General Grawl, or simply known as Grawl, is the main antagonist of the 2009 movie Planet 51. He is a high-ranking alien military officer who believes that his planet is under attack from alien invaders (in reality the "alien" is a clueless human astronaut who is no danger to anyone).
He was voiced by Gary Oldman, who also portrayed Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Drexl Spivey in True Romance, Norman Stansfield in Léon: The Professional, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in The Fifth Element, Egor Korshunov in Air Force One, Ruber in Quest For Camelot, Mason Verger in Hannibal, Carnegie in The Book of Eli, Nicholas Wyatt in Paranoia, Jacob Marley in the 2009 film adaptation of A Christmas Carol, Father Solomon in Red Riding Hood, Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2, Dreyfus in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Rocky in True Crime: Streets of L.A., Vladislav Dukhovich in The Hitman's Bodyguard, Daniel Clarke in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Lord Vortech in LEGO Dimensions, and Dr. Zachary Smith/Spider Smith in Lost In Space.
History[]
Driven by a fear of the unknown, General Grawl becomes a menace to himself and his men as well as (somewhat ironically) his world as he becomes obsessed with not only capturing the "alien" but in either killing him or having his brain removed.
However in the end of the film, General Grawl is redeemed when he is rescued from his self-destructing base, making him finally realize that the "alien" was not a threat and also opening his eyes to the fact that blind ignorance and fear is far more dangerous than imaginary threats.
