Hypocrite / Animated Films

• 9: Subverted. One believes in The Needs of the Many, sacrificing a single person so that the group survives. This does not exclude himself.
• Big Hero 6: Despite what became of his daughter, filling him with bitter vengeance, Yokai aka Professor Callaghan, is very unsympathetic to Hiro over the death of his brother, a death he was responsible for.
• BoBoiBoy Movie 2: Hang Kasa disallows his students to use communication devices or any technology, stating that they must focus on their training and that he turned out just fine without technology. Papa Zola and Pipi later enter his house, which is off-limits, and find lots of tech lying around. Hang Kasa deceived them so they wouldn't know that he leaked the hero's coordinates to Retak'ka in order to bait him into a duel.
• The Brave Little Toaster: Radio calls Kirby oblivious to reality, even though he tried to use Blanky as a magic carpet while Kirby and the Toaster clearly knew that wasn't going to work.
• A Bug's Life: The ants lie to Flik about needing to find warrior bugs in order to keep him out of their way, yet they still exile him once his ruse is revealed later on.
• Coco: Miguel accuses Héctor of only caring about himself... while reneging on their deal to save Héctor from becoming Deader than Dead to pursue his own musical dream. Fortunately, he grows out of this.
• Coraline: The Other Mother cheated like crazy and wouldn't have let Coraline go whether she'd won the game or not. But when Coraline threw the Cat at her to turn the tables, she was furious and screamed "You horrible cheating girl!"
• An Extremely Goofy Movie: At the beginning, Goofy gives a speech to his son Max and his friends about how "focusing on goals is the key to success" before they leave for college. The next day, he loses his own focus due to his empty nest syndrome, resulting in him destroying the factory he works at and getting fired. He is then forced to repeat college and believes there won't be any more distractions since he is attending the same college as Max. However, he loses his focus again when he starts babying Max and completely forgets why he was attending college again in the first place. And when Max lashes at his father to leave him alone and get his own life, Goofy becomes so depressed he flunks out his exam by doing nothing than drawing Max's name on the paper.
• Frozen: When Elsa's powers are revealed, Anna is asked, "Are you sure you can trust her?" The guy who says this tricked both Anna and the audience into thinking he can be trusted.
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Judge Claude Frollo is an infamous example, as this is his defining flaw. He is a Holier Than Thou Bible-thumper who is utterly convinced of his piousness all while committing sin after sin in God's name and blaming others for his problems via Psychological Projection. Frollo's hypocrisy is best summed by Clopin during the film intro song:
  Judge Claude Frollo longed to purge the world Of vice and sin, and he saw corruption ev'rywhere, except within.
  • He tells Frollo that the gypsies of Paris are Always Chaotic Evil, when he is planning a Final Solution against the gypsies.
  • As Esmeralda points out in her "The Reason You Suck" Speech against Frollo during the festival, "he speaks of justice, yet he is cruel to those most in need of his help." Frollo took sadistic pleasure in watching the crowd torment Quasimodo, he carries out a policy of public harassment and persecution against the gypsies, and hires soldiers who are little better than glorified street thugs to carry out his orders. He even orders a miller's family to be burned alive in their home for dubiously withholding information from him (and of course, the family may well have genuinely known nothing as they claimed).
  • He tells Esmeralda that it's "so typical of your kind to twist the truth and cloud the mind with unholy thoughts". Not only racist, but a bit rich given that Frollo has been Gaslighting poor Quasimodo his entire life to more easily manipulate him. He even told Quasi that it was his mother who was the one who wanted to drown him as a baby.
  • Frollo calls Esmeralda's risque dance a "disgusting display", but deep down he's enthralled by Lust for her. When he learns that Quasimodo has developed his own romantic feelings for Esmeralda because she showed kindness and sympathy to the poor boy, he flies into a rage and trashes the room. He would burn down all of Paris, kill anyone, and order his soldiers to ransack one of God's own houses on earth to possess Esmeralda's body for his desires.
  • Frollo claims to be a holy man of the cloth doing God's work, but nothing he ever does demonstrates any of the Seven Heavenly Virtues. In fact, he's practically the embodiment of the Sins of Wrath, Pride, and Lust. He declares an assault on holy ground, injures the Archdeacon by throwing the old man down the stairs when he tries to protest, and earlier makes the blasphemous statement that God made the Devil.
• The Lion King:
  • The Lion King (1994): Scar kills his own brother, Mufasa, to take his throne. And yet, when Mufasa's son, Simba, has him at his mercy in the climax, he pleads, "You wouldn't kill your own uncle?"
  • The Lion King II: Simba's Pride: Zira calls Kovu out for causing his own brother's death, though it was an accident, but she worships Scar who killed his brother on purpose. It also works in the opposite way, since she mistreats Nuka because he's envious of Kovu's status, which is much like Scar felt about Mufasa.
  • Rafiki turns out to be a huge hypocrite in The Lion King 1 ½ thanks to an unfortunate Retcon where he's the one who introduces Timon to "Hakuna Matata" or "No Worries" philosophy in the first place. Which becomes a huge problem in retrospect since in The Lion King (1994) he chastises Simba for living the carefree lifestyle, the one he coined himself. ^note One might make the case that Timon was taking his advice out of context — that Rafiki never actually meant "Hakuna Matata" to mean "Don't bother caring about anything other than your own pleasure". Indeed, right after Rafiki leaves, Timon takes his other words ("Look beyond what you see") out of context. Trouble is, Rafiki did absolutely nothing to help Timon take his advice in context — he simply spouted Proverbial Wisdom and left. Timon's mother chastises him for that later in the movie, hitting him on the head with his own stick and explaining that Timon has a tendency to take things literally.
• Megamind: Hal/Titan claims his crush Roxanne didn't try to get to know him... while he himself never tried to get to know her. It's telling that when he first appears to her in his Titan persona, he boasts that he knows everything about her, only to immediately say he wasn't sure what flowers she would like. Additionally, he calls out Roxanne for "not understanding the real world", but his Psychopathic Manchild demeanor and Entitled to Have You complex towards Roxanne make it clear Hal himself doesn't understand the real world either.
• The Mitchells vs. the Machines: PAL decides to rid the Earth of all mankind by hurling them into space because her creator considered her obsolete and callously replaced her. However, she ends up doing the exact same thing to the Pal Max robots after they fail to capture the Mitchells at the mall, calling them "idiotic" and replacing them with a much more competent model.
• Mr. Peabody & Sherman: At one point, Penny demands to know why Ms. Grunion is trying to take Sherman away if Mr. Peabody is such a great parent. The proper answer to this question is that the modern world's inhabitants all appear to be Fantastic Racists and Penny's little show at the beginning of the movie provided Grunion with the perfect opportunity, but Penny uses the situation to imply moral faults of Mr. Peabody.
• My Little Pony: The Movie (2017): Tempest's Villain Song "Open up Your Eyes" describes how she had been shunned by her friends after losing her horn. She ridicules Twilight for relying on her friends, stating that friendship is a total farce and there's no point in relying on anyone other than yourself. Yet the whole reason Tempest is there in the first place is that she had pledged her loyalty to the Storm King, trusting that he would keep his promise to regrow her horn after she helped him drain the princesses' magic. Predictably, he refuses.
• NIMONA (2023): The Director claims that she killed the queen and framed Ballister for it to keep the traditions alive and to protect the kingdom, even though queenslaughter is in itself a much worse way to break the traditions, since the queen is supposed to be untouchable from any danger, so her gesture counts as treason. Furthermore, killing a ruler is a good way to bring chaos to the people of the kingdom, which goes against her claims to save them.
• The Phantom Tollbooth: Made the subject of a joke in the Chuck Jones adaptation: the Humbug comments "If there's one thing I can't abide, it's a hypocrite!" complete with Aside Glance at the camera.
• The Prince of Egypt:
  • Ramses and rest the Egyptians slaughter the Herbrew babies without mercy to stop any possible uprising but when God takes away the lives of their first borns Ramses and Egypt fall into despair and fail to see karma involved. If that wasn't enough despite letting Moses free the Hebrews, Ramses just goes on a murderous chase after them.
  • This movie also does a good job of having Moses acknowledge what a hypocrite he's being as God's servant first by refusing to accept himself being the Hebrew's savoir since he was a Prince of Egypt. And the end were he cries over the deaths of the Egyptian's first borns which he's partly responsible for, Moses couldn't save his people from atrocities without committing atrocities himself, something not discussed in The Bible.
• Ralph Breaks the Internet: Towards the end of the film, Vanellope rips Ralph for selfishly putting in a virus in Slaughter Race and goes as far as throwing away the homemade medal she personally made for him in the first movie. While she has some right to be angry, Vanellope is still ignoring the fact that she is the one who accidentally broke her own game, Sugar Rush (and very nearly doomed all the racers), due to her own selfishness.
• Robin Hood (1973): After he is captured at the archery contest, Prince John calls Robin a traitor to the crown, despite the fact that he unlawfully seized the throne while Richard was off on The Crusades. Robin calls him out on it in the most badass way possible.
  Robin Hood: Traitor to the crown?! That crown belongs to King Richard! LONG LIVE KING RICHARD!
• Shrek 2:
  • Fiona's father, King Harold, wasn't keen on her daughter marrying the titular character, who was an ogre. At the end of the film, when he performed a Heroic Sacrifice to save Shrek from the Fairy Godmother, the spell on him was removed, revealing his true form to be a small green frog. Though when Donkey calls him out on it, he doesn't deny it.
    Donkey: (to Shrek) And he gave you a hard time!
    Shrek: Donkey!
    Harold: No, no, he's right. I'm sorry... (to Shrek and Fiona) to both of you.
  • Fairy Godmother:
    • When Shrek intervenes Charming's second kiss at the ball, Godmother comes in and accuses him of not leaving well enough alone. She is the one who is doing her best to interfere in true love, to begin with.
    • She hates ogres and she doesn’t believe that they should get happily ever afters, but she has no problem with her son marrying and getting a happily ever after with a princess who is technically part ogre. This just proves that she is okay with ogres only if they benefit her in a way.
• The Super Mario Bros. Movie: During the final battle on the streets of Brooklyn, after badly mauling Mario and throwing him into a pizza shop, Bowser calls him a coward, demanding he come out and fight. When Mario does come out to fight after a minute of stalling, Bowser even gets angry about that as well, spitting out, "You just don't know when to quit!"
• Tangled: Mother Gothel lectures Rapunzel about the dangerous selfish evil people of the outside world... when she's the one who kidnapped Rapunzel as a baby for her own selfish reasons. Rapunzel is quick to point this out when she discovers the truth.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem: Superfly claims that he wants to create mutant freedom, yet he has no issues harming or even killing his fellow mutants (including his own crew) for standing in his way. His sadistic pleasure in slowly crushing the Turtles to their would-be deaths in front of Splinter himself and his callous disregard for the animals that were fused with him against their will speak volumes.
• Toy Story:
  • Toy Story 2: The Prospector rants about how children destroy toys, ignoring the fact that he previously threatened to rip Woody into pieces unless he goes to Japan with him.
  • Toy Story 3:
    • Woody calls his friends selfish for donating themselves to Sunnyside when he himself was selfish regarding his jealousy of Buzz being Andy's favorite toy and even similarly considered going to Japan with the Roundup toys instead of staying with Andy.
    • Lotso enforces his Straw Nihilist beliefs on the Sunnyside toys that they're meant to be thrown away like trash, but he still values his own life despite this and even leaves Andy's toys to die in the incinerator after tricking them into saving him from being shredded.
• Turning Red: Ming derides 4*Town as a bad influence for Mei, but has no problem watching a soap opera with Mei about a two-faced woman who plans on killing her fiancé to get his empire. The plot doesn't exactly have kid-friendly themes for a 13-year-old, referencing how parents both during the 2000s and even today would turn a blind eye towards violence, but try to shield their children from things even a little sexual.
• Wreck-It Ralph: King Candy chides Ralph for "going Turbo", or abandoning his own game. King Candy was the original Turbo, who left his game Turbo Time for the more popular Road Blasters when he didn't get the attention he wanted. After both his original game and Road Blasters were removed for being apparently buggy, he then went to Sugar Rush and reprogrammed himself into the game.
