[@Sorcerer-SMC]

Well not entirely, but yes. I mean outside of the movies. Many Disney Television Animation shows such as Amphibia, The Owl House, and even The Ghost and Molly McGee; have held onto the heroes and villains trope. Because they gave us some truly evil villains. And while WDAS has unfortunately been playing safe out of the fear from parents complain about scared kids, they are making bold moves with other studios. I mean Infinity Ultron from Marvel’s What If is DEFINITELY one of Marvel and Disney’s darkest and boldest moves in their recent track record. And while Star Wars has of course been a roller coaster of ups and downs with the ever-infamous Fandom Menace, they still make some bold and dark moves themselves. So while Walt Disney Animation Studios is thankfully bringing back evil villains with Moana 2 coming soon, they really need to start taking risks again.

[@dragonsman4733]

Part of that is due to their politics. They are scared to make female characters proper villains that aren't redeemed, or risk backlash from activists, thus you have things like Encanto, turning red, inside out two, Obiwan, etc. the same with the remakes with female villains being done to look like they are justified, like Maleficent, etc. its part of the reason why Andor received such a positive reaction compared to activists, because it had female villains who stayed villains. And that was only due to Kathleen Kennedy being kept away from it. The whole situation is rather sexist in itself, as they keep the male villains the same, like in wish where there was supposed to be an evil couple, the queen got turned into a victim from the 'evil narcissistic king'

[@Sorcerer-SMC]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@dragonsman4733 That is a good explanation, but TBF Encanto and Inside Out 2 weren’t bad movies at all, if anything they were some of the few good things to come out of Disney in the 2020s. And while I do have mixed feelings about Turning Red, I do feel like that film is overhated by the public. I think the last two times Disney made a female a villain unredeeemable aside from Andor were Dawn Bellwether in Zootopia and The Screenslaver in Incredibles 2, both of which were handled poorly admittedly, but unlike Incredibles 2, I still enjoyed Zootopia for what it was. And finally, for Wish, while I do feel like the “evil power couple” concept should have stayed, at the same time Magnifico was still pretty evil. He prepulated his kingdom solely on wishes, the idea, and concept of wishes, and drew in those desperate on wishes like sheep. Magnifico may be a flawed villain and could have been written better, but he’s still pretty twisted and evil. He’s, for lack of a better term, a man who lost his way in his pursuit. The pathway to Hell is paved with good intentions. He controls wishes so that nothing is out of control like when he was younger, and he’s a cult leader with only some sympathetic perspective that got thrown out of the window halfway through the movie. He’s not “the true hero” or “a victim” as many claim, he’s still a villain. A control freak of a king who finally showed his true colors.

[@XarisCoffeen]

All of the issues with modern Disney are summarized in killer verse with amazing vocals!! Absolutely splendid. One of my favorite parts was when they said "You teach them evil's awful, and you teach them to prevail." That is the whole point of writing evil characters: to teach about good. It's the same problem with the new Avatar remake removing Sokka's sexism because it was bad. That's the point; he learned his worldview was flawed and was humble enough to reform his ways. A character's flaws and the triumph over those flaws or the good characters triumphing over the evil characters are the whole point. Good cannot be taught without showing evil.

[@Muffinschaos]

Yeah the whole point of avatar’s sexism plot is to teach little boys not to be sexist and to teach little girls that they should fight for themselves, to be brave against what others say. It’s proven to be wrong so kids won’t be sexist. The whole point of the remake was to not be sexist, but the original’s point is to make sure people actively don’t fall into it. I can say the same for the ableism Toph faces, parents watching would realise how their actions could affect their child so they believe in and support their disabled children now. That’s the kind of thing this show teaches by showing the bad. Disney should be doing the exact same thing avatar did, make bad people so you can show the children who *not* to be. It works perfectly in Mulan, I think wish could’ve been perfect if it brought back those themes, teaching children what they need to know. But I think wish would’ve been really good if it showed that not everything is black and white as a lesson to teach as well. Yes there’s a classic villain, but he has good intentions, which make the hero realise her own faults within herself without admitting ever that the villain is right or ‘redeemed’ or ‘misunderstood’ because he had one good point, that does not make him good. The hero has many flaws, that does not make her bad. Okay maybe I need to go rewrite wish. 😂

[@XarisCoffeen]

@@Muffinschaos Great thoughts. Having gray villains can help expose that no one is perfect, not even the heroes. And clearly evil, but complex and compelling villains that the heroes defeat promotes good and exposes the types of evil children will encounter so they are prepared. And also I totally agree that wish needs to be rewritten. I want the Disney fandom to raise funds to make an entirely new and better of Wish, because the community responded with some seriously creative ideas of what Wish should have been. 😇

[@Muffinschaos]

@@XarisCoffeen I have some ideas which I’d like to mention here if we’d ever make some kind of movie about this: First of all, shades of grey. Let’s see how we can give Asha a flaw in herself, and Magnífico something good. Magnifico is technically right that not every wish can be granted. Let’s say that a few years into ruling his kingdom, he gave the wrong wish to someone. They wreaked havoc until he took their wish away. He has a good intention now, wanting to make sure no wish does that again by giving them very slowly. This is both flawed and righteous logic, which makes a conflicted movie. He may not go about things the right way, but he is technically right. Asha’s character. I’ve seen suggestions that she could’ve been Magnifico’s daughter. I love this personally. It gives her conflict and it gives her a reason to trust her father at first, before suspicion sneaks in. Asha sees the wishes and wonders why she can’t get hers. After all, her father knows she has a good wish. Magnífico on principle is still not going to do it right now, which gives Asha anger among other things her father is doing, as she notices how poor people in the streets are, and Magnífico just ignores it like it’s nothing. She is naive to the kingdom because Magnífico never told her anything about it, and she has been too laidback about it. Now she has a fire in her which has sparked, and she runs away to see the kingdom for herself. She can’t find money at all, so she steals (Aladdin style) she eventually is found by the man who would’ve been her grandfather in the og story, who takes her in and who tells her about his wish using art so it isn’t fully spoken (a way to add the 2D animation back). Now she has a resolve to give back wishes to the right people. Now for the star. Starboy has been given hope he’s lost by seeing the world by Asha, and he forces himself out of the sky, but he ends up becoming a cracked star. Asha finds him unconscious on the floor and takes him back, saving him. Now they have a time limit, they need to get back Asha’s wish before Starboy dies. This is what I have myself, I think it needs some work but I love it, I’m open to your suggestions! (:

@@PixelPlayhouse I do wish each one of the fan-favorite villains got their own section…. Mostly since then the song would be longer haha Oh and I know he’s not one of the classic villains but Emperor Belos of the Owl House is by far the scariest villains of the Disney catalog. His motivations are the same as so many of the real life evil villains of the real world. I’m 23 and he freaking terrifies me… because well spoilers ;) No but seriously some of the he canonically did is some horror movie sh t. And he does it all genuinely believing he’s the good guy. The show had good representation, but it did suffer a bit from the fact the management only gave them 2.5 seasons. Because they didn’t know they had a good thing… despite all the people telling them they loved the show.

@@PixelPlayhouseyes Iger is.

[@Muffinschaos]

@@opalishmoth8591absolutely. I’ve been spooked by Belos because of how horrifyingly realistic he is. He is a great villain because of this, he has a stake and that is pure hatred for those different than him. And that makes him horrifying. He’s not looking for absolute power or authority, he’s looking for the destruction of an entire group, more than one, hundreds. Seeing him destroy palisman when we know they have thoughts and feelings, it’s heartbreaking and really says a lot about him. Love Belos as a villain.

[@Muffinschaos]

Seriously, it teaches really good lessons. Gothel helps children in abusive situations break free, Facilier teaches children to be careful what they wish for, Frollo teaches them to stand up for the rights of others who are abused, Cruella teaches them the evils of greed, that it will kill and take innocent lives if not reigned in. Gaston that a good looking person isn’t always the best person. Scar teaches not to always believe adults, even if they are your family. Teaches you to question someone’s morals. Ursula teaches that you should be careful who you trust. They show you these evils in the world, animal cruelty, prejudice, the horrors that can come with religion, greed, lies and deceit, and they teach you to fight back against them. Let’s look at some other villains from Disney’s catalog, some more recent yet still good villains. Te ka. Te ka is not technically a villain, but it teaches us that we shouldn’t mess with nature or it will be our destruction, as we see with te ka and te Fiti. Abuela, I’d say she counts as a villain because of what she did to Mirabelle I mean geez. But anyway, it teaches us that abuse, even from those we love for who we are isn’t right. It could also be a lesson to not judge others who don’t have these ‘gifts’ like Mirabelle, who in this family may be akin to a disabled child in the message. Belos who teaches us not to believe everything this world tells us, and to find out for ourselves, to decide what we believe. (Also normalising gay people which is great) and there’s even more. Jafar, Maleficent, they’re all teaching something. And magnífico could’ve been one of those villains.

Nowadays, Disney reminds me of a satirical story from my childhood, where a storyteller goes to babysit a little boy and tries telling him a fairytale, but the boy keeps saying that there shouldn’t be any evil in a story. So, the storyteller goes home and writes a fairy tale with no conflict whatsoever. However, when he presents it to the child, his reaction is “What a boring fairytale”. The moral is that conflict in a story gives it the needed salt and pepper to make it interesting enough for the readers to keep on reading it. Same goes for movies. And most any art form.

[@Smiththeinspiringanimator]

@@daniellesmusicaladventures9700 And to be honest,we actually haven’t seen Chernebog in a very long time because he’s only made his only appearance in the final version of Disney’s songs based off popular songs around the world.🌎

[@breannapajer4252]

Love this! Love the villains’ awareness and pride in their purpose and them banding together to remind the CEO of what Disney is supposed to be! Disney has been falling flat with their cookie cutter main characters, same personality different name. And their lack of a true villain. Disney villains used to be actually unnerving, diabolical enough to teach us what evil was and what it takes to overcome it without being so horrific that kids shouldn’t watch the movies. They sometimes even provided some humor! They were teachers as much as the heroes were! Disney has indeed forgotten the full scope of their audience. Too often I have I found myself lamenting the increasing decline in the quality of their movies and comparing to the ones I watched as I grew up. And don’t get me started on the number of remakes! Thanks for doing this song with the villains, only they could have gotten the point across! And I love how this sounds like a true Disney villain song!

[@DeepDiveAnime]

This song is an ICONIC MASTERPIECE, especially the actors involved in this project! You represent Walt Disney's legacy and storytelling through song that the company lacks today. You are inspiring people like me to create stories that will last a lifetime. I hope you continue making this content with support from me and the fans out there who deserve a better future for the Disney Studio. LET'S BRING BACK THE MAGIC!!

[@BenNelson-zl6lj]

Fortunately for us, Bob is stepping down as CEO soon and hopefully the moment he retires, things might get better. Slowly but surely, that is. 👏 Wonderful performance, nonetheless! Love the Christmas Carol vibe behind the video's picture, too. 👻

[@kingtutancamon3775]

Honestly a good Villain is vital for any story. Because a light shines brighter in the darkness, and a hero is only as good as their Villain.

[@farihamahfooz]

I can't- you all absolutely SLAYED but Scar was just the RIGHT amount of sassy😭 you guys did them all justice❤

[@TheKaiyaK]

Children aren't stupid and that's what present Disney can't understand.

[@peachesbunny]

This video reminds me of the Disney most of us grew up with. The Disney that actually teaches you morals. Yes, some of the stories may be dark and "frightening" but that's life. As much good there is in this world, there is also evil. And especially because children are the most vulnerable, they should learn about these things as young as possible. This video is literally chef's kiss

[@Caboose-e8w]

bro i loooove villain songs like this and its genuinely impressive how well the singers each perform!, definitely subscribing!

[@alinemunoz2943]

The harmony at 1:55 is PERFECT!!! It’s so theatrical, but at the same time it SCREAMS Disney Villain

[@juniper890]

OMG when Dr.facilier said it's to easy that is exactly what I though when I watched WISH.

[@lilymcculloch9581]

THIS is GOLD! Not only are all the vocal performances stellar, but the commentary is spot-on. If a story is going to be remembered, it needs to have something worth remembering. Which, I must add, this musical most certainly does.

[@ASMRshayla]

I love Disney and I 100% agree with the message of this song. Stop the corporate greed and bring back the magic!

[@discoyetiproductions]

I really love this, fantastic song that calls out modern Disney while paying tribute to the classics we all love

[@TTR_Gaming2508]

Scar being proud 2:43 “That one was me”

[@Crazyashley42]

A few modern Disney movies have an overall theme of, essentially, healing is possible. And it's good that they branched out. But yes, children need the balance. You can both face the evils of the world and win, and you can heal from the damages they cause afterwards. You can't talk about healing if there's nothing to heal *from*

[@Vlogwithathought1278]

The round at 5:27 was absolutely incredible. This song was fantastic

[@juliagreenhouse8695]

The real Bob Iger, or any upcoming CEO of Disney, needs to hear this song!

[@TheGuardianSoul]

I believe a charming villain once said: "There are two sides to every story, & our side has not been told!" If this is what the villains are saying, then I can understand why they would be caring, in their own unique way. 😅

[@hillarymontgomery5032]

Yeah do a Disney Carol that will make Bob Iger remember what true great story telling is all in one night, two weeks before he's getting booted from his CEO seat.....Really nailing that time is of the essence thing here.

[@IAmTheChat]

You know things are bad when the villains of the story are the ones left to save everything that the heroes where protecting great project and if I wasn't subscribed to you guys before I am now :D keep up the good work you should do a hero one with the same concept.

[@kingsherrill6594]

Meanwhile Captain Hook and Hades: 😔

[@animalking8947]

This song proves how disney needs to stop making villain movies that explain how they become evil because that makes them a hero then you can’t tell who is the hero and who is the villain you need to have a villain to see what evil looks like just like the song says then see what good is so kids and adults can learn a lesson and make the world better

I would love to see the animated!😊🤗🫂

[@justinfriedrich5741]

Wow, now that was an amazing song and basically it’s really weird but it is definitely right. Plus in the live action movies the people that actually care about the product aren’t really the people that play the heroes, they are the people that play the villains.

The muppets currently at the head of Disney need to hear this STAT. Walt did NOT build up this magnificent empire from practically nothing but a mouse and a dream, only to have it be tarnished in the way they have been dragging his name through the gutter.

There are three main ingredients to a good Disney movie. 1. A hero people can relate to. 2. A sidekick everyone will love. 3. A villain to hate.

If Disney continues like this for a decade longer DreamWorks becomes more loved for they still know what a villain is When did we last see a real villain in Disney. When did evil almost prevail. When did evil not turn good in the end but got what they deserved.

Another BANGER song from our fav villains 🤩

[@rionfouts916]

That is very good. I hope that makes disney bring back some of the movies they canceled and/or stop making live action remakes. Although I have to admit, a select few of the LA remakes were a little over the top, especially the jungle book one.

[@inkiawa]

I love it!! Just an "advice" but I'd have found it easier to follow if the villain singing was in some way highlighted! Like if the background was normally black and white and turned to color when the signer was singing
