  I think my favorite thing about Death is that he isn&apos;t really evil, he&apos;s literally just doing his job and only dislikes Puss because of his nine lives. If I were the grim reaper and this one guy kept commiting the mortality version of tax evasion I&apos;d be pretty pissed too.

  I really love Last Wish&apos;s villains, because they&apos;re all good examples of my three favorite kinds of villains: the sympathetic anti-hero, Goldilocks; the pure evil, Jack Horner; and the force of nature, Death

  The funny thing is, most of these villains still had a degree of sympathetic nature to them, but Dreamworks still didn’t shy away from showing why they’re wrong. Something I’ve noticed, both in real people and entertainment, is there’s this idea that if you’ve had a hard life, you’re entitled some degree of levity for your bad actions. I love that Dreamworks still shows sympathetic traits for their villains while still showing that it doesn’t excuse what atrocities they’ve committed

  Making villains misunderstood and redeemable isn&apos;t necessarily bad.<br>What&apos;s bad is when you do it nonstop.<br>Fact of the matter is, bad people exist.

  &quot;I&apos;d be terrified at the upcoming fourth film, but their track record has given me confidence they&apos;re going to be just fine.&quot;<br>Well... This didn&apos;t age well.

  Honestly, the fact that megamind created a perfect example of a nice guy YEARS before that even existed is so wild to me.

  you forgot to mention that Shen wasn&apos;t just motivated in conquering all of China, he was greatly obsessed in escaping the fate the goat lady predicted, that one day he would die by the hands of a warrior of Ying and Yang (which he predicted to be a panda). And it goes in line with something Oogway said in the first movie: trying to prevent your fate only results in fulfilling it.<br>In his &nbsp;fear and obsession to ensure his survival in the future, he accidentally led Po to become the warrior that would end him, as well as severing other possible paths that would make him happy

  What strikes me about Disney movies is that generally speaking, they usually write the movie around the hero and insert the villain where Dreamworks at their best write around both. <br><br>It also helps that Dreamworks is much more willing to take risks with their villains as opposed to playing it safe.

  Big Jack Horner was such a refreshing character in an animated movie after years and years of plot twist villains, I missed over the top bad guys in films
