Villain Song/Film/Animated Films/Disney Animated Canon: Difference between revisions

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AiN8vrn9Y "Be Prepared"] from ''[[The Lion King]]''. Just to drive the point home, the chorus of hyenas backing Scar through this song up march in formation at one point, in a manner [[Putting on the Reich|based on footage of a real-world Nazi rally]]. Furthermore, most Villain Songs involve the villain's evil laughter at the end. This one trumps them all, with not just Scar and his [[Terrible Trio]] laughing, but about 200 OTHER hyenas joining in with them.

** And the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWm87HkaYdE German version].

* Near the beginning of ''[[The Aristocats]]'', Edgar the butler can actually be heard singing "Rock A Bye, Baby" while pouring his mistress' sleeping pills into the cats' milk so that they will all fall asleep, therefore allowing him to kidnap them all and leave them all for dead in the French countryside. But then a pair of dogs attack him...

* Notable aversion: Shan Yu, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Mulan]]'' does not have a Villain Song at, and therefore he is one of the few official Disney Villains (maybe drop the "official" part because [[Loads and Loads of Characters|''all'' of the villains are included in that franchise)]] not to have one (much like Mulan being one of the few official [[Disney Princess]]es that is neither royalty by birth nor marriage). This is probably for the better since it actually does not suit [[The Quiet One|his personality]] at all and having him sing would totally make him feel out of character.

* ''[[Hocus Pocus (film)|Hocus Pocus]]'' has two! First is Bette Midler's [[Big Bad]] Winifred singing the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|show stopping]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDidHzwYu3E "I Put A Spell On You"], with bonus for actually hypnotizing everyone within earshot. Second is Sarah Jessica Parker singing the haunting [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsda4GJuzcQ "Come Little Children"], bewitching all the children of Salem to their deaths Pied Piper style.

* "The Elegant Captain Hook" from ''[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]]''.

** Actually, that was not to be the original song in the movie. There was originally intended to be another song in a different style, that [[Cut Song|got cut]], called "The Pirate Song".
