Favorite Disney villain?

[SaberXIII]

Scar. Now there was a guy who did not fuck about, he saw his oppertunity to kill Mufasa and was like 'right, time to throw someone into traffic'.

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.

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

Mind = blown.
. David Spade's only work of genius.

And Scar is played by Jeremy-Havelock-vetinari-Irons, and Whoppi goldberg is a jackal.*pause* in the movie....

jafar by a long way. Shadowman follows with a strong second, and then i guess hades. The Hun leader from Mulan is pretty badass but there isn't much of him he's just kinda there.

Favourite Disney villain? Well that has to be Walt Disney himself.

 

[CrashBang]

Hades, without doubt.
James Woods just makes that film so much better than it already is as Hades.

Hercules is my favourite animated Disney film and James Woods is a big reason why. The other is the music.

My favourite Disney villain, though, is Davy Jones from PotC 2 & 3. Bill Nighy is astounding in that role and he's a very well-rounded villain. He has a brilliant voice, he's comical in places, his look tells you a lot about him immediately. There's quite a bit of depth to him, uncovered as the films progress, as well.

Frollo. That song... So stronk...

 

[BrassButtons]

Uhh... I'll go out on a limb here and say Flemith (Or however you spell that) from Tangled.

Which character is that? Name does not sound familiar at all, and Googling just gives me Dragon Age stuff.

OT: You know, for a long time my answer would have been Scar, but I think I have to bump him down a tiiiiiiny bit and say that Mother Gothel from Tangled is my favorite. While Scar is an absolute badass, Gothel actually frightens me. The way she emotionally abuses Rapunzel and then manipulates her into sticking around is something real abusive parents do. The concept of a kid loving an abusive parent, and not wanting to leave the abuse because they think that it's being done to "protect" them, and that leaving would hurt the parent ("I am a horrible daughter") is all taken straight from real life. Mother Gothel exists.

I'd have to say my favourite villain that I can remember, would be Scar. Considering I haven't watched many disney films lately, he really is one that I remember the most fondly. Honourable mention does have to go to Stinky Pete the Prospector, voiced by Kelsey Grammar, who is also my favourite Simpsons villain.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

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.

Shan Yu always scared me, the dude was so evil

I'm going to say this now, because I'm sure some of you were thinking it, but I did not know that Captain/Admiral Anderson could sing. I've already left a response so look at that if you must.

 

[Xiroh86]

so for me it's ether Ratigan or Percival C. McLeach.

Ratigan my easy answer. I mean hell, it's fucking Vincent Price voicing an power hungry, egocentric, med genius rat! That just screams best villian.

McLeach is a tougher sell. first many people don't know what movie he's from (i'm not going to list it just to see if anyone knows) but he fucking kidnaps and attempts to kill a HUMAN KID just for the sake of money! He's a ruthless money hungry bastard! Not the brightest of the villians, but one of the most determined!

 

[General Twinkletoes]

He used to scare the ever loving shit out of me when I was younger D:


OT: Either that thing, or hades. Hades was kick ass.

 

[mrhappy1489]

Doesn't this remind you of that simpsons episode were they go to the Super Bowl and vincent price shows up at the end. No, that's just me, well I thought it was funny.

 

[Dragonclaw]

Hard to decide between my top 5...

Yzma...that flea monologue is brilliant!
Jaffar
Scar
Hades
Judge Frollo

Funny that with sooooo many great movies under their belt, the dominant villains that seem to be the most memorable in this thread are all coming from about a 6 year spread...

 

[Eamar]

Jafar all the way. I just find him hilarious- he's so slick and capable (unlike every other character, they're all just bumbling along), yet he's constantly frustrated through bad luck. Plus, he pretty much is the evil vizier trope made amusing.
