11	* Despite being major characters who give directions to the main characters so they could return home, Marcel and Paddy from ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'' are not really that popular with the fandom. Go ahead and check out any fanbase on Platform/DeviantArt or Platform/YouTube, and you'll be surprised that those two have barely to any mention with the rest of the characters, a majority being wolf fans.
12	* ''WesternAnimation/AnimalsUnited'':
13	** Charles isn't very popular with most viewers due to his [[LargeHam obnoxious, hammy behavior]], his stereotypical French accent, and for [[SpotlightStealingSquad stealing the spotlight from all the other side characters]], some of whom ended up being a waste.
14	** Maya, the bratty, {{Anvilicious}} {{Tomboy}}-looking teenager who constantly whines about how awful the businessmen are being to the animals, yet doesn't do much to help the animals at all.
15	** Smiley doesn't appeal to many fans for two very big reasons: he's an {{Expy}} of [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Taz]], and he [[ToiletHumour farts a lot]]. Other than that, there's nothing special about him.
16	** Hunter gets the most hate out of all the human beings for being an exaggerated example of modern-day hunters, poachers, etc., and for tormenting the animals for almost no reason. He's not even a good BigBad; Hunter's just a DirtyCoward with a gun who hardly has any lines in the film.
17	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ballerina}}'': Victor. Many viewers found him annoying and felt his subplot with trying to win Félicie's affections was an unnecessary addition to the film.
18	* 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.
19	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'':
20	** 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.
21	** Creeper, given his tendency to break the mood during some of the Horned King's more genuinely frightening scenes.
22	* ''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 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]].
23	%% Weblinks are not examples. Please uncomment this after adding proper context.
24	* ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' : Buck Cluck is without question THE most reviled character in the entire movie. He neglects his son's well being in favor of his own reputation and only comes around after he's done something that he can benefit his public image with. A lot of people found his treatment of Chicken Little not only bad, but that it would emotionally scar most children, so much that they never forgave him for what he did in the movie, despite realizing how wrong he was and trying to make up for it in the end.
25	* ''WesternAnimation/ChickenhareAndTheHamsterOfDarkness'': Abe. From his constant complaining, constant cowardice and even going as far as chewing out the other heroes when they were in a bad spot during the middle act, it's safe to say he doesn't have a lot of fans.
26	%% * Filo, the comic relief of ''WesternAnimation/{{Delgo}}'', is generally considered the movie's most hated character, being seen as an even more annoying [[Franchise/StarWars Jar Jar Binks]]. Allow Platform/YouTube to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg0NiK-90ho demonstrate]].
27	* 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 who is shown to have a stereotypical subservient personality, 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).
28	* ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie'' : Princess Oriana isn't exactly liked by fans due to being fairly dismissive of the idea of Felix being the hero that was meant to save her, disbanding her army despite knowing that she had a crazy power-hungry uncle threatening her kingdom, not doing anything useful once she joins Felix, and saying she'll shut down the dimensporter for good despite barely using it at all and it actually helping them in one of the few (or possibly only) times it's been used.
29	* One would have a difficult time finding someone who likes Nozemkemph (The "wild breed" cat) from ''WesternAnimation/{{Felidae}}''. Fans were not thrilled that Francis ended up choosing her as his mate and not [[TheWoobie Felicity]], ignoring the fact that [[spoiler:one, Felicity is murdered not too long after Francis meets her]] and, two, cats aren't known for romance. It doesn't help that Nozemkemph is never mentioned by name in the movie, only appears for a brief time to provide some exposistion, has sex with Francis, and then just leaves until showing up at the end of the film.
30	** While several characters have their share of fans, including [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Bluebeard]] and [[spoiler:[[BigBad Pascal AKA Claudandus]],]] Kong's lackeys "Hermann" and "Hermann" (Or Herman 1 and Herman 2) are often overlooked by the fandom due to their lack of plot significance or any real distinctive personality.
31	* ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'': Not too many people are fond of Sid, mostly due to him being perceived as a plot device whose entire character is basically an intrusive and crude slob.
32	* ''WesternAnimation/GulliversTravels'': You won't find many fans of Gabby. He's an attempt to mix the comic relief of [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs the Seven Dwarfs]] (his design looks like a bargain basement knockoff of them, and he's even voiced by one of their actors, Pinto Colvig) with the temper of WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck into one character, but he has none of the likable qualities of either. He's a self-important and whiny nuisance who contributes almost nothing to the story (beyond leading the Lilliputians to Gulliver and warning them of Bombo's surprise attack) and he just comes off as an annoying and unpleasant person in general (although in fairness, he's not all that well liked in-universe either). And to say nothing of his shrill "nails on chalkboard" voice. His follow up short cartoons, which put him in the center of focus, only made it even more obvious how unappealing of a character he is.
33	* ''WesternAnimation/HildaAndTheMountainKing'': The troll mother Trylla, is hated by many fans. The main issue with her is that she is supposed to be depicted as a well-intentioned, caring, and sympathetic figure... even though she ''kidnaps Hilda'' and abandons her own child, making her [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom indirectly responsible]] for everything bad that happens in the film, [[spoiler: including he release of the Mountain King]], while also causing both Hilda and Johanna a lot of grief and trauma throughout the film -- most notoriously leaving the latter to potentially die at the hands of trolls and lying to the former about her mom shortly after -- making her very [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic unsympathetic to fans]] despite the film's attempt to portray her otherwise.
34	* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'': Hugo is the most disliked of the Gargoyles who were already seen as the weakest part of the movie for detracting from its DarkerAndEdgier appeal. While the other two, [[CowardlyLion Victor]] and [[OnlySaneMan Laverne]], [[BaseBreakingCharacter have some supporters]], even those fans single Hugo out for causing a great deal of MoodWhiplash, having little personality beyond being a FatIdiot, his creepy attraction to Djali, and wasting the talents of Creator/JasonAlexander.
35	* ''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.''
36	* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'':
37	** [[ThoseTwoGuys Crash and Eddie]] are considered annoying, despite the fact that they were somewhat important as Ellie's adoptive brothers who play a role in the climax of the [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeTheMeltdown second film]] when they alert the main characters to saving her from a cave [[note]] Though that's where the usefulness ends, the ensuing flood leaves them trapped on a dead tree while [[TheHero Manny]] has to do all the hard work forcing the rocks of the cave out to save Ellie, Sid hits his head on a block of ice trying to save the opossums (forcing them to grab him to keep him from floating off), and a [[CatsHateWater hydrophobic]] Diego [[FaceYourFears faces]] his fear of water to save those three.[[/note]]. Their role was more minimal in the [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs third]] aside from their devotion to Buck and the two helping him save Sid, but if you remove them from the fourth and fifth films, where they are reduced to semi-background characters who are sometimes [[LampshadeHanging called useless]] by the other characters, the story will be completely the same.
38	** Also Brooke in the [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeCollisionCourse fifth film]], due to a hideous character design, with a cartoony sloth human-like hair and a "dress" made from fur to really show that she's female. And seeming to only exist as a [[SatelliteLoveInterest a girlfriend]] to Sid, [[ButtMonkey of all characters]].
39	** Teenaged Peaches in the 4th movie also gets this for her plot of that movie being pretty much a cut and paste of a million teen sitcom cliches.
40	** Orson, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/TheIceAgeAdventuresOfBuckWild'', is regarded as being the worst antagonist featured in the franchise - even more so, in fact, than Gavin and his dino birds due to being annoying and hardly a real threat once the rest of the herd comes in.
41	** Roshan, the baby from the first movie, is a parody of this trope. In 2020, the Internet inexplicably started hating on him [[RuleOfFunny for the sake of humor.]] Considering that it’s just a [[MemeticMutation meme,]] it’s hard to tell if people really hate him… probably not.
42	* ''WesternAnimation/JoshuaAndThePromisedLand'': TheNarrator, for being a pitch-perfect example of MrExposition who never shuts up and talks down to the audience.
43	* ''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.
44	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic'':
45	** Don Juan's not particularly liked given his strange infatuation with Elizabeth despite only speaking to her once. In the sequel, he's constantly rude to his companions whenever they're rightfully intimidated by their circumstances and constantly shills the morally dubious Atlantians.
46	** Pingo has this reputation for being both quite creepy and annoying, as well has having a bizarre musical number.
47	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls1'': Flash Sentry [[TaintedByThePreview was hated from announcement]] as a LoveInterest for Twilight Sparkle out of DieForOurShip and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the parent series]] avoiding unnecessary romance. In the film proper him being a FlatCharacter with no meaningful plot contributions (His being [[BigBad Sunset Shimmer's]] ex-boyfriend has no bearing on either. The sub-plot of him [[ClearMyName providing evidence exonerating Twilight]] was so brief and [[{{Padding}} tacked-on it could have been cut without changing anything]]) or reason for Twilight [[StrangledByTheRedString to immediately crush on him]] despite never showing any romantic inclinations for anyone prior did no favors. Tellingly is as the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' series GrewTheBeard, rather than fix him [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap like Sunset]], they made Flash a ButtMonkey over and [[ShipSinking sunk his romance with Twilight]] while [[DemotedToExtra reducing his prominence]]. While this did improve Flash's popularity by making some fans fell bad for him and triggered his CharacterDevelopment into a good-natured goofball at peace with not being a love interest by the digital shorts, it was too late/not enough to make his hate fully disappear.
48	* ''WesternAnimation/NextAvengersHeroesOfTomorrow'': The film's version of [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] is disliked by fans, since he not only abandoned Earth to Ultron's rule (even after the villain had killed all his friends), but abandoned his daughter there for reasons that make no sense (he wanted to teach her humility like his own father had done, but that ignores the fact that Odin at least raised him to adulthood beforehand, whereas Thor didn't even bother to raise Torunn before sending her there).
49	* ''WesternAnimation/PJSparkles'': Not many people like the villains, particularly Betty, for being superfluous to the plot and needlessly gross.
50	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'':
51	** Governor Ratcliffe is an unusual example for several reasons, starting by the fact that as a villain motivated by greed and racism, [[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. That being said, Ratcliffe was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap for some in the DTV sequel due to being a more competent threat there as opposed to just a greedy buffoon.
52	** John Rolfe from the sequel for [[DieForOurShip coming between John Smith and Pocahontas]]. Historically, Rolfe ''did'' marry Pocahontas, whose relationship with John Smith was never anything more than a platonic friendship, 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).
53	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'': Many were disappointed by the film's portrayal of Aaron, whose depiction as a [[TheLoad cowardly and generally useless tagalong]] is a far cry from the original biblical tale where he acted as Moses' spokesperson before the Pharaoh (as Moses spoke with a stutter).
54	* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'': Few people seem to care much about Devon and Cornwall, for being pointless comic relief, as the main villain is already LaughablyEvil, and many find their jokes and song more obnoxious than funny. Notably, a lot of fanfics will either write them out completely or rewrite their characters to be more serious and helpful.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure'': You ''will'' have [[AccidentalNightmareFuel a very hard time]] liking the naked twin singing dolls. That is a fact.
56	* In Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'', there's Edmond. Most people dislike him, probably due to his voice and ElmerFuddSyndrome, and the fact he's a friend of the lead character, Chanticleer doesn't help much.
57	* ''WesternAnimation/RockDog2RockAroundThePark'': Wei and Shumai. Two blatant ''Film/WaynesWorld'' [[{{Expy}} expies]] who take up a lot of screentime to make corny one-liners and {{incredibly lame pun}}s at every opportunity, and are superfluous to the film as a whole considering their lack of impact on the plot.
58	* ''WesternAnimation/RomeoAndJulietSealedWithAKiss'':
59	** Kissy the Kissing Fish for being [[SweetnessAversion overly cute]] and contributing little to the plot.
60	** 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.
61	* ''WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly'': Scratcher is a pathetic letdown after the build-up of being Rudolph's exact opposite, doing little more than whining and hanging around Winterbolt like a disaffected groupie.
62	* Gary from the 2017 Netflix film ''WesternAnimation/{{Sahara}}'' is very hated for his lack of concern for his kidnapped sister, annoying TotallyRadical talk, and deliberately being TheLoad to main protagonist Ajar. Ajar and his scorpion friend Pit even [[LampshadeHanging tell him how annoying he is right to his face]], and to some, his CharacterDevelopment at the end of the movie seemed to be too little, too late.
63	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess'': Derek. His reason for [[StrangledByTheRedString suddenly being attracted to Odette]] is because he finally sees her beauty, which he is at least called out for in-universe by [[DeadpanSnarker Rogers]] and Odette herself. He really takes the cake when he's holding the IdiotBall so many times that he's practically ''playing hackysack with it'', as using a ''little'' common sense against Rothbart would've ruined the plan of the latter entirely. In fact, the producers had to edit the film because a test screening showed Derek to be too unsympathetic and the viewers were not happy about it.
64	* ''WesternAnimation/Thumbelina1994'':
65	** Jacquimo has become something of one, and endless comments have been made about how it completely flies over him that he simply could've flown Thumbelina back home [[SkewedPriorities instead of looking for the Vale of the Fairies]].
66	** Ms. Fieldmouse has gotten this status for providing the SoBadItsGood song that gave the movie its Razzie award, as well as being the first animated movie in general to win one, and also for trying to manipulate Thumbelina into an unhappy marriage for reasons that don't really make sense.
67	* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderAndTheHouseOfMagic'': Jack and Maggie. Jack's disdain towards Thunder may be understandable, given he's trying to protect Maggie. But it overstays its welcome to the point of prejudice, where both the mouse nor the old rabbit refuse to recognize Thunder's intentions are sincere, not to mention their jealousy towards him clouds their judgement. When their machinations to get Thunder kicked out results in their owner Mr. Lawrence [[NiceJobBreakingItHero injured]], they blame [[NeverMyFault Thunder]] for it instead of admitting that they let their jealousy get the better of them.
68	* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'': Pugsy, as he is the one who got Tom and Jerry to talk and sing about how they are best friends; making them the opposite of what they usually are. It doesn't help that he has an obnoxious, overly-happy attitude with [[FlatCharacter barely anything else to him otherwise]].
69	* Juniper from ''WesternAnimation/WalkingWithDinosaurs 3D'' is an odd ''Gender'' Scrappy for being a FlatCharacter and evident of the gratuitous sexism in the movie.
