20 Children’s TV and Movie Heroes Who Were Majorly Messed-Up
Children’s media tends to be pretty black and white in morality if extremely not in color scheme. There are good guys and bad guys, and there isn’t a lot of crossover between the two. Not a lot of antiheroes in cartoons for babies, is all we’re saying. Yet some of those supposed “good guys” sometimes do extremely messed-up things in the name of a baby-friendly narrative.
For example, “in the 2005 Disney movie Chicken Little, the school bully, Foxy Loxy, gets teleported by aliens and suffers brain damage resulting in a massive personality change,” user HoodooSquad explained to r/AskReddit. “When the aliens move to return her to normal, Runt of the Litter stops them, saying she (is) now ‘perfect.’ It’s then implied the two become romantically involved.”
Pretty gross!

Hoodoo Squad then asked their fellow Redditors, “What’s the worst thing a ‘good guy’ ever did in a children’s movie or show?” and lots of bad behavior soon followed.
