Favourite Disney Villains?

[FredWolfLeonardo]

One of the most iconic parts of Disney films are their villains who often steal the show and are pretty charismatic. Who are your favourites?

I have a rough list of my favourites, which are as follows:

1. Shere Khan from the Jungle Book (1967). My absolute favourite for being extremely powerful but also classy and polite at the same time. Even though he doesn't appear until 2/3rds of the film is done, his presence is built up so much by the other characters and that creates alot of suspense around him.

2. Zira from The Lion King 2. Personally, I like her more than Scar. Not only is she cunning, but also downright fanatical in her devotion to him, and her original Deleted Scenes are some of the most fascinating things I have ever seen as they show a Disney villain committing suicide on purpose, something that I don't think has been done before.

3. Sabor from Tarzan. Another Big cat villain based on my favourite animal, the Leopard. Sabor may not have Shere Khan's class or Zira's ideology, but she has the most animalistic traits, acting solely on instinct. She is also pretty ruthless, and her animated scenes showcase this very well when she fights Tarzan or other gorillas.

4. Hades from Hercules. I love how he talks like a lawyer, and its pretty amusing how he goes from salesman to hothead in a matter of seconds. He also has a pretty dynamic design and cool set of powers.

5. Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame: Very powerful and threatening, along with Tony Jay's unforgettable voice.

6.Gaston: Always very memorable, and I like how he was designed as someone who infact, looks like the typical Disney prince. It really puts an interesting spin on a common cliche.
