Big Baby might be one of the Toy Story series' most scary figures at first, but the revelation of his (and Lotso's) tragic backstory changes perception of him hugely in the heart-breaking threequel. He's no more a villain than Jessie and Bullseye are in the second movie: he's actually a victim of Lotso's manipulation just as the other toys are.

And when we learn of the events that twisted Lotso into the villain he is, it is the implications to Big Baby - who simply doesn't understand the accidental abandonment and who is abused and ridiculed by Lotso - that are most devastating. From there, we realise that the reason Big Baby is so tatty is probably because of some years-long system of torment at the hands of the one toy he looks up to (almost as a sibling).

That's pretty hard to take.
