Favorite Disney villain?

[Clinky]

Considering how many are saying Hades: He was originally supposed to be far more typical scary and evil villain... But they actually changed his design and character because of James Woods.

OT: Hard choice... There are a lot of good villains in the Disney line up. If they aren't epically evil they are at the very least entertaining but... My vote goes to Yzma. She struck me as having a good balance of evil and entertaining... Well that and she delivers some of the best lines in the movie she appears in. XD

Actually I take that back... I replace her with The Horned King from the Black Cauldron. Caused so many nightmares... Certainly the scariest villain I've seen in the Disney line up.

It has died, there is no more magic left which really saddens me....

*Sheds manly tear*

One sliver of life remains. They gave us Phineas and Ferb, the one decent cartoon to come out in a long time.

I would have to go with Scar.

While i find Jafaar a more amusing villain, i'd have to go with saying that Scar is my favorite. Beside the fact that the man killed Darth vader and put Rowan atkinson in a empty ribcage, he's classy. Though a coward....at least he's got a smooth baritone to sing in.

 

[Battleaxx90]

If Kingdom Hearts counts as Disney, then I nominate Ansem, Seeker of Darkness from the first game.

DARKNESS!

 

[Hamish Durie]

hades for being who he is and also being great in kh and secondly oogie boogie for being...oogie boogie

 

[VonKlaw]

Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective voice by Vincent FUCKING Price

This by a bloody mile. Worsened only by the fact that so many people haven't even seen the amazingness that is The Great Mouse Detective because it's so annoying to get a copy of.

Second choice would have to be Prince John from Robin Hood (if it counts). So stupidly over the top, made the film so hillarious.

 

[piinyouri]

Judge Frollo
Ratigan
Ursula

Oh. My. Cthulhu. Rowan Atkinson was the bird? D: I never realized that before, but now that I do..........

Mind = blown.

Personally I was never a huge fan of the Lion King. It was too boring and brooding. The ridiculously stupid musical numbers didn't help the fact, it just made it more all over the place in terms of execution. You can't go from "I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KIIIING" and "HAKUNA MATATA" to watching Mufasa die and all the lionesses starve to death (because apparently simba is the only male) in a couple of minutes. In fact....is he the only male? or does the movie just enforce the notion that only the heir to the monarchy can fix the problems? Hmm...questions...

Yzma is the villain of The Emperor's New Groove right? Because if so then her and Kronk are my favorite "villains". I freaking love that movie. David Spade's only work of genius.

 

[KINGBeerZ]

Ursula, why? because she gets the best song in the whole movie. who cares about Part of Your World, Poor Unfortunate Souls is where it's really at *clicks fingers three times*

 

[EHKOS]

Walt. He has something against kids growing up with parents.

Snippy-snip.

I think it's 'broodiness' was a result of the source material... Hamlet ain't exactly happy, happy fun time. And they actually lightened the plot a bit. I admit it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but then again I admit to not having a very logical personality so generally the 'this doesn't make a whole lot of real-life sense' thing tends to pass me by. =P

And yup. Yzma and Kronk were pretty awesome together. Same with Pacha and Kuzco. It is probably one of the funniest movies they have ever put out.

Oh and Yzma is fun to act as... I just love running through the 'flea' monologue. XD

 

[blaqknoise]

Scar from The Lion King would be mine.

Dat voice <3

 

[SpAc3man]

Scar and Ursula were my favourites. Looking back I can appreciate Hades but he never really stuck in my mind. I wasn't as fond of Disney movies when Hercules came out as I was when I was younger and am now.

It has been so many years (sometime in the mid 90's) since I saw Beauty and the Beast that I cant really remember Gaston. I must watch it again.

 

[Asita]

There's a part of me that wants to say Shan Yu from Mulan. He didn't get as much screentime as a lot of the other Disney Villains, but what you saw of him tended to enforce his threatening nature. Establishing Character moment? A single line.

*Great Wall guard lights a signal fire to warn china of the Hun invasion*
Guard: "Now all of China knows you're here"
*Shan Yu breaks off a nearby chinese flag and adds it to the fire*
Shan Yu: "Perfect"

Wonderful introduction. And let's not forget a little question from later in the film. "How many men does it take to deliver a message?"

Though to be fair, while this did work for the character, you can't argue with character development, and in that I have to echo those before me with Gaston, who grew into the role of villain and Frollo who went to war with himself over his newest character flaws while being unable to recognize the worse ones in himself which then spiral out of control as he tries to either indulge or control his newest desires.

Then again, we also have David Xanatos from Gargoyles, who played every angle for the bulk of the show and never really got to a point where he wasn't a potential threat.

 

[Kaland]

I can never quite make up my mind, but it is either Scar or Ratigan. Honourable mentions to Hades and Yzma+Kronk though.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

If Kingdom Hearts counts as Disney, then I nominate Ansem, Seeker of Darkness from the first game.

I'd say Kingdom Hearts characters hang on the Final Fantasy side of town rather than the Disney side.

Spoiler: Buuuuuut (spoilers for Kingdom Hearts 3D)

I'm glad that Ansem, Seeker of Darkness returns to the franchise anyway

OT: I'm gonna have to go with the crowd on this one and say Hades too. But as for sheer dick qualities then I'd say either Clayton or Gaston.

And if The Nightmare Before Christmas counts as Disney than I'd also say Lock, Shock and Barrel simply because of this little musical cue.


[sub][sub]But if what Battleaxx also counts than screw Hades and replace him with Vanitas[/sub][/sub]

 

[zefiris]

Scar, Djaffar, and Dr. Facilier. Those were pretty fun

and all the lionesses starve to death (because apparently simba is the only male)

That was stupid, since actually, lionesses are those who hunt, not the male lions. But disney reality is often stupid, yeah.

Didn't remember that, glad I didn't watch the movie in years.

 

[Yopaz]

So yeah Disney movies always seem to have memorable villains, but who's your favorite? Jafar is deffo my fave. He's such a dick!

Also, I watched a bit of Disney Channel the other day. All I saw were teenagers singing and telling lame jokes. Where was the 'Disney?'

Praise yourself lucky that's all you have to endure when you watch Disney Channel. When I accidentally stumble over Disney Channel I have to deal with that and terrible dubbing. It's not the worst dubbing I've ever seen (I've seen some where one man does all the voices), but it's certainly crappy. I used to love Disney, but now they have abandoned the good stuff to show us bratty kids. They aren't fun and they make terrible role models showing us that being brats is what the cool kids do.

OT: I think I would have to go with either Jafar or Hades. Hades is hilarious, but he doesn't exactly make the best villain. He does however bring entertainment to a movie I enjoyed and the show which I also enjoyed. Jafar is a better villain, but not as fun. He is devious and pure evil. Lots of villains fail their quests because they simply wont kill the hero. Jafar could probably have done better by simply slitting throats, but then that would be easier to discover. When he threw Aladdin in a pool only luck saved him. He understood that setting traps weren't enough, he took an active part. That makes him both a good villain and it makes him one of my two favourite Disney villains.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Jaffar from Aladdin. Not sure why I guess I like the way he scheme his plan.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

So many choice...Scar, Jafar, Chernabog, Hades...

Yeah I'm gonna go with Hades.
