9. Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear Is Sentenced To Die From Exposure - Toy Story 3 (2010)
This is only technically a Disney film; more accurately, its a Pixar film, which might disqualify it from a list of this sort. But the villain, and his ultimate fate, are just too good to pass up discussing. Besides, since Disney bought out Pixar and made John Lassetter head of Disney Animation Studios, the Toy Story franchise counts, at least unofficially. Toy Story 3 was the most tear jerking film of the trilogy, and appropriately, Lots-o-Huggin Bear was the most evil of all the Toy Story antagonists. Yeah, Sid was mean to his toys, but its not as though he knew they were actually alive. Stinky Pete was going to get Woody shipped to Japan, but he didnt want him dead. But the Southern, genteel talking Lotso? He left the entire gang to burn to death in an incinerator. And appropriately, hes given the cruelest fate - hes stuck to the front of a truck, where hell be ripped, torn, and eventually thrown in the incinerator himself. It doesn't happen on screen, but it's going to happen eventually. Sometimes, its even worse to leave it to the imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYzFcBd8Bu8
