Top 20 Most Relatable Disney Villains 

Which villain is the most like YOU? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 20 Disney Villains with the Saddest Backstories - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nb4xgIXMgHk.html

"As kids, we idolize the heroes. As adults, we understand the villains."

Yzma and Kronk practically stole the entire show away from Kuzco and Pacha, with Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton clearly having a blast hamming it up.

Hades' humor, anger management issues, and hating his job are all so reliable to me and thousands of others, and part of why he's persisted as one of the greatest Disney villains to this day.

Yzma is hands down the best Disney villain. I was rooting for her the entire time because Kuzco was so annoying.

I can imagine how many people connect to Hades as their spirit animal. Especially with those personality traits😂

I think Prof. Callaghan from Big Hero 6 would have deserved a spot on the list. The man wanted to punish the guy who is responsible for his daughter's death. That's a pretty relatable motivation.

Yzma has been and always will be my spirit animal!!! Rest in power Eartha Kitt!!!! "Is there anything on this menu that is not swimming in Gravy?????" "Wrong Lever!!!!!'😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

My favorite fact about Hades is that all these other actors came in and played Hades as menacing, then James Woods comes in and plays him like a used car salesman, and that's what they stuck with. I love it

Syndrome was a man-child that was still following his childhood dream. But as for letting him down easy, I would've said that he's too young and inexperienced. He did say he didn't need training. Mr. Incredible moves and fighting styles r just a small portion. So that and his age would've gotten him killed very easily.

It’s a shame that Treasure Planet is underrated because Silver is a very relatable villain and important character. He becomes a surrogate father to Jim, despite being the reason he and his mother lose their home and having false motives for the voyage, when Jim’s spent his teen years without a father. Plus, I love having a disabled character and how they address it, showing how people can judge those who are different, but Silver is still capable of doing things and I love the animation with his mechanical arm and the many features it has. That representation is perfect

Even though she’s not a movie villain, Shego is another relatable villain as she’s one of the most moody which many can relate to in that sense.

#20: John Silver (Treasure Planet) #19: Captain Gantu (Lilo & Stitch) #18: Henry J. Waternoose (Monsters, Inc.) #17: Stinky Pete the Prospector (Tody Story 2) #16: Shere Khan (The Jungle Book) #15: Randall Boggs (Monsters, Inc. & Monsters University) #14: Chef Skinner (Ratatouille) #13: Gabby Gabby (Toy Story 4) #12: Michael “Goob” Yagoobian (a.k.a. Bowler Hat Guy) (Meet the Robinsons) #11: Ursula (The Little Mermaid) #10: Sid Philips (Toy Story) #9: Jafar (Aladdin) #8: Captain Hook (Peter Pan) #7: Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) #6: Syndrome (The Incredibles) #5: Scar (The Lion King) #4: Edgar Balthazar (The Aristocats) #3: Mother Gothel (Tangled) #2: Yzma (The Emperor’s New Groove) #1: Hades (Hercules)

The most relatable part of Goob is that he never got over that baseball game and believed that everyone hated him when they didn't care about that anymore

Plus, with Sid from Toy Story...it could potentially be implied that he has a rough childhood and maybe an abusive father given the fact their dog seems to be afraid of going near the dad as well as the fact Sid has multiple locks installed on his bedroom door.

I love the fact that a lot of Disney ‘Villains’ are Queercoded. Ursula is the most campy obviously considering the inspiration was a Drag Queen.

Yzma and Hades are the mood ✔️

Good list. Actually according to Kuzco, "now lately, Yzma has gotten into this bad habit" and he said to her "you were doing it AGAIN", meaning that she "took charge without acknowledging" more than once.

Gothel ended up on this list?? Ok, I'm sure we're all totally against kidnapping an infant girl from her parents who has magic rejuvinating powers in her hair, but isolating Rapunzel in a tower for 18 years of her life via Stockholm Syndrome still is an inexcusable crime and in no way "relatable". And let's not forget, in the _Rapunzel Tangled Adventures_ tie-in series, Gothel abandonded her unwanted daughter Cassandra the very night she absconded Rapunzel.

That's one of my many favorite things about these particular Disney villains, Because one of the many things that Disney never fails to do is make villains relatable!

192: Mother Gothel. The worst villain ever for her actions. I don’t know how many times I’ve bought this up but she’s an actual mother in the Disney animation canon to have a daughter named Cassandra, even though she was cut from the movie and everyone wouldn’t see this character as anyone’s mom. When she kidnapped the princess for selfish deeds, she left her daughter and pursuit her goals as a woman with the youth potion from the Princess’s hair

I always believed that Mr. Waternoose was trying to do the right thing (Saving his company from the energy crisis) but with the wrong methods (Collecting kids screams by force)

Oh I absolutely agree with Woods as Hades! Sense of humor and sarcasm plus inept coworkers and a job I don’t like…all that, can totally relate. Great choice as # 1. And shout out to Kit’s yzma as #2 as well, I know what it’s like to do so much for and come in clutch for someone and get zero credit nor acknowledgement. 👌🏻 to both.

As someone whose been tearing up my sisters Barbie dolls as a kid (an ironic thing to bring up now), Sid was like the person I didn’t want to relate to, yet still did

They aren't villains because of why they did, they're villains because of what they did.

Another understandable reason for Scar: their translated names are King (Mufasa) and Garbage (Taka, Scar's actual name)....

#3 Mother Gothel relatable? Hardly. If I grow old, then I’ll deal with it with dignity, acceptance, and grace. Furthermore, I would NEVER screw over anyone if I was given the option to stay young forever.

I didn’t think Skinner was the villain, per se, of Ratatouille until he kidnapped Remy, since he was suspicious of Linguine and tried figuring it out

Hades pretty much has a relatable mindset to Homelander, except he knows he’s not the king of his universe 😅

13:55 In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult. Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions. Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect. And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.

The thing with Ursula was just a thing between siblings. Jealous Triton was given the crown, decided to become his advisor, got power hungry and was banished.

4:27 While Stinky Pete nearly convinced Woody about staying with him and the Roundup Gang in the Japan toy museum because they would be loved and adored, it would have been really worse for them. Given that museums have security cameras to avoid any kind of theft, this means that the Roundup Gang would have been forced to never move ever again. Of course, given his hatred towards children, Stinky Pete would have easily gone through with this but not his friends, serving this as an example of his extreme selfishness. However, he’s too tragic to be considered Pure Evil.

I feel like the Carnotaurs from Dinosaur deserve a mention. Looking for food is something all of us relate to, regardless of species.

Actually, Hades was Zeus's OLDER brother in Greek mythology!

Ursula, while she didn’t *TECHNICALLY* break the contract, did quite a bit sabotage Ariel’s attempts to fulfill it so that she wouldn’t lose, right down to using Ariel’s siren powers to make Eric fall in love with her once it was clear Ariel was actually on the cusp of establishing their love. She never had any intention of letting Ariel stay human.

Maestro Forte from Beauty and the Beast-The Enchanted Christmas has come to be pretty relatable to me,especially for his song "Don't Fall in Love". While as a kid,just for any other villain,I didn't share his opinions,now I see myself in him more than I ever thought I would,and,at every rewatch,I'm still kinda surprised to notice how similar we are in way of thinking,opinions and jabs

Chernabog should be on the list! He’s the baddest of the bad!

Surprised Doctor Facilier didn’t make the cut.

15:02 Syndrome was one of the few interesting explorations of Stan Culture.

IDK, to be honest I always felt like the reason Gantu was fired is because he kidnapped/endangered a child. So he wasn't fired for trying to do the job he was asked to do, he was fired for going outside the bounds of the law and morality in order to do said job (which essentially amounted to him causing an interplanetary incident). Especially considering that the Galactic Federation seems to have something similar to the Prime Directive, which Gantu's actions probably violated.

Yzma probably is the most relateable to me. I do have parents that doesn't listen to my advices, and as the gardener for an entire village, who doesn't really listen either, it's quite infuriating to say the least. It feels like i went to college for nothing. I and Yzma basically share the thing that we have to deal with people we've known for most of our lives, only for said people to not listen to the advice, despite said people know it's better to listen to the people who know their stuff.

I relate to Chick Hicks because of my desire to show the world my writing skills and prove myself that I can be a professional

Peter pan is also a villain (at least in the books). He kidnaps kids and takes to neverland. In the books he kills them when they start to grow up.

the feeling of being excluded is hurtful i know that feeling and feeling ignored is worse than being dumped

If Goob had thought about it, he'd have used the Time Machine to try and change his past. But possible paradoxes might have ensured, had he done that.

Thanks for including Pixar. Syndrome/Buddy Pine is easily Pixar’s most relatable villain because he was turned down by his idol which forced him down his dark path

Kronks comment of you think he would have turned out better is very valid, but no telling how much slack she had been given over the years and how many times she was caught making decisions behind the emperor's back that weren't even better than his.

I'm sure that all tigers would be like Shere Khan if they were as aware of what humans can do to his species as he is!

Gantu in the lilo and stitch show was great too. 😂

Yeah, me relating to Ursula? Never going to happen!

Can you do a video on muffins best moments from Bluey

Another thing that people have pointed out with Maleficent is that, during Medieval Times, a Christening within a royal family was considered such an important event that everyone in the kingdom was supposed to attend. In fact, her not being invited would've been considered an even bigger insult during those times.

Here's my list: 5. Ursula - She's hated for being deceitful when she hasn't lied to anybody. 4. Jafar - His first wish is to realize his power-hungry no-nos. 3. Maleficent - Home girl doesn't take sides, she just does what she wants. 2. Hook - I'd be pretty pissed too if a manchild amputated me and sicced a crocodile on me to boot. 1. Queen Grimhilde - Queen is right. As soon as this lovely baby learns that she can trick a band of simps into burying a teenage girl alive, her unbelievably kissable face just lights up with joy of the most righteous caliber imaginable.

So relatable!

For Jafar, I recommend watching Starkid's Twisted

You also missed Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and Phillium Benedict from Recess: School's Out; Gaston wants to be with Belle and tries hard to get her to like him (he even ignores every other girl for Belle and plans about their lives together) and so it may be easy to side with how she rejects him as she does (and may go to extremes). And Benedict just wanted to improve the school system and couldn't see any other way but to get rid of Recess to do so. He also got fired and his best friend was behind it; imagine if that happened to you. Oh, what's that? You don't have sympathy for them? Then I'm telling you for the last time; don't try to look for Disney villains where there aren't any, especially not Sid, Syndrome, Hook, Yzma, Skinner, Ursula, Jafar, Maleficent, Scar, Edgar or Hades.

With Syndrome, he was too young and navie. And Mr. Incredible wasn't looking for a sidekick in the first place.

“ have you ever been excluded from a guest list” yeah but I didn’t put a curse on their innocent to die! How is that relatable

John Lassiter patterned Sid after the way he played with toys, which might explain Sid's creative elements.

For Ursula she doesn’t exactly play fair though. She had her eels flip the boat when Ariel almost got Eric to kiss her. Then she turned herself into a human and used Ariel’s voice to trick Eric into thinking she was the one who saved him not Ariel

187: Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up. Did you just say Leroy? You said Leroy

188: Scar, Hades and Yzma has something in common. To Kill and Take Over

19:11 I ADORE HER❤❤❤❤❤

[ 15:13 ] Batman and Iron Man being perfect examples.

10:22 yep it's 2023… I'm Ursula ❤

Thank For the Top 20 Video ✌️🙂💖💞😍💕💐🌟🥇🏆

Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! As a fan of Disney movies, I was impressed by the character of Turbo in "Wreck-It Ralph." He was a unique and memorable Disney villain with his own personality and motivations. His design was also impressive, with his sleek and futuristic look adding to his intimidating presence on screen. Overall, I thought that Turbo was a great addition to the world of "Wreck-It Ralph" and a testament to the skill of the 3D animators and writers behind the film.

The best way to start off this week. Happy monday afternoon Ms Mojo. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia.

I love all Disney villains but maleficent is my favorite ❤

Ratatouille is that one Disney movie that does not need or deserve a live action movie

Love this video. My daughter thinks I'm so weird because I know every Disney villain but can't name every Disney princess.

Goob has always been one of my favorite characters!

Nice list but I would have included these two: 1. Prince Hans in "Frozen" 2. Lotso in "Toy Story 3"

How 'bout Robert Callaghan/Yokai from "Big Hero 6" or Diane "Di" Amara from the "City of Monsters" arc of Season Two from "Big Hero 6: The Series"?

Yzma really needs to receive an exploding present from Delibird.

Top 10 Best Superheroes Made By Disney!

Hades is just like me when my sister gets so work-up about her boyfriend

Yzma! Absolutely!

🏹 Merida - "Brave" (2012) Everyone betrays own parents!

SHERE KHAN WAS COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED

The only ones that didn't seem so villain to me, but are understandable, are Gabby Gabby (she wasn't that bad, she just wanted to be loved by a kid) and Edgar from the Aristocats (he only resorted to that plan to abandon the cats because it seemed unfair that after so many years of loyalty, Madame decided that the cats should receive the inheritance first.

189: Maleficent is the first Disney character to say Hell

Relatable Disney Villains Gabby Gabby- I relate to Gabby Gabby the most due to rejection by others mainly because nobody seems interested by me and would not be romantically involved with me. Hades- I relate to Hades secondly due to being fluent in Sarcasm and tend to lose myself getting angry easily Mother Gothel- I relate to Mother Gothel thirdly being an actress and being theatrical is definitely my personality

I think a mixture of gabby gabby and other villains like Goob who didn’t get a night’s sleep and was traumatized by his peers and not being adopted and bullied. because for the longest time I felt I’d no voice and wasn’t loved.

My brother and I have never had a problem with each other!

The fact that the mistresses of all evil was ranked as more relatable than the pirate father figure is alarming and concerning. Ma’am, you were left out because of choices you made, fix yourself and maybe you’ll be invited to the princess’s birthday party.

Sounds to me like the antagonist in the movie treasure planet, John, silver that feeling coursing through his body despite being an antagonist is redemption pity, remorse despite all the sins he’s committed, he still wishes to be redeemed I can relate to that

Some of these villains have relatable issues,but they always go too far!

John Sliver - is relatable because, he NOT think his past😢 He did Jim & his mother at end😊 Captain Gantu- after retirement his NEW job, he NOT doing Revenge or getting old job back. Ursurla's family- didn't think her sister.😢 Her family kick out.😢Ursurula wants payback.

Hades, my favorite

nah, Gantu was never a Villain. he was a Cop and it was his Job to capture Stitch because Stitch was seen as a Threat not just to the Earth but even to the whole Universe.

as I repeatedly mention, the "Evil" Fairy was excluded because *everyone thought she been ded* due to having been incommunicado for an unspecified amount of time also Scar & Balthazar's predicaments were actually their own faults

I For One Use To Be Like Syndrome As A Child, Always Obsessed About Being Apart Of Your Favourite Superhero's Inner Circle And Fighting Side By Side Along With Him Only To Brutally Find Out That He's Just Not Interested To Acknowledge Your Ability And Assistance In A lot Of Occasions So I Personally Understood Why He Did Things That He Did Plus His Reliance On Technology Than Superpowers is Similar To Batman ❤💖

I mean, Mother Gothel goes at the bottom of my list because she’s an abusive POS but that might just be me.

Suddenly… Maleficent and I share similarities with 2 differences: I only want to be included if I am consented. Crazy how I just want to be in any online game guild, Roblox group, and, in most cases, any Minecraft related activity. That’s a difference. I’m relatable because I want to be included in what others do, excluding dangerous and illegal activities. Well, it could’ve been worse.

Sorry, but I have to point this out. In the movie Cusco does say that she had gotten into the bad habit of trying to run the empire behind his back. Therefore, he has caught her more than once and so I believe the firing was justifiable. Tho it does sting, I’ll agree

191: Unlike other villains but I do sympathize Edgar Balthazar. I get it that The Aristocats is a classic movie but I find it ridiculous. Money for cats? What would they do for the money?

I agree with most but I change numbers 14 and 10 for 14 Charles Months from Up he was a great Explorer who got his Repartition ruined by Skipists and he was desperate to restore it 10, Professor Robert Callahan he believed that his only Daughter and likely only Living Family member was dead from a College’s reckless dismissal of a error in their Presentation and wanted Justice for it and I think Hades is the most relative Disney villain.

John Silver should be #1 on this list as he is more an anti-hero choosing to protect the kid who had become like a son to him.

Good does become good at the end and Lewis made sure to give him sleep therefore altering the past
