Best Animated Movie Villains

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. - RedTheGremlin

He killed his own brother to conquer his kingdom and attempted to kill his nephew more than once. - PeeledBanana

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

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.

He's the most cunning, skilled, stylish and resourceful villain there is.

This is the funniest guy ever!

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.

I love this character. - RedTheGremlin

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.

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...

How is Maleficent so far down on the list? She was the best Disney villain of all time. That new movie must have ruined her. In her original film, she cursed a baby because she wasn't invited to a party!

Oh, yes. The scene where she appears in the fireplace scared me as a little kid and became my favorite part to this day! - RedTheGremlin

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.

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.

How is he not on the list? He rips of flesh on camera.

Which sharptooth there's a million sharp teeth!

This thing is scary... That's it he's is so #@$%&! ing scary!

My second favorite Disney villain, I put here above scar even!

She's just evil, so evil I almost love her. She is upset about her villainous mate's death and cannot see clearly. She trains Kovu to avenge her beloved Scar.
Honestly, Zira's pretty evil.

I love her - RedTheGremlin

Villain in the sense that Metro man was a superhero and for once the supervillain triumphed.

My favorite Dreamworks character ever - RedTheGremlin

This guy gives me the creeps!

Voiced by Will Ferrell, the real villain was voiced by Jonah Hill - 445956

One eye is one of the worst villains of all time like Lord voldemort from Harry Potter and indominus Rex from Jurassic world. And I know he's gone for good by being eaten by tylosaurus in the ocean where SpongeBob and finding nemo live.

While Wallace and his silent companion Gromit ran a humane pest control business, Lord Quartermaine and his pitbull were a little more ruthless. - Bender0

A hunter with old fashioned tactics involving pest control with a small pitbull for a sidekick. - Dale

JERK! "If I can't have your money, I can still bag your bunny! " I still laugh at that part!

Did you know that he became a good guy in the end?

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

One of my favorite Disney villains. Funny, witty, charming, a great singer, she's awesome!

He has possibly the weirdest plan ever, which is why he's AWESOME!

This is lower than "Honest John?! " He's the MAIN Villain! - Navylexi

I love this film. I think we need to stop hating on it. This is my all time favorite DC film ever. Plus, I Go Looney is a perfect Villain song. The Joker’s lines are so memorable, and Mark Hamill is more Iconic than Heath Ledger. - asantalo

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.

Not many animated villains have been able sto sexually abuse Satan of all people, yeat Saddam Hussein has.

Saddam is more evil and crazy than Satan himself! Satan even stated that Saddam is insane!

No more Mr. Nice Guy, not for me!

I like him because he looks like a lizard and I love reptiles - RedTheGremlin

Randall is a stupid villain and he always wants to be a scare leader.

He's hiding under your bed...

How the hell is she not on the top ten? She takes sad children from their homes and brings her into her false world and made them so happy they wanted to stay. And when they do want to stay SHE FORCES THEM TO SEW BUTTONS ON THEIR EYES AND EATS THEIR SOULS! And when Coraline refused SHE TURNS INTO A HUMANOID DISASTER! She holds Coraline's parents hostage in a snowball thingie and forces Coraline to participate in three sick and twisted games and when Coraline nearly won she turns into an even worse form which made her look like a chimera spider, and it proceeds to chase Coraline in a way so terrifying it scared an adult audience. ( Am I the only one ranting about this?!?! )

I used to love this character so much that I almost named a stuffed bird after him, but my parents told me no. - RedTheGremlin

I will not be made the weak link!

Absolute badass of the jungle

That name alone is scary!

One of the most charismatic animated villains of all time

A drop of desire, a pinch of passion, and just a hint of lust...

Much better than rumplestiltskin prince charming or lord #@$%&*! wad I mean farquad

I just notice your scar goes OVER your eyepatch...

To be honest, I actually think she's prettier than Snow White.

So you won't be a part of my evil plan but I'm gonna be top of the woods!

SCARY CREEPY AND ALL OVER A PAIN IN THE BUTT!

Burn this "thing"i hell please

I like him - RedTheGremlin

I love this villain. I even love the Jade armies. Best villain among all three movies.

There are 2 buttons behind this desk. One will supply your town with power, the other releases the hounds. - jezza0
