** [[Angst? What Angst?|He's still a pretty cheery guy.]]
* James and Hilda Bloggs of ''[[When the Wind Blows]]'' are a nice retired British couple who could be your grandparents. They really don't understand the implications of surviving [[World War III]], so we're going to see them die of radiation poisoning, still believing that the Government will collect them.
* Susan Murphy of ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]''. Hit by a meteor on her wedding day, she begins glowing green and turns into a monster, sending everyone she knows fleeing in terror. She's captured by the military and locked away ''permanently''. She's with real monsters who don't understand her. When she finally gets a chance to get out (by facing something out of her nightmares), her fiance rejects her and she's abandoned. ''Then'' she's kidnapped by an alien who wants the [[Phlebotinum]] that turned her into Ginormica so he can destroy the world. She finally grows a backbone and [[Took a Level
* Simba of ''[[The Lion King]]'' was once a fun-loving and somewhat immature little lion cub who just couldn't wait to be king. The former pic for the trope page (which is now the pic for the [[Please Wake Up]] page) is of the poor kid trying to get his father, Mufasa, to [[Please Wake Up|wake up]] after his [[Complete Monster|evil bastard uncle Scar]] sent him off a cliff to be trampled to death by a wildebeest stampede that his hyenas set off in a dastardly scheme to take the throne of the Pride Lands for himself. And just for added [[Kick the Dog]] measure, the son of a bitch then makes Simba believe that ''he'' was responsible for his father's death before then encouraging him to leave the Pride Lands and never return, while at the same time sending his hyenas to kill him. It takes a number of years with Timon and Pumbaa, a reunion with his childhood sweetheart Nala, and a fateful meeting with the ghost of his father before he's finally ready to take back his home, and even then, it was only after learning the truth of who was responsible for Mufasa's death that he truly manages to turn things around emotionally.
* ''Bambi''. He loses his mother and has to live with someone who doesn't seem to care about him at all. He gets better.
