You know those family movies that were about an animal? In those movies there is always some villain or villains trying to steal the animal. Whether it's for the circus, or a past owner, or to do tests on it. For some movies I always thought it was unnecessary and just cliche.

Casper (1995) comes to mind.

Yeah Finding Forrester, the Gus Van Sant film had this irritating subplot with F. Murray Abraham as this villainous teacher or something. The movie would have been much better off without that.

I'm unfamiliar with Probably Up. It's a sequel to Yeah Finding Forrester. |

Isn't The Sandlot a family film? I don't think there really was a villain. I wouldn't necessarily say that big dog or that rival baseball team.

Lol, no that's an example of a movie where there is no villain and an example of how there doesn't need to be a villain especially in these family movies. |

I stopped liking the movie once the villain plot started. I also can't stand those fucking talking dogs and they are only in the movie because of the villain.

The original Ghostbusters already had a big bad in the form of Gozer so having the bureaucrat from the EPA as an antagonist felt unnecessary to me.

There is at least one: A good many Studio Ghibli films have no villains.

Keyes turned out to not really be a villain in E.T.

I have seen Mary and the Witch's Flower, from Studio Ponoc, which seem to be a competitor/successor (not sure exactly) though.

I think I would’ve liked the Descent more if it had stayed more of a survival thriller and not turned into a monster movie.

Vertical Limit...I always thought having Bill Paxton be this selfish shady antagonist never added much to the story.
