Arriving over a decade after its previous stuffed successor, Toy Story 3 had a lot to live up to, as the franchise had already been deemed a cultural classic. And that same pressure was on its villain, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (Lotso for short), voiced by Ned Beatty. Fortunately, just like the film, Lotso exceeded expectations.

Lotso is positioned as the kindly caretaker of the Sunnyside Daycare collection of toys, only to be revealed as a cruel and dictatorial ruler, making his fellow toys suffer so that he can remain in power. As his backstory reveals, Lotso was abandoned by his previous owner, and if he can't get love and affection, then no toy can. Even if his routine is something of a new spin on the familiar villainous arc of Toy Story 2's previous villain, Stinky Pete, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear is still a wonderfully designed, instantly memorable character that brings an air of cuddly menace to the Toy Story universe.
