From murderous cars, to magic witches and fraternity-monsters… We’ve still
got lots of Pixar villains who need to answer for their crimes. So once again,
we’re bringing them into our courtroom and delivering some justice upon them.
I’m Kifinosi with WickedBinge and today we’re Sentencing Pixar Villains For Their Crimes.
Up on today’s docket are the villains from the following movies: Cars 2,
Brave, Monsters University, and Inside Out.
The first docket we’ll be discussing is everyone’s absolute favorite pixar film; Cars 2.
Starting off our Cars 2 docket is Sir Miles Axelrod. Miles Axelrod is the main antagonist
of Cars 2 where he leads a society of lemons or old, unused cars that have become damaged
over time. Axelrod uses his connections to run this group in such a way that he acts as
a stereotypical Bond villain. He spends most of the film working on a massive conspiracy
to completely disable green energy and other non-oil fuels. This is an abuse of power and
would undoubedtly be Corruption in some shape or form. Due to what exactly he was trying to do he
pretty heavily leaned into increasing pollution, destroying property and even the attempted murder
of some of the protagonists. However, while these are heinous crimes, it’s worth noting that those
aren’t the worst he’s been up to, as he commits a massive amount of crimes against man or…car kind,
which include what we would typically label as crimes against humanity and even attemps
a massive amount of mass murder. Due to hiding behind the scenes so effectively,
it’s hard to really say if he’d be prosecuted, but with everything we know about him, it’s pretty
clear he should be handled accordingly. Axelrod would be executed via dismantling or scrapping.
CRIMES: Attempted Mass Murder, Pollution, Corruption, Conspiracy
PUNISHMNT: Execution via dismantling or scrapping
Axelrod’s accomplice and friend, Professor Zundapp ranks next on our list. Zundapp makes
his first appearance a strong one because he pops up and orders the murder of a british spy and then
attmpts to murder his partner Finn McMissile. He is trying to sabotage the World Grand Prix,
intending on Sabotage and Destruction of Property to stop anyone that comes across his path. This
includes another execution style murder when he has his crew crush Rod “Torque” Redline because he
was Finn McMissile’s contact in Tokyo. He stalks and hunts down Mater once he has the classified
info and attempts ot murder him on more than one ocassion. He has caused mass death by igniting
the alternative fuel some cars are using and is sabotaging this alternative fuel because of their
high supply of oil making them even more powerful. Zundapp is an enforcer for Axelrod, and is aiding
and abetting his evil plan mostly because he hates being made fun of due to his lemon status.
Zundapp would face a similar fate to his boss and his victims, being executed by a car crusher.
CRIMES: Mass Murder, Sabotage, Stalking PUNISHMENT: Execution via car crusher
Rounding out the Cars 2 docket is Francesco Bernoulli. Francesco is an italian race car
and a rival to Lightning McQueen during the World Grand Prix. As a young boy he would race
alongside his friends by trespassing on a popular racing strip. He then pops up throughout the film,
racing against Lightning and forming a pretty hefty rivalry with him. While the two of them
race, Francesco doesn’t do much in terms of crime beyond being a bit of a douche. In fact,
Francesco’s only crime beyond being very clearly cocky is some petty stuff from the past. In fact,
at worst he’d get a 500 dollar fine for his petty trespassing.
CRIMES: Trespassing PUNISHMENT: 500 dollar fine
Moving forward we have a classic film with some
interesting villains we need to dissect, none other than Brave
The first criminal we’ll be talking about is Mor’du. Mor’du is a decades old prince who
used magic to turn himself into a bear. When his father decided that the four princes should rule
together, Mor’du was against this, severing his bond with them and declaring that he alone should
be king. This led to a war between him and his brothers, leading to massive casualties and a
ton of destruction but as this was through war and no war crimes were commited, he can’t really be
prosecuted for this. After obtaining a spell from The Witch, he turned into a large black bear and
quickly murdered all three of his brothers, which would be three counts of Fratricide. The final
crime he commited while conscious is the mass murder of many of his previous soldiers. Mor’du
later lost all traces of his mind and any crimes commited past that point are irrelevant. So,
from what he has done, it makes perfect sense for him to be executed via beheading
as not only is this accurate for the time but seems to be the only way to put the bear down.
CRIMES: Fratricide, Mass Murder PUNISHMENT: Executed via beheading
The other criminal we’ll be discussing is The Witch. The Witch, otherwise known as the Witch
Carver is a powerful witch that lives within the forest and grants mostly bear-based wishes to
those who come across her. She ends up casting the spell that turns Mor’du into the dangerous bear
we know now, and would be somewhat responsible for the deaths that Mor’du caused. So at best it
would be accessory to murder and at worst would be aiding and abetting. She is also responsible
for the spell that turns the queen into a bear, this is of course, a potential crime of poisoning
or maybe even something more sinister, but as Merida is the one who does it, it’s hard to really
put the Witch at full fault. The Witch Carver’s punishment is ten years in prison with a chance
at parole… To be honest though, she should be happy we aren’t burning her at the stake.
CRIMES: Accessory to Murder, Poisoning PUNISHMENT: Ten Years in prison, chance of parole
Moving from new films back to sequels and prequels, up next we have Monsters University
The first villain we’ll be dissecting would be Dean Hardscrabble. Dean Abigail Hardscrabble is
the dean of the Scare Program at the university that Mike and Sulley are attending. Upon her
first arrival she makes a great entrance, knocking out all the lights in the room,
which allows her to scare all of the people in the room, inciting mass terror to further her
agenda of…inciting further terror. Now, while this is not violent, it would technically under
most definitions be considered terrorism. By the end of the film after a variety of games
called the Scare Games, Mike Wazowski ends up passing into the human world through a door,
which Hardscrabble then has destroyed, which would probably be called unlawful imprisonment. Now,
beyond that, she doesn’t do much we can prosecute on, which is a shame considering she’s the closest
to an actual villain this film has. After everything she did throughout the film,
we sentence her to five years in prison with a chance at parole.
CRIMES: Terrorism, Unlawful Imprisonment PUNISHMENT: Five Years in prison, chance at parole
Ranking next on our list is Johnny Worthington III the leader of the frat Roar Omega Roar and
a major antagonist in the film. Johnny leads the frat much like Bradley Uppercrust III in an
Extremely Goofy Movie. He acts as a snobby rich boy who cares far too much for his reputation
and how his frat is seen, and this comes over to his crimes, as few as they may be.
Johnny’s most consistent crimes are extortion and threats, although both of these are aimed
at Sulley specifically to be kicked out of the frat so they’re not exactly massive crimes by
any stretch of the imagination. However, he is also shown to consistently harass Mike and the
rest of the Oozma Kappas, including assaulting them by pouring glitter and paint on them.
In fact, he not only photographs the group without their consent but then sells the images as well.
In fact that would be easy grounds for a lawsuit as he does it specifically to
make people less scared of them, which is entirely purposeful because in the
monster world and the Scare Games that image is vastly important.
Now, none of these crimes are particularly violent, however this is clear cut harassment.
Worthington is a man who cares far too much about his own personal image to
ever consider the feelings of others or even the legality of his own actions.
With all that in mind, we sentence Worthington to 1 year in prison, community service and a
25,000 dollar fine paid to Mike and Oozma Kappa.
CRIMES: Harassment, Assault PUNISHMENT: Ten Years in prison,
community service and a fine Rounding out this docket is
Chet Alexander. Chet “The Claw” Alexander is a red crab-like monster who is part of the Roar
Omega Roar fraternity at Monsters University. Now, Chet is little more than a yes man who
follows the orders of Johnny to a tee, even when it comes to the harassment and hate
crimes we mentioned with his boss. At best he’s an accessory, but considering how active he makes
himself in these criminal activities, he’s aiding and abetting Johnny’s multiple criminal actions.
This would be for every one of his crimes from harassment and assault to the lower bar
stuff like threats. Due to the consistent aiding and abetting throughout the movie,
we sentence him to 1 year in prison, with a chance at parole, as well as community service.
CRIMES: Aiding and Abetting, Harassment PUNISHMENT: 1 year in prison and community service
The final movie on out docket is a classic with an upcoming sequel, Inside Out.
The one and only villain on our docket is not the usual kind of villain, being Gloom. Gloom
is an entity that exists within the mind of Riley Andersen like the other emotions she lives with.
Unlike in the original version where he was a real emotion, Gloom appears as a black mist
that overtakes Riley’s mind during the film. Now, technically because of the lack of a full entity,
it’s hard to prosecute, however, they do have a full list of crimes to discuss. Gloom causes
Riley to turn away from her friends and family and isolate herself but none of these are really
criminal actions, only affecting the girl’s mindstate. However, while it was Anger that
incited it, Gloom caused the theft and subsequent credit card fraud that Riley does during the
film. This is exemplified by the control panel turning Gray and the emotions losing control
which obviously means that this feeling of gloom is the one who is responsible. This gloom also
causes Riley to start feeling no emotion at all, which causes her not to feel bad for
what she has done until it is far too late. Gloom is eventually defeated, but in the short time it
appears, Gloom makes quite a name for itself. It could also be argued that Gloom also takes part
in identity theft, as Riley does use her mother’s name to use the card and when Gloom is in control,
Riley is nothing like herself. However, the reality is… Gloom, like all the emotions,
is just a part of being human… For that reason, we can’t really “charge” Gloom for its crimes. So
I guess it’s free to go… Hopefully Riler just does her best to keep it in check.
CRIMES: Theft, Credit Card Fraud, Identity Theft PUNISHMENT: None
