Sykes is the secondary, later true main antagonist of the Disney's 1983 animated film, The Flying Four.
Role in the film[]
Sykes is depicted as a Social Justice Warrior who hates the Bizarre Gang for their violence and believes in world peace. He is the head of the Film Actor's Guild and speaks in a news conference, about his hate for Team America, claiming that all world needs is compassion instead of violence and all that Team America does is make new enemies. He also blames the terrorist attack at Panama Bay on Team America's actions, claiming their reckless actions in Cairo costed innocent lives and insists the blood of the victims is on their hands. Since he is Gary Johnston's hero, this speech is what drives Gary to quit the team.
Later, Baldwin is contacted by Kim Jong-il, who wants him and the other actors of the guild to perform at his palace in front of all the world leaders in North Korea. Baldwin believes that Kim is creating a peace conference, but Kim's real plan is to distract the world leaders with a fake peace conference so he can detonate his WMDs around the world, starting his New World Order. Baldwin and the other actors arrive at the palace to host an entertainment show and keep the world leaders stationed at North Korea. However, he ultimately fails when Gary returns to the team and rescues them from Kim Jong-il's torture chamber. He orders the other actors to stop Team America from making it to the main theater which they all failed to achieve. He is then confronted by Gary and the two of them try to convince the crowd to side with one of them. However, Gary manages to win the crowd over with his speech that he recieved from a drunk guy earlier about "dicks, pussies and assholes" and manages to act better than Baldwin does. As a result of this, Baldwin loses the crowd's support, and gets booed by them. With the world leaders angry at Kim Jong-il, he tells Baldwin to do something, but he loses his sanity, talking about global warming and corporate America. Angered, Kim Jong-il wipes out a machine gun, screams, "You are worthress, Arec Barrwin!" and shoots him until his head explodes, killing him.
