Pixar's Top 5 Baddies

Pixar has a rich history of creating successful films. There's a special kind of magic that happens on screen when one of their masterpieces is playing. One of the greatest things about these films is, of course, the characters they bring to life on screen. Few are more memorable or lovable than Woody and Buzz, Marlin and Dory, or Flik and Dot.

But, these characters would have little going for them if not for the villains that push them to do great things. Pixar villains are a special brand and are as diverse as they come. From a psychopathic adolescent, all the way to an evil Frenchman, Pixar bad guys steal the show. Let's take a look at the top 5, shall we?


5. Darla (Finding Nemo) - You're probably thinking, "How can an innocent little girl possibly be a villain?" Well, as the fish in the dentist's office will tell you, she is indeed a fish-killer. Sounds pretty villainous to me. We can only hope that Gill's brave leap from the tank to her head finally set her straight.

4. Sid (Toy Story ) - Sid is the complete opposite of Woody, Buzz, and gang's Andy. While Andy is imaginative, loving, and gentle with his toys, Sid is all about torture. Dark, I know. He created numerous toy monstrosities by mixing and matching parts and blew up who knows how many Combat Carls before Woody put him in his place. His fate is unclear, but he'll probably never be able to be in the same room as a toy again.

3. Hopper (A Bug's Life) - He's definitely a grasshopper you don't want to mess with. For untold years, he and his gang of thieves bullied an ant colony into giving them most of their food. He suppressed the colony through fear, for he knew at any given moment they could rise up and use their sheer numbers to ruin his easy way of life. The actions of one brave ant, however, finally enlightened the colony and urged them to fight back. They did, and Hopper became, well, bird food.

2. Mr. Waternoose (Monsters, Inc.) - We're treading into much darker territory, now. If you thought torturing toys or robbing ants of their food was bad, then what about kidnapping children? That's right. Mr. Waternoose sought to kidnap innocent kids and extract their screams through a painful, unnatural process for the sole purpose of preserving his failing company. Luckily, his evil plot was thwarted by our monster heroes and a little girl dubbed "Boo" and now finds himself in monster prison.

1. Syndrome (The Incredibles) - Why wouldn't a supervillain take the top spot? He's evil by default, after all, right? Well, not exactly. Syndrome deserves the number one spot not because he's a supervillain, but because his ascension to evil and as his actions once at the top of his game are truly tragic and sinister.

"It tore me apart. But, I learned an important lesson. You can't count on anyone, especially your heroes." That line signifies Buddy Pine's twisted transformation from an energetic, happy-go-lucky child to a cold-blooded superhero murderer. He killed countless people, all with the goals of getting revenge and completely eradicating superheroes once and for all.
