Good thing you iterate this is the Disney version. Go back to the source material, and the story doesn't go the same. I like reading classics. I don't like what Disney does. Not everything ends happily ever after. The old novels better reflect real life

[@TheCommenterDragon]

The fact that these Disney villains almost succeeded in their plans is one of the reasons why some of them are my favorites, Hell one thing that Jafar, Yzma and Hans have in common is that they both wanted to rule a kingdom so badly that they were willing to commit murder and down right high treason to do it.

Frollo's death is by far my favorite Disney Villain death. I love the irony of his last words "And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit". And I also love of the heavy symbolism they used in his death, making it look like he was falling to hell; very appropriate, given the religious themes of the film. Also if pay close attention to scene, you'll notice that the reason the gargoyle crumbled in the first place was because Frollo had cut through it partially, in his attempt to kill Quasimodo and Esmeralda. One of the many cases of a villain bringing about their own demise.

[@veronicado1016]

Oh wow. I never realized that. Thanks for pointing that out. Very interesting 😊

[@savvivixen8490]

Those facts are EXACTLY why I love that scene so much! The poetic justice, the self-fulfilling prophecy, the metaphors, the imagery... ^-^! It was scary to me when it first came out, while also being cathartic enough for me to keep watching to see it'll be okay for the heros. Nowadays, the more I catch, the more I REALLY appreciate the work done on and for this movie. So good...

[@jetfire1153red]

"And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit" Frollo was right, the only problem is the wicked mentioned in the quote is him not Quasimodo or Esmeralda.

[@joebrat6809]

I agree, and this villain even tops Scar as the most evil of all Disney characters as the threat he poses feels very real. He is also shown to be insanely sadistic and the fact he was the inspiration behind Mick Taylor from Wolf Creek says it all really

[@sonicmario64]

Lady Tremaine (AKA The Stepmother) from "Cinderella" deserves an honorable mention because she tried to lock Cinderella in her room so that she wouldn't be able to try on the glass slipper like her stepsisters, and even after Cinderella was able to get out thanks to her animal friends helping her the last minute, Lady Tremaine purposely trips the Grand Duke's assistant, causing him to drop the glass slipper, which ends up shattering upon hitting the ground. But to the evil stepmother's surprise, however, Cinderella reveals that she had the other slipper immediately afterwards.

[@drmarioprojectm1510]

And when Lady Tremaine attempted to undo Cinderella's happily ever after in "A Twist in Time", she nearly succeeded until Prince Charming used his sword to deflect a transformation spell back at her.

[@Aloyus_Knight]

A major plot hole is, the glass slipper fitting anyone OTHER THEN CINDY because plenty of people have the same shoes size. If some hotter, sexier woman came along who fit the slipper as well the prince would probably go for her instead.

[@lorettadansereau8651]

I agree, she should've been mentioned?

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I knew Scar would be number one! How could he not. He actually succeeds in his evil plan pretty early on in the movie and keeps his victory for a number of years! Then in an ironic twist he isn’t killed by the hero but by his own henchmen!

[@BG-be8di]

exact, that was a ironic twist final for a villain, like him, It was also the first time that I saw a Disney villain get an almost success in his plan so soon, I didn't want to believe it when he managed to kill to Mufasa and banished to Simba (althoguh he didn't know that he was alive)

[@nevaehhamilton3493]

Well no wonder the twist was so shoddy.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Really? 😮 That was news to me. Just like the twist that Hans was evil. 😅

[@AdamIshak01]

Honestly I thought top 5 (no order specifically) would be Scar, Mother Gothel, Prince John, Ernesto de la Cruz, and Hades since they actually succeeded and enjoyed their victory for years- YEARS - before the heroes came back to correct everything. Scar- he got rid of his brother who was king, his nephew who would have been his brother’s successor, essentially had Narabi as his Queen just because he took position as king, and was king for 4-5 years thinking his reign would be until his death since he didn’t know Simba was alive. Mother Gothel- she wanted to stay young and when the flower was taken away, she PARACORED the king and queens castle in her old state, stole it back, and kept it hidden for almost 2 decades. She probably would have kept it going on for much much longer until Rapunzel herself gets old if Flynn never found the tower. Prince John- This is from Disney’s Robin Hood so I can get how it’s overlooked since it’s not a super popular movie or fan favorite but since they mentioned Black Caldron which Disney hated cause it was a failure, then why not Robin Hood? He was the lion who wanted to be richer than the king before him (his brother), and any other king that had existed because being rich means your powerful. Again, he got what he wanted cause he was king of all of England and super wealthy for years. He only failed cause of his pride and wanting revenge on Robin Hood cause he won in Nottingham. Even though Prince John had all of England making him rich beyond belief with how badly he taxed everyone so he was more than fine losing Nottingham, not like it hit his pockets or anything, he was just being petty and couldn’t stand losing. Ernesto de la Cruz- he wanted to be famous so he did. He killed his best friend, made it an accident and no one even suspected foul play yet alone thought he was involved, was the most loved celebrity in life AND then again IN DEATH as a bonus. He enjoyed being famous, never working, partying, being worshipped, and everyone being just as obsessed with him as he is with himself. He won both in life and death for DECADES! He got found out and exposed on accident after enjoying lifetimes of fame. Hades- he wanted to rule Olympus and only way to do that was defeat the other Gods and get rid of the only successor and only one whose powerful enough to stop them. He thought Hercules was dead for years until he found out 18 years later he was alive but still killable. He didn’t kill Hercules but he did get rid of his God status for almost two decades preventing him from entering Olympus with Herc not even knowing who he was. Even after Herc found out who he was, trained, Hades was able to get rid of his God powers and actually did take over Mt Olympus for a few minutes. If Hades didn’t keep his own word in his own deal, Hercules would have never had the ability to fight back so Hades kind of undid his own plan. I was shocked Ernesto was so low on the list. Like my guy *actually succeed* scott free for years in life and in death, and was absolutely sinister about how he got there and how he planned on keeping it that way. He caught one body in life (that we know of) and technically 3 more in death!

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Evil Queen would have succeeded if the lightning strike didn’t cause her to fall to her death

[@zacharyyamashita8554]

Nature itself was the big hero in Snow White.

[@BG-be8di]

yes, her success also almost happened if the prince didn't kiss Snow White and luckily the dwarves didn't have the heart to bury her

[@WilliamDearthwd]

47: You almost made me spit out my food. When you said Hades, he gets punched in the face 🤣🤣🤣

[@MegaPianoplayer1]

I wouldn't say Timon and Pumbaa had much to do with Scar's downfall. They had Simba perfectly happy to continue living in the jungle with them. The real coincidence was Simba and Nala accidentally meeting. Sure, it was caused by Timon and Pumbaa being in trouble, but if Nala hadn't been the one hunting, Simba would never have gone back.

[@nixda9326]

but if Timon and Pumbaa didnt find him Simba would have died in the Dessert long time ago. so yes, them saving Simba from actually dying was an important Part in the Downfall of Scar. because without that the following Events wouldnt have happened.

[@BG-be8di]

for me, Timon and Pumba were what Scar did not anticipate, if they didn't go there and find to Simba. Exactly, saving him from dying was what made Scar's plan fail

[@WilliamDearthwd]

Yes. Nala said she left the Pridelands to find help...and then found him.

[@lenabluejay1166]

They play a major part in his downfall! In the third film (which is the events of the first film but from their point of view) they're shown luring the hyenas away from Simba during the fight so the hyenas can't help Scar kill him, not to mention the hula dance they do to distract them in the first film!

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Jafar could have succeeded without the lamp, since his staff could cause mind control. He should have just used that to get his way from the beginning, but then the movie wouldn’t happen

[@zigzagdoublezee2033]

What about Zira from The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride? She and her Outsiders almost wiped out Simba and the Pridelanders during the climax before Kovu and Kiara intervened.

[@KayKwasa]

Even if he's the villain, the fact that Scar's plan actually succeeds is a pretty awesome achievement on his part, and grants him the status of one of the most successful, if not the most successful Disney villain. It's likely one of the reasons for his sizable fanbase

[@PhoenixRising87]

Ernesto...pretty much DID get away with it. Even if he got his comeuppance in the land of the dead and was disgraced, for all intents and purposes, he did succeed.

[@Jkenzie314]

I honestly believe that Shenzi, Banzai and Ed were coming to help Scar. But when they heard him say, "It's the hyenas! They're the real enemies." They changed their mind. He also had one of the most brutal Disney deaths ever. Being burnt _and_ eaten alive. (Nevertheless he's still my most favourite Disney villain ❤️)

[@DestinyYlisse]

Scar would've succeeded if not for two things that led to his downfall: 1.Simba returning and 2.Him betraying the hyenas.

[@nixda9326]

yeah, but the first thing was still that Timon and Pumba found him. otherwise he would have surely died in the Dessert and he and Nala would have never met each other again. and then he would have never returned to his Land.

[@BG-be8di]

Jafar almost succeeded TWICE, because he came back in The Return of Jafar, and only a near dead Iago was able to kick Jafar's lamp into the lava as Jafar was going on a destructive tirade, and even almost had Aladdin killed twice in that movie. Not to mention Jafar's death was one of the most disturbing deaths in a Disney movie ever.

@@zacharyyamashita8554 One reason might have been that Robin Williams didn't voice Genie.

Actually, ironically enough, if Hans had just not told Elsa her sister was "dead", the winds would never have died down, and Anna would never have known where they were, thus she wouldn't be able to save her sister. I'm sure if he had done some persuading instead, he might've succeeded in convincing Elsa the world would be better off without her so she wouldn't resist his attempt on her life.

The best thing about Jafar's defeat is that Aladdin not only plays to his ego, but also plays to Jafar's lack of creativity. Aladdin's hard life forced him to learn to get creative and clever. Jafar's life of power, however, has caused Jafar to lean more on tools and other people than his own cleverness. So Aladdin knows that Jafar isn't prone to thinking outside of the box. Jafar COULD have said "I wish to be all-powerful". Instead, he says "I wish to be an all-powerful genie". That's because the genie is the only example of omnipotence that Jafar has seen thus far, and so his mind naturally jumped to that. Which is exactly what Aladdin was expecting Jafar's mind to do.

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

Wishing to be all-powerful is in the gray area since it's not that specific. The live action movie touched on that when Jafar made that wish.

Scar probably figured that the Lionesses would have smelled Lion Blood on him and rejected and rebelled against him instantly

I always used to root for the villains to win, since they were usually more entertaining, and memorable than the heroes.

[@ChibiProwl]

That and their more fun and bombastic. Not to mention their songs are more catchy.

[@madman00774]

Agreed. 💯

[@ericleecoronado6516]

Best villains to root for. 1. The Evil Queen 2. Chernabog 3. Maleficent 4. Madam Mim 5. The Horned King 6. Ursula 7. Jafar 8. Scar 9. Dr. Facilier

I'll argue on behalf of Gaston till the day I die. I won't pretend he wasn't an asshole, but he was no worse than the prince. In fact, if the witch hadn't cursed the prince, I believe he would have been far worse than Gaston. The only reason the prince even changed was because of Belle, who was only there to protect her father. Since Belle was able to change the prince, it stands to reason that she may have change Gaston's bad habits.

[@SexySkoChick]

that's how I feel as well! 😱 ALSO in my opinion if he hadn't fallen off the roof to the castle then Gaston would've DEFINITELY been able to have Belle all to himself 😳

[@michaelparham1328]

@@SexySkoChick This isn't canon, but it's fun to think about. In Tarzan, there's an easter egg reference to Beauty and the Beast, in the form of Jane's tea set. It's modeled after the set in Beauty and the Beast. We know this because one of the cups has a chip missing. Leading some people to theorize that Jane is an ancestor of Belle. Given the time frame, the physical similarities, the affinity for books, and choice in clothing, it's a solid theory. Some people take it a step further, suggesting Clayton is a descendant of Gaston, from an unknown relationship prior to him meeting Belle. And again, given the similarities in appearance, and personalities, it's a pretty reasonable conclusion.

[@ellynmacgregor8210]

@@michaelparham1328 "Leading some people to theorize that Jane is an *ancestor* of Belle." Given that Belle lives in the 18th Century, and Jane in the 19th or early 20th, I'm guessing you meant to type "descendant."

You guys forgot about Oogie Booggie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He almost succeeded in killing Santa Claus and Sally and adding them to his Snake and Spider Stew. It is a miracle that Jack Skellington survives his sleigh being blown up and the fall that followed.

[@dragonfan1990]

@@nixda9326 Yes it is a Disney movie. However it was released under Touchstone pictures, which Disney founded and owns. Touchstone is what you could called the "adult" Disney branding for more mature audiences as Disney felt that The Nightmare Before Christmas was to dark and scary for kids.

All Hades had to do was put Meg into an enchanted slumber or something and place her somewhere far away from the destruction the moment Herc walked away. When you put a clause like that into a deal with a being as strong as Herc, you take out an insurance policy to prevent that clause from so much as stubbing her toe.

Of course Hans had to be on here instead of either John Silver or Scroop from the underrated masterpiece, Treasure Planet. For Silver, while he did finally manage to reach the legendary Loot of a Thousand Worlds, the self-destruct sequence on the titular planet that was set up by the infamous Captain Flint right before he died caused Silver to lose almost all of the treasure that he had spent his entire life searching for. And for Scroop, he almost managed to kill off Jim Hawkins while he was hanging on to the alien pirate flag when the RLS Legacy's gravity generator gets accidentally shut off by B.E.N. while he was trying to find and sabotage the plug that connects to the ship's cannon, causing both Jim and Scroop to float up. Only for Scroop to be outsmarted by Jim, making him ascend to his demise in never-ending space. But as usual, you're more worried about pandering and conforming to popular opinion than putting movies like TP that are legitimately the most deserving to be on lists like this. 😤

[@DarkFr3ak101]

I never really saw John Silver as a villain but as more of as an antihero because he was more of a father figure to Jim. Plus Silver does get a happy ending, however Scroop was the worst making his death enjoyable.

[@1992disney]

@@DarkFr3ak101 Silver's still a villain since Treasure Planet's an adaptation of Treasure Island. 🤷‍♀

[@annhienhoang]

The fact thing about villains, they always lose. For Disney villains, they caused their lost themselves in direct or indirect ways. Everybody loves heroes and heroines, so nobody wants to see villains win.

[@fiyeroselphaba]

Scar would have succeeded if Simba hadn't fall into a thorn patch and the hyenas didn't feel like getting stabbed with thorns. A "king" doesn't do his own dirty work.

[@DinosaurDude53747]

Don’t forget Morgana from the little mermaid 2. If she had just killed off melody after she was given the trident or even used it to keep her turned into a mermaid after that, she would’ve outright won right then and there.

[@okamireader5]

I knew Scar was gonna be Number 1 on this list, but u forgot his mistake of gloating to Simba when he had him right where he wanted him, where he whispered to his nephew that he, not Simba, killed Mufassa. His other two mistakes were cowardly trying to shift blame onto the hyenas and not taking the merciful exile he didn't deserve when he had the chance. Had he not been so arrogant, he would have gotten rid of Simba as well at that crucial moment, and had he not tried to throw the hyenas under the bus they might have helped him after Simba threw Scar off of Pride Rock, and had he not been a sore loser he could have left and lived, even if it would have been in disgraceful exile, but that itself would have allowed Scar the opportunity to rally his forces in the Outlands, gather his followers and more to his side, and make a return for revenge and to reclaim the Pride Lands once more He did much of that in "The Lion Guard" (albeit without his lion followers) and left a lasting impact on his grandnephew, Kion
