The Phantom Blot. > **[Mickey Mouse universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_Blot)** > > The Mickey Mouse universe is a fictional shared universe which is the setting for stories involving Disney cartoon characters, including Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, Pluto the dog and Goofy as the primary members (colloquially being known as the "Sensational Six"), and many other characters related to them, being most of them anthropomorphic animals. The universe originated from the Mickey Mouse animated short films produced by Disney starting in 1928. Still, its first cons... ---

Gaston, Ursula, and Cinderella’s stepmother. the first two have terrific songs, too. ---

I’ll go with Shere Khan from _The Jungle Book_. He was voiced by George Sanders, and every word drips cunning and malice. ---

For _Frozen_, Prince Hans, for his excellent hard face-heel turn. ---

Well, a lot of my favorites have already been listed (Jafar, Ratigan, Ysma)… but… I can’t believe nobody has stood up for Captain Hook! Hans Conried in the role he was born to voice! (I think _Peter Pan_ was really sorta edgy for its day. Hook casually shooting one of his own men was not your typical kiddie fare.) ---

Hook was good, to be sure. But…he never really seemed all that threatening. He got played with the Tiger Lily in the rowboat affair, and he got just about the worst humiliation of any Disney villain. “I’m a codfish… Sob… I’m a codfish…” He just had too many handicaps (haw haw) and too few strengths. I did like the scene where he tricked Tinkerbell into showing the location of the hideout, and, of course, sending up the bomb was a great move. But at heart, the man was too much a coward. ---

Another vote for Maleficent. She’s got the complete villain package. Let’s look at the evidence: Outfit - Black robes and horns Familiar - a raven named Diablo Motive - Didn’t get invited to the party Action - Curses newborn baby to die Bonus points Alternate form -Black dragon ---

I thought Ursula was a great villain. Ambitious, she takes advantage of Triton’s weak link (Ariel) to try to overthrow him. Gives Ariel a faustian bargain that protects her _legally_ from any intervention by Triton. Triton himself came off as pretty incompetent. Dysfunctional relationship with his daughter, gets comprised by an old exiled adversary, sits out the final battle as a little weedcreature… Dude should have just let his daughter play with pipes and forks and make out with statues, went over and zapped that octopus lady before she got the law on her side 😛 ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > Frollo is the most terrifying villain, though, because he is so completely understandable. And I still can’t believe “Hellfire” made it past the Disney board. Love Frollo–great villain, and I agree it’s because he’s understandable and believable. I can’t believe his whole _story_ made it past the Disney board, but yeah, I adore “Hellfire.” One of my all-time favorite Disney songs. My other favorite Disney animated villiain is Scar. “I’m _surrounded_ by idiots!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-animated-disney-villain/688330.md?page=2)
