Top 10 Disney Villains That ALMOST Succeeded

undistinguished career of basil of Baker Street sure just pickable and they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids welcome to Ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top ten Disney villains that almost succeeded before we begin we publish new content every day so be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos we'll be looking at animated Disney villains who came very close to accomplishing their goals only to be thwarted and defeated at the last possible moment [Music] number ten Ernesto de la Cruz Coco [Music] Ernesto was certainly an ambitious man once Hector called it quits Ernesto poisoned his drink and stole his work passing it off as his own and you know what it actually worked Ernesto became an icon in his native country and a beautiful mausoleum was erected in his memory when it comes to the land of the living Ernesto straight-up beat Hector as painful as it is to acknowledge he nearly won in the land of the dead as well if it wasn't for the family rescuing Hector and Miguel from the cenote pit if their nesto had disposed of Hector and Miguel in a more elaborate manner the secret would never have been revealed and arnesto would continue to be revered and beloved number nine dr. Vasily a The Princess and the Frog dr. faciliate wins a lot throughout the princess and the frog he turns into Vina into a frog he disguises lawrence as human Naveen and he's even granted the use of scary shadow demons by the voodoo spirits we gonna find ourselves a frog search everywhere the Bayou the porter bring him to me alive I need his heart pumpin said demons later capture frogmen beam and even though ray steals the talisman disguising lawrence faciliate squishes him to death in one of the most upsetting deaths in early 21st century disney memory in fact if faciliate didn't gloat and do the whole villain monologue thing with tiana things would have worked out quite well for him however he didn't take into account Tiana's long tongue number eight maleficent Sleeping Beauty [Music] why it's magnificent what does she want Maleficent is one of the all-time greatest Disney villains not just because of her over-the-top outfit and greenish gray skin although that helps but because she's truly menacing and dangerous not only does she manage to curse Aurora but she also successfully tricks her into pricking her finger on a spinning wheel which of course forces the princess into a deep sleep you poor simple fools thinking you could defeat me me the mistress leavel she even serves as a tough final boss after taking the form of a dragon and if it wasn't for the fairies and a particularly well-placed sword throw Philip would have been a goner meanwhile Aurora would be stuck sleeping for a long long time [Music] number seven judge Claude Frollo The Hunchback of Notre Dom Quasimodo I know it things look pretty grim near the end of the Hunchback of Notre Dom Frollo tricks Quasimodo into leading him to the court of miracles which in turn results in the capture of Esmeralda and her people Esmeralda is also sentenced to burn at the stake for refusing frollo's advances luckily Quasimodo saves the day resulting in an ambush on the cathedral Frollo nearly kills Quasimodo by sending him over the edge of the building and is ultimately defeated by a weak and crumbling gargoyle if he just pulled himself all the way up instead of standing on the gargoyle the Hunchback of Notre Dame might have had a very different ending number six Don bellwether Zootopia right well I'd say the case is in good hands as little guys really need to stick together right like glue despite her appearance bellwether is one of the most immoral and manipulative villains in the Disney canon for one thing her plan to segregate the Predators actually worked and Zootopia was plunged into a bitter civil strife unlike most Disney Villains bellwether 1 and her plan was completely successful think of the headline hero cop killed by Savage Box it was only by pure happenstance that judy even realized the truth about the night howlers just imagine if she didn't return home if Gideon didn't deliver the pies if the kids didn't run through the flower patch or if Gideon didn't share what his family called the flowers that's a lot of ifs that ended up foiling what was otherwise a pretty foolproof plan former mayor dawn bellwether is behind bars today guilty of masterminding the savage attacks that have plagued Zootopia of late number five Ursula the Little Mermaid the climax of The Little Mermaid is probably one of the scariest and most unsettling sequences in Disney history and all of it stems from Ursula first Triton is transformed into a polyp the moment that continues to plague our nightmares to this day angered by the deaths of her eels flotsam and jetsam Ursula grows to a ridiculously massive size and starts controlling the ocean luckily she happens to raise a sunken ship with a splintered bow sprit which Eric uses to impale Ursula and bring an end to her evil it was certainly fortuitous that Ursula raise such a conveniently shaped ship and right in front of a drowning Eric to boot number four mother Gothel tangled maja knows best for someone with no supernatural abilities mother Gothel certainly dealt a lot of damage first she masterminds the kidnapping of Rapunzel and has both Eugene and the stabbington 'he's captured and brought to the palace she's certainly an intelligent villain and those are often the scariest secondly she actually manages to stab one of the protagonists which is more than most Disney villains can say now look what you've done Rapunzel oh don't worry dear our secret will die with him unfortunately for her Eugene managed to hang on just long enough to cut Rapunzel's hair destroying its magic and severing its ties to Gothel resulting in her death just think what would have happened if Gothel pushed him out of the tower window instead [Music] number three Hades Hercules okay well I deserve that character can we talk this is another defeat that comes down to pure rotten luck after defeating the Cyclops Hercules is nearly crushed by a falling pillar but is saved at the last second by mag this in turn breaks Hades promise which allows Hercules to regain his strength storm Olympus defeat the Titans and free the gods all because of a falling pillar if that pillar never cracked Hercules would still be weak and unable to save the gods from the Titans as of Hades luck wasn't bad enough Perks godhood is restored in the sticks at the last possible second preventing the hero from becoming just another soul in the river and fulfilling Hades plans [Applause] get away from me don't touch me get your slimy Souls off me number 2 Jafar Aladdin after he becomes the genies master Jafar uses his wishes to become the most powerful sorcerer in the world and really it doesn't get much more threatening than that his fantastic powers allow him to win the final battle by trapping Jasmine in an hourglass transforming both Abu and the magic carpet and trapping Aladdin in a circle of fire he even manages to transform into a massive freaking snake victory was all but certain and all he had to do was squeeze Aladdin to death however Aladdin placed his ego resulting in his eventual downfall if only he just squeezed him like Iago said Jafar Jafar he's our man if he can't do it great [Music] deepening space before we see who succeeded the most in their pursuits here are a few honorable mentions [Music] [Music] you won't get away with this I already have number 1 scar The Lion King few if any Disney villains are as successful as scar his great villainous scheme actually comes to fruition as Mufasa dies and Simba is banished from the kingdom it's a shocking and incredibly dark turn of events that we truly didn't expect from a Disney film scar subsequently rules the pride lands for many years and if it weren't for Timon and Pumbaa divine like intervention he would have ruled for many more no you're dead or he could have just killed Simba directly but we guess he's above murdering children in cold blood regardless Simba returns an end scars reign for good proving that you should never ever take half measures and that if you want something done right you should do it yourself especially if you're a diabolical villain in a Disney movie [Music] do you agree with our picks
