00:00What's the matter, beast?
00:03Too kind and gentle to fight back!
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo,
00:08and today we're counting down our picks for times a despicable character got what they deserved.
00:13We'll be getting into spoilers for various animated movies, so consider this your warning.
00:18Oh, must this all end in violence?
00:21I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member.
00:26Wouldn't you agree, Simba?
00:28Number 30, Starscream, The Transformers, The Movie
00:32There's Snakes, and then there's Starscream.
00:36While many fans have grown to love this slimy, no-good-backstabbing Decepticon,
00:41it's obvious he was going to get what he deserved eventually.
00:44Though Starscream managed to briefly knock Megatron down a peg when he was injured,
00:49he didn't actually die.
00:51Oh, how it pains me to do this!
00:54Wait, I still function!
00:59Wanna bet?
01:01Starscream!
01:04The rightful leader of the Decepticons instead was transformed into Galvatron.
01:09Once Galvatron caught back up to Starscream, he made sure to give him the business.
01:14Within seconds, Starscream was gunned down at the very same time that he was supposed to be crowned as the
01:20new Decepticon boss.
01:22Megatron? Is that you?
01:24Here's a hint!
01:34Not only did he get killed for his treachery, but he was also humiliated by Galvatron.
01:40The traitorous scoundrel Starscream was put right where he belonged, at the bottom.
01:45Number 29. McLeach – The Rescuers Down Under
01:49McLeach is a nasty dude who hunts and captures animals to sell them for profit.
01:55Say, where'd you get this pretty feather, boy?
01:57It was a present.
01:59Oh, that's real nice. Who gave it to you?
02:02It's a secret.
02:04That's no secret, boy. You see, I already got the father.
02:10Since he's an evil poacher, it means he can't be allowed to have a happy ending.
02:15Thankfully, he doesn't.
02:16McLeach's downfall starts when he gets trapped in Crocodile Falls.
02:20That's a place within the movie that has, you guessed it, a ton of crocodiles.
02:25Surprisingly, McLeach is actually able to survive this initial encounter, as crazy as that sounds.
02:31However, that's quickly corrected when McLeach goes over a waterfall and is taken down to his demise.
02:43Honestly, we've got to give some props for surviving the crocodiles,
02:47but McLeach couldn't escape Mother Nature in the end.
02:50That's what you get for messing with animals.
02:52Sorry, not sorry.
02:54Number 28. Jafar – Aladdin 2 – The Return of Jafar
02:59Jafar was taken down once already by his connection to a magical lamp in the first Aladdin movie,
03:04and this terrible track record would continue in the second movie.
03:08When Jafar's bird servant, Iago, has a change of heart,
03:12he rebels against his former boss and ruffles some feathers.
03:16Hey, Jafar!
03:17Shut up!
03:21Iago?
03:22Traitor!
03:24This leads to Iago sending the lamp down a pit of scorching hot lava.
03:28Since the lamp gets submerged under molten magma, it obviously gets destroyed.
03:34But since Jafar is tethered to the lamp, its destruction causes him to die too.
03:39Consumed by agony, Jafar disintegrates as he and his magical influence are completely undone.
03:54It's a haunting way for a villain to die,
03:57and there's no doubt that it was excruciatingly painful for Jafar.
04:01Ouch.
04:02Number 27. Lord Shen – Kung Fu Panda 2
04:06Lord Shen is as despicable as they come.
04:09His hatred of pandas led to mass casualties, including the deaths of Poe's biological parents.
04:16You... you were there.
04:18Yes. Yes, I was.
04:23While Shen was an incredibly prejudiced peacock,
04:26his bitterness helped prove to be the downfall of this gunpowder-crazed maniac.
04:31In his final fight against Poe, which takes place on a ship,
04:35he accidentally cuts a rope holding a cannon.
04:37The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.
04:42You're right.
04:43Then I choose you.
04:46The dangerous object crushes Shen,
04:49and the cannon's gunpowder also ends up destroying the ship.
04:52Interestingly, when Lord Shen notices the cannon about to crush him,
04:56he closes his eyes,
04:58potentially making peace with the fact that his own rage killed him.
05:02Regardless, it's yet another instance of a bad guy getting their just desserts.
05:06Number 26, Dennis, the Spongebob Squarepants movie
05:11Spongebob and Patrick had a lot on their hands when they had to deal with Dennis.
05:15Finally,
05:18I got you right where I want you.
05:22Uh, can I help you with something, sir?
05:25Name's Dennis.
05:26I've been hired to exterminate you.
05:29He was a hitman Plankton hired to destroy the duo and stop them from getting Neptune's crown.
05:34Dennis was a skilled assassin, and everything seemed like it was working in his favor.
05:39He had the two cornered while they were standing on actor David Hasselhoff's back.
05:44Uh, that's a long story, don't ask.
05:46Anyway, as Dennis was close to achieving his plans,
05:49he was struck by an overpass, eradicating him permanently.
05:53I threw messin' around!
05:55See you later, fools!
06:01While it wasn't explicitly stated that he died,
06:04it's a safe assumption considering this was his last moment on the big screen.
06:08If it's any consolation,
06:09death via David Hasselhoff is one unique way to go out.
06:13Number 25, Madam Gasket, Robots
06:16This robot was insanely cruel.
06:19But you don't need us to tell you that.
06:21Seriously, just look at that cold, monstrously mechanical design.
06:26Alright!
06:27Break time!
06:31Alright, break time's over!
06:33Chop chop!
06:34Besides her unsettling appearance,
06:36her occupation is also seriously messed up.
06:39She runs a chop shop that melts down deactivated robots and strips them for parts.
06:44Yeah, there's nothing very nice about Madam Gasket.
06:47Luckily, this evil lady gets exactly what she deserves.
06:50In an explosive final battle,
06:53Gasket gets thrown into an incinerator.
06:55What are you doing?
06:57Get off me!
06:59Let me go!
07:00Do as I said!
07:02Get off!
07:03Ouch.
07:04Matter of fact, she died by her own incinerator.
07:07That's right, the chop shop chopped her up too.
07:10Madam Gasket was burnt and ultimately discarded,
07:13just like all the robots she put through her shop.
07:15How's that for ironic?
07:16Number 24, Turbo, Wreck-It Ralph.
07:20Despite also being known as King Candy,
07:23there's nothing sweet about this guy.
07:25Hello, my loyal subject!
07:29Ha ha!
07:29Have some candy!
07:33Thank you for that stirring introduction!
07:36He's a harsh monarch from the video game Sugar Rush.
07:39And while merged with a cybug, a nasty creature from another game,
07:43he meets a bitter end.
07:45His death happens when he gets lured towards a beacon of light
07:48created from a fusion of Mentos and Diet Coke.
07:51The fusion is deadly.
07:52And as Turbo goes into the light, he's killed.
07:55What makes this so chilling is that Turbo actually tried to get away from the beacon,
07:59but the instincts of his new body led him toward the light regardless.
08:03Love!
08:05Go into the light!
08:09Turbo thought this merger with a cybug would be another sweet power-up,
08:14but it ended up being a sour death wish instead.
08:17Number 23, Oogie Boogie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
08:21This nasty creature was a gigantic terror that kidnapped Santa Claus
08:26and tried taking over Christmas in the process.
08:29Well, well, well.
08:31What have we here?
08:33Santa Claus, huh?
08:35Ooh, I'm really scared!
08:38It's a good thing he failed, though,
08:39because our favorite pile of bones, Jack Skellington,
08:42stepped up and took Oogie Boogie down.
08:45More specifically, Jack exploited a critical weakness of this boogeyman.
08:49Since Oogie Boogie's body was more or less a burlap sack,
08:52Jack was able to pull out a loose thread,
08:55which caused the creature to completely unravel.
08:57Now look what you've done!
09:02Instead of his guts spilling out of his body,
09:04a bunch of bugs spilled out,
09:06and Oogie Boogie ceased to exist.
09:08Oogie Boogie was quite literally the definition of hanging by a thread.
09:12This was a great victory for Jack,
09:14but also, bugs spilling out everywhere?
09:16Ew!
09:18Number 22, Rasputin, Anastasia.
09:21The magical menace known as Rasputin
09:24has sworn revenge on the Romanov family
09:26since he was exiled from Russia by Tsar Nicholas,
09:29aka the father of Anastasia.
09:31I knew it!
09:33I could feel the dark forces stirring!
09:36I'm not surprised because I saw her!
09:39Anastasia!
09:40Anastasia?
09:42Alive?
09:43Sir, your lips, they're, um...
09:45That Romanov!
09:47Blah!
09:47Blinded by rage,
09:49Rasputin ends up doing some pretty despicable things
09:52that cement him as a truly wicked villain.
09:55Case in point,
09:56he curses the whole Romanov family,
09:58and tries murdering Anastasia to fulfill his revenge.
10:02Luckily, Anastasia is able to finally break the family curse
10:05when she destroys a magical reliquary.
10:08This causes a chain reaction
10:09where the mad monk is gruesomely destroyed.
10:12This is for Dimitri!
10:16Give him back!
10:17This is for my family!
10:20I'll tell you the pieces!
10:23And this, this is for you!
10:25Das Bidanya!
10:31He's turned into a skeleton
10:33as his skin melts in epic fashion,
10:35and he disintegrates into nothingness.
10:38Rasputin's death is a timely warning
10:40for how the path to revenge can destroy you.
10:43Number 21.
10:45The Horned King.
10:46The Black Cauldron.
10:47Pretty much every villain is after a MacGuffin,
10:50and the Horned King is no different.
10:52He's a seriously creepy skeleton-looking bad guy
10:55who wants to find the Black Cauldron.
10:58Soon the Black Cauldron will be mine.
11:03Its evil power will course through my veins.
11:09With it, he could summon the undead
11:11and invade the land of Pridain.
11:14The cauldron actually proves to be the thing
11:16that takes the Horned King down, though.
11:18It pulls him into itself,
11:19and the experience is painful.
11:22The king is ripped apart and scorched.
11:24While he already kind of looked like a skeleton,
11:27the cauldron made sure to rip off
11:29whatever remaining flesh he had.
11:31Curse you!
11:36No!
11:38No!
11:41No!
11:44No!
11:48By the time the damage is done,
11:50he's nothing but a pile of bones and ash.
11:53The Black Cauldron was the MacGuffin he was after,
11:55but this MacGuffin was murderous.
11:58Number 20.
11:59Buddy Pine Syndrome.
12:00The Incredibles.
12:02Turns out there are a lot of people,
12:03whole countries, who want respect.
12:05And they will pay through the nose to get it.
12:07Some people take rejection with dignity and move on.
12:10Others just can't let go of their grudges.
12:13Despite not having any superpowers,
12:15young Buddy Pine dreams of becoming
12:17Mr. Incredible's sidekick.
12:19I can fly.
12:20Can you fly?
12:21Fly home, Buddy.
12:22I work alone.
12:23After getting turned down by his hero,
12:25he decides to take the super villain route
12:28and becomes Syndrome.
12:30With an arsenal of destructive toys at his disposal,
12:33this megalomaniac aspires to crush his enemy.
12:36Syndrome goes too far, though,
12:38when he targets Mr. Incredible's family.
12:40Oh, don't worry.
12:41I'll be a good mentor.
12:42Supportive, encouraging.
12:43Everything you weren't.
12:45As brilliant as Syndrome is,
12:47he's essentially a bratty child
12:49trapped in a grown man's body.
12:50I knew you couldn't do it.
12:53Even when you have nothing to lose,
12:56you're weak.
12:57It's only appropriate that he's destroyed
12:59by his massive ego,
13:00as well as his poor fashion sense.
13:03Oh, no.
13:15Number 19.
13:17Lord Farquaad
13:18Shrek.
13:19This beloved movie is a comedy,
13:21so it's hard to really hate any of the characters.
13:24Still, Lord Farquaad is certainly detestable.
13:27Some of you may die,
13:30but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
13:33A short man with big ambitions,
13:35Farquaad orders Shrek to rescue Fiona
13:38so he can marry her and become king.
13:40Not only is the motive incredibly selfish,
13:43but Farquaad's personality is exceedingly grating.
13:46Luckily, he gets his comeuppance in the end.
13:48During the sham of a wedding,
13:51Farquaad is devoured by the same dragon
13:53that was protecting Princess Fiona.
14:01It's instant karma.
14:03If he didn't act on his selfish and power-hungry desires,
14:06he would still be alive today.
14:08Number 18.
14:09Charles Muntz.
14:10Up.
14:11They say never meet your heroes,
14:12and explorer Charles Muntz is a case in point.
14:16A deceitful man on the lookout for a giant bird specimen,
14:20Charles does a lot of nasty things,
14:22like setting a fire underneath Carl's house
14:24and kidnapping Russell.
14:26Let me go!
14:29Where's your elderly friend?
14:32If kidnapping doesn't qualify him as a terrible human being,
14:35we do not know what would.
14:37Fortunately, it proves to be his demise.
14:39Muntz takes Russell aboard his airship,
14:41and this is exactly where Muntz meets his end.
14:44While chasing Russell and Kevin,
14:46Muntz gets caught in balloon lines
14:48and is dragged off the airship,
14:50falling to his death.
14:55It's a disturbing death,
14:56but satisfying nonetheless.
14:58The man was shooting at a child, after all.
15:01Number 17.
15:02Scroop.
15:02Treasure Planet.
15:04Released during Disney's rocky years,
15:06Treasure Planet bombed at the box office,
15:09but the movie still earned positive reviews
15:11for its imaginative story,
15:13which includes a murderous alien named Scroop.
15:16Scroop looks like a creepy mix
15:18between a spider and a crab,
15:19so we already kind of hate him.
15:21He also has a penchant for dastardly deeds,
15:24sending poor Mr. Arrow into a black hole.
15:31But Scroop forgot about karma.
15:33The insectoid dies in a very similar manner to Mr. Arrow,
15:37careening off into the vacuum of space
15:39once the ship's artificial gravity is disabled.
15:44Watching Scroop float away is satisfying enough.
15:47Watching him go out in a similar manner to Arrow,
15:49makes it even better.
15:51Number 16.
15:52Doctor Facilier.
15:53The Princess and the Frog.
15:55Disney villains have a tendency to destroy themselves
15:57with the very power they seek.
15:59This is just a minor setback in a major operation.
16:03The Shadow Man is a prime example.
16:06As cool as they come,
16:07this witch doctor has complete confidence
16:10in his master plan.
16:11Besides, you and I both know
16:13the real power in this world ain't magic,
16:17it's money.
16:19Buckets of it.
16:20He puts a little too much faith in dark magic, however,
16:23which results in his doom.
16:25Unable to pay his debt after his voodoo charm breaks,
16:28Dr. Facilier finds himself at the mercy of his friends
16:31on the other side.
16:32With no more tricks up his sleeve,
16:34he's dragged out of the shadows
16:35and down into the underworld.
16:37I promise I'll be your man!
16:38I promise!
16:40The petrified face on Facilier's gravestone
16:43only makes his death more satisfying.
16:46Number 15.
16:47Barkas Bittern.
16:49Corpse Bride.
16:50Barkas is a manipulative man
16:52who marries and murders women for their fortune,
16:55and Victoria Everglot is his next pursuit.
16:58Do call for me if you need my assistance.
17:02In any way.
17:04Apparently, he's such a menace
17:06that even the undead want to give him a piece of their mind.
17:09However, the corpses can't fight back
17:11because of a rule that prevents them
17:12from attacking people who are alive.
17:14But that changes when Barkas shows up to Victoria's wedding.
17:18While he acts rudely to her and her husband, Victor,
17:21he accidentally drinks a cup of poisoned wine.
17:24Yep, you're right.
17:25He's all yours.
17:33It kills him and also allows the undead
17:35to finally drag him away to pay for his crimes.
17:38Arrogance was his own downfall.
17:40Well, that and the corpses too.
17:43In the end, Barkas Bittern was all bark and no bite.
17:47Number 14.
17:48Sykes.
17:48Oliver and Company.
17:50I can see myself.
17:51Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
17:54Big, bad, and ruthless,
17:56Sykes views himself as untouchable.
17:58Did we bring something green and wrinkly to make you catty?
18:03So it's kind of ironic that a petty thief,
18:05a little girl, and a bunch of cute animals cause his downfall.
18:09In the climax of Oliver and Company,
18:11Sykes sets out to turn our heroes into roadkill.
18:14But the party is over.
18:17Oh, come on!
18:20Behind the wheel of his dominating Cadillac,
18:22this loathsome loan shark seems like an indestructible force.
18:26Sykes takes the highway to hell, though,
18:28when he drives his car onto a third rail.
18:31Confronted by a towering train,
18:33Sykes meets his demise on a bridge.
18:35It's far from the first time a gangster's body
18:37has ended up at the bottom of the Hudson River.
18:39But it's not like he didn't have it coming.
18:45This cute buddy cop movie is actually quite dark,
18:48considering that its primary antagonist
18:50is named after a deadly disease.
18:53Thrax is a virus that enters the body of Frank de Tori
18:56through an infected egg.
18:57Ah-ha!
19:00Ha!
19:01Now who's evolved?
19:02Thrax is so deadly and dangerous
19:04that he threatens to kill his host within just 48 hours,
19:08forcing Frank's immune system to work overtime.
19:11Thrax is eventually sneezed out of Frank
19:13and ends up on his daughter's false eyelash.
19:15Luckily, Thrax is killed when the eyelash
19:17falls into a beaker of rubbing alcohol.
19:24Osmosis Jones has an inventive premise,
19:27and the death of its main antagonist
19:29is equally creative.
19:30Who knew watching a pathogen dissolve in rubbing alcohol
19:33could be so much fun?
19:35Number 12.
19:36A Bug's Life
19:37This opportunistic insect leads a gang of grasshoppers
19:41who demand food from a colony of ants.
19:43So where is it?
19:47Where's my food?
19:49Led by Flick,
19:50the ants rise up and fight back against their oppressors.
19:53But in the chaos of a sudden rainstorm,
19:56Hopper pursues Flick and begins to strangle him.
19:59Fortunately, Flick lured Hopper to this spot on purpose.
20:02Just in the nick of time,
20:04a curious and hungry bird arrives.
20:06Hopper's cockiness proves to be his downfall,
20:09and what a satisfying downfall it is.
20:12Thinking it's a trick,
20:13Hopper decides to taunt the bird,
20:15but it instead grabs him and feeds him to its babies.
20:18Are there a bunch of little girls in this one too?
20:21Hello, girls!
20:25It's gruesome, sure,
20:27but it's always nice to see such an arrogant character getting their comeuppance.
20:31Number 11.
20:32The Great Mouse Detective
20:34This movie saved Disney following the commercial disappointment of the Black Cauldron.
20:39People were drawn to its fun story,
20:41which includes memorable antagonist Rattigan.
20:44Rattigan hopes to rule English mice society with the help of a mechanical robot,
20:48and he even has his henchmen kidnap the Queen of Mice from Buckingham Palace.
20:53Take her away!
20:55Let go of me!
20:57You are filthy!
20:59Rattigan is probably the closest that Disney has ever come to a James Bond villain,
21:03and he goes out in the same manner as numerous Bond villains by falling to his death.
21:09Big Ben tolls and sends Rattigan careening off the clock tower,
21:12where he becomes just another nuisance for a street cleaner.
21:17No!
21:26Despite all his pompous gestures, Rattigan likely ended up in the garbage.
21:31Number 10.
21:32Sean Yu
21:32Mulan
21:33Despite Mulan being a very popular movie,
21:37Sean Yu is seldom mentioned among the best Disney villains,
21:40which is weird considering he's one of the most nefarious.
21:43Sean Yu is the leader of the Huns,
21:45and they invade China by killing numerous guards posted on the Great Wall.
21:49He also has no patience for decorum,
21:52as is evident when he has a fleeing man shot from behind.
21:55How many men does it take to deliver a message?
21:59One.
22:00Luckily, Sean Yu dies in the most spectacular way possible.
22:04He's taken down by Mushu of all people,
22:07or all dragons,
22:08who sends Sean Yu flying into a fireworks display.
22:12Get off the roof! Get off the roof! Get off the roof!
22:16Sean Yu's death is quite violent,
22:19but at least it gave us a pretty light show.
22:21Number 9.
22:22Rourke
22:23Atlantis The Lost Empire
22:25This underrated Disney film follows Milo Thatch,
22:28a timid linguist who joins an expedition to the lost city of Atlantis.
22:32The expedition is carried out by a gang of mercenaries,
22:35led by Commander Rourke.
22:37Well, believe me,
22:38this will be small change compared to the value of what we're going to learn on this trip.
22:41Yes, this should be enriching for all of us.
22:44However, Rourke has ulterior motives.
22:46He wants to steal the heart of Atlantis for himself,
22:49and sell it on the surface for an exorbitant price.
22:52But Rourke suffers a very violent fate before his objective can be carried out.
22:56The otherwise timid Milo finally fights back,
22:59and crystallizes Rourke with a magic shard of glass.
23:02The Rourke statue is then completely destroyed by the airship's propellers.
23:06Thank you, Kevin.
23:17Not only is the death itself satisfying,
23:20but it beautifully concludes Milo's character arc from passive-eccentric to action-hero.
23:26Number 8. Maleficent. Sleeping Beauty.
23:29Maleficent walks a fine line between being a villain who we love to hate,
23:32and a villain we hate to love.
23:38Either way, she's definitely one of Disney's most dastardly villains,
23:42placing a deathly curse on an infant princess.
23:45Well, here's your precious princess.
23:49And to think, Maleficent only did that because she wasn't invited to a party.
23:53She breaks out the big guns in the film's climax,
23:56taking on the form of a fire-breathing dragon.
23:58Now shall you deal with me, oh prince,
24:02and all the powers of hell!
24:07While Maleficent throws everything she has at our heroes,
24:10Prince Philip ultimately drives his sword through her dark heart.
24:13Good may triumph over the mistress of all evil,
24:16but at least Maleficent went out on a high note.
24:19Number 7. Mother Gothel.
24:20Tangled.
24:21Everyone must eventually face their mortality.
24:24Mother Gothel learns this the hard way.
24:27Kidnapping our long-haired heroine as a baby,
24:29this villain manipulates Rapunzel into believing that she's a caring,
24:33nurturing mother figure.
24:34Rapunzel! Let down your hair!
24:38Deep down in her shriveled-up heart,
24:39it's possible that Mother Gothel has some affection for the young lady she calls her daughter.
24:44When push comes to shove, however,
24:46all she cares about is using Rapunzel's magical hair to preserve her own youth and beauty.
24:50We are going where no one will ever find you again!
24:55When Rapunzel's golden locks are chopped off,
24:58Mother Gothel's age finally starts to catch up to her.
25:01No!
25:06No!
25:07No!
25:08No!
25:09Unable to look at her decaying face in the mirror,
25:11she tumbles out the window and reaches her inevitable expiration.
25:15No!
25:16No!
25:17No!
25:19No!
25:22Number 6. Ursula.
25:24The Little Mermaid.
25:25Now sing.
25:27Ursula is a villain of many different faces.
25:29Now listen, this is important.
25:32Before the sun sets on the third day,
25:35you've got to get dear old Princey to fall in love with you.
25:39She can be quiet and subtle,
25:41using her magic to steal Ariel's voice and Prince Eric's heart.
25:44This sea witch can also be booming and bombastic,
25:48particularly when she gets her hands on King Triton's all-powerful trident.
25:52You monster!
25:53Don't fool with me, you little brat!
25:56Growing to a monstrous size,
25:58Ursula nearly sends the Little Mermaid to a watery grave.
26:01The sea and all its toils bow to my tower!
26:08Prince Eric storms in at just the right time, though,
26:11and impales her with a ship.
26:13This scene gave us all the nightmares as children,
26:15but we can take comfort in knowing that Ursula is now sleeping with the fishes.
26:19Number 5. Evil Queen.
26:21Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
26:23It's impossible not to fall in love with Snow White.
26:26Hello, bears.
26:28What's the matter?
26:30Where's your mom and papa?
26:31You'd have to be completely heartless to harm such a kind, pure soul.
26:35That's exactly why we despise the evil Queen so much.
26:38A formula to transform my beauty into ugliness.
26:42When her huntsman can't get the job done,
26:44the jealous Queen uses her dark magic to transform herself into a hag
26:49and kills the innocent princess with a poison apple.
26:52And now, a special thought of death for one so fair.
27:00The wicked Queen comes close to crushing the Seven Dwarfs with a boulder as well.
27:05Fortunately, a bolt of lightning intervenes
27:07and gives Queen Grimhilda as the witch her comeuppance,
27:10after which vultures make sure there's nothing left of the Queen's body.
27:14Meanwhile, the dwarves preserve Snow White's body
27:17so she may be awakened by true love's kiss.
27:20Number 4. Scar, the Lion King.
27:23I see.
27:24This evil uncle is as ambitious as he is merciless.
27:27In order to claim the Pride Lands, the devious Lion murders his older brother.
27:32Long live the King.
27:35As if that's not appalling enough, Scar also plots to kill his nephew,
27:39who's only a cub.
27:41Well, I was first in line until the little hairball was born.
27:45Slipping through his uncle's claws, Simba runs away into exile.
27:49Sometime later, he returns to show Scar who the true King is.
27:53Step down, Scar.
27:54Oh, yeah, I would, naturally.
27:56However, there is one little problem.
28:00You see them.
28:02Despite his unforgivable deeds,
28:05Scar is given a chance to run away and never return.
28:07The dethroned villain refuses to accept defeat, though,
28:11and an epic catfight ensues.
28:13As you wish, your majesty.
28:18This proves to be Scar's undoing,
28:20as he's sent to the bottom of Pride Rock,
28:22where his hungry minions greet him.
28:24No, let me explain.
28:27No, you don't understand.
28:28It's the circle of death.
28:30Number three, Clayton, Tarzan.
28:33This death is widely considered one of the darkest in the Disney canon,
28:37and for good reason.
28:38But it's also very rewarding.
28:40Clayton is a hunter escorting Porter and Jane through the forest,
28:43but he eventually develops a greedy fascination with the gorillas,
28:47and wishes to capture and sell them.
28:50This is your fault.
28:51I should have followed my instincts and set traps for the beast.
28:55He even kills Kerchak,
28:56and that's when viewers began asking for blood.
28:59In the end, Clayton greatly underestimates the power of the forest,
29:02and accidentally hangs himself on a bunch of vines.
29:12It's a brutal sequence,
29:14containing one of the most violent images ever seen in a Disney film.
29:17But it's not like viewers had sympathy for Clayton.
29:20Quite the opposite, in fact.
29:21We were glad to see him go.
29:23Number two, Gaston.
29:25Beauty and the Beast.
29:26Gaston actually starts off as one of the more likable Disney villains.
29:30A pleasant surprise.
29:31Isn't it though?
29:33I'm just full of surprises.
29:34Granted, he is rude, insensitive, and full of himself.
29:38And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs,
29:41so I'm roughly the size of a budge.
29:47While we can see why Belle isn't attracted to him,
29:49there is a certain charm to his pompous nature.
29:51Throughout Beauty and the Beast, however,
29:53Gaston goes from being a selfish jerk to a sadistic monster
29:57that'll do anything to get what he wants.
29:59I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding.
30:04If...
30:04If what?
30:05If you marry me.
30:07In the midst of a heated battle for Belle's hand,
30:10the Beast takes pity on the whimpering Gaston
30:12and lets him leave peacefully.
30:14Gaston's hunter instinct kicks in, though,
30:16and he stabs his prey in the back.
30:18As he's beyond the point of redemption,
30:20it's hard to feel bad for Gaston
30:22when he ultimately plummets to his death
30:24after losing his footing.

30:45Born in the sunlight
30:47Born in the rain
30:49Life is a rhythm
30:52Running through veins
30:57Number 1
30:58Judge Claude Frollo
31:00The Hunchback of Notre Dame
31:02Frollo might just be the biggest sinner
31:04the Mouse House has ever given us.
31:06This cruel justice minister
31:07murders an innocent mother,
31:09attempts to drown her deformed child,
31:12burns down people's homes,
31:14and lusts after a Romany woman
31:16he plans to either kill or make his own.
31:19Destroy Esmeralda
31:21and let her taste the fires of hell!
31:24Although he's broken every commandment in the good book,
31:27Frollo is still convinced
31:28that all of his heinous acts are justified.
31:31Think of your mother!
31:33Before he can do away with Quasimodo,
31:35Frollo loses his balance atop Notre Dame
31:38and comes face to face with a devilish sight.
31:42As the flames of hell rage below,
31:44he's sent to meet his maker.
31:46We'd say may the lord have mercy on his soul,
31:49but Frollo has no soul to save.
