Top 10 Best Disney Movie Henchmen

Fidget the Bat (The Great Mouse Detective)

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 (Aladdin)

Iago is a fictional character from Walt Disney Pictures' 1992 animated film Aladdin. He also appears in the direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves. In addition, he is featured in the Aladdin 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 (The Emperor's New Groove)

Kronk is a character from Disney's 2000 animated film The Emperor's New Groove, where he serves as the secondary antagonist. He later became the main protagonist of the 2005 sequel Kronk's New Groove.

Often portrayed as Yzma's well-meaning but bumbling henchman, Kronk is also known for his love... read more

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.

Diablo the Raven (Sleeping Beauty)

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.

Flotsam and Jetsam (The Little Mermaid)

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 (Beauty and the Beast)

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.

Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed (The Lion King)

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.

Sir Hiss (Robin Hood)

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!

Mr. Smee (Peter Pan)

Brutus and Nero (The Rescuers)

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.

Honest John and Gideon (Pinocchio)

?

Mirage (The Incredibles)

Dangerous, mysterious, and up to her redemption, lethally competent.

Roscoe and DeSoto (Oliver & Company)

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.

Mr. Snoops (The Rescuers)

Magic Mirror (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

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.

Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood)

Pain and Panic (Hercules)

They are so funny, and they always fail at being evil. I love them so much!

Fungus (Monsters, Inc.)

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.

Sour Bill (Wreck-It Ralph)

Lawrence (The Princess and the Frog)

He reminds me of Mr. Smee from Peter Pan and Lefou from Beauty and the Beast.
