Animation.

  • Aladdin: Prince Achmed not only insults the impoverished Aladdin, but also brandishes a horsewhip on two peasant children. Thankfully, Aladdin intervenes and Achmed is not in the movie for long. His next scene has him storming out of the Sultan's palace, humiliated, after Princess Jasmine's pet Rajah the Tiger bites his rear end, exposing his boxers.
  • An American Tail:
  • Steele from Balto. The conflict revolves around a diphtheria outbreak making all the children in a remote Alaskan town sick. And while one can hate a disease, it's not a character. Steele takes up the slack as a bigoted, spiteful, egotistical, vicious bastard of an Alaskan malamute who willingly makes Balto and the other sled dogs lost, dooming all of the sick children without even a shred of remorse. And all of this because Steele is a literal Glory Hound who would rather that all of the children in town die than not get the praise that comes with being a hero.
  • Bambi II: Ronno (Bambi's rival when he's a yearling in the original movie) gets upgraded into this in the midquel, existing solely to give the audience a physical foe to root against during Bambi's struggles. As his lengthy character profile attests, he is not one to be trusted; he's a throughly obnoxious and unpleasant bully towards everyone, and he's not well liked by the others in turn. While he's not too bad at first, he progressively grows more repulsive as his rivalry with Bambi grows out of control due to a perfect storm of petty jealousy and his arrogant sense of entitlement. He cruelly shows no sympathy for Bambi as he comes to terms with the loss of his mother and struggles to earn the respect of his father, and outright preys on his insecurities from it, to where he uses the fact that the Great Prince sends Bambi off to live with a stepmom as ammo to take him down a notch. You will feel catharsis when Bambi finally snaps and fights him.
  • Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper: We can't hate the main villain, the Queen's advisor Preminger, due to his over-the-top, comedic personality. Erika's boss, Madame Carp, is a different story; she treats Erika like a slave, takes her earnings and is verbally abusive towards her; when she accidentally doles out her treatment on Anneliese, who disguised herself as Erika-all while claiming to be good friends with the kingdom's royal family-karma bites her on the ass when Anneliese reveals the way she treats her employees and her business closes down.
  • Barnyard: Dag is utterly detestable in every conceivable way. On top of being cowardly and sadistic, he also has a lot of Kick the Dog moments like blaming Otis for Ben's death or trying to eat Maddy for calling him a "meaner".
  • Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker: The DCAU version of Joker was always a monster, but most of his appearances are counterbalanced by making him a Laughably Evil Large Ham. This film, on the other hand, shows him at his worst.He kidnapped then-Robin Tim Drake, tortured, mutilated and Mind Raped him for three weeks to re-create him as Joker Jr., and invited Batman over to see his work in detail. He also reveals that he's learned Batman's Secret Identity, mocks him for it, and knifes him before he tosses Joker Jr. a spear gun to finish him off.
  • Bolt features Penny's horribly obnoxious agent, who is always doing what he thinks is best for himself, with no regard for the feelings or well being of the child he's supposed to be looking out for or her mother. Just as a quick example, When Penny almost dies after being trapped in a burning building, he approaches her while she’s in an ambulance and still struggling to breathe, and talks about just how cool of a story it could make. Penny’s mother, understandably, throws him out of the ambulance.
  • A Bug's Life: Hopper. Even though he cares about his deceased mother and her wishes, it's still overshadowed by the fact that he is still a jerkass, a malignant narcissist, and a sadist who loves bullying the ants. The fact that he was more than willing to murder a child and doesn't really need what he steals certainly cements this.
  • Chick Hicks in Cars is a self-absorbed racecar who is obsessed with earning fame from racing and nothing else, eventually leading him to grievously injure one of his opponents just to win a race, which actually causes him to be loathed by even his former fanbase. He exists primarily to show what would happen if Lightning McQueen continued the path he was on.
  • Chicken Run: Mrs. Tweedy is characterized as a vile and greedy "warden" responsible for all the misery on Tweedy's Chicken Farm. She runs the coop like a concentration camp, forcing the chickens to constantly lay eggs to fill her profit margins and sadistically killing any that fails to deliver the quota. When she becomes unsatisfied with their egg production, she decides to turn them all into chicken pies for short-term profits. She is also extremely abusive to her husband, dismissing his concerns about the chickens plotting an escape as mere delusions and forcing him to build (and eventually repair) the pie machine alone.
  • In Cinderella, there is, of course, the requisite Wicked Stepmother, Lady Tremaine. She is emotionally and verbally abusive towards her stepdaughter Cinderella, entirely out of spite. She also is shown emotionally manipulating her own daughters just to bump her own status. Her daughters Anastasia and Drizella count as well in the first film, participating in their mother's cruelty, but they also undergo Character Development in the sequels, netting themselves better fates as a result.
  • The first Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs film does not have a true villain, as Flint's machine is the thing that causes the conflict in the movie, so the corrupt Mayor Shelbourne is made to be as detestable as possible. When Flint discovers his machine is suffering from over-indulging the townspeople's orders, the mayor bullies him into carrying on. Then, as soon as Flint's machine becomes dangerous, he flees the island, leaving everyone to die and blaming Flint for what happened.
  • Coco: Ernesto De La Cruz is exposed as a cowardly, glory-hungry sociopath who not only murders his best friend, Héctor, in order to steal his songs and pass them off as his own, but knowingly deprives Héctor of the opportunity to see his daughter to ensure that he will disappear forever in the Land of the Dead. Then he remorselessly throws Miguel, a 12-year old child, off a building to prevent him from revealing his crimes back in the Land of the Living. And to top it all off, he has spent almost 100 years in comfort and luxury because nobody ever found out what he did. This makes his ultimate comeuppance during the film's climax all the more satisfying.
  • Corpse Bride: Lord Barkis Bittern is a Smug Snake and Gold Digger who marries into prestigious families just so he can kill them and steal their family fortune. He is the one who murdered Emily by taking advantage of her dream to be a bride, acting like a loving fiancee just so he can kill her and steal her family jewels. He later marries Victoria to do the same to her, only to be taken off guard when he finds out Victoria's family is bankrupt, and when the dead enter the World of the Living to attend Victor and Emily's wedding, he attempts to kidnap Victoria to ensure he doesn't leave empty-handed. After Victor foils his plan and Emily stops him from killing Victor, Barkis pretends to concede defeat graciously just to mock Emily and her Tragic Dream, unknowingly drinking the poisoned wine meant for Victor and causing his own death, leaving him at the mercy of the enraged undead.
  • Despicable Me: Miss Hattie is generally cruel to the children in her care. She forces them to sell cookies against their will so she can earn all the profits and sends them to her "Box of Shame" if they fail to make her enough money. It is indeed frustrating that she avoids any consequences for her actions.
  • Even though he's not a villain, Lord Arnold from the Dragon Hunters movie is an old, angry and abusive uncle that doesn't want his niece Zoe to be a hunter.
  • Frozen duology:
    • Frozen:
      • The Duke of Weselton is a greedy jerk who readily accuses the queen of being a monster and whose obnoxious traits make other characters in-universe find him unbearable. At the end of the movie, as a result of his attempted murder of the queen, Arendelle decides to cut all ties with Weselton and he gets forcefully deported from the kingdom for his crimes but not before one of the servants purposely address him as Weasel Town, much to the latter's anger.
      • Prince Hans is a cold-hearted bastard who fakes Love at First Sight with Anna, only to reveal he doesn't actually love her and leaves her to die, and then tries to kill Elsa by claiming that Anna is already dead and striking her at her moment of weakness. The film's sequel shows the heroes have no good opinion of him for what he did to Anna and Elsa, as Elsa refers to him as an "unredeemable monster," Kristoff seeing him as the biggest mistake of Anna's life, and Olaf guessing his name during a game of charades in which Anna acts out the role of a villain. When Anna reveals "villain" was the word she was trying to act out, Olaf comments that he, Elsa, and Kristoff "all kind of got it." Elsa even dismissively shatters an ice statue of him out of spite at one point. His intended role as the Hate Sink didn't stop some viewers from thinking he wasn't all that bad and/or wanting to see him redeemed, though.
    • Frozen II: King Runeard, the grandfather of Anna and Elsa, appeared to be a benevolent ruler but was actually a vengeful and ruthless madman. Paranoid over the magical qualities the Northuldrans displayed, Runeard creates a dam under the guise of a "peace offering" to weaken the Northuldrans until they conformed to his authority. When the leader of the Northuldrans approaches him to air his complaints, Runeard takes advantage of him being unarmed and murders him kickstarting a war between Arendelle and Northuldra. Because of his actions, this resulted in the Enchanted Forest getting closed off from Arendelle by the angered nature spirits.
  • Hercules: Although Nessus is less evil then Hades, he lacks Hades' Laughably Evil charm, making him more of an unlikable brute.
  • Hotel Transylvania: Quasimodo Wilson is the least sympathetic character in the film and he unapologetically tries to kill Johnny, giving the audience someone to root against when the movie has no antagonists.
  • The Incredibles: Gilbert Huph, Bob's supervisor at Insuricare, is a Mean Boss who actively discourages his workers from granting their clients' insurance claims and serves as an easy target for the audience's hate before they meet Syndrome or the Omnidroid. He aggravates Bob's ongoing dissatisfaction with life as a civilian and longing for the Glory Days, which sets most of the plot in motion and leads to a crucial part of his Character Development. Eventually, Huph's complete Lack of Empathy towards a mugging in progress drives Bob past his Rage Breaking Point and he throws Huph through several walls; while Bob is fired for this, it's hard to say Huph didn't have it coming.
  • The Iron Giant: Kent Mansley, the obnoxious government agent sent to investigate the Giant's existence. He is responsible for instigating almost everything that goes wrong in the story, taking a simple story about Hogarth and the Giant enjoying life and making friends and turning it into a dark war movie. He threatens to have Hogarth separated from his mother just to get the Giant's current location out of him, and his Villainous Breakdown near the end of the movie causes him to call in a nuclear bomb on the entire town of Rockwell trying to destroy the Giant, forcing the Giant to make a Heroic Sacrifice to detonate the nuke in space; by contrast, Mansley tries to run away after realising he's going to die as a result of his own actions before being stopped by the Giant and arrested by the military.
  • Isle of Dogs: Major-Domo is a cruel, hard-hearted man who hates dogs and has no qualms about murdering an honest scientist just to ensure they all die. Even after his boss has a change in heart, Major-Domo gives the signal to kill all the dogs anyway.
  • Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox: Flashpoint Wonder Woman is a bloodthirsty, genocidal despot who wants to wipe out all non Amazons and conquer the world, has murdered millions of people during her war with Aquaman, and at the climax of the film, murders a child. The film makes her as monstrous as possible to contrast with her mainstream counterpart.
  • Justice League: Gods and Monsters: Harlequin was easily the most detestable villain within this entire alternate universe. Darkseid was at least Affably Evil since he clearly loved Orion and genuinely wanted him to be happily wed to Bekka, Highfather's actions can be somewhat justified if you choose to believe Darkseid was still evil in this universe, Brainiac was merely a child who had zero control over his actions, and Magnus was clearly not in the least bit sane and even he himself made a Heel Realization by the end of the movie and chose to commit suicide out of guilt for his own atrocities. Harlequin, however, has no sympathetic or likable qualities whatsoever and is an unrepentant psychopath who murders several people to make toys out of their corpses, with one of her victims being a little boy.
  • The Lorax (2012):
    • The Once-ler's family serve as this in the Once-ler's backstory, being the one's responsible for him Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and destroying the forest. They are emotionally abusive of him at the beginning, and only start praising him when the Once-ler's Thneed product starts to show promise. Greedy and lazy, they manipulate the Once-ler into breaking his promise with the Lorax to not cut another Trufulla Tree down, causing him to endlessly cut down trees to make his business a success and turning him into a arrogant and greedy Corrupt Corporate Executive. Once the last tree is cut down, shutting down Thneed production, they quickly disown the Once-ler and abandon him, all the while blaming him and ignoring their involvement.
    • Aloysius O'Hare is the corrupt and greedy mayor of Thneedville and founder of O'Hare Air, a company that sells bottled air. He walled up the city to hide the fact that breathable air is free elsewhere, ensuring that the people will remain dependent on the air his company sells. When he discovers Ted wandering outside the city walls, he has no problems threatening him, and when he discovers he has a truffula tree seed, he does everything he can to prevent it from being planted, from trying to seize the seed, to manipulating the citizens into trying to destroy it. Even after the citizens see the world outside and agree the seed must be planted, he is the only one who does not change his mind, still trying to convince the city to let the seed die, turning the citizens and his men against him.
  • Luca: The movie doesn't portray Ercole Visconti as anything other than a condescending bully and Smug Snake. Nor does Ercole ever see the error of his ways. It is immensely satisfying to see his Villainous Breakdown along with being thrown in the fountain at the end.
  • Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: Makunga may not be a monster like Scar, but he is still a thoroughly despicable asshole. The way he manipulates Alex to get rid of him and Zuba just to be Alpha Lion is low especially considering that they just reunited. Also when the watering hole dried up, he doesn't care one bit about the lives of the other animals even cruelly taunting a child to go look for water off the reserve. In the end, that beatdown that Nana gives him is quite well-deserved.
  • DOR-15 from Meet the Robinsons. Despite his best efforts, Bowler Hat Guy is little more than a misunderstood, harmless buffoon, while it's immediately clear that Doris is not only the real brains behind the operation, but is a real piece of work. First appearing to be little more than a robotic bowler hat, Doris is eventually revealed to be a vengeful and murderous psychopath who spent years emotionally manipulating Bowler Hat Guy/Mike Yagoobian into enacting a decades-long plan to ruin Lewis's life, while also preparing to dispose of BHG the moment he's no longer convenient. Wanting nothing more than to destroy the utopian future and enslave mankind to rebuild it in her own image, Doris doesn't hesitate to try to murder Lewis when he publicly reveals her plans.
  • Monsters, Inc.: Randall Boggs. All of the previous Pixar villains had at least one good point or two but Randall is a whole different story. He's a ruthless, arrogant bully who is willing to do anything for personal gain. Even in the prequel, where he seems to be an awkward, friendly geek, he quickly turns his back on Mike with no remorse the minute he finds more popular friends to bump his status. And, as nasty as the implications were, it can be incredibly satisfying to watch him get trapped in the human world and get beaten up with a shovel by a hillbilly mom.
  • Susan's fiance, Derek, from Monsters vs. Aliens. Gallaxhar may be the Big Bad of the movie, but he's at least Laughably Evil. Derek, on the other hand, is nothing but a selfish jerk who doesn't care about anything except his weatherman job. Just before the wedding, Derek tells Susan that he changed their honeymoon location from Paris to Fresno, just so he could attend a job interview. Then when Susan reunites with Derek after becoming a giant, he breaks up with her because he was afraid that she would overshadow him and his career. Towards the end of the movie, after the monsters save the world, Derek arrives and tells Susan that he wants to take her back, which is obvisouly a lie as he mentions that he got offered a reporting job in New York if he can get an interview with her, and Susan responds by tossing Derek in the air and letting him get caught by B.O.B., who gives Derek a well-deserved "The Reason You Suck" Speech, all on live TV.
  • Ms. Grunion from Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a cruel and mean-spirited social worker who becomes involved when Sherman bites a girl at school. Ms. Grunion makes it clear that she believes a dog can't raise a child properly and takes great pleasure in using her authority to remove Sherman from Mr. Peabody's care. When she painfully drags Sherman away by force, it awakens Mr. Peabody's Papa Wolf instincts and he bites her. She then makes sure he is turned over to animal control to be put down.
  • Chi-Fu from Mulan is a misogynistic, obnoxious, snooty Obstructive Bureaucrat who constantly irritates the other characters with his arrogance. He is even told to his face by the emperor that he can easily be replaced by the heroine. The reason for his presence is that Mulan, as a war movie, has a villainous faction that is difficult to personalize, even once the Hun army is stripped down to a Five-Man Band, and Shan Yu, the movie's resident Big Bad, is a Lightning Bruiser who regards Mulan as a Worthy Opponent, as well as one of the few people in the movie who never cares about her gender.
  • My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games has Principal Cinch, the principal of Crystal Prep Academy, an elite private school that is the rival institution to Canterlot High School. While the students of Crystal Prep are a little overtly competitive, they have nothing on their principal, who within her very first scene proves herself to be loathsome by blackmailing the human Twilight Sparkle, CPA's star student, into competing in the titular games by threatening to deny her application into a prestigious program she had been applying to. Her attitude towards Canterlot High and its students and faculty isn't any better as she belittles them every chance she gets, and even acts like she already won the games before they even started. She also expects nothing but pure perfection from her students and when dangerous plant-like creatures start attacking CHS and CPA students alike, rather than call the games off for the safety of both schools, she instead openly accuses CHS of 'cheating' and forces the games to continue despite protests from the principal of Canterlot High. She reaches her lowest point when she forces poor Twilight into releasing the magic she had inadvertently stole from the main protagonists just to 'ensure' CPA wins the games and even gets the other students to join in on pressuring her. The results ends in disaster and she runs away and hides rather than face the chaos she caused. And once everything is resolved, after everything that happened, she still insists that CHS was cheating and threatens legal action unto the school, but by this point even her own students have had enough and join the CHS students and faculty in telling her off, and she leaves with the little dignity she has left.
  • NIMONA (2023):
    • The Director's an elitist who believes commoners shouldn't join the ranks of knights, going as far as to kill the Queen and frames Ballister for it at all costs. She also has a very low opinion on shapeshifters like Nimona. Even after being exposed of her actions, the Director angrily refused to abandon her hateful beliefs, which ends up endangering the kingdom and making her the most despicable person in the movie.
    • Todd is an obnoxious, bigoted, bullying asshole who treats everyone around him like shit and acts like a Jerk Jock.
  • Oliver & Company has the vicious loan shark Bill Sykes. He terrorizes Fagin, a poor and desperate thief, after the latter fails to deliver him money that he is owed; add to the fact he's got no problems with hurting or threatening animals or children, and you have yourself a Grade-A hate sink.
  • Osmosis Jones has Mayor Phlegmming, the cell currently in charge of Frank Detorre's body. His incompetence as Mayor is the reason for Frank's poor physical health (thereby straining the latter's relationship with his daughter Shane), and his dismissal of Ozzy's warnings about Thrax and abolishing him from the police force nearly lead to the death of Frank and every cell in his body.
  • The Coachman from Pinocchio, a ruthless and terrifying child kidnapper who lures children to his Amusement Park of Doom, Pleasure Island, where they transform into donkeys. And the worst part is that, unlike other Disney villains, he never gets punished for his actions.
  • Planes: Fire & Rescue has Cad Spinner, the Superintendent of Piston Peak National Park, complete with an "It's All About Me" Attitude, who redirected the main water to the sprinkler system of the lodge in an attempt to save it, which eventually got him caught by the higher authorities offscreen and demoted to a ranger at Death Valley in a mid-credits scene.
  • Pocahontas: Governor Ratcliffe. He's a fat, effeminate bigot with no motivation beyond greed and racism. Despite intentionally convincing the residents of Jamestown to wage war on the native "savages", the only consequences he faces are having his plans foiled and being returned to England to supposedly face punishment.
  • The Princess and the Frog: The Fenner Brothers are willing to sell a property Tiana has bought to a gentlemen who outbid her. They suggest that a woman of "her background" would have difficulty running a restaurant when she argues back. At the end, Louis, a normally Gentle Giant of an alligator, intimidates them into keeping their word.
  • In Robots, we can't really hate Corrupt Corporate Executive Ratchet or the true Big Bad Madame Gasket because of their comedic quirks (and Ratchet's desire to be out of his mother's shadow), but the same can't be said for these two:
    • Mr. Gunk is a Mean Boss who tries to destroy Wonderbot when the latter wrecks his kitchen out of fright of his shouting, dismisses Rodney as "the hand-me down son of a dishwasher," fires him without letting him explain, and is an all-around Jerkass to the Copperbottoms. A shot of Laser-Guided Karma bites him in the butt later when he tries to stop Herb from seeing his son and the latter quits his job and throws his dishwasher at the jerk's head toward the end of the film.
    • Tim, the seemingly kind gatekeeper of Bigweld Industries, who is the complete opposite of how he's portrayed on his boss's show, and mocks Rodney's dreams as well, refusing to let him in and laughing at him when he is magnetized on the sidewalk. The karma gods do not take kindly to those actions, however. It's pretty satisfying to see Wonderbot literally kick him out of the party at the end of the movie.
  • Rugrats & The Wild Thornberrys shared universe:
    • Rex Pester from The Rugrats Movie is introduced as a nosy, selfish news reporter that doesn't even bother getting the babies' names right and blows situations out of proportion, as well as generally being uncaring of the situation the babies are in. At the end of the movie, the circus monkeys steal his toupee and he ends up crashing his helicopter for his trouble.
    • Rugrats in Paris: Coco LaBouche, a Mean Boss and Child Hater who tries to trick Chaz into marrying her so that she can become the president of Reptarland. The babies quickly see the bad in her, and even Angelica starts to hate her as the film progresses. After ordering Kira to burn Chuckie's Tragic Keepsake from his late mother and having her lackey Jean Claude try to kill the babies with a giant mech, much satisfaction is to be had when Coco showing her true colors during the wedding gets her fired and Angelica rips her dress to expose her underwear in front of a large crowd.
    • The Wild Thornberrys Movie: Sloan and Bree Blackburn are a poaching couple who are conceived as evil, uncaring animal hunters who take bloodthirsty glee in their actions. Sloan boasts about their plan to force elephants into an electric fence and Bree taunts the cheetah cub Tally about taking his fur for a coat someday. They each express nothing but smugness and sadistic joy at every turn and are the absolute worst of the poachers faced by the Thornberrys.
  • Sausage Party: Douche embodies his name both literally and figuratively. At first, acting like a cocky frat bro over finally being purchased, he completely snaps and vows revenge on Frank for seemingly causing him to be rendered unusable in an accident. Douche proceeds to bulk himself up by murdering various products in ways analogous to rape before forcing himself up a store clerk's ass to control him so he can massacre everybody Frank loves.
  • The Secret of NIMH: Unlike the other Rats of NIMH, Jenner is a selfish, ungrateful, sociopathic bastard designed to be as despicable as possible, desiring nothing but power and displaying a vehement opposition to "The Plan", which is a way for the Rats to live without stealing. When Mrs. Brisby, the widow of fellow NIMH escapee Johnathan Brisby, comes to the rats asking for help to move her house and her family out of the path of the farmer's plow, Jenner deliberately sabotages the moving of the Brisby house so that Nicodemus, the wise and kind leader of the rats, is killed in the process, not caring that Mrs. Brisby's children are trapped inside, and attacks Mrs. Brisby when she warns about NIMH's coming. When his henchman Sullivan turns on him, Jenner slashes him across the stomach and then attempts to kill his rival, Justin, while declaring his sole belief: "Take what you can when you can." It's very satisfying to see him fatally stabbed twice in the span of a minute, the latter being from a dagger thrown by Sullivan. Even then, the results of his actions nearly doom Mrs. Brisby's children when the house sinks into the mud.
  • Shark Tale: While Don Lino serves as the main antagonist, he has a genuinely sympathetic motivation for targeting Oscar. Lola on the other hand is nothing more than a shallow and abusive Gold Digger with no regard for anyone other than herself. She seduces Oscar as soon as he gains his fame as the Sharkslayer and constantly manipulates him while indiscreetly badmouthing Angie. After Oscar comes to his senses and decides to end the relationship, Lola mercilessly beats him, and is fully willing to have Angie kidnapped and murdered just to spite Oscar.
  • Sing duology:
    • Sing: Ash's boyfriend Lance is an emotionally abusive and an unfaithful cheater without any redeeming qualities in sight.
    • Sing 2 has Jimmy Crystal, an abusive boss, an abusive parent, a would-be murderer, and a two-faced glory hog, all rolled into one, with no redeeming qualities in sight.
  • The Thief and the Cobbler: While charismatic in personality and providing some of the film's funnier moments, Zigzag is an utterly selfish, self-serving slimeball of a person who is completely devoid of any sympathetic qualities (it bears noting that a lot of his comedic scenes are based on his ego getting squashed like a freshly peeled apple), and was intended to be such by Richard Williams himself, who based him off of two people he particularly hated (specifically, the film's initial producers Omar Ali Shah and his brother Idries Shash who tried to scam Williams with the project when it was in its initial Nasruddin stage).
  • The Transformers: The Movie: The Quintesson Judge runs a Kangaroo Court in which the "trials" serve as amusement before the prisoners are executed by being dropped into a pit full of Sharkticons. His very first scene has him declare the last survivors of planet Lithone's destruction as innocent and then have them executed anyway, laughing as they are eaten. It says a lot that Grimlock can easily sway the Sharkticons to turn on their master simply by stomping his foot and pointing at the Judge, who then sets himself apart from the other major villains in the movie by refusing to fight back and instead running away from the Sharkticons as they happily chase after their next meal.
  • Toy Story 3 has Lotso, a tyrannical, sadistic, and sociopathic teddy bear who rules Sunnyside with an iron fist and allows toys to be abused in the Caterpillar Room by a group of reckless toddlers. He is also abusive towards his right-hand man, Big Baby. Even worse is when he callously leaves the toys to their deaths in the incinerator, even though Woody and Buzz had risked their lives to save him earlier. As he valued his "strawberry smell", seeing him tied to the grille of a garbage truck and having to suffer being pelted by dirt and bugs for the rest of his life was certainly a fitting punishment for him.
  • Trolls: Creek, despite his initial appearance as a wise and serene individual and romantic interest to Poppy, eventually reveals his true colors as a self-centered and cowardly traitor. To avoid being eaten by the Bergens, Creek remorselessly sells out the rest of the trolls to be devoured in his place, willing to let all of his friends and brethren die solely to save his own skin, and has the gall to tell the captured Poppy that he's doing it for her, as she will at least die with a clear conscience.
  • You Are Umasou: the elder Maiasaura leader shows no qualms or remorse about trying to murder the just-hatched baby T-Rex, Heart in front of it’s adopting mother and showing little regard for how cruel they’re being. They make the excuse of once it’s grown, it could kill the herd but it just shows his blatant disregard for life. When Light (Heart’s brother) and the mother Maiasaura return to the herd, he offhandedly mentions her as a “nuisance” in a rather callous manner and is rather rude to Heart when he returns as Egg Mountain erupts, telling Light not to speak to him, resulting in Heart giving him a well-deserved Death Glare.
