Lord Shen is the "Scar" of DreamWorks , every detail about him makes this villain the best , Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of the most emotional animated movies ever

Lord Shen isn't just one of the greatest DreamWorks villains ever. He's one of the greatest villains in animation history. No one can voice Shen better than Gary Oldman 🙌🙌

What I love about Captain Dubois from Madagascar 3 is the fact that she's such a simple villain with no sad backstory, just wanted a Lion for her collection and yet the filmmakers made her into some sort of Terminator killing machine in hunting the animals which makes her such a badass, scary and entertaining villain in DreamWorks history. Hans Zimmer's amazing music for her really helps a lot too and you can just tell Frances McDormand had a lot of fun voicing her

Lord Shen from KFP 2 is undoubtedly the best villain in the Dreamworks films in my opinion! The fact that he committed genocide against the Panda’s was absolutely cruel. The way he carries himself, being high, mighty, and menacing only fuels the cool factor of his character, including how he and Po are connected in their stories. Plus, he is a skilled peacock warrior. 🦚 ⚔️

I love how "Megamind" subverts expectations. Hal, AKA Titan, would be the hero in any other movie, and Megamind the villian. But Megamind doesn't try to force Roxanne into loving him, while Hal thinks that he's entitled to her.

As for Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, let's give a shout out for Hans Zimmer in making an awesome theme song for the villains especially for Kai and Dubois which i really enjoyed every second of it

Lord Shen is my favourite animated villain out of all animation, he is so villainous and manipulative, he is is his intelligence to get what he wants and the best part about what he does is that he does it for pretty much no reason, which is what makes a true villain to me. Also him being voiced by Gary Oldman and being a rare white peacock is Fricken awsome

I recently re-watched Kung Fu Panda 2 after so long and Lord Shen is so good. Fantastic villain

Rise of The Guardians is criminally underrated but there’s one thing about this movie, the darkest villain from the shadows Pitch Black

I had no idea that Jennifer Saunders won an award for voicing the Best Villain in a Animated Movie but now I do. I can say she really delivered

Eris is one of the best movie villains ever, she's the Maleficent of DreamWorks. Pfeiffer was a perfect casting. DreamWorks always choose a perfect voice cast for their villains.

1.Gary Oldman 2.John Lithgow 3.Jennifer Saunders 4.Jude Law 5.Ralph Fiennes 6.Frances McDormand 7.Jonah Hill 8.Miranda Richardson 9.Michelle Pfeiffer 10.Ian McShane 11.Djimon Hounsou 12.F Murray Abraham 13.J. K Simmons 14.Walt Dohrn 15.Ian McKellen 16.Rainn Wilson 17.Armand Assante 18.John Malkovich 19.Alfred Molina 20.Robert De Niro

Finally seeing Pitch getting the recognition he deserves

I didn't realize DreamWorks had so many good villains. I knew Lord Shen would be at the number one spot.

The How To TrainYour Dragon trilogy is perfection... They indicate how well one can tell a mature story while being a "kid's movie" on the surface

I always loved how DreamWorks films had their share of such badass villains!

Tai lung was the antagonist but he was more shifu's than he was to Po, Kai was manage to damaged and almost make Po lose his hope, but shen broke Po and gave him PTSD

My favorite villains are Mrs. Tweedy, Pitch, Dr. Zara, Drago and Lord Shen

Dreamworks always made some really good bad guys

Great list. Rise Of The Guardians is a deeply underappreciated film. And Shen is one of the best villains ever. Love him!

Professor Marmalade from The Bad Guys!

Professor Marmalade from The Bad Guys doesn’t get a honorable mention?

DreamWorks had to offer some pretty damn cool villains and it was Great.

Tighten is a great villain who represents lust very well.

Djimon Hounsou makes Drago Bludvist incredibly menacing with his raspy voice and the blood-curling screams used for summoning and controlling dragons. Djimon Hounsou's Drago Bludvist left a long-lasting impact on the franchise, and fans continue to get chills when they see him appear in How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The pop culture references used by Dave in Penguins of Madagascar are hilarious.

"Mrs. Tweedy! The Chickens are revolting!" "Finally, something we agree on." Fave lines...

My favorite is the Fairy Godmother from " Shrek 2"

If Lord Farquaad is not number 1 I'll be so disappointed.

My favorite villains are Rameses, Tai-Lung, Lord Farquaad & Drago Bludvist

Viggo is very underrated in my opinion. Had in my opinion the best character development as far as the villians of the HTTYD franchise.

The top Greatest DreamWorks Villains that I recognize are Donald Edward "Don" Lino from Shark Tale, Dave [AKA Dr. Octavius Brine] from The Penguins of Madagascar, Gallaxhar from Monsters vs Aliens, The Toad from Flushed Away, Rumpelstiltski from Shrek Forever After, General Kai the Collecter from Kung Fu Panda 3, Drago Bludvist from How to Train Your Dragon 2, Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda, Hal Stewart [AKA Titan] from Megamind, Captain Chantel Dubois from Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians, Fairy Godmother from, Shrek 2, Lord Farquaad from Shrek, Colonel George Armstrong Custer, "SPIRIT: STALLION of the CIMARRON" and Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda

What I like about Eris is she can be seductive first, then chaotic next. And Michelle Pfeiffer nailed that duality of that attractive goddess of chaos.

Jennifer Saunders' performance gives the Fairy Godmother such life: she presents herself like a showman and knows how to play perfectly to the crowds, but behind closed doors, she can be ruthless and without mercy.

Out of all the HTTYD villains listed on this list they should’ve also included Dagur & Johann Dagur started off as a crazed warlord who’s unpredictability & determination can bring fear & intimidation towards his foes. Plus throughout the rest of the series he’s slowly became more of an antihero as we learn more about his background & the growth he developed in learning about his father & bonded with his sister Heather. Then there’s Johann, he was an antagonist that NO ONE saw coming!😱 Like Viggo & Grimmel, Johann is extremely cunning & calculative. However unlike those two, Johann knew how to play the long game in getting what he wants. He spent his years masquerading as a timid & annoying seafaring man traveling port to port to trade goods & being a loyal ally & friend to Hiccup & his loved ones, but in reality he’s a thief whom steals & murders other sailors & perceived their adventure stories as his own to cover his tracks while also abusing the Hooligan tribes trust to get what he desired the most, the king of dragons. His use of emotional manipulation managed to threw off Hiccup & his father & nearly succeeded in obtaining his life’s goal.

With stellar hand-drawn animation and Ralph Fiennes' outstanding performance, all of Ramses' emotions are laid bare, showing audiences how much this feud kills him inside.

Gary Oldman's voice gives Lord Shen a menacing tone while being able to squeeze in some humor here and there.

Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Lord Shen 2. Pitch Black 3. Captain Chantel Dubois These villains each have their style of being wicked and crucial to the worlds around of them, but Lord Shen is the most villainous because of how he sees his fate and what lead him to the dark side. I Imagine myself in the movie against Lord Shen, where I lose my right eye while fighting him (according to the time when this movie came out, I would've been 10 years old!).

This is a good list. And yeah Lord Shen is the best Dreamworks villain ever because he’s a really dark and scary villain. And Gary Oldman did a good job voicing Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2.

Kai has the most unique fighting style with a mix of strong physical attacks and using his dual blades like ranged weapons. JK Simmons' performance adds a lot to the character: normally he plays Kai as an intimidating force with nothing to fear, but when he gets annoyed or frustrated by his lack of a legacy among mortals, JK Simmons gets to have some fun in his delivery.

What makes Lord Shen such a fantastic villain is the tragedy of his character. At his core, all he longs for is happiness and self-acceptance, but he is too scarred by the past to accept what has happened and instead focus on the present moment. This leads him to pursue bigger and better conquests in the hope that they will fill the hole in his heart.

I was very surprised that DreamWorks made a villainous cop, even with a opera voice. She really is not to be messed with. Skipper knows it

Ralph Fiennes captures the emotional state of Ramses as he struggles between love and pride. This adds a strong human element to this divine story and allows audiences to empathize with Ramses' situation.

As Kung Fu Panda continues, Ian McShane constantly makes Tai Lung intriguing to watch and presents plenty of anger in scenes like the fight against Master Shifu. From rageful confrontations to demanding Shifu's pride, Ian McShane delivers every line of Tai Lung's dialogue elegantly.

Personally my favorite dreamworks villain is flushed aways the toad. Ian mckellens voice performance was stellar and he brought so much personality and arrogance to the character. He has such a tragic backstory too. Being a beloved pet before a rat came in and stole his spot, resulting in his hatred in the rodents. Not the most deep backstory but still sad. He had such a good life

Please update this list and add death the wolf from puss in boots the last wish

Ralph Fiennes brings his villainous charm to Ramses. Ian McShane plays Tai Lung as a tragic villain. Gary Oldman creates another memorable villain in Lord Shen. Jude Law brings eeriness to Pitch Black. Djimon Hounsou makes Drago Bludvist so terrifying.

And now Death/Big Bad Wolf just slipped past all of them

A huge part of Kai's success as a villain comes from his impeccable voice acting at the hands of JK Simmons, who consistently plays threatening, high concept villains like General Wade Eiling in Justice League Unlimited.

Ian McShane's voice acting hits all the right notes for a good villain: against most opponents, Tai Lung is smug, confident and assured, but with Shifu, he gives way to fury as he confronts his foster father about his role in all this.

Lord Shen was my favorite bad guy but after Puss and Boots 2 the wolf guys definitely is. Also I think Vigo is underestimated he's a great villain and just character in general

Kung Fu Panda villains are like Batman villains.

The fairy god mother from shrek 2 is my favorite that lady is a gangsta period 😂💯

Lord Shen, you really messed up and knowing that he overheard his destiny and that he went out of his way to destroy all Panda's was not cool Po's backstory always brings a tear to my eye

Jude Law usually plays more heroic characters, so to see him voice an antagonist as eerie as the Boogeyman was an intriguing change of pace for him. Jude Law infuses enough shyness and other ominous characteristics into Pitch Black, creating one of DreamWorks' scariest villains.

I think WatchMojo should make a new DreamWorks villains video because Death is definitely one of the greatest DreamWorks villains of all time.

F. Murray Abraham has a cold and calculated voice as he portrays Grimmel the Grisly in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, like he is always in control of the situation and knows what to say or do to ensure he maintains it.

I like Eris, Fairy Godmother, Lord Farquad, Hal Stewart aka Titan, Don Lino, Kai, and Tzekel Khan.

Lord Shen is one of the best DreamWorks villains thanks to his gorgeous design and how complex he is as a character. Though he presents himself as a mighty warlord, at his core he is a scarred peacock who cannot move past the trauma of being rejected by his family.

I love Dave's celebrity name drops! 🤣

Ramses is a complex character who wants to live up to the legacy of his ancestors, and his yearning causes tears in his brotherly bond with Moses. Ralph Fiennes understands what to bring to Ramses and displays his conflicts and stubbornness through scenes.

80: And that Oogway was right. He’s the reason why Po was chosen as the Dragon Warrior

You should have added Doctor Zara from Abominable as one of the honorable mentions as she was super evil as well and was a crazy surprise villain with a super big plot twist.

What makes Hal Stewart so dangerous as Tighten is that he takes a liking to his newly transformed self and gains a sense of empowerment from it. Tighten does not shy away from the disposal of his enemies in order to achieve his goals, which speaks to how he readily puts ego and power above empathy.

Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and General Kai are badass villains.

and i'm just doing a Shrek marathon rght now! what a nice top to enjoy while watching the Shrek movies( even though this top has some other Dreamworks villains as well. anywho, happy sunday Ms Mojo, and hope i see you soon for more, take care and God bless you.

WHY did noone tell me that the odious Roger Stone was the villain in 'How To Train Your Dragon 3'? (Entry # 12)😉😂 Love from Arkansas 💙

Adding to the comedic value of Chantel Shannon DuBois is a lovely and intimidating performance by Frances McDormand.

Djimon Hounsou's rough and coarse voice adds to the brutal nature of Drago Bludvist.

I personally watched the last video top 10 dreamworks villains recently and I recognised two differences 1.that pitch black is way more appreciated than last time(personally I would have put him at least at second place)2.that Captain Chantel DuBois is in my opinion low she should have at least been 4th. Overall the picks are well matched with the villains.

Ms Tweedy is still the scariest animated movie villain to me

Hal Stewart is the complete package as Tighten, but his lack of focus and uncontrollable temper keeps him from outsmarting Megamind and ranking higher.

The Prince of Egypt was one of the reasons my fascination with Egypt and the country’s lore and history came to existence.

Top 10 DreamWorks Spin-Off Shows!

Ralph Fiennes voices two of best DreamWorks villains, Ramses in the Prince of Egypt and Victor Quartermaine in Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Wait.. no Johann from RTTE? I mean..he literally attended YEARS for achieve his goal. He pretended to be Hiccup's ally just to use him and try to kill him and the riders several times making it seem like coincidences.... And Viggo must surely have been above Grimmel and perhaps also above Drago

death in puss in boots : wake up to reality

19:46 My most favorite Non Disney villain. To be fair to him it’s the weight of Legacy he was trying to live up to was what drove what happened with and to him. And it is what ended up giving him the worst consequences. 20:53 My second favorite Non Disney villain.

With Jack Horner from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, I think that this rank not only is going to be revised, but it's going to have a new number one dethroning Shen.

General Mandible is an undeniably terrifying villain, if only because the prototype presented through him is true to life.

You know you made 3 good villains when you have all of them in this list. Gg kung fu panda 1, 2 & 3 with Tai Lung, Shen & General Kai.

Gary Oldman expertly captures Shen's gleefully evil personality and remorseless behavior whenever he demonstrates his advanced weaponry or makes manipulative attempts against Po. Shen was proof that Gary Oldman can excel in both animation and live-action when portraying villains.

17:08 his nickname is written as Tighten

I don't really see Ken as a villain either. Who wouldn't be mad that their girlfriend left them for a bee?

i am biased but i think Colonel from Spirit SOTC deserves more than a honorable mention simply by the fact that he could very well have existed(not him specifically but the role he plays in real world history)

Rameses, Tai Lung and Titan, for me they are the scariest villains I'm so afraid of.

It's nice that some villains gets some regonision aslo I miss Sinbad, rise of the guardians, and megamind their my favorite movies 😄

Ian McShane captures the pain and bitterness of Tai Lung. Fans have only sympathized with Tai Lung more and continued to praise Ian McShane for his incredible voice performance.

I don’t know how much of a villain we are classing him (cause he’s typically only territorial and only really seen attacking the Penguins and Lemurs), but Joey from the Penguins of Madagascar Show was one of my favorite characters. I have no idea why. But for confirmed Villains, Dr Blowhole and Dave, both from the Madagascar Franchise.

What makes Lord Shen a dangerous enemy on the battlefield is because of his strategic planning and weapons expertise. Lord Shen is especially proficient with gunpowder and his proficiency with the ingredient pushes him to build a huge cannon to conquer all of China.

3:32 The Dave-Off

I have a request for you: Animated scenes where the main character lost their father

Pitch Black was so underrated and it would have been interesting had they shown how layered his character really was like in the books.

Dave the Octopus is a force to be reckoned with thanks to his intelligence, camouflage abilities and evil ambitions.

Kai is an amazing villain in terms of presentation in Kung Fu Panda 3. His design and jade color theme sell him as an unnatural being, and his ability to steal chi and turn his victims into jade zombies encapsulates Kung Fu Panda 3's themes on the differences between sharing knowledge and hoarding it.

Tai Lung is an intimidating fighter who is willing to fight to the extreme, and is both resourceful and unpredictable, having mastered various styles of kung fu.

17:07, I think you accidentally wrote down 7 twice. Does Hal/Titan know he’s really number seven?

Tai Lung represents what Po could have been with a bad teacher.
