I'm watching Fern Gully right now, and I think Hexxus is my favorite. He's the only one who consistently gave me nightmares as a child, and now watching the movie again, I love the way he's drawn, and his "Toxic Love" song.

The Queen from Snow White, or the queen from Sleeping Beauty. Evil royal women are always the worst.

Although on second thought when I was 8 and went to go see the Lion King- "Be Prepared" freaked me out to no end. I think it wasn't so much the song as the visuals- the green smoke, the hyenas and the skulls.
But when I was really young Ursula scared me. I don't know who it would be- they are both the evil villains that scare me the most- the seducing kind. Scar pretends to be the good uncle, and ursula tries to grant Ariel's desires. I don't know...
Tie- between Scar and ursula.

Hades from Hercules, and of course Jafar. Oh and Gaston.
Frollo from Hunchack of Notre Dame is the darkest Disney villian I think.
"Gaston, you are postitively primeval!" "Why thank you Belle!" - Belle and Gaston
"...while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. Oh, we'll have 6 or 7. Dogs? No, Belle! Strapping boys like me! Imagine that." - Gaston and Belle
"How can you read this? There's no pictures! Well some people use their imaginations." - Gaston and Belle

Scar probably did the MOST damage out of any Disney Villain (Bonus points for pulling Jeremy Irons to do the voice)
I liked the way they defeated Jaffar more so then any other, allowing his own ambition to defeat him was a good strategy.

Ooooo, good question. I had a huge fear of Ursula when I was a kid, but was incredibly fascinated with that movie. However, I also have a huge appreciation of Jafar. In fact, I'm pretty sure that they took the character of Ursula, and made him a dude and wala, gave birth to Jafar. Both have the same traits (patient, smart, lust for power to rule that which they are subject to, dabble in dark arts, cunning). Both are incredibly great villians, but Ursula was far more scary, and smarter- she wasn't tricked, she was stabbed with a boat. She didn't employ comic relief, she employed evil scary eels. AND she had a solo with a catchy beat!

Totally Maleficent. With Snow White's stepmother as a fairly close second and probably Jafar as #3.
Amos Slade (Fox & Hound) wasn't exactly a villain but I remember thinking he was a really mean meanie as a kid.

Gotta go with Cruella too. She's scary because of all Disney villains, she's the closest more or less to an ordinary human being, someone you could meet sometime.
Got one of the better songs, too.

Maleficent and Cruella DeVil for reasons already stated. Captain Hook because the hook and mustache were freaky but his the fear of the tic toc alligator fascinated me.

Scar, no question about it. There are plenty of decent Disney villains, but he and Ursula were the only ones who could properly wield sarcasm.Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Scar was always my favorite -- the only one i felt actual sympathy for and that i thought had a decently developed personality for a cartoon bad guy. The part at the end always made me cry, even though he deserved, i guess, to die, for the murder he committed. but he's the only villain as a child that i remember sympathizing with.

I always though Madame Medusa and her alligators from The Rescuers were pretty bad. She reminds me a lot of Cruella, who took entirely too long to be mentioned in this thread.

Medusa is genuinely scary on a different level from most Disney villains. She is believable, while most of them are not. She is the sort of person DCF and the police deal with on a regular basis.
I think most people are listing villains they find more likeable, in a delightfully wicked sort of way. Not that, say, murdering your brother and taking his mate is morally acceptable, but that their actions are so over the top that we get to focus on their personalities and less on their actions. Medusa is not, I don't think, "delightfully" wicked--she's just a scary mean bitch.

Scar and Jafar I think. I don't remember the earlier villains all that well so I can't judge them (Maleficent, Cruella, etc).

Did we watch the same movie? Or is this from one of those non-Disney, "Beast does some really nasty stuff to Belle that we would rather not describe on the box" video releases?

Malificient was scary. Was Rockadoodle Disney? It's the only movie that ever REALLY left me with nightmares as a kid.
As for a different category, favorite animal sidekick in cartoon, Batty from Ferngully wins.

Come on, between the underplayed British accent and the desire not to conquer the world, just to eat the protagonist, he is Disney's Hannibal Lechter.
