Sunny (Strange Magic)

Sunny is one of the main characters in the 2015 film Strange Magic. He's an elf who is best friends with the Fairy King's youngest daughter Dawn and is secretly in love with her but is unable to express his feelings.

Why He's Not So "Sunny" After All (No Pun Intended)

 * 1) Like most of the characters in the film, he's got a hideous character design. It's meant to look photorealistic but it basically looks like an adult's head strapped on a little body.
 * 2) He doesn't really have of lot of traits outside of "close best friend/love interest" or a proper backstory. It's suggested that there's some kind of fairy-elf social class thing preventing them for hanging out, but it's never really stated, leaving the audience to assume he's just being nice for the sake of it. He's not even very good it that.
 * 3) We're supposed to see him as one of the heroes of the film, even though he feels entitled to have Dawn just by virtue of being her best friend. To the point where he willingly tries to give her love potion to force her to love him. That sounds like something Roland would do. To drive that point home, two of them even had shared opinions when they were next to each other.
 * 4) He's completely stupid, considering he promised to take care of the love potion yet screwed everything up at the ball.
 * 5) He gets no punishment for his actions whatsoever.
 * 6) Elijah Kelley did a shocking bad and terrible job to voice and performance for him even for a CGI-animated movie.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It can be argued that he does actually care about Dawn, despite his actions.
 * 2) He admittedly has a few funny moments here and there.
