One of two entries for "Villains Gone Good" contest.

It was hard to choose a bad guy to turn good because Disney villains are so evil that it's hard to think of them as anything but. Then I remembered Sid Philips of Toy Story. As a kid, Sid seems like the worst; he's mean, nasty, and destroys toys for fun. But when I look back as an adult, I kind of feel sorry for him.

First, he probably doesn't come from the best household. It's never stated in the movie what his home life is like, but it’s obvious his family gives him very little supervision and probably very little attention in general. Maybe the reason he acts out is just a cry for attention.

Second, his destroying and mangling together of toys may be scary as a kid (especially in context of the film) but it isn’t that horrible. He doesn’t know that they toys are alive or that he’s hurting them. Let’s be honest, most of us played pretty rough with our toys as kids. And that’s what Sid is doing, playing rough. Not to mention his ability to make his own toys out of the parts of others shows a great deal of skill and creativity for someone his age. Sid could be very capable if given the right direction.

In the image, I have Sid putting his skills to good use, fixing his little sister’s dolls rather than breaking them. Maybe this is a sequel to the movie where Sid got proper therapy after raving about all his toys coming to life. Or maybe it’s an alternate timeline where Sid was always a good kid. Whatever floats your boat.
