Once again, wrong. The Emperor/Darth Sidious is the best Disney villain. I understand why he did not win though, he's an alien and this video is racist
I find Moviebob's insights especially interesting in the case of Judge Frollo. His motivations are different from the vast majority of his peers in the House of Mouse. Frollo doesn't want power; he already has power. He's also not being bad for the sake of it because he thinks he's the good guy. Frollo's twisted moral compass is what makes him such a compelling villain to me. And his position on the gypsies in the movie isn't completely indefensible. The Court of Miracles (a large gypsy community) counts among its members thieves, murderers, smugglers, and fraudulent beggars. In a different movie, Clopin (the gypsy ringleader) could easily have been a villain in his own right.RTR said:Just this morning, by pure coincidence, I was thinking about how Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, of all the villains in major Disney movies, is probably the most unlikeably creepy villain. To use part of a discussion started by Moviebob on Twitter, most Disney villains may be evil, but their goals are usually either aquiring power (political or otherwise) or being bad just for being bad (Maleficent). In BatB, Gaston's motivation is to have Belle all to himself. Because it's Disney, it's never made to be anything more explicit other than Gaston having Belle as basically a trophy. However, the creepy subtext is still undeniable.
This may not make him the best villain, but it sure makes him the most despicable.
