Drake (The Pebble and the Penguin)

Drake is the main antagonist of the 1995 Don Bluth animated film The Pebble and the Penguin. He is the archenemy of Hubie.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He’s just another Alpha Bastard stereotype AKA Mean Popular Boy.
 * 2) * Speaking of that, he has no explanation of bullying Hubie other than the fact that they’re both competing for Marina’s affections, which makes his hatred for him even more pathetic.
 * 3) He feels like a knock off of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and Bowser from the Super Mario series, as all three of them want to have the leading lady all to themselves and hate the male protagonist.
 * 4) His design is rather humanized for a penguin like him, including having fingers and teeth.
 * 5) He gets lustful feelings for Marina and he only wants her to be his mate because she’s the most beautiful girl penguin in the rookery.
 * 6) He never takes no for an answer and continues forcing Marina to be his mate despite her protests. Drake, do you NOT understand that no means no?
 * 7) In his musical number, he threatened to feed Marina to a shark if she didn’t choose him as her mate. We aren’t kidding
 * 8) Despite being the main antagonist, he only has six minutes of screen time.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Tim Curry did an amazing job voicing him.
 * 2) Passable character design, depending on your view.
 * 3) "Don’t Make Me Laugh!"
 * 4) At least he's not as bad as Jake Oswalt

Trivia

 * 1) Possibly due to the film's high amount of anthropomorphism, Drake (along with the other penguins) has teeth and fingers. This is odd because in real life, penguins do not have any of these.
 * 2) It was never revealed what species of penguin Drake belongs to unlike Hubie and Rocko. However, given his size and lure, he may be an Emperor Penguin.
