Write 4 pages with APA style on The Villains Back-Story: The Little Mermaid: Return to the Sea and Despicable Me. Both movies carry child-friendly plots. Both movies have cute little children and lots of cute little characters in it. And both movies have villains that wanted the power to hold the world (or the moon for the matter) in their hands. In the Little Mermaid, Morgana, Ursula’s sister, deceived melody into stealing King Triton’s trident. She needed the trident to lord over the oceans and rule the world. Morgana succeeded in getting the trident and without delay, established her kingdom and commanded everyone to bow before her, including King Triton himself. With Morgana at the pinnacle of her ice castle and all of the ocean creatures bowing before her, she then looked up to the sky and said, "See that, Ma! Who's your favorite now?" On the other hand, in the movie Despicable Me, we have a notorious villain in the person of Mr. Gru. He walks around town with his stinking personality, and he is proud of it. When the world declared that a crime done by another villain was the worst ever, he was challenged, especially when his mother called to emphasize that her son was a loser. Gru wanted to be the world’s worst villain and prove his mother wrong. He wanted to commit the world’s worst crime. Obviously, nothing could beat him if he steals the moon. In the course of his adventures in making that dream a reality, Gru would have flashbacks to his childhood when his dream of going to the moon started. Most notable of them was when he declared to his mother that “Mom, someday, I'm going to go to the moon,” to which his mother replied, “I'm afraid you're too late, son. NASA isn't sending the monkeys anymore.” That scene got stuck inside of him and he carried that baggage even on his trip to the moon. What do these two villains have in common? They were both neglected as a child. Morgana was always second best to her sister, Ursula, or so she thought. She grew up into an adult full of hatred for her older sister. She entered into the adult world with a mind full of greed for power and a heart longing for attention and acceptance from the one person that matters most – her mother.
