7. Jafar (Aladdin)
6. Ursula (The Little Mermaid)

Who are your ten favourite Disney villains? They don't need to be on the list, they just have to be Disney characters and evil.

I've noticed that my favourite Disney movies are usually the ones with the best villains. For example, "The Lion King" is my favourite, but I've never been a fan of "Cinderella" (where I find the Stepmother boring.) As someone who usually plays villains (and always roots for them), I think that the bad guys really make the movie good or bad! What say you?

[Kiren Brockett]

10. Captain Hook
9. Ursula
8. Radcliffe
7. Eain (National Treasure)
6. Frollo
5. Hades
4. Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company
3. Ex-Captain Hector Barbossa
2. Davy Jones
1. Meeeeee. (I am SO a Disney villain.)

[Schmergo]

Dude-- National Treasure is a Disney movie? I didn't know that! Eain's great.

And I still don't see how Barbossa counts as a villain... although Davy Jones is unquestionably a bad dude.

[Zaldax]

As I don't believe in Disney movies, i will give you my ist of the top 10 FICTIONAL villians of all time...

10.
9.
8.
7.
6.
5.
4. Emporer Palpitine (Star Wars)
3. Sauron (Lord of the Rings book series)
2.
1. Why, Me of course! (Aside from the roleplay, which is fiction, another friend of mine once wrote a story where I was the Villain...yep...)

i'm really bored, so i'll fill in the blanks later...

[Schmergo]

Oh, come on. Disney movies are great, and the villains absolutely make them. You can't dislike "The Lion King" or "Hunchback of Notre Dame" (which in my opinion should be rated PG) or "The Emperor's New Groove." (I personally don't really like some of the older 'princess' movies like Snow White or Cinderella.) But yeah, Palpatine is a great villain, one of my personal favourites.

[Zaldax]

I do like the Emporer's new groove, but i'm not the biggest Disney fan....

[mousemaylikecheese]

So as to vanquish this foul wow gold (as in, remove it from the top post (I've been trying to memorize Antony's "Friends, Romans, countrymen..." speech)) I'm posting!

I haven't seen many of these, or haven't seen them in ages, but I have a couple comments:

I love to hate Cutler Beckett.

Ian in National Treasure feels really, really weird to me. I feel like he should start saying "One does not simply walk into Mordor. There is evil there that does not sleep" and trying to cross Caradhras or defending hobbits.

I know! I love Barbossa as a protagonist in the third movie, even though he's a bit crusty. (I once had a banner with him, Dumbledore, Jack, Voldemort, and Malfoy with, respectively, apples, lemon drops, peanuts, ham sandwiches, and plumcake)

Oh, and not a villain at all, but I love the guy who played Davy Jones(even if I don't remember his name) as Slartibartifast.

[Schmergo]

OH GOOD GRACIOUS, YES! I love Bill Nighy as Davy Jones and Slartibartfast, even though every time I say his name, I feel like saying, "Bill Nighy the Science Guy-y."

he was also in Shuan of the dead and Hot fuzz

Anyway, my top ten Disney villains:

10. Governor Ratcliffe
9. Captain Hook
8. Ursula
7. Shan-Yu
6. Maleficent
5. Yzma
4. Jafar
3. Hades
2. Gaston
1. Scar and Frollo--I couldn't choose between them!

Hunchback is officially my new favorite Disney movie since I watched it Tuesday and I definitely agree with Schmergo that it should be PG. No wonder I thought it was disturbing when I first saw it. (3 years old.)

[E. R. O'Donnegale]

Hades has to be my favorite...(Of course, my OC for Percy Jackson is Hades' daugher, so I'm a little biased).

[Broker of Darkness]

The Horned King should be higher up there...though the movie totally ruined the book....
Scar is by far number one I mean its Hamlet for petes sake...

Agreed. Lloyd Alexander ftw.

I remember watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, but then (oddly enough) I had a great deal of fondness for Mr. Nye from the Felicity series of American Girl books, once upon a time.

Also, Hades caught my eye since I was just re-reading the Eyre Affair (I warn you for language)
