It doesn't matter because of the huge boulder weighing Sharptooth down. It's like execution by drowning, where the victim gets a weight tethered to its person to ensure they'll sink to the bottom of the body of water they're thrown into.
Sharptooth could have been even scarier- the novelization of The Land Before Time uses cut content from the film that portrays him as basically a dinosaur serial killer, killing not just cause he’s hungry, but because he enjoys it. When Littlefoot wounds his eye with the thorn branches, Sharptooth takes this and being rammed by Cera in the cave as an affront to his pride, hence why he’s so focused on killing the kids despite them not being much of a meal. At the end, he sniffs out the entrance to the Great Valley and fantasizes about slaughtering the dinosaurs within before being lured out by Ducky and caught in the kids’ trap. And all of this still without him talking.
Not sure that would have ended too well for him. He barely got away from his fight with littlefoot's mom. An entire valley of sauropods and ceratopsians wouldn't have resulted in the victorious bloodbath he was hoping for her.
@@UltraPoseidon true but Littlefoot’s Mom did it cos she was just that: a mom protecting her baby, no way ALL of them would be brave enough to do the same.
Animal serial killers are a real thing. We call them 'rogue' usually. I think Gustave the Nile crocodile killed over three hundred people with no evidence of a prey motive. There was also Ole Groaner, a grizzly, Osama, the elephant and the Tsavo lions, off the top of my head. So that part isn't too hard to believe. Also, most of those had old bullet wounds or scars, which sort of indicates it's a revenge behavior, also fitting with Sharptooth's story.
I’ve noticed a trend with a lot of Bluth’s villains. A lot of them are very “behind the scenes” types, rarely intervening with the heroes unless it’s absolutely necessary, like for a fight or confrontation. I really like this, and Bluth does it very well, contrary to someone like Disney where most of their types that are like that don’t do anything until the climax, and just monologue in their spare time. Bluth shook this up in ways. Examples include with the Great Owl, as said. He doesn’t just bark orders at his minions constantly, we also see little qualities in him, like cooking and music. While Drake doesn’t really try hard to stop Hubie from coming home, he does take advantage of the time that Hubie isn’t there, constantly trying to get Marina to agree to marry him. Rasputin doesn’t just sit around doing aimless stuff in his lair. He uses the dark magic he has to his advantage from the safety of his hideout, using it to lure Anya to her almost demise. My point being, Bluth’s way of having antagonists in their lair or away from heroes most of the time is a good example on how to do it right.
@@orangeslash1667just like he did scar singing in the last part of be prepared after, Jeremy Irons had vocal problems from saying you won’t get a sniff without me.
It’s great to hear such vocal talent legends working together as a team to bring out the best of another actor, especially during music numbers and songs
Let’s not forget that Sharptooth was so scary, that during production of the movie, Don Bluth had to cut out or rearrange some scenes because Steven Spielberg and George Lucas thought that most of his scenes were deemed too scary for the younger audiences.
The Sharptooth has actually been theorized to be so terrifying that he scared away OTHER SHARPTEETH! And I believe it, he's so massive that he rivals an Apatosaurus in size!
@@rexwrecks2735 -Oi mate we've found a Tyrannosaurus skeleton -Oh blimey! That's a pretty rare find indeed! -That's not all. He's nearly twice as big as the biggest one ever found! -......he's fucking wot mate?!
I mean, it would be expected if he scared away smaller Sharpteeth, such as raptors or dilophosaurus, but, if he was able to scare away other T Rexes as well, then that’s something!
I’m laughing because it’s obvious that they knew that the “crack to the neck” wasn’t a way to knock someone out I honestly think you don’t get dark humor
@@GL1TCHY_BUDDY I honestly don't think you got I was making a joke in return. I can assume they aren't that obtuse and knew he was killed and maybe said knocked out to not lose ad monetization. No need to be jerk by acting superior.
I’m not surprised that Sharptooth was put on the top. As a tyrannosaurus, he’s an absolutely cruel, homicidal, blood thirsty and remorseless killing machine devoid of humanity. He’s my favourite too. Plus the psychopathic villains like Carface and Warren T. Rat are some of my favourite kinds of villains as well. Dragon the cat is more like a neutral villain, didn’t stick around for long enough to be a threat and basically, hunting mice is what cats do anyway.
I can't help but love the Grand Duke Of Owls, especially for his 15 second song. "Twiddle dee dee! They're running out! They're running out of batteriiiiiiies!" 🎶
I remember some of my friends going on about how the bear from Fox and the Hound gave them nightmares not knowing Shaprtooth can literally eat him in one bite 😳 Don bluth had a talent for animating bad ass monsters and the simplicity of Sharptooth being a Trex from the depths of prehistoric HELL makes him such a surprisingly compelling and memorable antagonist
Even in Don Bluth's bad movies, you can't deny that the animation is always top notch. I don't know what he does exactly but I especially like how his characters move in these films.
I love Don Bluth films specifically in American tale. This movie was so successful and it scared Disney so much that it forced them to begin their animated Renaissance in the late 80s and most of the 90s.
It's times like this I wonder what life would be like if Don Bluth had won the war with Disney. Could we still have 2D animation around today? I guess we'll never know.
While I’m not a fan of Thumbelina, but Berkeley Beetle is probably the funniest character of the film, mainly because of the entertaining performance from the late Gilbert Gottfried. Although not that much as Iago, but there are a few moments from him that i did get the laughs out of, especially his relationship with Grundel.
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
How did FOX allow that? Then again, they did approve of Rasputin’s demise. Geez, I wish Titan A.E had done well so that Don and Gary could have made more movies with them.
@@thomasspongeconductor2222 i agree As I would have loved to have seen a Don Bluth Movie set in Australia focusing on some Australian animals I did hear that originally Don Bluth was gonna direct Ice Age
Jenner is one of the best villains in my childhood memories of films. He reminds me of the ruthless villainous Prince Malagant from First Knight because of the similar sword design with spikey edges along the edge of the evil sword.
1:15 - The mole from The Adventures of Thumbelina & Tom Thumb had the mole as a main villain & he was much more sinister (he tried killing Tom Thumb, was going to eat the swift, had minions abduct Thumbelina & tried to force her into a marriage)
39:45 But what's also worth noting is that Rasputin is a fictional version of the the very real Gregori Rasputin a self-proclaimed holy man who was responsible partly for the Romanov's fall from power and their death
@@925263 well, to be fair, the real life Rasputin wasn’t exactly a good egg, either. He had affairs with the queen and apparently got creepy with the princesses.
@@thomashuffman3237the affair was not 100% true like the French queen saying let them eat cake it could just be their unpopularity making people believe that
Fun fact - During the credits at the end of "Thumbelina", you can see what happened to villains. Grundel finds a toad wife, Berkeley has his wings back, and Mr. Mole marries Ms. Fieldmouse.
I believe, wholeheartedly, that Sharptooth was the inspiration for the Indominus Rex of Jurassic World. At least the novelization of The Land Before Time.
Speaking of Thumbelina, the fairy prince ALSO falls for her because he likes her voice and thinks she is pretty. Not because of her personality, just her looks. He is nicer than the other guys but still likes Thumbelina for her beauty. He never said '' I will make your dream come true! '' or '' I should meet your mother. '' The fairy ask to marry her after a few hours. That's not romantic, it's weird 🤨Both characters don't know a lot about the other but wants to be married? I though love was fast in Disney movies but here it's even faster geez!
"Everything we're dreaming of will soon be hours. Anything that you desire, anything at all. Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall." He absolutely does offer to make her dreams come tre.
Why are you just plainly lying? The Prince sings with Thumbelina about *their* dreams coming true and about lifting her higher in life. You really out here spreading misinformation about a Don Bluth movie lol.
I won't dispute that Rasputin has the best villain song, but Drake's "Don't Make Me Laugh" HA HA HA HA has been living rent free in my head for over 25 years.
The devil from all dogs is still the most haunting thing I've ever seen. The end where it's shadow is casted over the city as you see how massive it is. And the overall presentation just oozes evil
Grundle's childlike personality really emphasizes how coddled he is by his mother, which imo helps emphasize HER villainy. Plus it helps him be distinct among the suitors. It's why Mr. Mole's much more passive nature works for me. Each suitor is unique enough to not overlap. Also no lie Troll in Central Park TERRIFIED me as a little kid and I never knew why my older sibling wanted to watch it so much.
Fun fact in the ending credits you'll see on the upper right that both Mr mole and Ms field mouse are getting married I'm surprised i didn't notice that 💀
Sharptooth is the one Don Bluth villain I remember most. He was the scariest dinosaur I ever saw on film and he still is. Strong, intimidating, ferocious and frighteningly persistent, that’s what made me fear him when I was a kid.
@@GL1TCHY_BUDDY predators are a part of nature, same as tornadoes or hurricanes. Obviously a tornado isn't a villain because it's a part of nature, same goes to a predatory animal like a T Rex or a shark. A villain is someone who has the mentality of a human, even if it's in the body of an animal or vehicle that willing does bad things
@@GL1TCHY_BUDDY you could say a villian is 'evil' (doing things that are wrong or bad, etc. in other words a bad person) , while an antagonist is only opposed to the protagonists. In context of Sharptooth, if he was hunting down the characters because he just wanted to kill/hurt them (malicious intent or something) he'd be a villain, but if he's hunting down the characters because he has to eat or something (he's a carnivore, so that would be the case), hes an antagonist. I hope that makes sense?
Yes but than that would mean that the original comment we’re replying to is wrong because after the characters shot a thorn in Sharp tooth’s eye, all he could think about was revenge
It's a Tragic Don Bluth went with a bad movie instead of a great movie his last movie to date Titan A.E let's hope he can made one final Banger of a movie with his old style 2D Animation ❤😢
@@neilhannan5112 Well, you make a good point: Treasure Planet is an amazing movie. But I wouldn't watch anything if I had to compare everything to the best films I know. Like, why watch Treasure Planet when Castle in the Sky is so much better both as an adventure film and as a pirate film?
@@c0mpu73rguy Titan A.E is the most generic Sci-fi film you can think of. There's a video called (The Complete History of Titan A.E) explaining the issues of making the film.
But what about Berkley being voiced by Gilbert Godfrey? Or Rasputin having Christopher Loyd as a speaking voice AND Jim Cummings as a singing voice? Those are pretty close contenders, in my opinion.
Not gonna lie, the Sharptooth mildly traumatized me as a kid. It was only a few years ago where I could actually look at a picture of him without getting freaked out, and I’m in my early 30’s. This dude’s mere image scared me for decade's. I mean not enough to not enjoy the movie but still. Glad to see him make it to the top of your list.
Some the characters fall into secondary villain or sub-villain instead of the main villain driving the plot but Don and his writers could tell 5 15 minute sub plots that fit perfectly into the main plot of the movie show or video game
Ooh, saving the villains from the non Bluth Bluth sequels, too. I imagine the villains from An American Tail 3 would completely dominate that one for the very few who have actually seen it
@@gugurupurasudaikirai7620 that makes sense, dog was definitely jumping the shark a bit and considering the plot of Fievel Goes West that’s saying a lot
@@DwarfDaddyat least Cat R Waul had a sense of charisma to him (provided by John Cleese, no less), could actually pull off his act very convincingly, and was actually somewhat menacing, while Madame Mousey was very difficult to take seriously.
@@thomashuffman3237 oh definitely but still his plan was to head to new york, cause chaos to lure mice out west, befriend the mice to lull then into a false sense of security, only to corral them into a giant mouse trap and turn them into mouse burgers. Compared to the chihuahua who faked a monster just to make a lot of money it seems a bit too convoluted
Honestly and for me, since I was a child, Sharptooth has always terrified me, it was like Pennywise from IT and Scarface from The Animals of Farthing Wood! Trauma upon trauma!
Well this list was a blast, can’t wait to see the sequel movies and where you would place the Land before Time Villains..that and Carface for his actions in the sequel that dog took his level of villainy to a whole other level.
Eventually some may need updates anyway when studios make new and exciting baddies . Like Illumination villains with Bowser, and the Chef from Migration
I hope he will start ranking the heroes. Maybe they will not be as fun to talk about. But he can still talk about how they are as characters, their struggles, their backstorys ( if they have one) and how they develop. I Think it could work.
I always thought that until Goldie showed up, he seemed to keep the “the farm don’t love you” feelings as the strongest control he had. And I always thought that King Llort was actually a secret supporter to the Good Trolls. seriously, he hampers so many plans that the queen thought of that would have worked.
Jenner was an amazing villian. I was just a child when I first watched TSoN, but it was Jenner who taught me that the truly dangerous villians were the ones who were charismatic, could plot so easily in the background, and could bully potentially good people into doing bad things for them. Jenner was a real life villian.
I just finished reading the book that The Secret of NIMH was based on, and I learned something that, if incorporated into the film, makes Jenner even more despicable: apparently, prior to being captured by NIMH, Jenner and Nicodemus were childhood friends. So, it makes you hate Jenner’s movie incarnation even more when you realize that he not only killed a wise and benevolent rat, but he also killed a wise and benevolent rat that was once his friend.
Question. Will you include Paramount animation and Nickelodeon animation villains together since Paramount Animation doesn’t have many films and is hard to tell which is one in the first place?

This is very helpful though it can be Spoilers for someone who hasn't seen the video, removing alot of suspense needed to predict the next one, So put these under read more please.
I can't argue with this list. I would have included the mud under the Brisby's home as it was the real villain of the film. It almost killed a bunch of mouse children!
The Great Owl from "The Secret of Nimh" looks oddly similar to the Rock-a-Doodle villain only he was taller than this guy and had a blind Orbis eye. Those Quire birds remind me of the mournful ones from "Once Upon A Forest".

12:24 While in the original story. Miss field mouse and the mole were plotting to keep thumbalina away from the outside world. In don bluths she kinda has a crush on him but since mole wanted thumbalina instead you can see the disappointment on her face
My guy can you do a bit of looking and research into which of the 2 sharpteeth are the bigger, stronger more deadly between the first and the big black one from the secret of sauras rock?
Ah, I agree with all your list (for the films I watched at least) except for the number 1 and number 3. I would have switched them. But I may be biased since Anastasia is the first film I ever saw on the "big" screen (in quotes because the "Odeon" had pretty small screens for a cinema).
The T-rex in The Land before time was scary but my childhood trauma has to be the T-Rex scene in Disney's original Fantasia in fact that whole how the universe began sketch gave me nightmares
