Every Pixar Villain Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Stinky Pete (Toy Story 2)

Stinky Pete the Prospector (Kelsey Grammer) remains one of Pixar's best-executed twist villains.

The grandfatherly charm of Kelsey Grammer's velvet-voiced performance belies the fact that Stinky Pete is a deeply bitter toy after spending years being ignored by children who preferred to play with "cooler" ones.

And while his attempts to foil Woody's return home come from a place of profound jealously, Stinky Pete is an impressively three-dimensional villain all the same.

When he tells Woody that he's destined to be discarded by Andy one day, it's a chilling moment that so brilliantly tees up the events of the next two films.

Pete isn't entirely unsympathetic, yet his grossly selfish actions render most of that potential sympathy moot.
