    @@KestralKuthule Aster's backstory wasn't fleshed out like Po's was, and his character arc took a backseat due to not being the main character. Also, most people who watched the movie have never read the books. I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just that Bunnymund isn't really given enough screentime and it's not part of the bigger plot of RotG so it isn't given as much attention while Po's backstory was the entire plot of the 2nd movie. Maybe if DreamWorks ever decides to make a Guardians sequel(they most likely won't so don't get your hopes up), then they'll include it.

    And what’s worse is that Rapunzel had no prior frame of reference. She was in that captivity since she was a baby, she never realized she was suffering until the truth came out. Meanwhile, Fiona was a young girl deliberately sent away like a problem her parents couldn’t handle anymore, and no one came for her for *decades*. Rapunzel had the benefit of blissful ignorance, while Fiona had to grow up eventually realizing that she was a burden sent away to be resolved by others.

    I would argue Rapunzel had it worse. Fiona was a little girl when she was sent to her tower, plus she wrote in her Diary that she was friends with Sleeping Beauty and other Princesses. So she had memory of her Parents and Kingdom. Meanwhile in Disney's Tangeled, Rapunzel was kidnapped as a Baby who wasn't even half a year old, and locked in a tower growing up thinking that Gothel was her biological mother. She didn't even know she was a princess until later in the film.

    Her mental health is quite well for someone who lived 20 years in complete isolation (except for the dragon). The dragon must have been both like a prison guard and a friend to her. She must also have brought Fiona food since thats the only way for her to get food without escaping the tower.

    I think pitch black is one of the best dreamworks villains of All time. While most Holiday characters represents something posetive, he represents negative. Darkness. The feeling of being forgotten and in darkness is actually realistic and parallels jack frost, which makes him an antagonistic Version of Jack frost, what Jack could have been if his feeling of Isolation corrupted him. Not to forget He was so close to win, if it wasn't Jamie still beliving in the holiday characters. He truly is a well written villain in my eyes.

    You guys TOTALLY should've put Hiccup from the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise on this list. His backstory was one of the most tragic not only in DreamWorks Animation, but in animated film in general. His mother (whom he took after) was separated from him when he was a baby, he was raised by a strict, overbearing father who didn't understand him, his only friend growing up was his mentor Gobber, he was mercilessly bullied by all the kids his age (including that biatch Astrid), and the whole village hated him just because he couldn't be something he wasn't. It wasn't until he met Toothless that his whole life changed for the better.

    I don't think that Pitch Black is really a villain, but a Guardian in his own way. The other Guardians may represent wonder, hope, dreams, memories and fun, but I think Pitch represents protection, growth and strength. Fear may seem dark and negative, but it can be very helpful. Children need to feel fear in order to both stay safe, overcome that fear and to grow as a person.

He's the last Pooka survivor that Pitch caused I remember something when he held Sophie, he has a expression that he missed someone that he cared for. I don't know who. But I do find Bunny's story sad as well. But he keeps going strong to inspire other kids and give them hope.

    You know both Puss and Kitty have sad backstories as well. Puss was a hero after doing something noble, but then his brother betrayed him and made Puss lose everything all because Humpty couldn't be happy for him. As for Kitty Softpaws, she was a stray who longed for a family and a home to call her own, and for whatever reason, the family who took her in got declawed, and she grew to distrust everybody she met. And it only gets a bit sadder for these two in the new movie, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in watching.

Book Aster survives as the sole member of his race on a completely different planet. Book Tooth watched her family be wiped out along with her mum's race. Nicholas ST. Claus was an orphan raised by bandits and has probably the most stable backstory.

    I know we don't know toothless's origin but I took the liberty of making one and it is sad: Years ago the Night Furies were a most deadliest and intelligent of all the dragons however in their pack was the Royal Fury a Night Fury that could literally harness lightning itself more dangerous than a Skrill's lightning, the Royal Fury had a litter of Ospring especially the runt of the pack a hiccup if you'd say, one day the Night Fury's Island was invaded by dragon hunters alongside a fleet of crazied Death Grippers and thislead to an all out battle, the Royal Fury fought them all of valiantly but all the Furies were killed except for the runt so he ordered his son to runaway as he would hold them, when the runt escaped the Royal Fury stared down against four Death Grippers and a cloaked man with a French accent. When the runt got far away from the island it saw a humungus explosion of lightning occur and realised that everyone he knew was gone, years later he reached Dragon Island and encountered an angry Whispering Death who tried to attack him but the Fury gnashed his teeth so hard at him it scared the Whispering Death, however both dragons were right infront of a cave entrance of a the Red Death who scared of the Whispering Death but saw what the Fury could do so he mind controlled him to help his dragons collect food for him, the Furies job was to take out any catapult towers and other things that could pose threat to the flock. However on one raid the Fury was shot down and tied up causing him to crash into the cove but also crash through the forest and ripping of his tail finn rendering him incapable of flight.
