Oogie
Boogie- Honorable Mention (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
Since he isn’t technically from a Walt Disney
animated studios film, he didn’t make the list. But I thought he was worth an
honorable mention. Oogie Boogie is from one of my all-time favorite movies,
with that said he is kind of a goofball villain. He’s just a sinister bag of
bugs, and really has no motivation, he’s just there to do evil stuff to
whatever Lock, Shock, and Barrel throw at him. But he did try to kill Santa
Claus himself!
32.
Captain Gantu (Lilo and Stitch)
To start the list, we go into
outer space. As big and scary as Gantu looks. He’s not much of a villain. He’s
mostly just doing his job. He gets a little obsessed with the little blue guy,
and ends up kidnapping Lilo as well. But Stitch saves the day, and Gantu ends
up getting himself exiled to Earth for his incompetence. If you’ve seen the TV show, he ends up being their
main antagonist, so he does get pushed into being a bigger villain.
31. Madame Medusa (The Rescuers)
Coming in second to last is Madame
Medusa. Originally, I was going to leave her off the list, but I just watched “The
Rescuers” the other night, and she is worthy of making the list. Let’s see she
kidnaps the cutest kid you can think of and shoves her down a small hole that
fills with water regularly. All to get her grimy hands on some Jewel. She could
care less about the child, or even her own chubby partner. Some say she’s a rip
off of Cruella de Vil but I don’t see how, other than she’s an enraged middle
aged psycho of a woman. Also, she has two huge crocodiles as pets, and that’s
pretty scary.
30.
Prince John (Robin Hood)
As far as being scary and
intelligent, Prince John doesn’t take the cake. But as far as being villainous
he does quite well. The evil little momma’s boy had his brother and true king
hypnotized by his snake sidekick Sir Hiss, and sent him away. All the while he
taxed the crap out of the village animals all over the land. They show just how
far he’s willing to go when he sends his Sheriff pal to take from the church, children
and the disabled. He also, will have Robin Hood killed in front of Maid Marian
if he had his way. Luckily, he’s sent to jail when all is said and done.
29.
Bill Sykes (Oliver and Company)
Probably an over looked villain in
all the Disney movies out there, is Bill Sykes. He may be your typical shady
business man (or loan Shark) in the start of the film. But he strikes true fear
in to the heart of Fagin and his pets. He also has his two intimidating dog bodyguards
Roscoe and DeSoto, the Doberman pinschers, who put the beating on the Dodger
and his pals. A dark Disney moment is when both die on the train tracks, being
electrocuted to death after a scrap with Dodger and Oliver. Sykes not only
threatens Fagin’s life, but he also kidnaps jenny, Oliver’s new lovable little
girl owner. And goes to great lengths including putting his own life in danger
to kill Fagin and his friends, which ultimately leads to his demise.
28. Turbo AKA King Candy (Wreck-it-Ralph)
Now here we have a villain who
comes with a twist. The first time I watched it, I actually had no clue and
took me by surprise but after re-watching there were some signs. King Candy secretly
being Turbo, and controlling the game of the “sweet” little candy racers was
pretty brilliant on his part. The deranged racer was almost wiped out when his
game he conquered was unplugged, and so he snuck into Sugar Rush and disguised
himself as King Candy. He tried to have Vanellope’s code deleted, to keep her
out of the game and let himself continue to conquer it. But luckily with Ralph’s
help, they manage to make him reveal himself which leads to his end when he
goes a little crazy and the Cy-bugs take over Sugar Rush.
27. Edgar Balthazar (The Aristocats)
Not such and intimidating villain
but a villain all the same. Edgar is as slimy as they come, first he steals poor
Madame Bonfamille's beloved cats who are her only family, and then tries to
dump them in the country side or possibly kill them because he over hears that
she’s leaving her fortunes to the cats and not him. But luckily the two
countryside dogs put a stop to him, just because well they don’t like him. But Duchess
and her kittens get dumped still and have to find their way home, and once they
do, he still tries to ship them to Timbuctoo, (THEY ARE CUTE LITTLE KITTENS
DUDE!) but luckily with the alley cat’s help, they end up sending him there
instead and all ends well, except well for him.
26.
Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland)
Even
though she may be among one of the more popular Disney villains, the Queen of
hearts is mostly just an angry old crazy woman. Sure, she has the entire
kingdom under her thumb, including the king. But she’s only a small portion of
the entire movie. Alice bests her and manages to escape. The Queen needs some
anger management classes.
25.
Rattigan (The Great Mouse Detective)
Rattigan is a pretty good villain overall. He has a wonderful yet odd
plan to become the new ruler, and he kidnaps a mouse toy maker to enact his
plan. He’s kind of a diva at times, despite his in denial about being a rat.
But when push comes to shove he shows his true rat ways and puts the beatdown
on basil. His weird little bat henchman always creeped me out as a kid. Plus,
we can’t forget he’s a rat with a cat as a pet.
24.
Yzma (The Emperor’s New Groove)
Yzma is one of the funnier
villains on the list. Her and Kronk easily have some of the funniest moments in
the movie. Her first mistake is trusting Kronk with anything though, her plan
would actually have been a good one. If not for turning Kuzco into a lama
instead of killing him. She’s a nasty old woman, but once she goes full kitty
at the end, she loses some of her villainous ways, and that puts her down the
list.
23. Assistant Mayor Bellwether (Zootopia)
We are at a point now where movies
all the way in 2016 are making these lists. And although you may be thinking
how did this little sheep make it this far up the list. Well let’s see, for one
she is a great liar, this twist took everyone by surprise I do believe. She was
going to use this poisonous flower to turn many of the predator’s savage and completely ruin their reputation. All
for her own political gain. You have to have some sympathy for her when the
mayor treated her like crap, it’s no wonder she hated predators. She doesn’t make
it farther on the list due to all the political prowess it takes her to try and
gain power, rather by magic or strength, but for being a little sheep it’s
pretty impressive.
22. Hans (Frozen)
The last movie on this list I
finally have seen, it took me long enough. But I can now put Hans at number 22
confidently. He does a really good job of making you believe he is that stereotypical
prince from the start that any woman would love. But think about the true disgusting
person he really is to not just lie to someone but to be able to lie about
being in love with Anna, and then leave her for dead like he did is truly
horrendous. Then he tries to murder Elsa as well, and take their kingdom, a
punch to the face from Anna is not enough for this guy. She surely should have
frozen him solid for eternity.
21. Yokai (Robert Callaghan) (Big Hero 6)
This is Disney’s first shot at a
Marvel movie turned animated under their belt. The villain is pretty good, just
not great. He does however have justifying reasons for his actions, to try and
save his daughter. But to steal Hiro’s tech, he sets the university he works at
on fire, and Hiro’s brother goes in after Robert Callaghan and ends up paying
the price thanks to this fool. He then terrorizes anyone who gets in his way,
including Hiro, Baymax and all their friends. His mask and micro bot’s tech is
pretty sweet, but he’s defeated a little too easily in the end in my opinion. Hopefully
the sequel will see an eviler and stronger villain.
20. Commander Rourke (Atlantis: The Lost Empire)
I don’t usually see this guy on
many lists of villains, but don’t count him out completely. Let’s not forget he
did lie to Milo, not just a lie, but he had Milo lead him to a secret society
to the world that only Milo knew how to get to through the book. Then once they
got there, he turned his lovable crew into gun wielding soldiers. He was ready
to completely wipe out all the Atlanteans by stealing their power source. Just
for his own greed. He even ends up turning on his trusted right hand woman, and
murdering her by kicking her off the hot air balloon. Commander Rourke is kind
of a crazy one.
19.
Sherkhan (The Jungle Book)
I could catch flack for not
putting him higher up on the list, but let’s be honest, he’s a tiger out to eat
a boy who could barely kill a fly. But he doesn’t even get close to doing so.
As polite as he is, you have to feel bad for him for the fact man killed his
whole family. So, his vengeance is for a reason, but Kaa comes closer to
getting Mowgli than he does. If we were talking about the live action Sherkhan
he’d be much higher. All the same he is
a ruthless man eater, who is still among the best villains Disney has made.
18.
Chernabog (Fantasia)
Chernabog is the stuff nightmares
are made of. If you’ve seen fantasia as a child, you probably were slightly
chilled when “Night on Bald Mountain” came on, I sure was. If Chernabog was a
villain in a full-length movie, he’d surely be the scariest one. But for only
being a part of a small short, and summoning demons and whatnot in that time,
he still earns his place among the others. He’s basically Satan after all.
17. Mother Gothel (Tangled)
Mother Gothel might not be a very intimidating
villain at first glance. But think about how sadistic she really is. She stole
two people’s baby and lied to said baby about being her mother growing up and
loving her. But all Rapunzel ever was to her was a head full of magical hair to
keep her youth. She locks her in a tower for 18 years! And makes her fear the
outside world. Once Rapunzel figures this out, Mother Gothel has no problem
locking her away just to use her for her hair. After all that time raising her,
this bitch still has no love for Rapunzel what so ever. She also tried to
murder Rapunzel’s only friend and love she’s ever had in Flynn Rider, by stabbing
him in front of her. Watching the little gecko trip her out the window, and
seeing her turn into a bag of dust is great.
16. Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog)
I actually think Dr. Facilier is a
pretty great villain. The voodoo man with a plan, sending those freaky shadow demon
things after the frogs is awesome. He also, has no problem having that little
weird fat dude deceive Tiana’s princess friend into marrying him for her
riches. He would also kill her father if his plan would’ve worked. And he
killed Raymond the lovable firefly! Dr. Facilier is the best part of the movie
honestly. Making deals, and changing the plans after the fact has a very Ursula
vibe to it, they’d probably get along well.
15. John
Silver (Treasure Planet)
John Silver the cyborg is in the
middle part of the countdown for good reason. By the end of the film he’s not
even really a full-fledged villain. He gives up his treasure dream to save Jim,
who originally, he thought was expendable to him. One of the reasons I love him
though, is he isn’t so black and white. He isn’t just evil because, and he does
actually care about Jim. Some might argue that should put him lower here, but I
believe for being different and something new he deserves this spot. Plus, we can’t
forget he has a ruthless rag tag group of pirates following him, and he has
morph as a sidekick, who’s well just awesome.
14. Lady Tremaine (Cinderella)
Before Mother Gothel was psychologically
torturing Rapunzel, Lady Tremaine and her nasty daughters were doing it to
Cinderella. She might not have powers or sorcery at her disposal, but Lady
Tremaine is a wicked step mother, she’s been giving step mothers a bad rep ever
since. Think about how messed up one has to be to torture someone like
Cinderella like she does.
13.
Captain Hook (Peter Pan)
Captain
Hook actually has a valid reason for wanting to kill Peter Pan. The little brat
cut off his hand and fed it to a crocodile. Captain Hook is known for being one
of the first Disney villains who brought a sense of humor to a villain
character which is what makes him so interesting. Whether or not that was
planned by the creators, it worked out. A swash buckling pirate trying kill a
bunch of little kids though, is pretty villainous if I don’t say so myself.
12. Governor John Ratcliffe (Pocahontas)
Here we have a somewhat
historically accurate figure. I’m not sure anyone considers Governor John
Ratcliffe a great villain, or one of their favorites. But he is pretty
despicable all the same. The man wanted to kill all the Indians if necessary,
just for some gold to make himself rich. He didn’t care about his men’s well
beings and certainly not invading the Indians land. He also leads the bone
chilling song “Savages”, even though in the end he was betrayed by his own men
and rightfully so since he accidentally shoots John Smith when he was aiming
for the chief. The saddest part is men like him were the victorious ones in the
real stories.
11. Clayton (Tarzan)
Clayton is one of those villains
you just hate with a passion and here’s why; there are way too many real
Claytons in real life. He is nothing but a poacher and a man with a gun who
thinks he’s something special. He tricks poor Jane, her dad, and even Tarzan
himself into leading him to the Gorillas nesting grounds. (Although they are a
poor judge of character, since it’s kind of obvious he’s shady as hell) He then
locks all of them up in the ship and goes on a poaching spree with his fellow
men. They then unmercifully toss gorillas in cages and nets. He even ends up
killing Kerchak in a tear inducing moment in front of Tarzan. But at least he
gets his dues in the end, he kills himself in one of Disney’s darker moments,
by unintentionally hanging himself from a vine.
10. Shan Yu (Mulan)
Here we have another somewhat of
an historically accurate villain, which is what makes Shan Yu terrifying along
with his fellow Huns. He might not say much but his actions speak louder than
words. The scene of him saying “besides, the little girl will be missing her
doll, we should return it to her” always gave me chills. Then you later see
they destroyed an entire city, possibly killing thousands, including whatever
poor little girl that was. They also, take over the Emperor’s palace and almost
kill him if not for Mulan. We also can’t forget he has a badass pet falcon as a
pet.
9.
Hades (Hercules)
Hades is personally one of my
favorite villains on the list. With that said though he only makes it number
nine because despite his sarcastic personality and hot temper that make him
great he doesn’t get too far in “Hercules”. Here you have a god of he under
world, and yet he sends Pain and Panic, the two most incompetent henchmen there
is to kill Hercules, which they don’t succeed in even turning him completely
human first. However, this was Hades plan, to turn Zeus’s poor son into a
human to kill him, which is messed up in itself. Then he sends every monster
after Hercules once he finds out he’s still alive. He also, unleashes the
locked away Titans on Mount Olympus to try and take over. His track record
speaks for itself. But let’s not forget the worst thing he does is use Meg’s
soul against her to trick Hercules into loving her, which ultimately gets her
killed until Hercules can save her soul.
8. Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
Here is one sea witch we can
really get behind as a villain. I mean what kind of twisted monster would want
to hurt poor little Ariel and her little fish friend Flounder? She uses Ariel’s
biggest dream against her by stealing her voice to make her human in a twisted
deal, and let’s not forget she turns people into those poor unfortunate souls
once they can’t “fulfill” the deal, usually because she makes it so. She’s as
wicked as they come with her eel sidekicks, who will forever make me look at
eels as creepy.
7. Jafar (Aladdin)
Jafar and his annoying parrot
sidekick make it this far for their cunning lying ways. He not only tries to
force Jasmine to marry him so he can kill her once he takes over Agrabah but he also essentially
kills all of Aladdin’s friends before it gets undone. He turns Carpet into yarn,
Abu into a toy, and almost drowns Jasmine in a giant hourglass. Jafar is as
much of a snake as they come.
6. Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)
Once you read that name, you
instantly want to start singing “No one hits like Gaston, matches wits like
Gaston!” and well you get the gist. But this guy’s ego and arrogance make him a
higher up on the Disney villain list. He not only truly believes Bell will fall
in love with him no matter how selfish and jerky he acts, but he goes to great
lengths to force her to be with him. The man plans to have her father sent to
an insane asylum if she doesn’t marry him! He also leads and angry mob to the
Beast’s castle (who he’s never even met) and almost successfully kills the
Beast. For a man with a small brain, big muscles, and no magical powers, he
certainly earns this place on the list as a memorable maniacal Disney villain.
5.
The Evil Queen (Snow White and the Seven
Dwarves)
The Evil Queen is the original
Disney villain, coming in at number five, she has been around since the start
of it all. The ONLY reason she wants to kill Snow White so bad is simply
because she wants to be the fairest of them all. I mean that’s it, she turns
psycho killer just for that. She sends a hunter after Snow White, who by the
way is super innocent and hasn’t done shit to the queen besides sing to birds
and bunnies. But when that doesn’t work, the queen turns herself into that
creepy old lady, she use to give me the creeps as a kid. Then poisons poor
little Snow White with the famous red apple. But all in all she tumbles off a
cliff at the end, so she takes herself out basically.
4.
Cruella de Vil (101 Dalmations)
Although she has no super powers,
let’s be honest, Cruella de Vil is as evil as they come. She wants to not only
kill the Dalmatians, but she wants their skin! I mean have we ever really
thought about how psychotic she is, that she wants to skin a bunch of adorable
puppies. She’s a villain to the core.
3. Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Coming in at number three from an
under rated Disney movie is the city of Paris’s Minister of Justice Claude Frollo.
This movie was never really understood as a kid, but when you watch it as an
adult you realize how messed up this guy really is. He sings and entire song
called Hellfire, all about how the gypsy Esmeralda gets his juices flowing and
he can’t help it. To stop this, he must kill all the gypsies, and he will burn
down all of Paris to find every last one of them! Let’s not forget he killed Quasimodo’s
mother, and then almost killed Quasimodo himself as an infant, but instead
locked him away in a bell tower all of his life and told him he was too hideous
for the public to see…yeah Frollo definitely belongs in the top five.
2.
Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)
Maleficent will always be known as
one of the greatest villains of all-time, and with good reason I mean she is “the
mistress of all evil”. Many villains on this list were evil for reasons of
wanting power, riches, and revenge. Maleficent? Well she was just pissed she
wasn’t invited to the party. I guess it was sort of revenge. But she deserves
this spot all the same, I mean she can turn into a dragon and she put a young
girl into a coma essentially. She’s
surrounded by demons and has a pet crow named Diablo. She’s simply evil just because
she’s evil, and that in itself is quite scary.
1. Scar (The Lion King)
Coming in at number one had to be none other
than Scar. This may seem bias because The Lion King is one of my favorite
movies of all-time, but let’s look at Scar’s villain track record, shall we? He
not only killed his brother Mufasa himself, but he convinced his nephew Simba
that it was his fault. Then in turn let loose his hyena henchmen on Simba to
kill him as well. Not many villains on this list actually kill anyone but Scar
manages to make his plan work all the way to taking over the animal kingdom
with his hyena army and making his sister in law and the other lionesses his
hunting slaves. He even turns on his own hyenas when push comes to shove. Scar
truly is the evilest of them all, and let us not forget he has also has the
best villain musical number in BE PREPARED!
Agree or disagree with the list? Who's your favorite villain?
