I rank every animated baddie created by the beloved British studio! VIDEO AVATAR DRAWN BY SORA STAR: ko-fi.com/sorastar SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: / jambareeqi
The transition of Mrs. Tweedy's lairs makes sense. The first movie felt like a parody of WWII movies. The second movie was more of a parody spy movies.
Mrs Tweedy’s chilling presence is made even more scary by Miranda Richardson’s delivery. I wish that Richardson got to play more villains in animated films.
I remember Richardson playing a particularly nasty Wicked Queen in an episode of Jim Henson's anthology series The Storyteller... There is more than a touch of Miss Gulch in the design for Mrs Tweedy - that certainly helps with the intimidation factor...
@@Doddleproductions judging by those community posts about the sheriff from Robin Hood counting as a minion I feel like his next one will be on all the Disney villains
13:34 acoarding to the director of the movie Trumper grew up believing he we would be a police officer or government agent but never had the right grades so ended working for animal control despite his hatred of animals
What I love about Feathers was how he’s still on the go, since he escaped the zoo in Loaf and Death (ladder next to his bars) and you can see him in the ending of Chicken Run 2. Goes to show that a sneaky little bugger like him can’t be fully defeated. Edit: and now he’s going to return to get his revenge.
29:29 You heard right, folks! Imelda Staunton, the woman behind Dolores Umbridge and Queen Elizabeth II for The Crown, played Queen Victoria before Queen Elizabeth!
Re. Feathers McGraw, there was recently an exhibition in London's Cartoon Museum celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Wrong Trousers. It featured the storyboards of the climactic Toy Train chase, and some videos explaining that it was actually pretty challenging to do a Cartoon-style chase in the stop-motion format. It really made me appreciate what a brilliant and unique climax it is...
Another fun fact: in the animation exhibition at the national media museum in Bradford, there's one of the last surviving sets of the film, being the museum heist scene
I agree, Because She has gone from the Cold and Icy Prison Warden of the Farmer to the Flamboyant Espionage Supervillainess of the CEO of the Chicken Nugget Factory and the Mad Scientist.
5:26 The older I get the more I feel that this robot was misunderstood. Also I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I cry every time I see them looking and reacting defeated. All they wanted to do was ski. They eventually do, but that first moment of defeat makes me cry. 😭
Did you know that feathers makes a cameo in Chicken Run 2?(That means that 2 villains make a return!Wow!)It shows that maybe he just might make a comeback....who knows?
Great ranking! Mrs Tweedy was the first Aardman villain I’ve seen in my life and she’ll always be my favourite one. Miranda Richardson played her perfectly.
Lord Nooth - Worse Prince John Cooker - Good guy AUTO Victor Quartermaine - British Gaston I think it's safe to say that the 3 "worst" Aardman villains are basically just Disney/Pixar "inspirations"
As for me, I’ll compare the Aardman villains with the Codename: Kids Next Door (2002) Villains list: *Queen Victoria - The 19th Century Cree Lincoln/Numbuh 11 and the Teen Ninjas. *Agent Red - British Adult Henrietta Von Marzipan *Melisha Tweedy - Nurse Claiborne with Madam Margaret’s Colour scheme.
15:17 Something that really does pay off by the end because Not only is he left humiliated but Trumper is Fired and forced to work for a fast food restaurant while the Pound is put under new management
15:22 I'd like to think that the Farmer yells, "Hey! Hey! What?! Traitor! Why I oughta..." at Trumper, as if they had some sort of history and rivalry at some point.

Piela's abusive behavior was absolutely wild, considering how at times she's almost a complete gaslighter in a media niche that isn't covered too often (that being gaslighter villains that operate aggressively as opposed to sneakily)
I kind of thought you would add some of Aardman’s villains from their other shorts like Arnold Hugh from Stage Fright, but that no way detracts from this excellent ranking list.
Mrs Tweedy is still the scariest Aardman villain (At least in the first film imo) Though Feathers McGraw and Preston are damn close, theres something very psychopathic about her. Yes, she's a chicken farmer trying to increase profits, but the authority and pleasure she's getting out of controlling them is truly disturbing. Even when she finds out they're intelligent, it only increases her blood lust. She's like "I don't care if they're sentient, I'm not letting my produce get away"
11. Cooker - HE JUST WANTED TO GO SKIING ON PLANET EARTH!!!! That’s all I have to say other than he’s just doing his job. 10 . Lord Nooth - I know I haven’t seen Early Man yet, but to top it all off, he plans on sending the cave people to a mine and enslave them. That’s pretty devious. 9. Feathers McGraw - This is exactly my point. He’s trying to steal a diamond from a museum. Not that much to say 8. Agent Red - Okay? Going to extreme measures to prove your beliefs is not a good idea. In fairness, the mech suit thing is really over the top and all, but I think we need to explain that she’s really a tame villain overall. She’s even got a backstory for crying out loud. I also have to question the redemption arc. 7. Trumper - Yeah. This guy is undoubtedly a Pride Medalist. An egomaniac? Yes. A villain? YOU BET YOUR MARINARA SAUCE HE HIS!!! 6. Victor Quartermaine - He earns The Greed Medal hands down. 5. Preston the Cyberdog - a robotic canine that was built for good, but turned to the dark side is a truly well made villain. He frames Grommit and above all else, is a sheep rustler for his underground dog food business. 4. Queen Victoria - Aardman’s version of her barely misses the podium of MY rankings. Did Queen Victoria really hate pirates in history? Seriously! 3. The Toad - Aside from his iced rat collection, this guy is nefarious with his plans to flood the entire scale model of England under Kensington built by rats and every single one of them in it. 2. Piella Bakewell - She really goes to extreme lengths to eliminate Wallace, but got eaten by crocodiles. Glad her dog isn’t like her at all. Unlike Piella, her poodle gets a happy ending. 1. Mrs. Tweedy - (*shudders*) Mrs. Tweedy is one who really really REALLY left an impact. Not to mention that she actually survived a door crushing her! HOW ON OR OFF OF EARTH DOES ONE SURVIVE THAT!?!? 😱 I’m at Markiplier/Nostalgia Critic level freak out mode. And that’s my ranking.
The moment where Feathers was struggling to steal the diamond was my favorite and satisfying scene in the movie. I felt a faint joy watching Feathers' entire demeanor shutter.
The most interesting thing about Mrs. Tweedy is that she's clearly not willing to put in any actual effort to get the success she wants. And ironically, despite her constantly complaining about making poor profits, all the shortcuts she takes are not only inhumane for the chickens, but actually _way_ more costly for herself too. She wants to sell her brand as "homemade" and she clearly does know how to cook the chickens (since she kills and eats Edwina at the start) so she could easily just bake and sell the pies herself. But instead, she invests God knows how much money into this massive, complicated machine that goes wrong on the first try and then leaves it to her husband to fix. Even in the second film, she relies entirely on Dr. Fry's inventions, and is clearly just a glorified figurehead who doesn't make any actual contribution to the production. Tweedy's deluded herself into thinking that she's this visionary genius who's going to change the food industry, but in reality she's just a narcissistic little nobody chasing get-rich-quick schemes.
She’s also constantly trying to act as the brains of the operation but lets her hatred of chickens and need to make instantaneous profit just completely blinker her into short sightedness. In both movies she experiences setbacks or things getting in the way of her success and her response is the same both times “cook all the chickens” she would’ve gone destitute if she actually succeeded. In the first movie she only had enough chickens to make let’s say 20 pies, how the heck was she gonna make a profit from selling less than a hundred chicken pies, she wouldn’t even be able to buy new chickens with that much and she certainly wasn’t smart enough to get a few younger breeding roosters so she could get more chickens for free. Same in Dawn Of The Nugget, she has a near perfect plan to make billions, she experiences one setback by finding out Ginger’s there and her response is instantly to just kill all her stock. Sure she was getting more chickens delivered so she learned her lesson there at least, but she was hinging her trial run of chicken nuggets on selling I’d say about 80-90 pre-made buckets to the Sir Eats-a-Lot chain, that’d hardly cover a lunchtime rush at one restaurant, let alone cover a whole restaurant chain
Should I also mention how impractical the pie machine is for one they just put ginger on the rack and yet The Machinist producing multiple pies yeah they only put ginger on meaning they would be tons of pies with no chicken in them in fact by the looks of it the time machine is incapable producing one at a time so because of that they waste tons of dough gravy in veg on pies when you don't even have the main ingredient also the things seems very fragile like two small chickens were able to nearly destroy the thing also my I mentioned they put ginger on the rack without even killing her or plucking her feathers mmm feathers in my pie does that sound appetising in fact in general she seems to spend way more money on ways to kill chickens when there's just an easier solution like building some complicated mind control colours would it be easier to just kill the chickens then from in the meat Grindr like which sounds cheaper euthanizing or putting down the chickens then making them into nuggets are using mind control coolers so they happily walk to their doom
@@kwproductions6737 to be fair, the mind control collars had a practical purpose, keep them happy so their meat was more tender and succulent. As for euthanising them, I don’t think that’d work cause those chemicals will still be in the chickens once they’re cooked
Kinda disagree with the number one spot, but still a good list! Not surprised that Feathers McGraw and Mrs Tweedy are in the top three (thought either one of those two would be number 1) but one thing I like to point out with Victor Quartermaine and his dog Phillip is I always saw them as the 'anti' Wallace and Gromit.
Mrs. Tweedy is honestly underwhelming as a Aardman villain. Most Wallace and Gromit villains have a reveal, like Preston and Piella Bakewell. She shows up too soon in the first movie, and giving her a reveal in the second movie doesn’t work because the trailer gave it away (maybe giving her a scar could’ve made her scarier). It’s like Shaffrillas said about Frollo, that the musical where his evil is slowly revealed is better than the movie playing too many cards up front.
You know lady “totty” tottington,Wendalyn and fluffles the poodle have a lot in common they’re all lovely and the best characters in their Wallace and Gromit movies
How...in the world...after countless viewing...am I only NOW realising the robot in a Grand Day Out was a cooker. I just....how am I only now just realising this?! I've been watching Wallace and Gromit for 20 years!
I could imagine what a 3rd chicken run movie would be, maybe Mrs Tweedy would go all out and create a fried chicken franchise company similar to KFC, Also maybe also get Married to another man for the 3rd time, and when i ment all out i mean even more than just nuggets or chicken pot pie

Something I really appreciate about how they handled Piella is that while they explain why Piella has such a hatred towards bakers, they don't use it as a way to make us feel sympathetic towards her. The short makes it clear that Piella deserves no sympathy from the audience, not only because she took the lives of innocent people who so happened to be bakers. But also how she manipulates and abuses her own dog. In my opinion she's up there with Mrs Tweeny as being one of the scariest Aardman villains because of how accurate she is to real abusers
