No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston

Gaston, he's awesome.

 

[FelixOrion]

It's not even a contest here.

Without question.

Also: Mark Hamill as Muska

 

[RSLAEV]

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

Damn I love old Bluth but Jenner is over-animated as hell in that scene. Like damn dude stop spazzing out.

 

[Armoured Priest]

The Scarecrow.

Eons old super weapon from the Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.

Pretty intense stuff for an 80s cartoon.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Ursula and Scar

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

I really wish they would make more movies like this.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Golgo 13: The Professional has some of my favorites.


Gold and Silver

Gold & Silver are a pair of assassins who appeared in Golgo 13: The Professional. In the year 1970, the duo were part of a 40-man operation in Central America (Africa in the English dub) to survive the term of 80 days against 2000 guerrillas and wildlife. While 38 of the hitmen died, Gold & Silver survived and killed every last guerrilla. When they returned to America, they committed grisly murders and by the time Leonard Dawson saw them as his hope of killing Golgo 13, Gold & Silver were to be executed. FBI chief Garvin released them and brought them to Dawson. The duo spotted different features, on Gold's face was a golden false eye, on Silver's face was a mask

Snake

some bad dudes in this post

Spoiler

no match for Duke, though.

 

[cameron]

Adding one that hasn't been mentioned. Eris from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas.

 

[MightyKAC]

Tenchi Muyo in Love: Mother Fucking Kain....

Ominous, immortal, time traveling, killing machine.

 

[Host Samurai]

Always loved me some Frieza

 

[Sketch_Turntable]

needs to be mentioned along with Lord Shen. Kung Fu Panda is awesome.

 

[Levyne]

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

Judge Claude Frollo.

These two for me.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

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

My man.

I will not be the weak link!

 

[Forsaken82]

Damn I love old Bluth but Jenner is over-animated as hell in that scene. Like damn dude stop spazzing out.

I always thought Jenner was crazy in general so the over the top personality just worked for me. Also the emotion on Sullivan's face during that scene is perfectly animated in my opinion. Balances it all out

I need to watch this movie again

Also... does The Judge from Who Framed Roger Rabbit count?

 

[Switch Back 9]

Some good replies in here.

Malificent wins for the female side, bitch is badass and I'd totally do her!!

But seriously this is the only real answer.

Motherfucker killed Optimus Prime! That alone is enough to elevate him to the top of the heap.

edit: You know what? I was going to quote it because the picture is huge, but that would be an insult to Megatron. I leave him this size in all his evil glory.

 

[RetroDLC]

Mr. Hitcher from Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation is one of my favourites.

Also Zordrak from The Dreamstone.

 

[GK86]

My favorite.

 

[Fritz]

Tragic. And a pretty fucking cool villain.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Kent Mansley from Iron Giant. He was just funny.

Rattlesnake Jake from Rango. Just a nice surprise in his intensity. Especially liked the weird effect of Bill Nighy doing a western accent.

 

[googleplex]

I also like...

Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke.

Such a complex character. Although she is the main antagonists, it's hard to call her a villain. I guess the best villains are the ones where you can understand their motivations.

 

[ianswoody]

Professor Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective.

 

[redlemon]

Nox from Wakfu is a great recent villain with an amazing character design.

 

[Kobe24]

Pick one GAF

 

[Switch Back 9]

This looks like a caricature of a Jewish person on a Nazi propaganda flyer.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Pick one GAF

That whale scared the hell out of me when I was little.

 

[Winterfang]

80% of the pictures won't load for me

 

[Mobius 1]

Tragic. And a pretty fucking cool villain.

 

[El Daniel]

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston

Gaston, he's awesome.

60 eggs a day. Aw yiss

 

[AngmarsKing701]

While there are quite a great villains, this is the best.

It helps that Jeremy Irons's voice is stunning. He positively drips menace and venom.

 

[JHall]

Scar from the Lion King.

 

[reKon]

From the best opening of any animated film ever and arguably any film, we got quite the opening from that scene that takes place right after with Scar. I saw that scene again not to long ago. It surprised me how well done it was and how good the exchange was between him and Mufasa. Long live the king.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Don't know if he's the best, but I always thought Oogie Boogie was a cool villain.

 

[Loxley]

Frollo - Hunchback of Notre Dame

 

[Secret Fawful]

Every post should have been Frollo.

Also Claudandus.

Who is this creep?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Who is this creep?

The guy who kidnapped Pinocchio.

 

[Secret Fawful]

The guy who kidnapped Pinocchio.

Oh yeah. I haven't seen many Disney movies yet; Pinocchio is still on my list.

 

[Femmeworth]

Some "villains" from Oshii films.

Angel's Egg

Patlabor: The Movie

Ghost in the Shell

 

[WAR recon zero]

No contest

 

[kinn]

Not from a movie though. So guess he doesnt count. But still cool!

 

[Currygan]

I want to be original

man, I hated him

fantastic stylized design and incredible voice work by Jude Law

 

[PaulloDEC]

As a big fan of 90's Disney:

James Woods as Hades

Tony Jay as Claude Frollo

James Garner as Commander Rourke

 

[Takamura-San]

Everyone* can be super! And when everyone's super... [chuckles evilly] no one will be.

 

[ptolemy]

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

This cannot be over stated. Fantastic performance from Vincent Price.

 

[Amalthea]

For some reasons I find a lot of Cartoon villains lame as hell even though I love animated films.

 

[richiek]

Hopper from A Bug's Life. One stone cold motherfucker.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Hades from Disney's Hercules.
Not only is his voice totally AWESOME (at least in English and German), but he's also so well animated.
All his gestures and mood swings and fire hair and everything about him is really awesomely animated.


Also Zigzag from The Thief and The Cobbler/Arabian Nights.


EDIT: For some reason I thought this was about Best animated movie villains, instead of Best animated movie villains.
My point still stands though. Love me some Hades.

 

[akachan ningen]

This guy for sure. He doesn't even have a name. He's just the coachman. He basically sells kids into slavery by the dozens for money.

The guy who kidnapped Pinocchio.

He didn't kidnap Pinocchio, Stromboli did. And then Pinocchio went to pleasure island after being tricked by foulfellow.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Richard Williams' genius level animation paired with Vincent Price's genius level voice acting.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Richard Williams' genius level animation paired with Vincent Price's genius level voice acting.

Also 6 fingers on each hand and 3 joints on each finger. It's gross on a subconcious level because you never really notice what's wrong with his hands.

 

[JessicaPadkin]

Did anyone mention these two yet?

(From Emperor's New Groove)

Also, Yellow Submarine's Glove always creeped me out:

 

[UnluckyKate]

needs to be mentioned along with Lord Shen. Kung Fu Panda is awesome.

just rewatched the br today. amazingly beautifully breathtaking. This guy steals the show
