- The Bad Guys (2022): The titular gang is a Caper Crew of predatory animals who were cast out of society for being seen as dangerous, and so became the villains people saw them as and bonded with each other through their shared hurt. They're structured like a family unit: Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake are the parents, Ms. Tarantula is the eldest child, Mr. Shark is the middle child, and Mr. Piranha is the youngest. That said, the movie itself shows how this trope can cause problems: Mr. Wolf wanting to go straight is treated as a rejection by Mr. Snake, and the rest of the family leaves him for it. However, they eventually decide to go straight with him.
