Judge Claude Frollo v Emperor Belos

The Finals!

Frollo:

"Frollo has always been the scariest villain to me because his evil is so realistically portrayed. He represents the evils of rape culture, but he goes throughout the whole movie believing he is the good guy, and he never recognizes his own hypocrisy."

Belos:

despite living with the witches for a crazy long time, he never reconsiders his prejudices or genocidal end goal. According to trivia, he is often considered to have been a Puritan before everything happened.

Disney Villains Haul! - Amazon, Scentsy, & MORE!

[yen-sids-tournament]

New Halloween Tournament!

Greetings one and all! We are going to have a mini-16 contestant tournament for our scariest Disney Villains the week before Halloween!

Please submit the Villain who gave you the most nightmares from your childhood (and later-hood too)! You may submit whomever but only the most evil, most creepy, most diabolical of the batch will make it to the top 16!

Feel free to submit as many individuals as you want (on their own forms) but only submit a character once per person please. If there happens to be a tie of submissions, a villain with the more propaganda will be picked to compete/seeded higher over one without.

It is also important to note, while this is about finding the evilest, scariest, most unsettling baddie, rudeness in propaganda will not be tolerated.

Nominations are now open and will close on the 21st (you have three weeks). The Tournament will be starting October 24th. Each round will be 24 hours and the next round will be posted the day after the previous one ends. This should mean our finalist will be announced on Halloween, October 31st!

Sadly, this does mean the Animal Bestie Disney/NonDisney Tournament will go on hiatus for that week.

Our Halloween Villain Mini Tournament!

We are excited to get underway with our Halloween tournament!

There is just one more thing we need: we have six entries that qualify but only three spaces left in the 16!

Below is the preliminary bracket of all 6 and the top 3 will advance to the official bracket!

It's Our Birthday!!!

We are now 1 year old!

In the past year we have hosted 5 fun Disney tournaments! And with your input we have determined:

Mulan (1998) has the best music of all the animated movies

Emperor Belos (TOH) is the scariest, most disturbing, and evil of all the Villains

Stitch (Lilo and Stich) is our favorite Animal Best Friend in Disney

and Toothless (HTTYD) emerged as the winner of the beloved animal besties not under the Disney umbrella

Fix-It Felix and Sergeant Calhoun (Wreck-It Ralph) have the Truest Love

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) is the absolute best sequel Disney has made

but Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) is the hard won best animated sequel in the collection.

We also have had other exciting polls over the last year, including the Superbowl, quite a few Menagerie Battle Royals, and the Original or Remake series.

Thank you for playing along with us, and stick around for a while. We have more fantastic ideas for our second year of tournaments ahead!

Emperor Belos Wins the Halloween Villains Tournament!

After defeating Judge Claude Frollo, our most submitted villain, Emperor Belos takes his place front and center.

We had a great time thanks to all who contributed! There were a few surprises to us (like Cruella squeaking out a win over Maleficent and the Evil Queen not being a semi-finalist) but there isn't much evidence to find for why Belos isn't a scary and diabolical guy.

Our Animal Besties will return later this week, or this weekend.

Happy Halloween!

I think it's funny that we collectively agreed (through the finals setup) that the scariest type of guy Disney could come up with was a morally corrupt old white guy from a couple hundred years ago.

WE WERE JUST LITERALY GOING ON ABOUT THIS!!!

These two seem to have sooo many similarities!! It's almost like "who is scarier? the original or the reflection?"

[yen-sids-tournament]

Judge Claude Frollo v Scroop

Propaganda below:

Frollo:

"He was lusting after Esmeralda and when she refused him he tried to have her killed so…yeah. Nightmare inducing predatory man."

"He kidnaps a baby, considers dropping it into a well after discovering it's deformed, only decides not to because he fears eternal damnation, keeps the boy locked up in a tower and emotionally abused and gaslights him for the first 19 years of his life, doesn't help him or even bat an eye when he's being humiliated and attacked for his disability, is racist towards gypsies, and wanted to have Esmeralda (a gypsy) as his sex slave, or else he would kill her. And he does all this, and STILL thinks he's not at fault because of his religion. And I think that's the scariest thing about him, because there's so many Claude Frollos in the world. He's one of the most REAL Disney villains."

Scroop:

"He's a spider alien so fits right in for Halloween! Also, he's very cruel and ruthless."

This dude just cuts the safety rope to send the first officer into the abyss of space. No regrets, probably enjoyed it.

[yen-sids-tournament]

Gaston v Emperor Belos

Propaganda: (spoilers?)

Gaston:

"The Disney villain you are most likely to meet in real life, Gaston is the embodiment of toxic masculinity."

"He always seemed so realistic, I knew guys like him."

Emperor Belos:

"He almost succeeded in killing an entire world full of people and only lost because of a variable he litterly could not have accounted for. He's also a bit body horror-y and by the end of the show he's basically falling apart and needs another body to latch onto. He also successfully kills many people including some najor characters"

"The Finale."

[yen-sids-tournament]

Davy Jones v The Sanderson Sisters

Propaganda:

Davy Jones:

"The CGI animation, especially for the time (2006), was so well done; I remember having chills and being legit scared of the writhing tentacles on screen when watching as a kid in theaters. Yes, his backstory makes him less of a true evil villain and more of a character who does evil things, but I'm honestly nominating him on vibes and appearances alone. This guy was terrifying to me as a child and his appearance to this day is still striking!"

The Sanderson Sisters:

"Even though they were meant to be comedic, this movie scared me so much as a kid that I’ve avoided it even as an adult (still like the songs in isolation tho). It was ‘cause the dead kids stayed dead at the end. I think at that point in my childhood, I was so used to stories where the kids would be fine or anything bad happening to them would be reversed. So when the ending happened and the kids the witches killed went to Heaven it struck me existentially. Not just about the “kids can die too” part, but finally the implications of that boy who was stuck as a black cat for decades hit me in that moment and depressed me too. All the jokes will not let me forget what these witches have done."

[yen-sids-tournament]

The Horned King v Turbo/King Candy

Propaganda:

The Horned King:

"He's an undead skeleton raising an army of undead skeletons AND he has a terrible temper. He's terrifying in every scene he's in!"

This movie bombed because it was scary. Because even Disney couldn't lighten this villain up.

Turbo/King Candy:

"He's not the first twist villain, but he is THE twist villain - carefully built up with references throughout the film, referred to in hushed, almost superstitious tones, and then revealed as a manipulative madman glossing himself over with a thin candy-shell of care and concern. And all this is BEFORE he tries to bludgeon a child on a speeding go-kart and BEFORE he morphs into the nightmare Candybug still intent on killing Ralph and this one child and happy to see yet another world destroyed so long as he gets his way and is preserved himself! He's scary and HUGELY entertain, and deserves to be King here too!"

[yen-sids-tournament]

Maleficent v Zira

propaganda:

Maleficent:

"The scene where Aurora returns to the castle and is assumedly safe but is then guided by this eerie green light to the tower where the spinning wheel is haunted me as a child. Also, everyone does everything in their power to make sure her curse doesn’t come true but it’s all in vain and she succeeds. Her dragon form is very metal. Like, she is not holding back at all."

What kind of a person curses a baby because she was snubbed?

Zira:

"Her song "My Lullaby" pulls no punches. "The sound of Simba's dying gasp / His daughter squealing in my grasp / His lioness's mournful cry / That's my lullaby" -- yikes okay!!"

"Even when all her followers/brainwasher child soldiers change sides and leave her she still refuses to give up on her revenge plot and wants to take everyone down with her."

Halloween Villains Tournament Round 1

We now have a complete bracket for the mini-tournament!

The point of this tournament is to establish the Scariest, Spookiest, most Diabolical and Nightmare-Inducing of all of Disney's Evil Villains! We do think all 16 of these submissions are all terribly twisted in their own ways, which clearly helps sell their story arcs.

The first round will be tomorrow, October 24th, each round will be 24 hours. The parings are:

Judge Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) v Scroop (Treasure Planet)

Oggie Boogie (The Nightmare Before Christmas) v Man the Hunter (Bambi)

Cruella De Vil (101 Dalmatians) v The Headless Horseman (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)

Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) v Zira (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride)

Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog) v The Evil Queen/Hag (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) v Emperor Belos (The Owl House)

The Horned King (The Black Cauldron) v Turbo/King Candy (Wreck It Ralph)

Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest) v The Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus)

Propaganda is encouraged and we will try our best to reblog comments like in the regular tournaments, even though these rounds are the shorter option.

We are looking forward to announcing the winner on Halloween!

Cruella De Vil v The Headless Horseman

Propaganda:

Cruella:

"1st off her entire motivation is literally that she wants to kill puppies, nothing else. 2nd off her name is just Cruel Devil, spelt weird. 3rd, the car chase scene, where her eyes start doing the crazy spiral thing as she crashes into everything? Peak unhinged behavior, nightmare inducing"

The Headless Horseman:

"A huge fan of cutting off people's heads, the best Evil Laugh ever, sore loser when a dude crosses a bridge and throws a pumpkin at him"

[yen-sids-tournament]

Dr. Facilier v The Evil Queen/Hag

Propaganda:

Dr. Facilier:

"Was fully intent on genociding ALL of New Orleans to save his own skin. Like.. that's his actual villainous plan more or less. He's also got a killer spooky blacklight aesthetic"

The villain song was very dark and unsettling, it used all the Villain colors for him.

The Evil Queen/Hag:

"She looked scary, she gave Snow White a poisoned apple under false pretenses (pretending to be someone nice), she was an unwanted stranger coming to your door when you think you have found somewhere safe to live."

"The scene where she transforms in a old lady gave me so many nightmares her evil laugh was ON POINT"
