These Disney Villains Are Underrated In My Opinion
1. Amos Slade (The Fox and the Hound)
He may not look like it, but he's actually quite a twisted villain. For one thing, he teaches Copper to become a hunting dog, which puts a HUGE strain between him and Tod, and then he goes as far as trespassing onto private property in order to kill the poor fox. Kinda messed up if you ask me...
2. Dawn Bellwether (Zootopia)
Disney / Via
Don't let those cute looks fool ya.. She's a little lamb with a BIG secret agenda. Her ultimate goal was to supplant the position held by Mayor Lionheart and create a new order where prey animals dominate the predators. She certainly is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
3. Madame Medusa (The Rescuers)
This not at all crazy woman kidnapped a young orphan girl and forced her to work in an underground cave for a diamond? Pretty messed up. Oh, and she has crocodiles as pets. So there's that.
4. Ratigan (The Great Mouse Detective)
Disney / Via
He's the world's greatest criminal mind! And he is voiced by none other than the horror icon himself, Vincent Price. What's not to love about him?
5. Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove)
Disney / Via
Yzma is a gal who knows what she wants, and will do whatever it takes to do it, even if it means 'poisoning' them to do it. Now if she can just do something about those levers.
6. Charles Muntz (Up)
Disney/Pixar / Via
He was once a celebrated figure, but now he has become a shell of his former self, over a bird. His search has become an obsession and is willing to kill anyone who is after 'his' bird.
7. Prince John (Robin Hood)
Disney / Via
Prince John is perhaps the most pathetic Disney villain I've ever seen, but that's what makes him so memorable. Him sucking on his thumb calling for his mommy? Classic.
8. Lady Tremaine (Cinderella)
Disney / Via
Lady Tremaine could be considered more of a negligent stepparent more than a villain, but she still is quite a cold hearted person. Forcing Cinderella to wait on her and her sisters 24/7, and her just standing and watching her daughters go tear up Cinderella's dress that was her mother's. Has she no soul?
9. Horned King (The Black Cauldron)
Disney / Via
The Horned King has got to be the most horrifying villain Disney has ever made, which is fitting considering The Black Cauldron is also one of THE darkest films that Disney has ever made. I wonder how many kids had nightmares from watching this guy?
10. Randall (Monsters Inc.)
Disney/Pixar / Via
Randall is a hardcore competitor with an unforgiving attitude and no regard for anyone else. He even went as far as teaming up with Mr. Waternoose claiming that it would benefit the company. And he also tries to kill Sulley. He's violent as well.
11. Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Disney / Via
Here we have one of the most twisted Disney villains ever. He is convinced that all his actions are justified because they are God's will, like when he briefly smiles while his ex-captain of the guard is tortured and also takes pleasure in burning Esmeralda at the stake. He also refuses to allow the hunchback to experience freedom, and allows him to be humiliated in public without even bothering to help him, as punishment for disobeying him.
12. Clayton (Tarzan)
Disney / Via
He's an opportunistic hunter with a ruthless disregard for the natural world, and was initially hired as a protector for Jane and Archimedes on an expedition to study gorillas in Africa, but covertly orchestrated a trafficking ring with an agenda to poach the gorillas and sell them on the black market. He also has one of the most disturbing death scenes in Disney history.
13. Percival C. McLeach (The Rescuers Down Under)
Disney / Via
There's Madame Medusa, and then there's McLeach, a poacher who captures rare animals and sells them for their hides. He clearly enjoys killing animals, and is also sadistic when he kidnaps Cody and later attempts to feed him to a group of crocodiles. Which one's worse?
14. Lotso (Toy Story 3)
Disney/Pixar / Via
