Top Ten Disney Movies with a Surprise Villain Twist

A lot of Disney moveis nowadays use the overused suprise villian twist, which really gets annoying however, that doesn't mean they're bad! Some of them are really excellent! Here's the best of them!
The Top Ten
1 Toy Story 2

This is easily the best Disney movie that has a twist villain in it! Some people may say this shouldn't be here because it has three villains, but two of them are minor. The main antagonist is a surprise villain: Stinky Pete the Prospector! He is a really clever villain too! Probably the second-best villain in the trilogy. The other two villains are Al and Zurg. Zurg is my favorite villain by far due to how he references Darth Vader and his design! Why is this labeled as the worst Toy Story movie again?

2 Big Hero 6

This is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. It's just so great! This movie is technically a Marvel movie as well, so that could also be the reason I love it so much! This movie has everything: story, emotion, characters, and even the twist villain is great! Robert Callaghan, a professor whose daughter was stuck in a portal dimension after an accident, takes revenge on Krei, who was the leader of the portal experiment. This movie is so awesome! My favorite character is Baymax due to how funny he is. This is easily the best non-Pixar Disney movie!

3 Monsters, Inc.

This is truly an excellent movie! Very nostalgic! I don't see how anyone could find this movie bad. The story is really creative and an example of a "thinking outside the box" movie. This movie also has a surprise villain that many people forget: Henry Waternoose III. His motivations are really great as all he really wants to do is keep his company alive. This movie is just amazing!

The twist was kind of predictable, but it was decent.

4 Wreck-It Ralph

This is one of the most unique Disney movies! It's a masterpiece! The way the movie is executed is incredible, and the whole idea of it is just amazing! The story is extremely good as well! The villain is excellent too! Turbo, a racing character whose game got shut down, designed a new racing game known as Sugar Rush. Really awesome! For some reason, Bowser was my favorite character, even though he only had a small cameo.

This was the only twist villain that Disney got right.

King Candy being Turbo, I didn't expect that.

5 Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Very underrated movie! Yes, the villain sucked big time, but the story was pretty good! The animation was really impressive, and the atmosphere was good as well. A great movie!

6 Up

Truly an excellent movie! Although I consider it to be one of Pixar's weaker movies, I must admit that it is super emotional. The villain's reveal is also quite emotional. It's sad to see your childhood idol actually being a supervillain. Truly sad!

7 Frozen

Both an overrated and overhated movie. People, for some reason, hate the villain very much. But the reason Hans turned evil is to teach kids that you shouldn't trust people you just met. Really good movie!

8 Coco
9 Cars 2

The movie that started this whole trend! Not Wreck-It Ralph! Anyways, this movie is truly overhated. I will admit that it feels a bit random, and Cars 3 felt more like a sequel to the original, but this is still a great movie! The villain's plan is a bit messed up, but it's still a great movie!

10 Zootopia

That is literally the only Disney villain twist on this list I didn't see coming. Great movie too!

Am I the only one who thought Bellwether was decent?

Worst twist villain, great movie.

The Contenders
11 The Incredibles
12 Toy Story 3
13 Wall-E

I'm adding this movie to the list because of the fact that AUTO isn't explicitly portrayed as a villain when you first see him.

14 Meet the Robinsons

Probably the most underrated Disney twist villain movie alongside Sky High and Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

15 Sky High

Though the twist villain in this was kind of predictable, it sure didn't ruin my overall enjoyment of this movie.

This movie is so underrated that it's actually kind of tragic.

16 Spider-Man: Far from Home

In all honesty, the predictability of this movie's villain twist was the only major problem I remotely had with it. Other than that, it is even better than the thoroughly charming first movie, but still not as amazing as the third.

17 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
18 Incredibles 2
19 Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe
20 Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I was at least slightly wrong. The REAL twist villain in this movie is DJ, not exactly the Master Codebreaker (though DJ is still a codebreaker himself).

21 The Parent Trap (1998)

Does Meredith count? I feel as though she does.

22 Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

If the original trilogy didn't already exist, then yes, Anakin would count as a twist villain, and so would Chancellor Palpatine to a lesser extent.

23 Tarzan
24 Beauty and the Beast

Gaston was always portrayed as a selfish prick from the very first second you see him on screen, but much like Clayton from Tarzan, he doesn't exactly start off as the epitome of evil.
