Top 10 Best Pixar Villains
Syndrome (born as Buddy Pine) is the primary antagonist in The Incredibles. He wanted to be super like the others, even though he had no powers. He was Mr. Incredible's #1 fan, and dubbed himself "Incrediboy," but he was rejected by Mr. Incredible. Angered after being refused, he developed an evil plan... read more He killed almost every single superhero in the world just so he could become one himself. His plan was to plant a dangerous robot in the middle of a big city (which would cause many casualties) and then destroy it just so he could be seen as a hero.
He would then sell his inventions for loads of money so that everyone would be super, and the very foundation of power in the world would be disrupted. His plan would have started wars and caused many deaths, making him one of the greatest evil geniuses ever.
Hopper represents the capitalist class of the real world - the rulers who want to keep the proletariat down. A Bug's Life is an amazing socialist commentary, and the scene where the ants stuffed Hopper into a cannon is reminiscent of when the French peasants guillotined the decadent French monarchs who lived lavishly and stole the fruits of the peasants' labor.
His death made me sad because I really liked him, but it also sends an important message that the only way to deal with the bourgeoisie and oppressive governments is through revolution.
Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, commonly known as Lotso, is the main antagonist in Toy Story 3 (2010). He takes control of Sunnyside Day Care and forces the other toys to follow his rules. Despite his cuddly appearance, he is portrayed as a ruthless and manipulative character. I admit it, Syndrome and Hopper are villains, but they get a little too much praise, especially Syndrome. Some say he is the best Pixar villain, but pure evil can be boring, mediocre, and uncompelling. He's a walking example of how a pure evil villain can be written.
He's a guy with an emotional story and heinous actions that are understood because of his motives, but not justified. Then, with the third act betrayal, every single sympathy I had for his backstory vanished, and I wished he was dead. (He's just strapped to the garbage truck, but I wanted to see him have a deadly fate. The series should have ended with Toy Story 4.)
Hopper and Syndrome are great, but Lotso should have ranked higher than them.
Randall Boggs is a Pixar villain featured in both Monsters, Inc. and its prequel, Monsters University. He is voiced by Steve Buscemi and has a reptilian appearance, with purple and blue scales and green eyes. Randall is known for his ability to blend into his surroundings and his ambition to outdo Mike... read more Randall is the best Disney villain ever!
Also, I have a theory... In Monsters Inc., he and Henry Waternoose III were an evil duo, working together to take down Mike and Sully. But why? Why was it Randall who helped Henry? Well, it goes deeper than Randall just being evil.
Remember Monsters University? In that, we learn Randall's backstory: Sully embarrassed him in public, causing Randall's so-called friends (the jocks) to abandon him. With Mike gone, Randall was alone. That made Randall mad at Sully, obviously. Can you blame him? Sully is the reason he lost all his popularity and his only good friend.
A few years later (Monsters Inc.), Randall became a jerk to everyone. When Boo came along, Henry probably needed someone he could frame if things went bad, and that someone was Randall. Given that Randall was really, really mad at Mike (who didn't even defend him when everyone was laughing at him) and Sully, Henry used that information to trick Randall into turning evil.
My theory is that Henry tricked Randall into becoming evil. It wasn't Mike and Sully (though they were a big part of the reason), it wasn't his so-called friends, and it wasn't Boo. It was classic trickery.
Sid Phillips is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He serves as the primary antagonist in the original Toy Story film. Sid is known for his destructive behavior and experiments with toys, setting him apart as a memorable villain in the series. More misunderstood than evil and not a true villain. I felt really bad for Sid, but I'm glad he changes after the first movie. He grows up to be a garbage man.
A deranged explorer played by Christopher Plummer who uses evil dogs to do his bidding. That's already awesome enough.
He is so AMAZING! He is really intimidating, and when he died, it still seemed creepy to me.
Chick Hicks is a fictional character in the Cars franchise created by Pixar. He is portrayed as a highly competitive and aggressive racecar who serves as a rival to Lightning McQueen. Chick is remembered for his win-at-all-costs attitude and eventual role as a racing commentator in later installments... read more He has destroyed gods and made people suffer until they give him confetti. Is there anything else to say?
He doesn't care about anyone but himself. He deserves to be hit with confetti.
A one-dimensional villain with barely any screen time. Despite this, I consider him one of my favorites. He just looks so badass in my opinion.
Stinky Pete, also known as The Prospector, is a fictional character in the Toy Story universe. He serves as a primary antagonist in Toy Story 2 (1999) and is voiced by Kelsey Grammer. He is portrayed as a collectible action figure from a 1950s television show called Woody's Roundup.
The Newcomers
It's not evil. It's just doing its job. That's my favorite thing about it.
He's my favorite Pixar villain of all time! He should be in the top 5.
I don't like him that much aside from trying to kill the captain.
She did not wear the costume for Screenslaver. She just used a random guy for her duty and took credit for it.
She's the second greatest villain in the Incredibles franchise, with Syndrome first!
She plays an awesome role as the mastermind behind Screenslaver!
Zurg, also known as Emperor Zurg, is a fictional character from the Toy Story franchise. He is portrayed as the arch-enemy of Buzz Lightyear and appears in several installments, including Toy Story 2 and Lightyear. Zurg is a parody of classic science fiction villains.
Fish are friends, not food. That doesn't sound evil. But you never want a shark to smell blood.
Sadness is a major character in the 2015 Disney/Pixar film Inside Out. She is one of the five emotions inside the mind of Riley Andersen. Voiced by Phyllis Smith, Sadness plays a key role in helping Riley process complex feelings. Sadness almost became a villain when she touched the core memories.
Axlerod is a former oil baron who sold off his fortune and converted himself into an electric vehicle. He was the leader of the Lemons (a criminal organization) that wanted to turn the entire world against alternative fuels and profit from it.
The Lemons hurt many and even killed several cars in their attempt to achieve their goal. However, Axlerod's plans were foiled when Tow Mater exposed his crimes.
He's actually really incredible and well-written. People hate him because they didn't dig deeper into what his actual plans were.
I think Gabby Gabby is the best villain of all time and one of the many reasons why Toy Story 4 is my all-time favorite film. She isn't evil. It's just that her actions cause trouble for the main characters. The scene where she is given to the lost kid almost made me cry. I see Gabby Gabby as the perfect villain.
Underrated as hell. He didn't care about anyone else. He's so desperate to exploit Gusteau's image so he can sell his frozen foods. Not only that, but his character is portrayed so well that he didn't believe the movie's message that anyone can cook.
He was insecure and convinced that the world revolved around him, just like a bully who believes the world revolves around him. He demonstrated this when he told the flyboy, "Listen, flyboy! The contents of that case are worth more than you make in a year! You got that, sport?! You be careful!"
