Top Ten Disney Characters that are Abusive Parents
She does everything to make life hard for Cinderella and will do anything she can to make sure she doesn't have a single moment of happiness like when she had her daughters Anastasia and Drizella rip apart Cinderella's dress which her mice friends help finish right before the ball.
She wasn't even that great a parent to her own daughters, whom she just spoiled with material things and groomed to be gold diggers.
He keeps Quasimodo locked up in the bell tower and constantly reminds him that he's ugly and deformed and during the festival of fools when Quasimodo is being strapped down and pelted with vegetables as everyone laughs at him Frollo simply stands there and allows it to continue in order to teach Quasi a painful lesson on why he never should have left the bell tower.
He's much worse than Lady Tremaine.
Mother Gothel is the main antagonist of Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. She is a wicked crone who retained youth for hundreds of years through the healing properties of a magic, golden flower. She kidnaps Rapunzeld as a baby and has her locked away in a tower away from everyone so she can horde her magic glowing her to keep herself young forever.
She's very manipulating towards Rapunzel.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz's parents treated him like crap all his life and treated his younger brother Roger as the favorite child.
Buck Cluck is a sorry excuse for a parent after Chicken Little claims that he was hit in the head from a piece of the sky Buck tells everyone it was an acorn which leads to the whole town to mock and harass Chicken Little as Buck continues to distance himself from his son not wanting him to do anything that could cause more humiliation for himself.
She literally tries to have her stepdaughter murdered out of jealousy because her mirror declared Snow White the fairest in the land.
Zira was a female lion and the leader of the Outsiders. She was the mother of Kovu, Nuka, and Vitani.
After Scar became the king of Pride Rock, he chose Zira's son, Kovu, to be his heir and protégé.
Maleficent is the main antagonist of Disney's 1959 animated feature film Sleeping Beauty. An evil fairy, Maleficent is an incarnation of pure evil, and is responsible for all misfortune in King Stefan's kingdom. Um, she's not a parent, and if she was, in her movie she cares for Aurora.
Great list. However, Medusa wasn't actually a parent. She had kidnapped Penny so she could get the Devil's Eye Diamond, but on the other it's VERY TRUE that she's abusive. So she still counts in a way. Also, Scar from The Lion King kinda counts too, at least if we include uncles.
