Best Villain Animator FINAL ROUND

Post by lord-of-sith »

This is the final round! For the final round you have three choices:

Marc Davis
Maleficent
Cruella DeVil

Andread Deja
Vanessa (The Little Mermaid)
Gaston
Jafar
Scar

Frank Thomas
Lady Tremaine
The Queen of Hearts
Captain Hook
Kaa

My vote goes to Marc Davis. The other two may be fantastic (and they really are) but Davis has (in my mind) two of the greatest villains in movie (let alone Disney) history.

I had to go with Marc Davis as well. The other also had amazing villians, however, Maleficent and Cruella DeVil, are two of the greatest, if not the greatest Disney villians of all time.

I am also going with Marc Davis, but it was a very difficult choice between Davis and Deja.

Andreas Deja! His villains are the most complex villains in terms of characters and animation in Disney history and they're also some of the best in cinema history.

The other two guys are great too, but they can't compete with Deja.

EDIT: I just copied how lord-of-sith spelled it, and realized it was spelled wrong. It's Andreas not Andread. :wink:

Although I consider Malificent the top villian, I went with Deja for the quantity of great villians. It's all tied up. This one is going down to the wire.
...and so you two are absolutely identical? You know I'm sure I can get you a part in Toy Story 3... I'm sorry. Are we back? All right girls...lovely talking to you.

Disney Duster's Final Villain Animator Vote!

Post by Disney Duster »

Well, if you're really going to pick the best villain animator, why not pick the animator of the best villain? So Marc Davis also gets my vote for Maleficent...even though I think Andreas Deja is amazing for Jafar, Scar, and Gaston. But remember, Andreas Deja mentioned on the Aladdin DVD that he used Maleficent as inspiration for Jafar!

Poor Frank Thomas...

I'm sorry but the animator who concots Maleficent is the winner any day. So, Marc Davis it is, I suppose.

As much as I love Maleficent, I also love Andreas Deja's work as well, so I voted for him.

I voted for Andread Deja because those were some of the best villians and I just love Gaston. It was a very hard choice though because Cruella DeVil is one of my favorite villians as is The Queen of Hearts and Captain Hook.

Since I personally knew Frank & understood how he loved animating his villains, my vote is for Frank. Andreas & Marc are great villain animators too, but I believe Frank had a lot more experience with villains.

We'll miss you, Frank. :(

I voted for Andreas Deja. He is the best animator of my time (besides Glen Keane) and I really like his work. Don't get me wrong, Marc and Frank drew fantastically well, but Andreas has a quality in his work that is diffrent and unique from Marc's and Frank's. I can't really say what I mean, but I can feel it. (Jafar and Scar have the same smiles. That's how I knew that Andreas animated both of them)

Maleficent is a GREAT character, and Marc did a GREAT job animating her. He did a fantastic job on Cruella, too. Frank was wonderful at animating the Queen of Hearts and Captain Hook, his work is superb! I just had to pick one, and all my reasons are in the first paragraph.
