Line 94:
** Honest John and his sidekick, Gideon, from ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' have one of the coolest songs in Disney history: ''Hi Diddle Dee Dee''
** Jafar from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' and [[Non-Human Sidekick|Iago]] before his [[Heel Face Turn]], one of the funniest characters in both the films and the tv series.
** [[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]]'s nemesis, Captain Hook. First off, he's a pirate, and pirates are ''always'' cool. And his antics are so [[Laughably Evil]] you almost want to side with him.
** Yzma from ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'' is arguably the most entertaining character (with the possible exception of Kronk) in the movie in her own right, completely setting aside the issue of the protagonist being less than likable. And if her initial [[Villain Song]], ''"Snuff Out The Light"'' had ended up in the film, she would've been bumped up even further.
** Scar from ''[[The Lion King]]''. [[Complete Monster|He's a regicidal, fratricidal bastard,]] and yet none of us can shake off just how much we love Jeremy Irons. Aside from that, [[Magnificent Bastard|he has to be among the Disney villain whose plans reach fruition the fastest (halfway through).]] For most villains, even in general, they have to wait till the third act to get their dark rewards. He keeps them longest, too, leaving aside folks like Maleficent, who wasn't looking to ''gain'' anything as such. Plus, he has one of the best [[Villain Song]]s ever.
Line 106 ⟶ 107:
*** Clu's aforementioned [[The Dragon|Dragon]], Rinzler. He pretty much acts as the [[Star Wars|Darth Maul]] of the movie, has a cool outfit and mad fighting skills, {{spoiler|and his being Tron himself not only makes him cooler, but also makes his [[Heel Face Turn]] and subsequent [[Heroic Sacrifice]] that much more poignant}}.
** Appropriately enough, considering his quote at the top of the page, [[Vincent Price]] as Ratigan from ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]''. They even wrote a [[Villain Song]] just for him, and he said it was some of the most fun he ever had making a movie.
* "[[The Black Cauldron]]" may have not been a smash hit, but the [[Complete Monster|Horned]] [[Horned Humanoid|King]] is by far the most redeemable part of the movie, being subtle, yet terrifying and can get scarier when excited.
* And who could forget the sexy, singing smog cloud that was Hexxus in ''[[Fern Gully]]'' (voiced by [[Tim Curry]], no less)?
