Remember 5 characters featured in Pixar animations who had scary attitudes and actions in their plots
Pixar studios have become known for presenting to the public animations that address sensitive themes and bring valuable lessons, such as ‘Viva – A Vida é uma Festa’, which reflects on death and family ties, and ‘Inside Out’, which addresses the importance of emotions and finding balance between all the feelings that exist within us.
Still, for the plots to become interesting and convey the messages that the creators want to convey, conflicts are necessary, which are often caused by the villains, who with corrupt attitudes and a broad desire for power, become capable of any thing to get where they want.
More than that, the antagonists of these stories star in somewhat haunting and chilling scenes in the films in which they are inserted. It was with this in mind that RECREIO put together a list of 5 scary Pixar characters that certainly gave you chills as a child; look!
5. Charles F. Muntz
In ‘UP — High Adventures‘, Charles F. Muntz is the famous explorer that Carl and Ellie Fredricksen fondly admired as children.
Still, the determined personality that inspired the couple proved to be a major problem when the bones of a tropical bird found by Charles in South America were dismissed as fake by the scientific community, causing him to embark on a long journey to find a living species of the same animal and prove he was right.
The problem is that the search has become an obsession and he is willing to destroy anyone who crosses his path as he believes that everyone is looking for the same bird and, as a consequence, upon meeting Carl during the expedition, he demonstrates one of his most common attitudes. frightening by placing the man, who until then was his fan, as an enemy, trying to eliminate him in any way, including setting fire to the master’s beloved house.
4. Syndrome
In ‘The Incredibles’, Syndrome appears as a fan of Mr. Incredible. Still, upon meeting the idol, he is disappointed, as the hero ends up ignoring him. As a result, the red-haired boy turns admiration into hatred, and starts planning ways to get revenge.
Guided by resentment, he turns into a true villain and, with the help of a killing machine called Omnidroid, Syndrome stars in several frightening scenes where he eliminates innocent lives while trying to find Mr. Incredible, who he really wants to get rid of.
3.Hopper
With ideals of superiority and a thirst for power, Hopper is the antagonist of ‘A Bug’s Life’. He, who is a grasshopper, sees the ants as a threat, and organizes a gang to eliminate them, going to great lengths to ensure that the grasshoppers dominate the colony, as he devises a plan to kill the ant queen, in addition to having behaviors violent, capable of scaring anyone just by their presence.
2. Sid (Toy Story)
In the first film of the Toy Story franchise, released in 1995, Sid was introduced. The boy becomes scary due to his habit of dismembering his dolls to transform them into new and strange toys, as well as his appreciation for explosions, which put the toys’ lives at risk when they are tied to explosives.
1. Lotso (Toy Story)
Surprising everyone, Lotso is the big villain of ‘Toy Story 3’. The pink bear appears as a sweet figure, responsible for organizing all the toys at Sunnyside daycare, but reveals himself to be a bitter and manipulative character, abusing cruelty and lies to stay in power.
