What's the worst thing a protagonist ever did in a children's movie or show?

0:05.4

Tink in Peter Pan is an absolute monster. She tried to get the lost boys to murder Wendy.

0:11.3

The whole film is full of aberrant morality. I mean, that's relatively on the low end of her atrocities.

0:17.1

She sells out Pan and the last boys to the Pirates because of her hatred and jealousy.

0:21.7

In the book, it's even worse because the pirates aren't buffoons, but highly competent and

0:26.7

Smee isn't as much of a lovable idiot in the original.

0:29.6

1:03.5

Honestly, a lot of Disney shows and other kids' shows have creepy undertones like this.

1:08.4

This won't make much sense to anyone who's never watched the show,

1:11.1

but I'll never forget an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, where Alex makes a new friend that

1:15.6

turns out to be part of this underground uprising against the unfair rules on who gets to have

1:20.6

powers. She seemingly joins her, only to find out she was actually tricking her so she could

1:25.8

turn her into the authorities. They act like
