As much as I enjoy discussions about Disney Villains, let's try and remember to search for older threads and bump them up instead of starting a new one.

Scaps

This may be merged, but:

1. Cruella De Vil: I still think that Cruella is the best written, the best voiced, the best designed and the best animated of all of Disney's villains. She tears through the film as some sort of relentless force of destruction. She is entertaining, but the comedy is never at her expense, so she keeps her menace. Though human, she's the villainess most easily comparable to a skeleton, hag, harpy, vulture or vampire. An example of decadence and consumerism, she's so utterly, orgasmically evil. Satan walks the earth - and is a woman.

2. The Queen: She has the most interesting conceptual history of all Disney villains, with roots in both art and cinema. Her scenes are a testament to Joe Grant's skills - he designed both the Queen and the Witch and, together with Dick Huemer, and headed the story department on their scenes. Still one of Disney's most frightening and intense villains, she is animated beautifully - Art Babbit's Queen is appropriately aloof and sinister, while Norman Ferguson's Witch is both darkly comical and ghoulishly terrifying.

3. Shere Khan: Probably the greatest of Disney's male villains. He's so wonderfully posh, treating everyone else with utter disdain. I love every scene he's in, particularly his exchange with Kaa.

4. Lady Tremaine: A worthy successor to the Queen. Though not magical like the Fairy Godmother, she draws power from her cunning and her control over the household. This is shown visually in the scene where she follows Cinderella up to the tower, the whole house becoming darker save for her glowing eyes.

5. Stromboli: Despite his small screen time, he has become one of Disney's most infamous and iconic villains, and the main reason is Bill Tytla's animation. He's a very eccentric fellow, full of fun, and his little quirks are really what make him memorable. But he can still frighten audiences, particularly when he throws the axe into the puppet.

Ranking the villains according to the posts in this thread so far:

Maleficent: 33
Ursula: 24
The Queen: 22
The Horned King: 18
Lady Tremaine: 15
Ratigan: 13
Captain Hook: 13
Jafar: 9
Prince John: 9
Frollo: 8
Chernabog: 7
Cruella De Vil: 7
Scar: 7
Shere Kahn: 5
Coachman: 4
Shan Yu: 3
The Sherrif of Nottingham: 3
Hades: 2
Madame Mim: 2
Stromboli: 2
Yzma: 2
Foulfellow and Gideon: 1
The Headless Horseman: 1
Monstro: 1
The Queen of Hearts: 1

What's the deal lately? Are people that incapable of doing a search before starting a new thread, especially one as random as "favorite villains"? Does someone honestly think that in the almost 5 year history of UD there wouldn't be an already existing thread on this to bump? Come on people, the search engine is your friend!!

It seems the only new topics started lately are carbon copies of ones that already exist. Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining, it just gets really annoying!!

I must say I disagree with much of the list. Maleficent higher than the Queen? Jafar and Ursula ahead of Cruella? Scar significantly higher than Shere Khan? And not even a place for the Coachman, Honest John or Monstro? Evidently I'm out of touch with popular opinion...

Male Villain Syndrome

female villain Cruella De Ville

My favorite villain is The Queen. I just love her. I think her style is great and she has such an icy cold demeanor about her. A fantatic start to the family of Disney Villains.

''But to make doubly sure you do not FAIL, bring back her heart in this!''

What's everyone's favorite villains. Also list the ones you think are underrated and overrated.


Here's my list:

FAVORITES: Cruella de Vil, Ursula, Madame Medusa, Hades, The Horned King & Yzma

UNDERRATED: Madma Medusa, The Horned King, Hades, Lady Tremaine, Chernabog, Madam Mim, & Frollo

OVERRATED: Queen/Old Hag & Gaston

Favorites: Queen Grimhilde, Chernaborg (not sure if he's a villain), Captain Hook, Maleficent, Ursula, Frollo, Jafar, the Firebird (see Chernaborg).

Underrated: Shan Yu, Clayton, Monstro, the Firebird.

Overrated: Shere Khan, The Queen of Hearts (don't kill me Disneykid), McLeach, Gaston, Scar.

Just a suggestion, could we add Worst to the list?

Who is your favorite Disney villain?

albert

Favorites: Maleficent, Hades, Jafar, Cruella De Vil, Captain Hook, Ursula, Frollo

Under-rated: The Horned King, Ratigan, Sykes (These guys are so underrated, it's not even funny. )

Overrated: Scar (As much as I like him, he became a little less interesting when he got what he wanted)

Favourites- Scar, Queen Of Hearts, Gaston, Edgar (Aristocats), Madame Mim, Cruella.

Underrated- Edgar, Madame Mim, Bill Sikes, Shan Yu.

Overrated- Malificent, Frollo.

Favorites: Jafar, Scar, Cruella De Vil, Captain Hook, and Gaston

Underrated: The Horned King. It's a shame really. He can chill me more than The Queen or Maleficent ever could.

Overrated: Maleficent. She is a good villain, but she's more style than substance. Despite a couple of great scenes such as her dissing Prince Phillip in the dungeon and transforming into a dragon, her motives don't hold much water. Not being invited to the celebrations can't be the only reason why she cursed Aurora. I think she always did hate King Stefan and his kingdom, and what could hurt them more than cursing their new-born princess? She's a great villainess, but people blow her up too much.
