It´s been way too long since we´ve had any traditional GREAT villains. When will Disney go back to them?
And, let´s say Disney think they don´t want to go back to them since it´s "outdated". Disney can always go back to great characters that turn into villains. They have done that before: Clayton, Commander Rourke and even Kron are examples of this.
...sure, Clayton just by voice you could tell, but still he wore the same colors as Jane and her father so he wasn´t in your face.
But the lame "twist" villains don´t work. Especially because they´re not developed at all.
1. King Candy is the only one that worked because as him he was developed throughout the movie, he was always trying to forbid Vanellope to race and even when it´s shown that he was Turbo made sense and even the story of Turbo in the Arcade was something that was talked about every now and then in the movie to the point where it was even shown.
2. Hans was supposed to be a typical Prince trough and through. And I DESPISE him specifically because the movie lied to the viewers. When he first met Anna and she leaves and he´s under the boat he makes a happy/in love face. He was alone and nobody could see him. So it´s not like he had to fake. They wanted for him to be the villain all along? Fine. Then just don´t show him after Anna leaves. It wasn´t a twist to the viewers. It was a lie.
3. Callaghan; the same as Hans. Always shown to be a great teacher just to make the reveal that he was always a villain.
4. Bellwether is just a point below Hans because she was barely in the movie.
So as you can see classic Disney villains are missed and even if they don´t want to go that route they can do what they did in Tarzan, Atlantis and Dinosaur.

And people hate the character with a passion, too, where most of these others inspire no reaction from people at all either in the film themselves or outside them.
