* ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'': Gurgi has been widely criticized for his annoying voice, tendency to abandon his own friends in the face of danger, and lacking his more engaging traits from the books like fighting alongside Taran and the others.
** Creeper, given his tendency to break the mood during some of the Horned King's more genuinely frightening scenes.
** For some folks, Taran qualifies as one. Many people find his bragging annoying, and they do not like how he patronizes Eilonwy in a sexist way ("What does a girl know about swords, anyway!?"). Sadly, this is actually fairly accurate to Book!Taran, and losing this arrogance is part of his character arc in the book series, which the cancellation of any sequels prevented being shown.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTimeXIIITheWisdomOfFriends'': The Yellow Bellies, particularly Loofah and Doofah, are, bar none, the most hated characters [[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime in the franchise]] and a major reason why this film is seen as the worst by the fandom. It's bad enough that they're annoying, what with their shrill voices and a tendency to goof around at the expense of the gang, but they're the focal characters of the film and the only reason much of the film's events happen is that they're too stupid for their own good and end up causing far more trouble than it's worth. That, and they do little to justify the [[{{Anvilicious}} moral message of the movie]], which is to put trust and faith in your friends.

* ''WesternAnimation/RomeoAndJulietSealedWithAKiss'':
** Kissy the Kissing Fish for being [[SweetnessAversion overly cute]] and contributing little to the plot.
** Mercutio is probably the most hated of all, for making all sorts of annoying jokes (some of which are ''[[FantasticRacism racist]]'' jokes), and making the distasteful line "This party looks dead" at the titular characters' funeral.

* Tika the elephant in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'' is one of the most despised sidekicks in any ''Franchise/Barbie'' movie; she has a ''very'' off-putting design-large, glassy eyes that look more like a human's than an elephant's, and a giant toothy smile-and her voice is annoying; on top of that, she has an incredibly [[SpoiledBrat selfish]], [[SpoiledBrat bratty]] attitude, and goes out of her way to sabotage Ro and Antonio's relationship.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameII'': [[SissyVillain Sarousch]] is considered an obnoxious disgrace to the Disney Villains brand -- especially by the (numerous) fans of Judge Claude Frollo, the first film's brutal KnightTemplar villain -- due to being an obnoxious, unlikable one-note {{narcissist}} who lacks Frollo's charisma and complexity and never even comes ''close'' to being threatening. He also pales in comparison to other, [[EvilIsCool cooler]] sequel villains/antagonists such as the CreepyAwesome, Creator/TimCurry-voiced [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas Forte]], [[CrossesTheLineTwice gleefully-vile]] poacher [[WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder McLeach]], murderously insane cult leader [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride Zira]], conniving EvilFormerFriend [[WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure Buster]], and [[AntiVillain genuinely likeable]], Music/RebaMcEntire-voiced [[WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound2 Dixie]]. Even [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea Morgana]], herself considered a ReplacementScrappy for Ursula, at least had a more established backstory and fleshed-out personality, and could be threatening when she wanted to. In other words, Sarousch is even lame by ''Disney sequel standards.''

Wrong trope. Moving to Americans Hate Tingle.


* Gopher is not popular with British fans of the ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' animated adaptations of the original A.A. Milne books, as Gopher isn't in the original books. He was created in order to give the films more appeal to American audiences and is often criticized for being symbolic of the heavy [[EagleLand Americanization]] the franchise has undergone under Disney. Furthermore, as gophers are native only to North and Central America, his inclusion has effectively changed the location of the Hundred Acre Wood (and other locations in the forest Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends live in) to the United States, whereas the original books are clearly set in England (specifically in Ashdown Forest, West Sussex).
** Gopher was excluded from the 2011 animated film and the 2018 live-action film ''Film/ChristopherRobin'', as both were specifically designed to be a lot more faithful to the original books and thus more appealing to British audiences.

Hi-5 doesn't count since The Emoji Movie is almost universally despised, so any hatred the character gets is mostly just based on the movie itself, plus there are no fans to appreciate the movie as a whole, which is necessary for a work to have Scrappies.


* While none of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' are particularly well-liked, nobody has anything nice to say about Hi-5. He's [[TheLoad generally useless]] and [[SpotlightStealingSquad steals screentime from the other characters]], making him come off as annoying rather than funny. The fact that he's voiced by Creator/JamesCorden doesn't help his case much.

** Governor Ratcliffe is an unusual example for several reasons, starting by the fact that as a villain, [[GoneHorriblyRight he's]] ''[[GoneHorriblyRight meant]]'' [[HateSink to be disliked]]. But he has a very unusual reasons for being disliked among Characters/DisneyVillains - he just isn't [[EvilIsCool cool]] enough. He'd be a SoOkayItsAverage villain, and perhaps would even have a couple of fans, if not for the fact that like the rest of the movie, he had the bad luck to follow ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', which had Scar, who was generally considered far cooler. [[FromBadToWorse To add insult to injury]], Ratcliffe was followed by a villain who was even more beloved and cool than Scar: conflicted KnightTemplar [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Claude Frollo]], who was succeeded by the [[FauxAffablyEvil likeable]] and [[EvilIsCool cool]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hades]], who was followed by the incredibly intimidating and impressive [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Shan Yu]], who was followed by the FauxAffablyEvil EgomaniacHunter [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Clayton]] who was voiced by [[Creator/BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]] [[note]]And that's if you don't count villains that came before Scar: FauxAffablyEvil villains like [[WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder McLeach]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]], the [[NightmareFuel terrifying]] but [[LargeHam flamboyant]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula]], and the MemeticBadass that is [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]][[/note]]. Ratcliffe just couldn't cut it compared to the otherwise-stellar track record of Disney Renaissance villains as far as coolness was concerned, and fans of EvilIsCool villains didn't forgive him for it.
*** Ratcliffe is RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap for some in the DTV sequel due to being a more competent threat there as opposed to just a greedy buffoon.
** John Rolfe from the sequel for [[DieForOurShip coming between John Smith and Pocahontas]]. Historically, Rolfe ''did'' marry Pocahontas, but fans of the Disney version think she belongs with Smith. In fact, the Smithahontas were ''so'' angry, Disney kept releasing merchandise reaffirming Smith and Pocahontas as a couple in spite of the sequel (which said hating fans have jumped upon the opportunity to interpret as a sign of CanonDiscontinuity).

* Artie from ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'', a teenage version of Myth/KingArthur (with many aspects of him and the characters surrounding him [[HighSchoolAU in a high school setting]]), is disliked for being yet another CelebrityVoiceActor shoehorn (in this case, Music/JustinTimberlake), and for being an uninteresting character in his own right. This isn't helped by the fact that Artie is essentially the {{deuteragonist}} of the movie, getting more focus than Donkey, Fiona or Puss while not having enough unique or likable traits of his own to make up for it. Despite his large role in ''Third'', Artie [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome didn't reappear in]] ''Forever After'' and subsequent specials (because Justin Timberlake was recording music at the time), and wasn't missed in the least.

* ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'': [[spoiler:Sir Miles Axelrod]], the HiddenVillain. Though he's definitely a character that we're [[HateSink meant to root against]], the character is one of Pixar's most unpopular villains due to a lack of memorability as well as an utterly nonsensical plan. [[spoiler:Creating a fake alternative fuel solely to sabotage it and make the idea of alternative fuel look bad is not only ridiculously impractical and convoluted, but comes off as especially pointless due to the film's implication that alternate fuel isn't even being used that much yet]], and when Mater figures out that [[spoiler:Axelrod]] is the mastermind, many viewers have expressed [[ShockingSwerve both surprise and frustration]] that ''[[TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight he was actually right]]''. It doesn't help that the film already has an entertaining villain in the form of Professor Z, who is ultimately relegated to TheDragon in favour of the far less charismatic [[spoiler:Axelrod]].

* In Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'', there's Edmond. Most people dislike him, probably due to his voice and ElmuhFuddSyndrome, and the fact he's a friend of the lead character, Chanticleer doesn't help much.

* Sunflower from the centaur segment in ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' is hated by many, especially [[StopBeingStereotypical actual black people]], due to her being a blatant {{blackface}} character, to the point that Disney has [[OrwellianRetcon removed her from the movie]] starting in the 70s. Compare several other racial stereotypes from other Disney films such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'', ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'', and ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' that keep their roles in the original movies (albeit largely for plot reasons).

* While none of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' are particularly well-liked, no one has anything nice to say about Hi-5. He's [[TheLoad generally useless]] and [[SpotlightStealingSquad steals screentime from the other characters]], making him come off as annoying rather than funny.

* Gopher is not popular with British fans of the ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' animated adaptations of the original A.A. Milne books, as Gopher isn't in the original books. He was created in order to give the films more appeal to American audiences and is often criticised for being symbolic of the heavy [[EagleLand Americanisation]] the franchise has undergone under Disney. Furthermore, as gophers are native only to North and Central America, his inclusion has effectively changed the location of the Hundred Acre Wood (and other locations in the forest Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends live in) to the United States, whereas the original books are clearly set in England (specifically in Ashdown Forest, West Sussex).

* While none of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' are particularly well-liked aside from [[NiceGuy Lenny]] and [[OnlySaneMan Sykes]], the film's main character, Oscar, gets more flak than most of the others. This mainly stems from the fact that he has an incredibly [[UncannyValley ugly design]] -- simply put, Creator/WillSmith's face on a CGI fish's body is ''not'' an appealing character design -- and on top of that, is an [[IdiotHero incredibly stupid]], mean-spirited {{Jerkass}} throughout; near-constantly lying to get himself out of his problems while [[KarmaHoudini unjustifiably getting away with it]], and basically [[DesignatedHero does very that's little good against a whole lot that's bad]]. For instance, one scene has his friend Angie give him a pearl that her grandmother gave her so that he can get out of his debt. Oscar then decides to, instead of simply paying off his debt, [[WhatAnIdiot bet the pearl at the seahorse races]][[note]]An added clencher being that he actually ''tries'' to remember important advice he received from Angie to attempt to remain motivated for his debt, but the flashback is distorted to make her ''sound like'' she wanted Oscar to bet it all, and to add insult to injury, the seahorse he bet on was rigged against, but circumvented the rigging and nearly came close to victory, only to trip at the last possible second, blowing the race[[/note]]. And that's not getting into his obsession over the ObviouslyEvil lionfish [[GoldDigger Lola]]; even after she ''[[UpToEleven describes her own superficiality straight to Oscar's face]]''. The only real saving grace is that, again, he's still Will Smith; aside from that, many have said that Lenny should've been the main character instead of Oscar.

* Artie from ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'', a teenage version of Myth/KingArthur (with many aspects of him and the character surrounding him [[HighSchoolAU in a high school setting]]), is disliked for being yet another CelebrityVoiceActor shoehorn (in this case, Music/JustinTimberlake), and for being an uninteresting character in his own right. This isn't helped by the fact that Artie is essentially the {{deuteragonist}} of the movie, getting more focus than Donkey, Fiona or Puss while not having enough unique or likable traits of his own to make up for it. Despite his large role in ''Third'', Artie [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome didn't reappear in]] ''Forever After'' and subsequent specials (because Justin Timberlake was recording music at the time), and wasn't missed in the least.
