[Charles Foster Kane]

My favorite is probably the devil from Fantasia.

Granted he does't have a character and it's just in one scene, but he's just so imposing.

So which do think are the best? Cgi animation included.

 

[Nekofrog]

Gaston.

 

[Raptomex]

This woman scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

This woman scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

Cruella's definitely a favorite of mine. I actually just cosplayed her designer doll version earlier this year.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

No Face from Spirited Away. He's mysterious, dangerous and yet kind all at once, and I love the social commentary he represents:

Spoiler

he's only evil and greedy because we made him that way.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

General Woundwort from Watership down.

He is described as a rabbit almost as large as a hare. He is depicted with a savage look, complete with pale eyes,  and fur color of undecided thought. Woundwort is orphaned at a young age when his mother is killed by a weasel. He is then taken into the care by a man in a cottage who owns a cat. Once Woundwort is grown, he attempts to kill his first of "the thousand": the cat he lived with. After severely maiming the cat, Woundwort then escapes, and finds his way to his first warren. He quickly usurps leadership, killing the lead rabbit and a rival. He then begins his militarian rule and conquers several other warrens, killing off their leaders personally. Thus Efrafa is born.

Dogs aren't dangerous!

Gaston.

Gaston was a god damn hero.

 

[Error]

It's not even a contest here.

 

[Takamura-San]

Hades from Hercules.

Gaston was a god damn hero.

Gaston was a god damn rapist.

 

[Sojgat]

Hades (James Woods) - Hercules

Edit: Lol beaten.

 

[LittleBoots]

This guy

 

[Violater]

I am depending on this thread to introduce me to a movie to go watch, don't let me down.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Hrm.

I liked Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2:

I also really liked the Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2.

 

[Penguin]

Extra messed up in this film

 

[mxgt]

The scene where he goes crazy scared the crap out of me as a kid

 

[Jarmel]

Hades is the best Disney villain.

I loved that guy. Nice pick.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I really loved Stampede from Bravestarr : The legend when I was a kid. Such a superb design.

 

[DukeBobby]

Rameses in The Prince of Egypt. Great example of a tragic villain.

 

[Error]

I also like...

Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke.

 

[TacticalFox88]

It's not even a contest here.

Came for this.

Wasn't disappointed.

 

[SmithnCo]

Judge Frollo from Hunchback is one of my favorites. Different motivation for a Disney-adapted character, and a pretty dark one at that. Awesome song too.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I also like...

Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke.

She might be the antagonist but I wouldn't call her a villain in any traditional sense.

 

[Forsaken82]

It's not even a contest here.

was thinking this, but then I remembered Jenner from Secret of Nimh

 

[drspeedy]

Only answer. Cruel, unforgiving, relentless.

Oh, and uses magic purely for evil.

 

[SUPREME1]

 

[Draft]

My favorites. All those characters had great voice work, too.

the animation in that movie is unreal. looks so smooth and fluid.

 

[Liha]

General Hein

 

[Forsaken82]

the animation in that movie is unreal. looks so smooth and fluid.

Don Bluth and Gary Goldman at their finest in my opinion.

 

[Professor Renegade]

The Witch from Snow White, she scared the fuck out of me as a kid.

 

[.GqueB.]

What the FUCK gaf:

Terrified me as a kid.

 

[penny_wise]

 

[Dai101]

Only answer. Cruel, unforgiving, relentless.

Oh, and uses magic purely for evil.

And her only grudge is that she didn't got invited to a baby shower.

 

[Ein Bear]

 

[Wafflecakes]

What the FUCK gaf:

Terrified me as a kid.

Greatest movie ever. Was all I watched for the first 5 years of my life.

Every damn day.


Where is my bluray?

 

[qindarka]

And her only grudge is that she didn't got invited to a baby shower.

Always got the impression that Maleficent wasn't really offended. She just does what she does for evil's sake.

 

[Cat Party]

Only answer. Cruel, unforgiving, relentless.

Oh, and uses magic purely for evil.

Her plan to make the prince sit in her prison until he becomes an old man and then release him is so utterly evil I think she takes the cake.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Seriously, it was a surprise even to me that this villain was great!

That's Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2 BTW.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

He is literally the devil. Automatically wins.

EDIT: Beaten, how the hell did I miss that?

Also, this scary nightmare childhood ruining bitch;

Only answer. Cruel, unforgiving, relentless.

Oh, and uses magic purely for evil.

Yeah, she says something at one point like "I can finally get a good night's sleep for the first time in 16 years!" She has insomnia over some innocent kid not being comatose.

 

[qindarka]

Well, if we are considering Chernabog here, I'll give this one a mention:

Firebird from Fantasia 2000.

 

[Tizoc]

Thrax from the Osmosis Jones movie.

 

[T Dollarz]

 

[SpudBud]

Judge Claude Frollo.

 

[joe2187]

My favorites. All those characters had great voice work, too.

Yes!, man...brings back some memories, that was and is still my favorite animated movie.

James Earl Jones: DOOM...DOOM...DOOM...DOOM!

And Sir Neville fucking Smythe!...such a badass.

[Razgriz-Specter]

 

[MrCunningham]

I always liked Mok from Rock & Rule...

really brilliantly animated character, and great design too. Lou Reed did the singing voice for him. The animated movie he was attached to wasn't that good (though it did have its moments), but the villain was awesome. He basically was based on Mick Jagger.


I also liked the look of a lot of the Chuck Jones stock villains

I also liked Clayface from that series, one of the better tragic villains. Ron Perlman did the voice, which is awesome. But then again, just about all the villains from Batman: TAS were excellent, it's realty hard to find a bad one.

 

[Wag]

Dragon from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
