Examples of [[Jerkass Woobie]]s in [[Animated Films[[Film]].s include:
 
----
* Fagin, from ''[[Oliver and Company]]''. For one thing, he has his dogs commit crimes on his behalf, and for another, he writes a letter to a wealthy cat owner saying to bring ransom or never see the cat again. But when you consider what a vicious loan shark is putting him through, you inevitably realize that he's the lesser of evils.
* The eponymous Beast from Disney's ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]''. He starts out seeming like the monster he appears to be, but we soon learn the anguish he feels about this behavior and how it's prevented him from becoming normal again (he even has a song about it in the Broadway version). His interaction with Belle then steadily pushes him into the realm of a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]].
Line 19:
* The eponymous character of [[Megamind]] fits this trope to a T.
