I have once added this entry

  • What An Idiot: Jones, in the animated film. While the animals fought against the invading farmers, Jones sneaked into the windmill, filled it with explosives, set them on fire... and, instead of running away, he drank a bottle of wine. The windmill exploded, and we never heard about Jones again.

Then someone added this below it.

  • Mr. Jones wanted to die, he not only lost his farm, but the respect of his neighbors. He was Driven to Suicide and wanted to take the animals with him, but he wanted them to suffer and starve to death, and thought that by bowing up the windmill they would soon perish

And then, it was all deleted, because of Repair, Don't Respond. However, none of the things said in the second entry are stated in the film. It is a valid WMG entry, but the film does not say that Jones was willing to die, or that he wanted to "torture" the animals somehow. He's just a stock character, with little to no character development at all.
