Many Disney characters have dark pasts.
Although Disney movies have a reputation for being uplifting family classics, many of the most famous characters have surprisingly tragic backstories. Disney's best animated movies can often get away with some disturbing tales thanks to their colorful, expressive styles and their catchy songs. Stripping away these elements reveals that many beloved characters have to endure incredible hardships before their stories truly begin.
The Beast has a long journey of self-improvement to undertake, but it would be harsh to say that his punishment is just. He has to face the consequences of his past every day in the mirror, and his entire staff are trapped in the castle with him to compound his guilt. Ultimately, his only chance at salvation falls into his lap by pure coincidence, as Belle's father seeks refuge in the castle when he gets lost in the forest.
Nick Wilde is a smooth-talking con artist, but his sleek exterior hides a painful backstory. As a child, Nick dreamed of joining the Junior Ranger Scouts so that he could finally make friends and be accepted by others, but his initiation was a trap, and the other scouts made fun of him and put a muzzle on his face. Zootopia has elements of racial allegory, and Nick's treatment shows that people assume he is dangerous and sneaky just because he is a fox.
