Custom image of villains from various DreamWorks movies.
Founded in 1994, DreamWorks quickly established itself as a rival to Disney in animated films. They branded themselves as anti-Disney, openly mocking many of Disney's iconic tropes and iconography, while also telling more mature and complicated stories. This led to one of their earliest CGI films, Shrek, winning the first Academy Award for Best Animated Film.
9 Dave 'The Penguins of Madagascar' Once the star attraction at the Central Park Zoo, Dave the octopus finds himself pushed aside and forgotten when four baby penguins named Skipper , Kowalski , Rico and Private arrive. This happened at every new zoo and aquarium he was sent to, which planted in Dave a burning need for revenge. Disguising himself as a human named Dr. Octavius Brine and Dave creates a formula called the Medusa Serum, which will turn all penguins into ugly monsters.
For DreamWorks' first film, Mandible serves as an effective villain. Hackman's voice sounds authoritative and cunning, which helps to sell Mandible as an intelligent and charismatic leader able to fool others without drawing suspicion. His social Darwinist mindset also fits well with the movie's main themes about individuality.
6 The Toad 'Flushed Away' Once kept as a pet, the Toad found himself flushed down the toilet when his owner replaced him with a pet mouse. He arrives in the mammalian sewer city of Ratropolis, where he establishes himself as a powerful crime lord. As the FIFA World Cup Finals draws closer, the Toad gets ready to enact a plan to wipe out the mice and rats so that amphibians can repopulate the city.
The Colonel is the perfect villain for the man vs. nature story in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. He represents America's ideology of Manifest Destiny, believing that Spirit, representing the wild lands, can be tamed with enough time and discipline. However, he also isn't without his sense of honor, and begrudgingly accepts Spirit as a worthy adversary.
3 Eris 'Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas' As the Goddess of discord and chaos, Eris is always looking for new ways to spread her influence among humans. Her latest plan involves using the thief Sinbad to steal the Book of Peace from his best friend, Prince Proteus of Syracuse . When Sinbad ultimately refuses to steal the book, Eris steals it and frames Sinbad, with Proteus agreeing to take his place to give Sinbad ten days to reclaim the book before he is executed.
