Best Animated Movie Villains
The Top Ten
Scar is the main antagonist of Disney's 1994 animated feature film, The Lion King. He was the second son of Ahadi and Uru — who were, at one time, King and Queen of the Pride Lands — the younger brother of Mufasa, and the uncle of Simba. Born by the greatest company of animation, lived and died with the voice of the awesome Jeremy Irons.
Inspired by Hitler, history's most evil human.
Without magical powers, he destroyed almost an entire continent. No other Disney villain has done that before.
Even for a lion, Scar shown to have more human cruelty than any other villain.
He also made the most crying moment of Disney history, Mufasa's death.
He even sang the greatest villain song, about killing his own brother and his nephew. That's even more sick than Claude Frollo
I LOVE SCAR! There, I said it. Isn't it funny how I want to stab Simba while I love Scar? Definitely the best villain ever, second only to the Gremlins from Gremlins 1 and 2.
He killed his own brother to conquer his kingdom and attempted to kill his nephew more than once.
Yes, he is the best. He's cunning, cruel, and not afraid to condemn little cubs to a lifetime of guilt.
Lord Shen was a perfect and clever animated villain I ever seen and he's my 2nd animated villian along with scar. How come a albino peacock who can be a psychopath and skilled was just great, DreamWorks do a great job of making this villain. I like how he was voiced by Gary Goldman, it was just astounding and he does a fantastic job for voicing this character. I think I like him better as a villain than Tai Lung from the first film, even though KFP 2 was a great sequel and it's better than the original is my opinion.
Not only voiced by Gary Oldman, this guy is a classy bastard. That thing he does with the throwing knives in his tail is effing amazing to see. Plus, unlike Tai Lung, who was understandably pissed because of what Oogway and Shifu did to him, Shen was pretty much evil through and through, while still being an elaborate character who had his reasons to do what he did - crappy, selfish reasons, but still. He in fact does remind me a bit of Scar from The Lion King, maybe because of his class, his swag or his lust for power (the fact that he looks cool as hell doesn't hurt either); doesn't matter, he's still probably my favorite animated villain ever.
One of the only complaints I had about the first Kung Fu Panda movie is that the villain, Tai Lung, felt kinda weak. Not that he was bad, but I am SOOO glad DreamWorks stepped up their villain game for the second film. Lord Shen is just amazing. He is a leucistic peacock with an astounding character design, an incredibly fitting balletic fighting style, astonishingly cleverly and sharply written dialogue, a wonderful character arc, and, in case you're not impressed by all that, he's voiced with the ultimate cunning and charm by Gary Oldman, one of the greatest actors in every sense of the word. Lord Shen is probably my favorite magnificent bastard in any film ever (next to Heath Ledger's Joker in the Dark Knight). This guy needs more recognition, not just in being an animated villain, not just being a Gary Oldman character (but he also needs recognition for that ASAP), but being a villain in film in general. We all see Jack Torrence, the Wicked Witch of the West, Hannibal Lecter and ...more
A red and white iron badass with a ribbon, feather kunai, and spiral spear to fight with. And that's not even mentioning his kicking thorns, normal feathers, and a tongue sharper than any of the aforementioned weapons.
He also has so much character! They made it obvious he's neither fully a villain (though he leans mostly that way) nor is he at all a hero. He committed genocide against the pandas, for Oogway's sake!
As a Christian frollo in my opinion is the most evil villain, for he does so many evil things in the name of the lord. And he dies by falling into hell! (I think, that's what they made it look like) with no powers, and the fact that he's an old man makes his evil more impressive. He lusts for, and gropes Esmeralda at one point, keeps Quasimodo prisoner for all his life, just because he's ugly, and burns innocent families house down for no reason, other than that he was slightly annoyed! Frollo is my all time favorite Disney villain, and he is no doubt the most evil
Where do I even begin with this guy? He kills an innocent woman, tries to drown her baby, locks him in a tower, lusts over women, plans to burn them alive, offers their freedom for bow chicka bow wow, and burns whole villages...all while claiming to be and I quote, "a righteous man" and "so much purer than the common vulgar weakling" DAMN!
21, how is Judge Claude Frollo only number 21. He is PURE EVIL, he burns people alive, lust after younger women, murders people and he is only number 21.
He kills a woman for no reason locks quasimodo away, burns a house, refrences everything bad in life, trys to kill his own captain, completly destroys paris all for 1 gysypy not even the devil wanted him lol!
Chernabog is a Disney villain from the 1940s film Fantasia, and in his segment, "A Night on Bald Mountain". Isn't he like the devil?
He is the most evil Disney villain.chernabogsatan is very powerful
He’s amazing. He’s powerful, and the most evil Disney a villain ever! Step aside Scar! CHERNABOG IS A BETTER DISNEY VILLAIN THAN YOU!
He's also one of the gods in mythology in Greece. But the Disney version looks so sofisticated compared to the original story of Greek gods and other adaptations besides Disney.
This is the funniest guy ever!
I love this character.

While Wallace and his silent companion Gromit ran a humane pest control business, Lord Quartermaine and his pitbull were a little more ruthless.
A hunter with old fashioned tactics involving pest control with a small pitbull for a sidekick.
JERK! "If I can't have your money, I can still bag your bunny! " I still laugh at that part!
This geezer was wel jel of eccentric cheese scoffing inventor Wallace and his ever faithful companion Gromit.
She was sick and tired of making miniscule profits so she bought a pie machine to kill the chickens.
An insane villain voiced by Miranda Richardson of all people.

She's the brains behind the 2 Tweedys. Mr Tweedy is the lacky of the pair.
Syndrome (born as Buddy Pine) is the primary antagonist in The Incredibles. He wanted to be super like the others, even though he had no powers. He was Mr. Incredible's #1 fan, and dubbed himself "Incrediboy," but he was rejected by Mr. Incredible. Angered after being refused, he developed an evil plan ...read more. The result of a crushed childhood dream, Jason Lee's Syndrome rocked the big screen with his unique hairdo and even more unique superpowers.
Syndrome is a perfect combination of smart, funny, menacing, and nerdy just the best villain in an animated movie

Ok really number 11 Jafar? No he should be number one! He's so hilarious and sarcastic and he is so cute in his robe with black and red on him aw he's so cute
BEST Disney VILLAIN IN MY BOOK, should be in the top 5. He is evil, powerful, and also funny. Why is he not higher on this list
A certain top 10. He has done anything he could to win. However he gave a blank in the law. It makes his failure completed.
LOSER! And he looks like he's a thousand years old!
Forced his former best friends, chuckles and Big Baby, to serve him, had any toy who disobeyed him killed, and was a downright tyrant.
He might smell sweet but he's a rotten strawberry! I never thought I'd see the day I hated a teddy bear...
HEY! Where is Captain Chantel Dubois from Madagascar 3! She is one of the best villains!
Strawberry scented never smelled so rotton.
The Contenders
This guy is mad with power and overall sadistic. He's smart he's funny, and really underrated. I mean the place is over polluted by homers pig crap silo, so quarantine the town if you must but don't trap the people, and when the place gets worse and worse, and soon Springfield gets driven into an apocalypse, so what does he do? He plans to blow it up with a nuclear bomb! And when Bart and homer save the town, he still wants them to die, by pointing a shotgun at them.. But his defeat was pretty pathetic by just getting a rock dropped on him by a toddler, but still not a bad villain for the Simpsons first movie.
He means well on the basis that it's the Environmental Protection Agency's job to contain life threatening situations against global warming. However Russ Cargill is a bit on the power hungry side.
A corrupt head of the Environmental Protection Agency who's power went to his head, only to fall for one of Bart's crank call names (the treasure of Ima Weiner) and a toddler named Maggie.
He's practically Donald Trump 10 years before Trump was even president.
Lord Farquaad is the main antagonist of the 2001 animated feature film, Shrek, as well as Shrek 4D. He is voiced by John Lithgow. "Ya think he's compensating for something? " Yes, Shrek. Yes I do.
So drek for my shrek
Best bad guy ever!
He is not disny
Gaston is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast. Starts out as a side character with a crush but allows envy to turn him into the murderous main antagonist
LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking... (A dangerous pastime) I know...but that wacky old coot is Belle's father and his sanity's only so-so...

This dinosaur is just evil. He kills the main characters mom, pretends to be dead, destroyed Littlefoots treestar his mom gave him, and almost killed Petrie. All for accidentally losing an eye! Not to mention aside from the carnotours from Dinosaur and the tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park Sharptooth is the only dinosaur to ever scare me. Also HE RIPS OFF FLESH ON CAMMERA! You know for kids. Sharptooth terrifying earth for the last 65 million years.
Was scrolling through looking for the most interesting and twisted villain. See this and immediately remember my childhood trauma. How was this film for kids he’s so scary
He doesn't really get any character development, but he doesn't need to. You can say he's pure evil by his appearance. No movie (even Jurassic Park) ever managed to catch T-rex's bestial rageful nature so well.
How is he not on the list? He rips of flesh on camera.
His hairpiece is just scary, and he doesn't care about anyone. In the first five minutes he's already made Vitruvius blind, and then he goes on to kill him!
Is simply diabolical because he killed vitruvius and forced bad cop to glue his own parents
Did you know that he became a good guy in the end?

Not many animated villains have been able sto sexually abuse Satan of all people, yeat Saddam Hussein has.
He's really funny in this movie.
Saddam is more evil and crazy than Satan himself! Satan even stated that Saddam is insane!
Not only is he based on my most favorite animal, he is also a villain whose overbearing pride prevented him from being good. His lust for more power clouded his mind, and was willing to kill even his own master and foster father to achieve his goal. He deserved more screen time then he had.
A very complex character that deserves to return in a sequel to the franchise. I feel like he can be a hero again despite of his past deeds. Still, I would love to see him return and learn more from this amazing character.
He look tuff and acts very evil.
AWESOME GUY! And his kung-fu...

Villain in the sense that Metro man was a superhero and for once the supervillain triumphed.
As Hilarious he is, Megamind shouldn't count as a villian. He is more of a Anti-Hero
My favorite Dreamworks character ever
This guy gives me the creeps!
One of Red Rackham's ancestors
Also known as one of Red Rackham's ansestors
He Scared Me When I Was 3 Back In 1997
I LOVE THIS GUY!

Felonius Gru is the main character of Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, and Despicable Me 3, alongside Mel and a minor character in Minions. I hate him with his stupid annoying banana-loving henchmen!
And I hate this movie.
Gru is the top. Gru is the baddest villain ever. He can win any villain.
Voiced by Steve Carell, the real villain was voiced by Jason Segel
Same with Megamind he is the main character in the movie
One of my favorite Disney villains. Funny, witty, charming, a great singer, she's awesome!
