Top 10 Worst Disney Villain Plans 

If you were a Disney villain, how would YOU alter any of these failed plots? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 20 Worst Things Done by Disney Villains - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-krmOD76R7Eo.html

Scar, Ursula and Jafar actually had brilliant plans. In fact, Ursula's plan literally worked. She usurped Triton just as planned. The only reason she died is because she failed to notice Eric because she was too fixated on killing Ariel after she made her kill her pets. Jafar's plan worked out too. He became a powerful sorcerer, sultan and even had Jasmine ready to create an heir for him. Becoming a genie was not a part of his plan, he just wished to become one out of sudden paranoia when Aladdin pointed out that he's not all-powerful. Scar's plan worked well too. In fact, his plan was brilliant. He tricked Simba into causing a stampede, knowing the loss of Simba was Mufasa's greatest fear. And he used that fear to create a situation where Mufasa had no time to strategize, which made him an easy prey. In fact, when Simba returned to the Pridelands, Scar was still able to use his trauma against him. The only reason he was defeated is because he got cocky and told Simba the truth.

Yeah, Edgar's plan was pretty poorly thought out. I mean, they're cats. It's not like they can spend the fortune, he could just do that with no one to stop him. He didn't need to get rid of them. He really wasn't thinking.

I respectfully choose to disagree of you guys having Ursula's plan on your list. It was timed and executed perfectly, plus she was able to sneak her way to victory to avoid any hiccups!

Edgar overlooked a very important detail about the Madame's will - Yes, the cats would be first to inherit their mistress's fortune, but they certainly couldn't handle, use, or spend any of that money for themselves. Ergo, Edgar would have been in control of the fortune with the only stipulation being he would have to take care of the cats for the rest of their lives (not to mention he believed the "9 lives" myth), and once the cats' lives came to an end he would fully have the fortune for himself While he most likely overlooked this detail, there's the possibility he didn't and simply didn't want to have to care for the cats at all, which makes him much more of a greedy dirtbag

I think most of these villains realized if they want something done properly, they have to do it themselves. You can’t trust the bumbling sidekicks.

I stll say Scar killing his brother Mufasa in Lion King and then blaming Simba so he could be king was cold .

The Queen of Hearts was certainly arbitrary in regards to her punishments. She's definitely not one for planning.

Actually, the biggest flaw in Prince John's plan would have been his attempt to hang friar tuck. Arresting a member of the clergy was bad enough, but actually executing him would quite possibly have triggered the Pope to punish England severely. (In the actual history, John was excommunicated and church services were stopped in England for 6 years. This, more than the taxes, is what made him deeply unpopular even among the peasants)

Monstro was only an animal, so he wouldn't have had a plan or even been a villain at all. It is clear that Ursula knew that Ariel was Triton's weak spot, so she could get him where she wanted through her. Cruella was pretty insane though and wouldn't have thought things through. Gothel probably just thought that her psychological abuse would be enough to make Rapunzel stay in the tower. Jafar desired to be more powerful than anybody else and didn’t want to settle for anything less. Well, it is kind of obvious that Yzma's flea plan only was a joke. Queen Grimhilde was sure that the dwarfs would bury Snow White before Florian could find her. Even if Madame could have worded the will better, Edgar is pathetic in the most unlikable way (I feel a bit sorry for him when those dogs chase him though). Scar had always assumed that the hyenas finished their job and that Simba couldn't be alive (and he would have died if Timon and Pumbaa hadn't found him).

The Queen from the 1951 Alice in Wonderland is flat out insane.

That's one of the many things I love about the evil plans of these particular Disney villains, They may think they have it all figured out but in reality their plans are actually not as foolproof as they believe they are.

Yzma is the most hilarious and underrated Disney villain

In Yzma's defense, The Emperor's New Groove is clearly a goofy comedy that you're not really supposed to take seriously. Edger is a moron who can't understand that the cats would be aging at the same time, not in shifts, meaning a litter of kittens and their mom might actually be more financially trustworthy heirs. As for the Queen of Hearts, the entire point of Alice in Wonderland is that it's an unpredictable romp through pure maddness, of course the villain wouldn't have a clear motivation. If I was Scar, I'd do two things differently. One, I wouldn't even pretend with Simba, I'd get him right than and there. Second, I'd treat the hyaenas better. Even before Simba's return, you can see that there was unrest among them and they were complaining about the state of things. I feel like their turning on Scar in the climax was less a reaction to being blamed for everything and more the final straw.

Dishonorable mention; Bellwether from Zootopia. Her plan to make prey the dominant species by seizing the mayordom was (kinda) thwarted by hubris and speciesism.

Monstro doesn’t belong here. He’s just a hungry predator

Well for Goob, technically he no longer exists given how he woke up on time to catch the ball and the hat was not going to be invented so now his desire for revenge is gone too

Jafar could have been sultan without the lamp because he just needed to use his staff’s mind control abilities

Rapunzel is growing up, meaning she is growing older and will eventually die. Mother Gothel is screwed no matter what.

A villain has to give a well thought out plan of evil, an incompetent one or poorly thought-out ones always fails easily.

Given what Edgar has done to the cats is wrong, but the woman who was making her testament leaving her fortune her cats is ridiculous.

Edgar is actually so stupid 😂

I agree with all of these… except for Ursula! Honestly… her plan, with processes like stealing Ariel’s voice, was amazing to see!

I think Hans should of been on the list because for Hans to succeed he would have needed Anna alive but either way he wouldn’t be able to be king of Arendelle because of blood so if he wanted to be king he could’ve just plotted something to make sure he was next in line for the throne in the southern isles

I’m surprised they didn’t include the Coachman from Pinocchio. That plan’s fate is worse than death.

In my opinion, Edgar wasn't thinking big enough in terms of sending the cats someplace further away. I mean hypothetically speaking if it were me I would've sent the cats somewhere even further than Timbuktu, Like China or even the South Pole.

Correction: Scar DIDN'T know that Simba got away. He specifically ordered his hyenas to kill Simba, and thought he was dead all that time. In reality, of course, the hyenas gave up too soon and lied to him. When he sees that Simba DID, in fact, survive, he shoots the hyenas a look, then ALMOST succeeds in turning the pride against Simba by making it seem like he was responsible for Mufasa's death. The only reason his plan failed was because Scar couldn't help but gloat before he killed Simba, making Simba mad enough to pin him to the ground and make him admit it.

Ursula's plan was literally a smashing success. She took over the trident and took out the king. She only died because she let her ego and the power get to her. Her plan itself was a success.

If you think about it, scar's reign was doomed to have a bloody end, regardless if simba had died or not. Even if he had done the smarter thing and taken care of cub simba himself, the pridelands would still end up as a wasteland. And with no food, the Hyenas would eventually end up turning on scar anyways, once they realised their "infinite meat" was no longer infinite. Scar's true failure was in ever allowing the hyenas back into the pridelands. Mufasa had a damn good reason for banning the hyenas, but Scar lacked the wisdom to understand that reason. Scar's character is a perfect example of how Intelligence and Wisdom are NOT the same.

This really does show why Disney's fascination with trying to expand their classic villains into three-dimensional characters with dark tragic backstories never works. At the end of the day, they're supervillains who do cartoonishly evil things because that's what they are, cartoons. You don't question why Tom constantly tries to bash Jerry over the head with a hammer because that's what he does. Trying to give a "realistic" or "understandable" explanation for why a character would do something so cartoonishly over the top, NEVER WORKS. Giving Cruella a dead mom backstory to explain why she has a hate boner for Dalmatians doesn't make her a three-dimensional person. It makes your original version look stupid by association.

You're correct about Cruella De Vil. Clearly she has never heard of fake fur.

I'm a little surprised that you didn't include King Magnifico from "Wish". He directly TOLD Asha that he had no intention of returning the wishes to their rightful owners. This foolishness led to both Asha summoning Star and his own fall from grace.

Anyone else find it funny how Madame didn't seem in any way considered that Edgar seemed to just mysteriously vanish at the end? 😂

Disney VS Warner Bros! After 100 Years!

You forgot to mention that the evil queen didn't have an escape plan to evade the dwarves on their on turf.

The Evil Queen's was quite evil actually. Sure, the poison apple only made her sleep forever, but her real plan was to make Snow White suffer by being buried alive. It might've worked, if the dwarfs did not make a glass coffin instead of burying her. Should've added Hades to this list, his plan was to turn Hercules mortal and then kill him. But instead of doing it himself, he let his minions do it and they failed. P.S. I'd like to see Maui battle Monstro and collect one of his teeth as a trophy to add to his neckless.

Another stupid thing about Gothel is that she would have put the magic flower in a pot and hidden it in her hiding place so that no one would find it. Instead, she decided to hide it in a fake bush in the same place. When she accidentally burned the fake bush, the king's men discovered the flower.

Can you do Top 10 best Disney Villain plans?

Personally, I think you guys should have included Philip Benedict's plan from Recess School's Out. I mean, the guy literally tried to create a permanent global winter just for some higher test scores. I don't know about you, but I think that's going a little too far just to get some higher test scores.

Even if their plans weren't that good. Without them, the movies would've been very boring.

Tbh If I was any of these villains I'll probably have a backup plan since most then don't seem to think it through especially Jafar and Scar but hey we still admire their twisted plans even though their pretty messed up

While the evil queens plan is a bit..elaborate… she does explain why she’s not afraid of Snow White being revived- literally right after she finds out about true loves kiss. It’s because she assumed (logically) that once she was dead she’d be buried and therefore inaccessible. There was no reason for her to think she’d be kept in a glass coffin

The Emperor's new groove was one of my childhood favorites!!!

As Buttercup from the PowerPuff Girls said: “Villains are stupid.” That these Disney Villains are stupid that their plans will never work.

I never get tired of seeing "Pull the lever Kronk!" Or "Wrong Lever!"

10- Monstro is a whale and acts on pure animalistic instinct 9- Ursula did have some hiccups in her plan to gain power of the oceans and seven seas but becoming a giant was her ultimate downfall - if she was compared to another character it be Darth Sidious: overconfidence as a weakness 8- Cruella De Vil here leaving her plan in the hands of the boneheads of Horace and Jasper was a bad idea, and in my opinion she is the number one Disney villain, but for me the best part is at the end after the crash "You idiots! You- you fools! Oh you imbeciles!" "Aw shut up." 😂😂😂 6- Jafar was already in a position to grab power from the sultan with his staff he didn't really need a genie to get more power he was too greedy to see that "It's mine. It's all mine. I... Where is it? No. NOOOoooo" 5- Yzma: only one thing to say: "Pull the lever, Kronk. 🕳️ WRONG LEVER! 3- Edgar I feel sorry for him, overheard how all of his mistress' belongings were being inherited to her cat's and then him is hard thing to hear but cat napping them and sending them to the french countryside and then Timbuktu was a horrible choice 1- Queen of Hearts you would figure would have more compassion than anger and rage, not to mention the pleasure of yelling out "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!"

Wait... Monstro had a bad plan... correction: He had a plan? What do you want to plan, if a peski little boat makes you snease and comes out your mouth. There is no plan and therefor no bad plan. It is even questionable if Monstro was a villain, since he was just an animal, guided by instincts.

I agree with most of these, but didn't expect Queen of Hearts to be at Number One.

The thing about the Red Queen is that even though she has no plan or ambition, she's still a winner because other than Alice nobody opposes her. Where as others like Prince John and Scar inspire rebellion in their subjects due to the way they rule her whims and rage are just accepted. That actually scared me as a kid because everybody just went with whatever she wanted, she had people killed and NOBODY cared. No rebellion. No "Hey kid you wanna join a resistance". Her people backed her.

8:21 - CATS?!😂

Dissing Monstro for not having a good villain plan is like dissing my cat for not having a good villain plan. Neither is trying to be a villain in the first place.

Why are we even calling Monstro's actions a "plan". He is an animal intent on eating, not scheming.

Monstro is just an animal. A very mean animal. Uraula's plan was actually working until Ariel's friends discovered her plan and ruined it. I think the reason why Cruella chose to steal the puppies was because she didn't like being turned down when she offered to pay them and did it out of spite. Also, while she and Anita are old friends, Cruella doesn't like her husband Roger. Probably because of that song he made about her since he doesn't like her either. Gothel. I agree that she should have chosen a different birthday for Rapunzel or moved moved someplace else. Jafar wanted to be all powerful, and that did him in. He got trapped in a lamp after becoming a genie until the direct to video sequel, where he ended up being released. Yzma. Apparently, she doesn't want to do the simple way of killing Kuzco. Evil Queen. Vanity. Goob or Bowler Hat Guy. He let his past ruin his future. He probably has a better future now since Lewis prevented the event that caused him to go down a miserable path. Edgar was an idiot. He could've waited until the cats died of nature causes, and then he would have gotten the money. Captain Hook. Flaws in his plans. Prince John. Greed and other stupid decisions. I think the reason why Scar didn't do away with Simba himself and had the hyenas do it because he would have had Simba's blood on his hands or paws. Perhaps the lionesses would have smelled it and realized he had killed Simba. Yes, he could have washed the blood away afterwards, but it is possible he could've been spotted by someone. So he figured get others to do the job for him. Unfortunately for Scar, the hyenas failed in their job. The Queen of Hearts. She is just crazy.

No I disagree with the monster option. The film treats this whale like a total force of nature more than an actual character. Plus he does not have any motive other than just eating. It makes no sense to include him just for being an animal

Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your destiny!

I swear sometimes you don’t follow through for the sake of convenience. If you continue the Queens scene of reading the book, she makes her logic quite clear. The dwarves would think she’s dead and bury her (alive). Therefore she’d be out of the way, dead in the ground and the fairest IN the land. Her plot failed because “so beautiful, even in death, the dwarves could not find it in their hearts to bury her.” It went awry because of factors beyond her control.

For me syndromes plan is idiotic and full of holes for 2 reasons 1. His revenge scheme is all bc Mr incredible rejects him and he couldn't take it like a damn man and accept the hero life isn't for him. 2. His plot for world domination is to be seen as a hero and sell him s product to everyone so they can be supers. Also what doesn't make sense is that he is pushing his buttons to dislocate the omnibots arm right in front of the audience so how doesn't anyone see he's pulling the strings

The absolute worst Disney villain plan is that of the grandpa, King Runeard, from "Frozen II." (SPOILERS) First of all, he's already dead. He personally killed the leader of the Northuldra while on some kind of diplomatic picnic. This sparked a battle that not only killed the king himself, but apparently all of the soldiers who were in on his secret evil plan. It also almost killed his son and only heir, whom he decided to bring along. Runeard failed to pass his prejudice on to the next generation, as his son married "the enemy." And the rest of his people don't hate the Northuldra, either. His only evil legacy is a dam that just sits there waiting to be destroyed. His own granddaughter destroys it. If only evil people in real life were this incompetent.

Well, just hypnotizing the Sultan into granting him power was Jafar's Plan B when he lost the lamp the first time. That plan just happened to have also failed...aside from opening up a new opportunity for Plan A. Wishing to be a genie was a big mistake, though. Although, he almost made it work for him in "The Return of Jafar," but then he got too greedy in trying to concoct the perfect revenge scheme instead of just letting Aladdin die the first time he and Abis Maul got the better of him.

Happy Holidays. Wishing you guys all the best.

Here's another one that's more recent: King Magnifico showing Asha where he keeps the people's wishes. He didn't even officially hire her as his apprentice yet!

I'm a comic book writer(I come up with my own ideas) and I know how hard it is to finish one chapter of a story. Some of these antagonist's plans were written simply to not over complicate them(their plans) in a way that the protagonists will fix the problem easier. but the villain makes it hard for them.

I feel like some villains just have to go so hard to get what they want like the Evil Queen, all she could've done is just give some of her things to people in need instead of poisoning her step daughter. Mother Gothel is another example, She should've try botox or any make up. Bowler Hat Guy needs therapy, Jafar should've hypnotize the Sultan, Yzma should've posion Kusko, and Scar needs to confront Mufasa.

I wouldn't include Monstro here. The whale had no plan whatsoever, as its only aim was to feed.

The aristocats villain plan is always shocking

Wait a minute Jafar,Scar ,and Ursula had brilliant plans of being rulers and wanting power. Yzma was just mad for Kuzco for firing her.

I once read a fan theory that said after Scar killer Mufasa, Mufasa's spirit put a curse over The Pride Lands to where there would be no rain until Simba becomes king. This makes since as Scar was not the rightful next heir to the throne & the characters point out how it hasn't rained in years, yet as soon as Simba becomes king it rains signaling the end of Scar's reign.

What about Madame Medusa in The Rescuers. She may have been ok with a little girl drowning in an attempt to recover the Devil's Eye, but if Penny drowned it would only delay Medusa's chance of getting the diamond and bring her closer to being caught even if she kidnapped another child and the same thing happened, so no benefits there. She would've been better off doing what would make Penny succeed and get the diamond even with no qualms at drowning a child or anything else so horrible, because Medusa's goal is to get the diamond and she needed someone small enough to do it, so would she rather delay her chance of getting the diamond? It's much more logical for someone who only wants a diamond and is willing to drown a child to instead send the child down there when it's not high tide so they can get the diamond without drowning, which wouldn't have helped Medusa get the diamond and lead to unnecessary delays. And she doesn't exactly have all the resources she needs, so kidnapping another child and doing the whole ruthlessness-over-logic shtick would bring her closer to being caught.

Top 10 Disney Heroes Victories

12:14 Moe Syzslak: White rabbit? Chicks popping mushrooms? This is like the Playboy Mansion. 😒

I'm just glad Hades wasn't on this list. He is one of my top 3 fav Disney villains. The other two are Maleficent and Frollo, who also wasn't on this list, which I'm pretty happy about

Jafar was a great villain,but why did he need the magic lamp if he could just have brainwashed the Saltan into giving the throne to him? Overthinking and power hunger proved his undoing.

Hans should be here too

(Serious) For those who have been inquiring about why Scar did not killed Simba, it is worth nothing, lions lack the knowledge of blood stain removal. So he had the hyenas to do the dirty work instead. It is, in fact, a logical decision by Disney.

Personally I think scar’s mistake was trying to pin the blame on the hyenas when they could overhear him

Kuzko actually knew about the lab, he was just too arrogant to ever consider it a problem

In Disney's Alice In Wonderland, it is all just a dream of hers.

This should've been named Disney villain plans backfires

Well TBH Scar did send those Hyenas to get Simba and kill him. But they were idiots. So that doesn't quite help.

Yzma: pull the lever kronk, WRONG LEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yeah, Edgar's plan was stupid. Just inherit the millions and also four cats. Plus, don't dispose of the cats while the heiress is still alive.

Edgar’s plan may not have been well thought out, but he did have a good motive. I mean, what did Madam expect her pet cats to do with the money?

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤

What about Hades? Like scar, his plan was to overthrow his brother and take over. And he had to kill his nephew. Expect he relied on his minions to do the job. Minions who failed, lied about failing, and later wore the nephew's merchandise. He should have just killed hercules himself. By the way, being the lord of the underworld, how did Hades fail to notice Hercule's soul not coming into the underworld?

You should have added Lady Tremaine. If she had helped Cinderella be with the Prince instead of letting her pride get in the way, Cinderella would have forgiven her, because that was the kind of person she was, and Lady Tremaine and her daughters could have cashed in as relatives of the princess.

6:46 I never got this joke as a kid, but now the “ah-ha” moment makes me laugh She’s just gonna straight up stab them

Hans from Frozen should've been on this list for sure! He came from another kingdom and convinced Anna to fall in love with him and she was quick to agree and he was only trying to marry her so he could take over Arrendele! He should've been on this list!

I don't think Scar belongs in this list even as honorable mention. He ordered them to kill Simba and thought it trough his allies just didn't deliever.

5:55 The "Old Woman Scary Beyond All Reasons."

As a non-sentient animal, Monstro never had a "plan", so shouldn't be on this list unless you're just trying to pad it out. 🤨

I think Judge Claude Frollo from Hunchback Notre Dame should be here

Who's the fairest of them all? Try who's the stupidest one of them all? Mirror: "Are you sure you want me to answer that?"

Monstro is a whale, an animal. He doesn't scheme or plan, he just eats. Now the Coachman, he had a clever and cruel plan that earned him lots of money and he was never actually shown being stopped. He could continue to trick kids into going to Pleasure Island. Yzma and Goob are deliberately ridiculous for the sake of humour.

I don't know, i don't have any experience being Bad, but, this was a nice top nonetheless. Thanks, Emely, and a happy friday morning to you as well. Take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia.

Why isn’t Princess and The Frog not more involved with some line ups ?

King Louie asked a child how to make fire... a child raised in the jungle... asking him how to make something that could destroy his entire home. I know he isn't the main villain, but I think he still deserves a spot

The Evil Queen from Snow White didn't create an antidote to her potion, to turn back into herself. How could she be the fairest in the land while still looking like an old hag?!

I'm happy to see Bowler Hat Guy as number 2 on this list. Meet the Robinsons is such a fun movie.

I believe Magnifico from Disney's Wish is now consider to be the worst Disney villains ever.

Ursala could have just told flotsam and jetsom to steal tritons triton while he was asleep, but then they probably would've betrayed Ursula and taken the triton for themselves.
