Dysfunctional toons Today’s animated film characters often display significant personality flaws or disorders. Some have a single dysfunctional trait, as is the case for Angry Birds, while others may have “clusters” of problematic traits, as shown by the South Park kids. Some critics suggest that the latter (especially Cartman, second from left) show enduring grumpiness, disrespect for authority, irreverence, self-absorption, disregard for the feelings of others, general lack of conscience, and a tendency to get into trouble.
