Top 10 Disney Villains

10. Captain Hook (Peter Pan): Poor guy; who wouldn't get annoyed with those bratty kids?
9. Gaston (Beauty and the Beast): He's just one of those villains who has... a great song.
8. Shere Khan (The Jungle Book): He has such a great bass voice (listen to "That's What Friends Are For",) which is a quality that all cool male villains should have.
7. Scar (The Lion King): He wins big points in the evil voice department (great job, Jeremy Irons.)
6. Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty): I think it's kind of pathetic when you can turn into a 50 foot dragon but all you can do is clumsily take up space and then fall to your doom a few moments later.
5. Lady Tremaine with Drizella & Anastasia (Cinderella): What is it about evil women and fantastic hairdos?
4. Jafar (Aladdin): I could never figure out how his neck and face could be such different colors.
3. Queen Grimilhide (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs): She is just so classic.
2. Cruella De Vil (101 Dalmations): Every time I see someone who resembles her, I start singing that song in my head. So jazzy and evil. It's great.
1. Ursula (The Little Mermaid): Her bosomy shimmy during "Poor Unfortunate Souls" should be enough to make anyone shudder.

The villains are always my mom's favorite characters, so I think her fondness for them has rubbed off on me.
