Title: Villains
Post by: tigger1974 on August 22, 2015, 11:10:38 PM
We all secretly love the bad guys don't we? Well I certainly do!  So who is the ultimate Disney bad guy (or girl)?
My personal top 3 are:

3     Captain Hook
2     Maleficent
1    Chernabog

I'm sure you'll all have different opinions so I eagerly await your replies

My absolute favourite has to be Dr Facilier, met him when we were there in 2010, thought he was awesome. Close second got to be Hades, I know you never see him at a park so hope it counts. Third is Jafar, again met him a few times in previous trips and always great interaction with him 😁

I can't make a top 3. The villains are my absolute favourite!
My little evil black heart would break into pieces if I could only pick 3 of them.

1. Maleficent
2. Oogie Boogie
3. Gaston
4. Chernabog
5. Frollo
6. Hades
7. Evil Queen
8. Lady Tremaine
9. Cruella de Vil
10. Every other villain

Top 3, but not in any particular order:
Cheshire Cat, Maleficent, Dr Facilier.
There's plenty of other villains I like, but those I like best.
And yes, officially the Cheshire Cat is listed with the villains, don't ask me why, I fail to see the logic in that one too.

OK let's defend the honour of the Cheshire Cat here!  Officially listed he may be but come on....a villain?  Really?  I think someone at Disney obviously doesn't like him lol. A little mischievous he may be but surely he can't be grouped alongside Chernabog, Maleficent, The Queen etc.
Let's unite behind the Cheshire Cat! He is being done a great injustice  :(
I do agree that he is a brilliant character though.

Tigger1974 has Chernabog as an Avatar. He's a big demon from Fantasia. :)

As for the Cheshire Cat being a villain... not really.
There's no actual Malice there I think, just carelessness I imagine (not mentioning things etc.). :)

Thanks DisneyRon, never really liked the fantasia one myself so that's why I didn't know lol 😁

Chernabog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLCuL-K39eQ)

He also used to be on the villain's float in the old Once upon a Dream Parade, not as a character but as part of the float itself.

The villains are the reason we try to catch the Halloween season, it is so much fun. My top 3 are...Cruella, she chased my oldest daughter through frontierland when she was about 5 as she had on a spotty furry coat, it was hilarious, the CM tried to stop her but she just yelled "puppies" and shot after her! Maleficent, on meeting her I revealed excitedly that she was my favourite to which she replied with a look of distain "Of course I am". Finally Captain Hook, we were all booing the baddies float during the parade (a very British panto thing I know) when Hook turned to us, shook his fist and shot off the cannon in a puff of smoke. My husband was bending over in the backpack at the time and almost wet himself. Hook started laughing and pointing and brought Jafar over to point and laugh too. Oh the meanies!

I love the interaction with the villains! It's always enjoyable :)

It's a hard category - the villains are pretty much all without redeeming features, but Frollo, Gaston and Dr Facilier are amongst those who I would call nasty but not truly evil. I think for pure evil, it makes the ultimate villains:

1. Evil Queen
2. Hades
3. Maleficent

My favourite is probably King Candy - I like the plot!

I told Captain Hook that I thought he was fantastic and he gave me a huge cuddle and posed for a fantastic photo!  Also I curtseyied to both The Queen of Hearts and Maleficent and they both responded to me.
They really are the best!

It would seem that Maleficent seems to be a lot of people's favourite. So I take pleasure in naming "The Mistress of all Evil" the ultimate villain.  How about we add a little"sub plot" to our little topic and think about some lesser known villains?
In this case my favourites are:
3 Professor Ratigan
2 The Horned King
1 The Headless Horseman

Once again I look forward to hearing your responses - and it doesn't matter if you can't meet and greet the character just nominate your favourite.

Again in no particular order:

Professor Ratigan (come-on, voiced by Vincent Price!) - The Great Mouse Detective
Randall - Monsters Inc
Silver - Treasure Planet
Also from Treasure Planet I loved Scroop :)
The Horned King from Black Cauldron is a really awesome one too, but I prefer those others :)

Wouldn't it be amazing though if they did Horned King meet and greets for the Halloween season! That would be so fitting!

I think the first thing I knew of evil in this world as a child was Lady Tremane, but Ursala is frightening!

Post by: Mitchell on September 16, 2015, 09:06:08 AM
1. Jafar
2. Ursula
3. Yzma

All this talk is getting me so excited about who we will see this time 6 sleeps and counting! 2nd to 10th and then a drive to Bergerac to soak up some last rays of sun. ;D
