Best Disney Movie Henchmen
Vote or add who do you think is the best Disney Villain Henchmen.
The only Disney henchman who is physically handicapped, yet still manages to be menacing, hard-working, competent at his job, determined, really scary, and hilarious. He is my number one pick, even over Flotsam and Jetsam.
To be Ratigan's most trusted, you can't really make mistakes, and throughout the movie, Fidget pulls his weight until he physically can't anymore. RIP Fidget.
Iago is a fictional supporting character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 31st animated feature film Aladdin, the direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and the television series. A very comedic sidekick of Jafar, but also a major player in Jafar's schemes. For one thing, this parrot outsmarted Aladdin, who is known for his cleverness and guile, and helps brainstorm with Jafar.
Kronk is the secondary antagonist of Disney's 2000 animated feature film The Emperor's New Groove, and the titular main protagonist of 2005's Kronk's New Groove. Kronk often serves as Yzma's hapless henchman and a major component in her schemes to overthrow Emperor Kuzco. Autocorrect is horrible. The name is Kronk, not Krona.
The funniest character in this movie, and while he might not be malicious enough to actually kill Kuzco, the guy gets an A for effort. He has a lot of unexpected talents and gets a lot of laughs, and is this high on the list because of these merits. He also has great chemistry with Yzma.
These are some really competent Disney sidekicks and are often the number one pick for best Disney henchmen, with good reason. They help Ursula manipulate Ariel while also being great surveillance for the sea witch.
They intervene when needed, and are very cool-looking and creepy.
These henchmen are awesome! Not only are they incredibly creepy, but they are also actually competent, and Ursula loves them - to the point where she mourns their death and turns into a giant monster out of rage because Ariel killed her babies. Aw.
LeFou is Gaston's best friend, unimaginably loyal, and gives a much-needed pep talk to the big guy. He gets beaten down a lot by Gaston, but is the only guy Gaston trusts and confides in.
LeFou also has a bunch of other guys to serve as the muscle and is quite the survivor, waiting out winter for Belle to come home on Gaston's behalf.
If you are going to be the pet of Walt Disney's greatest villain, you have to earn your spot. This bird commands an army of dim-witted, but strong, vicious, and creepy-looking goons, and is the reason why Maleficent won her personal victory.
This bird is remarkably sharp and suspicious, and Maleficent treats Diablo with love and respect, even going out to avenge him when he dies.
They play a very important role in The Lion King's plot, and really, they only endure setbacks because of bad luck. As funny as they are, they are a real menace to the hero, and Scar made a big mistake by turning on them.
Of all of the numerous henchmen Prince John has, this anthropomorphic crocodile is the best one. He gives Robin Hood the toughest fight and manages to trap him in the castle.
The most dangerous villains in the movie. They would be ranked higher if it weren't for the fact that they serve one of the most incompetent Disney villains ever. That is why Helga Sinclair, despite being a much better character than her boss, is not in the top ten.
However, they nearly eat Bernard, manage to track down and return the kidnapped girl who constantly escapes, and give the swamp animals much more trouble than the human antagonists. It helps that they are crocodiles who do not take abuse kindly and try to eat the main villain in the end.
The Newcomers
Although he is a Disney movie villain henchman and a sidekick to Stromboli, I don't even know if he was a good character.
Lampwick, the Donkey, is always a baddie and attacks Pinocchio.
Dangerous, mysterious, and up to her redemption, lethally competent.
It's sad that we don't get to see them often - they really are menacing while possibly having the most personality in the movie. Sykes treats them well enough until they screw up.
They also get some gruesome deaths for trying to kill the heroes. They are way more competent than Jasper and Horace, at least.
He's very aware that he's a sidekick to a villain, yet he's very friendly and polite. Also, he's voiced by Frank Oz.
The best character in the best Disney film. He is a lot like Kaa (complete with hypnosis), and while both villains are great, I have to give Hiss the upper hand on this one. He puts up with his boss, and some of the most hilarious scenes are when Prince John whacks the snake with a mirror or a stick and chases him around.
I'm amazed he wasn't on this list originally.
Sir Hiss is so cute, but I hate the way Prince John treats him. All he's trying to do is help, and in return, what does he get? Abuse!
Prince John is hilarious with his snobbish British attitude, but he can definitely be annoying too!
He reminds me of Mr. Smee from Peter Pan and Lefou from Beauty and the Beast.
They are so funny, and they always fail at being evil. I love them so much!
Without the mirror, the Queen wouldn't have been jealous of Snow White in the first place. I'd say it's pretty underrated, though, despite the fact that it caused most of the problems.
Underrated character, even if it made the Queen jealous in the first place.
