Always impressed by the character design of Aardman's villains and this guy was a freak! Small man in a small job with echoes of frustrated Travis Bickle. So they're on the farm, right - there's no grounds to even impound anyone - and he's trying to kill them! Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he didn't know there was a grown man inside… (Man, this film's even scarier for adults!)

"What?"
"I know it was you."
Agreed.
I love an over the top villain.
But despite all his many flaws, he still had an eye for the ladies!
Aardman once again nails it with their antagonist! Trumper was definitely a great bad guy, joining the great ranks of Aardman bad guys like the Tweedys, Victor Quartermaine, The Toad and Le Frog. The end of the movie got really intense where he not only stalks the sheep back to their farm but straight up tries to murder them and The Farmer! Fortunately everyone makes it out ok and Trumper gets his comeuppance haha

Wait what was the penguin called in The Wrong Trousers? I felt like you left out their greatest villain and his terrifying simplicity. Those eyes, man!
"You think I'm ƒucking stupid?"
"What?"
"I know it was you."
Feathers McGraw! Sorry was mainly referencing the villains from the feature length films haha. Otherwise I'm glad to include Feathers, Piella Bakewell and Preston!

How do you think Trumper compares to Dwayne Lafontant, the nutball animal control officer from 'Over the Hedge?'
I'd say they pretty much come out equal on the Evil scale; Dwayne takes his job WAY too seriously, and Trumper enjoys his too much.
