[@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.

[@darknessunknown4384]

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.

[@WestIndianAK]

Scar *and* Jafar, I'd say

[@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.

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

[@lordcheesus1013]

Agreed. So was the Mouse Detective. There's a LOT of underrated Disney films making these lists, and I'm glad. Most of the staples are great of course, but people shouldn't forget about the obscure ones either.

[@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)

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!

[@karinaquinn-rosewilliams7035]

Another way my man Jafar could've won was adding a single word to his last wish. "I wish to be an all powerful FREE genie."

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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]

@@nixda9326 yeah, Timon and Pumba were the wrench of his plan, what he had not planned, although the hyenas had let Simba escape.. Yeah, they are also partly the heroes of the story

I've seen all the movies and in MOST of them, the villain ALWAYS monologued about their victory BEFORE they even had their victory. If they didn't brag so much, things may ended up differently.

[@nixda9326]

but thats a trope that is also in other Movies. its used for that the Hero can find a way to stop the Villain in the last Moment. its almost as old as Movies itself. thats the Point.

[@BlackTigr]

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.

[@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

[@lordcheesus1013]

His own pride still would've gotten the best of him. Not only did he want to rule a kingdom, he wanted the most MAGICAL power on the planet. He could get Agraba's throne, sure. But he still wanted the magic in order to probably prevent rebellion and keep his title. Even if he took control first, he'd still eventually go after the lamp, which will always be his downfall. In the end Jafar will always be his OWN worst enemy.

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Scar is definitely one of the best Disney villains yet. Happy saturday afternoon Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia.

I think an honorable mention can be made for Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He nearly succeeded in using his DIP concoction to kill both Roger and Jessica, then wipe out Toontown completely. Imagine if it hadn't been for Eddie's past as a clown, or for Roger telling him that a laugh might be the only weapon he has? Then he wouldn't have been able to make the weasels laugh themselves to death.

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.

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. 😤

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.

22:13, McLeach should've been arrested by the rangers, or even immediately eaten by the crocodiles instead of falling over the waterfall, because his fall is NOT good enough in my opinion! If you look closely at McLeach, you can see him tucking himself into a ball as he goes down the waterfall, which is actually considered as a fairly effective way to survive a waterfall that deep without hitting any rocks at the bottom, which will also come off as unacceptable, considering that McLeach will get away with his crimes scot-free after surviving the waterfall, and he would've seriously kidnapped Cody again, but this time, it would be a house kidnapping right in the middle of the night, and the Rescue Aid Society wouldn't be able to stop McLeach in time, neither will the boy's mother, or the rangers. Not only that is the reason why I find "The Rescuers Down Under" decent in my opinion, but other reasons why I didn't like it as much are, one, the captured animals never escaped, two, the film IGNORED Cody's heartbroken mother at the end, and three, too much dark, depressing and violent scenes. To be honest, I think murdering a child is WORSE than murdering an adult, and that's the biggest reason why I wanted McLeach arrested or eaten by the crocs, and also, the death of their child is known to be every parent's worst nightmare! I'm really sorry, but I really think "Down Under" really needs a sequel, but it'll be more on the serious side as it focuses on Cody's PTSD after suffering a lot of horrendous events while kidnapped by that horrible poacher, and honestly, I'm extremely surprised that Cody never cried in the film after all those unfortunate events. Most of all, I want those captured animals rescued on-screen, and this time, no failures!

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.

@@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."

She'd almost succeeded in the second sequel "A Twist in Time" when she used the Fairy Godmother 's wand to alter the timeliness so the slipper fit Anastasia instead of Cinderella, so the Prince will marry her, and when that plan is eventually undone, she then changes Anastasia into a doppelganger of Cinderella at the wedding, but fails again when Anastasia can't go through with the deception

Disney villains do make a few mistakes like Ernesto saying the same words he said to Hector in one of his movies if he didn’t wonder if Miguel and Hector would have ever found out he poisoned him people say Mother gothel would have won if she changed Rapunzel birthday date and yep Ursula brought up her own downfall with that sunken ship it the small things that cause them there downfall to there nearly full proof plans to Hans credit though he didn’t know that Anna had a talking snowman for a friend 😂 Wonder what Yzma would have done if he didn’t fire her then and she should have just given him the poison herself plus made sure it was poison also Mor’du spirit was freed after he was crushed to death so it was probably for the best for him wonder if there’ll be a dreamworks version of this list 🤔😈

The only question I had with Reck-It Ralph's logic: If a playable character suddenly stopped appearing on the character choice frame, wouldn't that already be a broken game for people? Like I'd imagine a kid who loved venellope arrived at the arcade one day to suddenly find their favorite character was no longer on screen. That be a serious confusion for the kid and the manager would definitely be called. At least for me if that happened to any of my game I'd think either my device was glitching or the server's broken.

[@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

I know this list is all about Disney movies, but I would like to mention Belos from The Owl House because we was close to succeeding with his goal to wipe out all witches in the Demon Realm. The first time was back in King’s Tide when he used the draining spell for the Day of Unity. Only for King to free the Collector and he stops the draining spell and splats Belos. And the other time is in Watching and Dreaming where he possess the Titan’s heart turning into this Kaju beast and putting his goop all over the Isles. Heck, for a brief moment, he even killed Luz. But of course, Luz won and defeated Belos thanks to the power of the Titan that was given to her in the in between realm.
