Top 20 Disney Characters Who Are Actually the Villain

we are only here because you stole the heart in the first place welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 Disney characters who are actually the villain but it was just an acorn that that hit my son oh my God no quiet son this is embarrassing enough already for this list we'll be looking at characters from Disney and Pixar films whose actions are more villainous or at least less heroic than they might first appear to be clear not all of them are outright bad and many of them are redeemed if there is a Disney character you think doesn't get as bad a rap as they should tell us in the comments so we can redeem ourselves number 20 Maui Moana look it's impossible to hate Maui the guy is charisma incarnate the legendary hero is larger than life and an absolute blast to watch honestly I could go on and on I can explain every natural phenomenon the tide the grass the ground oh that was mad we just messing around sprouted a tree now you got coconuts however he's also responsible for the film's whole conflict Maui stole the heart of te fiti changing her into Teka and unleashing a blight across the islands of the world and while he does join Moana in trying to rectify his mistake after his magical Fish Hook is nearly destroyed he briefly abandons her I could watch that all day okay enjoy the island Maui no you have to put back the Maui does return but he wouldn't need to go on this Redemption Journey if he'd never stolen the heart in the first place pride and a need for validation can be just as damaging in a hero as in a villain look what I did was wrong I have no excuse I'm sorry number 19 Kenai Brother Bear Kenai is an Inuit boy who's transformed into a bear however the reason why is pretty dark for a Disney movie Kenai provokes a bear who stole his food prompting her to attack him when his brothers defend him his brother Sitka is killed and Kenai kills the Bear in Revenge as punishment he becomes a bear during his time walking in a bear's Paws kinai befriends Coda a young bear I got separated from my mom and now with this Hunter around kid I got my own problem come on please we just go together however he eventually learns that coda's mother was the bear that he killed while Kenai wasn't overtly malicious the fact is that his anger and recklessness resulted in the loss of his own family and codas I let you down like the story you trusted me believed in me and I let you down your mother's not coming number 18 Jack Skellington The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington may be the protagonist of this beloved Halloween slash Christmas movie but he's not exactly a hero out of boredom he stumbles into Christmas Town and decides to take over the holiday by force it's your turn to take it easy but there must be some mistake see that he's comfortable just a second fellas of course that's what I'm missing he has Santa kidnapped along with the Easter Bunny and inadvertently delivers him into the hands of the nightmarish Oogie Boogie then instead of bringing children Joy he terrifies them instead Jack does clean up his mess eventually but not before ignoring the desires of everyone around him and causing mass chaos and Terror how could I so blind all this lost where was I number 17 King Stephen and queen Leah Sleeping Beauty kings and queens and Disney movies rarely get it right for the christening of their daughter Aurora Queen Leah and King Stefan invite practically everyone in the Kingdom with one unfortunate exception they don't invite Maleficent who turns up anyway and curses Aurora to die after getting her finger pricked on a spindle before the sun sets on her 16th birthday she shall prick her finger on the spin the spinning wheel and die while one of the good fairies lessens the blow Aurora is still sent to live with the fairies instead of with her family and every spindle in the kingdom is burned we admit that inviting the Mistress of evil to your child's christening may have sounded bad on paper but by snubbing Maleficent the king and queen only provoked her ire and forced their daughter to grow up without them battle's over goes as good as here I'm sorry human but after 16 years of worrying never knowing the past number 16 Zeus Hercules the gods of Greek mythology are famously not so benevolent and while Zeus and Hercules isn't anywhere near as bad as his mythological counterpart he's still less than perfect Zeus lives it up on Mount Olympus after sticking his brother Hades with a thankless job overseeing the underworld and even mocking him for it you want to slow down you work yourself to death ah work yourself to death it's no wonder Hades tries to take over plus after Hades turns Hercules mortal Zeus doesn't bring him to Olympus or raise him because Mortals aren't allowed what he can't bend the rules as king of the gods or commute to be a parent and plus he's willfully vague and how herk has to become a true hero seems like the biggest thing standing between Zeus and his son is Zeus if you can prove yourself a true hero on Earth your godhood will be restored true hero great uh exactly how do you become a true hero number 15 Troy and Gabriella High School Musical this might be a hot take but these two probably didn't deserve to get the leads in the musical just look at things from Ryan and Sharpay's point of view Troy and Gabriella are both involved in activities that already let them Stand Out basketball and Academic Decathlon respectively not only that the duo get callbacks after singing the exact same song they did but slower that I've never had someone that knows me like you do in sharp Parts should always go to the most deserving and we're all about finding new passions but there is no reason they couldn't have gone for parts in the play other than the leads it would have meant a less demanding schedule and a chance for Sharpay and Ryan to pursue their own passion [Music] [Applause] number 14 Buck clock Chicken Little remember how I told you it would be better for you just to lay low don't call attention to yourself right it's it's like a game yeah a game of hide and seek except the gold is never to be found ever Buck luck is a bad dad when his son believes the sky is falling buck doesn't believe him or support him turning the whole town against him Bach seems embarrassed by his own child and when he deigns to pay attention to Chicken Little at all he gives him bad advice just do me one favor son I sure that anything please try not to get your hopes too high even after his son wins a baseball game the compliments he does give him are all backhanded I guess that puts the whole sky is fully incident behind his once and for all sure for most of us being terrible is obvious and one of the major plot points in the movie but tell that to Disney who in 2020 put out this tweet number 13 Elena Rivera Coco Miguel's Abuelita Elena Rivera may not be the villain of the film but she is the cause of most of the major problems in it I asked if you would like more tamales see that's what I thought you said Abuelita runs their house just like Mama Imelda did no music raised by her own grandmother to reject music after her grandfather never came home after going off to be a musician Abuelita enforces this rule with overzealous enthusiasm not only does her Draconian attitude alienate her grandson Miguel but by refusing to put her grandfather's photo on the afrenda she leaves Hector in danger of being forgotten in the Land of the Dead [Music] until you're in my hearts again remember [Music] me Abuelita does eventually come around but her adherence to Prejudice goes way too far number 12 Emperor Cusco The Emperor's New Groove the eponymous monarch of The Emperor's New Groove Cusco is a spoiled callous ruler before the Story begins and during much of the film now you threw off my groove I'm sorry but you've thrown off The Emperor's Groove Cusco treats everyone around him as though they're beneath him without regard for their feelings since he frequently insults them hit your hair not likely yikes yikes yikes and let me guess you have a great personality is this really the best you could do he also doesn't seem to care about their lives like when he plans to build his new Palace on pacha's land oh yeah summer getaway complete with water slide what isn't it great it's my birthday gift to me given that yzma practically raised him he can see why he turned out the way he did and why she tried to overthrow him but that still does not excuse his appalling Behavior good good that's just what I wanted to hear number 11 Joy inside out the perpetually peppy leader of the personified emotions of a young girl named Riley Joy has the best interests of her human at heart I can't believe mom and dad moved us here look I get it you guys have concerns but we've been through worse tell you what let's make a list of all the things Riley should be happy about but her methods are what ultimately cause most of the issues dealt with in the movie Joy wants Riley to be happy but her need to monopolize control leads her to exclude the other emotions especially sadness whose neglect leaves Riley unable to process how she feels about moving to a new city hey sadness you touched a memory we talked about this oh yeah I know I'm sorry get back in your circle Joey's Quest also leads her on an obsessive Journey that ultimately leads to the death of an imaginary friend don't you get it joined we're stuck down here who have forgotten although she learns a costly lesson she could have saved everyone some heartache if she'd been more willing to seed control or the spotlight to others because that gave us plenty of time to think about what our new house is going to look like what let's review the top five Daydreams number 10 Simba The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride I banished you from the pride lands now you and your young Cub get out Simba may be the hero of the Lion King but in the sequel he makes his share of mistakes as king his banishment of the Lions who supported scar only serves to stir their resentment towards him and the kingdom furthermore he mistrusts Kovu repeatedly despite his and Kiara's attempts to convince him that the younger lion is trustworthy Daddy please listen to him silence when you first came here you asked for judgment and I pass it now exile Simba isn't malicious in his actions but even so his attempts to live up to his father's Legacy cause a lot of needless conflict and he's more like his dad than he thinks Mufasa exiled the hyenas which backfired in much the same way what about that shadowing place that's beyond all boys must never go there simple number nine Aladdin Aladdin morning ladies getting into trouble a little early today aren't we Aladdin trouble no way not a lot of characters in Aladdin come off well upon reflection and while it was tempting to give this entry to the sultan given that his incompetent rule leads to many of the other characters problems we had to ultimately choose the Title Character himself while he is a lovable Rogue Aladdin is also a thief although for the most part that's forgivable more importantly though Aladdin attempts to deceive Jasmine and the entire Kingdom in order to get what he wants which is basically exactly what Jafar is doing you really ought to be yourself hey that's the last thing I want to be okay I'm gonna go see her I just I gotta be smooth granted his motives are slightly better since they're out of a desire for love rather than power but he's still not exactly a paragon of virtue why did you lie to me Jasmine I'm sorry did you think I was stupid no that I wouldn't figure it out no I I mean I hoped you wouldn't number eight Woody Toy Story listen we love Woody but we have to admit that he can come across as kind of a jerk particularly in the first Toy Story film [Music] the play thing the cowboy toy bosses the other toys around by virtue of being Andy's favorite when he feels his position is threatened he tries to take Buzz out of the picture and ends up creating even more problems for himself wait a minute you you don't think I meant to knock Buzz out the window do you potato that's Mr Potato Head to you you backstabbing murderer now it was an accident guys come on now you you gotta believe me then there's the fact that he traumatizes Sid a nominal antagonist who's just a kid doing what kids do to toys he had no way of knowing they were intelligent sentient beings because of their need to keep the fact that they are alive a secret unless they need to scare children apparently boys can see everything so play nice no you play nice Woody I think the word you're searching for is Space Ranger the word I'm searching for I can't say because there's preschool toys present number seven Mr Potato Head Toy Story two characters from one movie yep Woody's jealousy may fuel plenty of conflict but so too does another one of Andy's toys Mr Potato Head I know Andy's excited about buzz but you know he'll always have a special place for you yeah like the attic sarcastic and snide Mr Potato had continuously needles Woody about Buzz supplanting him as Andy's new favorite and then when Woody accidentally knocks Buzz out the window Potato Head leads the charge in vilifying Woody for it didn't want to face the fact that buzz just might be Andy's new favorite toy so you got rid of him but what if Andy starts playing with me more Woody huh You're Gonna knock me out of the window too at every opportunity Woody has to come back Mr Potato Head is there to deny him is it jealousy or was Potato Head just that much of a jerk before meeting his wife whatever the reason this Bud certainly loves to stir the pot number six the elephant's Dumbo the titular young big-eared elephant faces plenty of adversities throughout the film almost from the moment of his birth due to being different from his peers is it possible isn't there some mistake just look at those the e a r s his fellow circus pachyderms mock him for his oversized lobes as does nearly everyone else he encounters after all who cares about her precious little jumbo jumbo you mean Dumbo Dumbo although it first protected by his mother they are separated when her protective nature is mistaken for General aggression despite being practically orphaned Dumbo isn't taken in by his fellow elephants who continue ridiculing him for a quirk of his genetics it's all the fault of that little f-r-e-a-k yes even with those ears that only a mother could love this leaves him without a support system and causes him to endure further embarrassment and hardships he sure is lucky he has Timothy Q Mouse don't forget that we elephants have always walked with dignity his disgrace is our own shame number five the enchantress Beauty and the Beast while we were tempted to choose the eponymous Beast for this entry given how many of his actions mirrored the actual villain gastons ultimately we found that the True Villain of the story is the enchantress who curses the beast in the first place and when he dismissed her again the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress after the prince rejects her request to spend the night in his castle based on her appearance which is a disguise by the way the enchantress condemns not only him to spend years as a monster but also curses his servants to spend years as objects for literally no reason and just punishment she transformed him into [Music] it sounds like entrapment and cruel and unusual punishment to us [Music] by your own cold heart a curse upon your house and all within it number four the nice Landers and Fix It Felix Jr Wreck-It Ralph it is what it is good job everyone he looks in the nice Landers go hang out in their homes which he's just fixed and everyone you know sometimes people don't live up to their names the nice Landers the inhabitants of the town that the title video game villain continuously wrecks consistently exclude Ralph from their lives as they believe that his role in the game defines who he is happy 30th anniversary they're having a party without me similarly they treat Fix-It Felix Jr as a good guy because that's his job speaking of which while Felix is generally more kind to Ralph than the others he's still rather ignorant of Ralph's feelings and prioritizes the needs of the nice Landers over Ralph Felix Felix pull yourself together no Ralph you don't know what it's like to be rejected and treated like a criminal that's every day of my life while all of them end up treating Ralph better eventually most of the film's events wouldn't have happened if they were just nice to someone they've known for ages I'm gonna wreck it number three King Triton The Little Mermaid Disney movies feature plenty of overprotective parents and arguably one of the worst examples of one who isn't overtly an antagonist is King Triton father of Ariel and the ruler of Atlantica Triton displays a callous hatred for and Prejudice towards humans you could have been seen by one of those barbarians by by one of those humans daddy they're not barbarians they are dangerous to you don't think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish eater's hook this causes conflict between him and his daughter who is fascinated by them I try to stop us she wouldn't listen I told her to stay away from humans they are bad they are traveling humans his Draconian rule pushes Ariel towards Reckless acts of rebellion to pursue her passions and Escape his ever tightening hold over her life I set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed is it true you rescued a human from drowning Daddy I had contact between the human world and the my world is strictly forbidden Ariel you know that additionally had Triton not exiled Ursula for unspecified reasons it's likely that Ariel would not have been able to turn to the sea witch for help though will grant that it may have been the villainous's lack of trustworthiness that led to her Exile in the first place yes I do number two Elsa and Anna's parents Frozen Elsa and Anna's parents the king and queen of Arendelle both love their daughters but their attempts at helping them cause much of the film's conflict following Elsa inadvertently injuring Anna with her powers the monarchs take Anna to some trolls to be healed do what you must I recommend we remove all magic memories of to be safe although the troll solution and cryptic advice also factor into the unfortunate events that follow the king and queen's misinterpretation of their advice leads them to isolate their daughters from one another lock the gates we'll reduce the staff we will limit her contact with people and keep her powers hidden from everyone including Anna it also causes Elsa to feel like there's something wrong with her which is definitely something that should be avoided when parenting the gloves will help see conceal it don't feel it don't let it show before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get

one Peter Pan Peter Pan [Music] stop playing Tinkerbell may be an attempted murderer but Peter Pan himself doesn't exactly have a spotless track record although he battles Pirates Peter doesn't really have the moral High Ground when he does stuff like cut off his enemy's hand and feed it to a crocodile good form when he did this to me cutting your Randolph was only a childish prank him outside why but throwing it to the crocodile even worse if you think about it Peter is an adult in the body of a child who lures a group of kids away from their parents house in the middle of the night to put them in dangerous life-threatening situations well come on Wendy let's go where are we going to Neverland Neverland Peter's taking us us not exactly heroic Behavior she says you're a big ugly girl do
