I'm sorry but I'm enraptured by Mr. Gristle from The Boxtrolls movie. He has so few lines and yet.. he carries the entire movie.

On the villain wiki, he is crimes are: kidnapping, attempted murder, theft, and aiding and abetting. A terrifying wrap sheet for the character described as "perhaps the most sociopathic of the Red Hats, second only to Snatcher himself." This is by no means a means to eradicate his in-universe crimes, simply the description of a reaction to the artistry of a beautifully done character.

His acrobatics are second to none!! Flying through the air and flipping??? Holy shit the artistry. The animators on The Boxtrolls deserve seven consecutive raises and a box of chocolates shaped like hearts and three bouquets of hypoallergenic flowers.

And his lines!!! Simple, to the point, clearly illustrating who he is and what he values. Beautiful. My favourites are: "throat," "acquire," "leeches," "shhh," and "i have lost a lot of blood." They simply carry the entire movie. Mr. Tracy Morgan I must thank you for that beautiful voice acting.

To make a long story short, Mr. Gristle, if you were real, you would be a horrid, awful, and rancid. But, as a fictional character, you are beautiful. 10/10 job. Congratulations on making it.

Just watched Coraline for the first time in a while and honestly? Shout out to Wybie’s grandma for instilling some basic horror literacy in him. If real-Wybie did nothing else, he sure did deal the killing blow on that hand and helped lock it in a well with no questions asked. King
