What makes a good villain? Sorcery, witchcraft, voodoo magic, disguises, transformations, clothes/accessories, number of people you hurt/kill?
The answer is: leaving a lasting impression.

1. Scar
Scar is the best because no moment in the Disney universe has the tragic impact of the death of Mufasa. With nothing but simple manipulation and only one murder, Scar solidifies his villain status because nothing tops the betrayal of a family member. Thirst for power, witty elegance, sarcastic attitude, dictatorship, all leading to an epic battle where he is thrown of the peak of Pride Rock and eaten by his army of hyenas.
He has all the inhumane characteristics that make him extraordinary and ironically he is the only animal antagonist on list. Plus, he has one of the best songs, “Be Prepared”.

2. The Queen
Disney’s first villain, Queen Grimhilde. She is the pioneer for all the tricks used by every typical villain. I was six when I first watched Snow White and I was absolutely terrified by the scene when she turns in the old hag. She is simply chilling when she delivers one my favorite quotes:
“Mummy dust, to make me old, To shroud my clothes, the black of night, To age my voice, an old hag's cackle, To whiten my hair, a scream of fright, A blast of wind to fan my hate, A thunderbolt to mix it well, Now, begin thy magic spell.”
She is memorable for conjuring the most iconic of all fairytale items, the poison apple. Beautiful, vain, cruel, and the original queen/evil step mother/wicked witch. She will forever remain the fairest of them all…among villains at least.

3. Maleficent
Evil by definition, and the self-proclaimed “Mistress of All Evil”, she is what makes Sleeping Beauty unforgettable. I just wish she had a more profound motive. Money, power, revenge, youth, love…nope! All this because she didn’t get invited to a christening party? But that’s what makes her the epitome of evil for no good reason.
She teleports via her signature green flames and of course let’s not forget that she turns into one vicious dragon. Maleficent is downright bad-ass!

4. Hades
Hades is the best scene stealer. Like Scar, Hades is the ruthless uncle out to get his nephew. Hades tries for 18 years; you have to give him credit for his perseverance. Despite being the king of the underworld and having the power to kill any mortal he wants, Hades makes deals with them. He not only has the hero’s girl working for him but he even manages to kill her in the process.
But what sets Hades apart is the fact that he is absolutely hilarious! He’s immortal, he floats, he has countless monsters at his disposal, and adorable minions to help him. Hades is the funniest, most entertaining villain ever. Just plain awesome and literally on fire!
And, he just happens to friends with the next guy…

5. Jafar
First off he is the only villain to make out with the heroine; and in front of the hero too. His holds Jasmine captive in what is practically the Disney version of slave-Leia scene. Calm, collected, calculating, sardonic but still somewhat laughable, Jafar is still pretty sinister.

6. Frollo
Frollo brings a new dimension to being a villain: corruption. Evil is merely the dualistic opposite of good, corruption is moral impurity. Frollo is tragic because he isn’t trying to be the bad guy. “Hellfire” beautifully illustrates the struggle between his self righteousness and carnal desires. Frollo doesn’t have any magical powers but he uses a greater weapon: religion. For being so tormented, utilizing faith to persecute gypsies, manipulating a town into chaos basically because Esmeralda refused him, and so many more reasons, Frollo is a great but also a real villain.

7. Ursula
Not just a witch, but a fat half octopus sea witch. I have to say that I think Ursula is the ugliest of all villains. (Yet I think Vanessa is much hotter than Ariel). The creepiest thing she does is tell Ariel the importance of body language.
She likes making deals with the “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, like Hades. She hypnotizes Eric via Ariel’s voice and nearly succeeds in marrying him. Although short lived, she does manage to take the crown and trident. And then in true villain fashion, she grows to Kraken size and gets impaled by a ship. Vengeful, hideous, and unwavering; Ursula is one of the most frightening villains.

8. Shan-Yu
A trained cold blooded murderer, commander of the Han army, and he managed to survive an avalanche. In terms of shear numbers, Shan-Yu has killed the most. What Shan-Yu lacks in no supernatural power (like Frollo), he makes up with pure combat skill. Shan-Yu has to be one of the strongest in terms brute strength. And Maleficent may have a pet raven; he has a falcon at his disposal.
The line “How many men does it take to deliver a message?” speaks volumes about his ruthlessness. Another nuance is when he orders the emperor to bow to him. Power is not enough for him, this killer wants humiliation. Shan-Yu is one grim, vile, emotionless, villain who literally does not know the meaning of mercy.

9. Dr. Facilier
Suave, charming, sadistic and he has friends on the over side. He is a perfect mixture of Hades, Ursula, and Jafar with his own brand of style and charisma. Whatever he does, Dr. Facilier does with flare.

10. Yzma
Not really much of villain, more of a frienemy. But I just love her too much to not put her on the list. Scary beyond all reason and lovably whimsical. She has a “secret lab” complete with roller-coaster and a “wrong lever” that feds you to the gator. Only Yzma have the despicably complicated mind necessary to take over an empire.
