10 Greatest Disney Female Villains

Disney
princesses might get all the credit, but let’s be serious – our
favorite part of every Disney cartoon is the villain, and a strong
female one at that. Here are the top 10 villains who reveled in their
evilness, and we enjoyed every minute of it.

1.
Evil Queen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

With
the first Disney animated film ever came the first animated
villainess. Although she eventually saw her demise via the Seven
Dwarves, she disguised herself as a terrifying old lady, poisoned
Snow White with an apple. She tries to kill Snow White, not just
curse her like the other female villains on our list.

2.
Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty

Ah,
a villain who was such a baddie, they had to recruit Angelina Jolie
to play her. She can turn into a fire breathing dragon, and that
sounds pretty villainous o us. Plus, we’ve never seen a villain
look so good during her evil-doing. Cheekbones, anyone?

3.
Ursula, The Little Mermaid

Ursula
the sea witch was Disney’s first plus size villain, and she is the
sea witch we all aspire to be. She did steal’s Ariel’s voice to
manipulate and seduce the prince, then supersized herself before
being impaled by Eric’s ship.

4.
Yzma, The Emperor’s New Groove

Yzma
was a hilarious villain, and we always enjoy our evildoers with
little bit of humor. She is a master of potions and after being fired
from the position of royal adviser, she uses her evil potions to try
to get rid of him and make herself empress.

5.
Queen of Hearts, Alice in Wonderland

The
queen has a bright red face of nightmares that definitely gave you
the heebie-jeebies as a kid. Obsessed with playing croquet and
forcing a bunch of cards to be her slave, this Queen rules Wonderland
like it’s some version of hell. “Off
with your head,” as
they say!

6.
Mother Gothel, Tangled

The
evil villain in Tangled
who trapped Rapunzel in her tower stands out because of her careful
strategy and intelligence. This evil mother kidnapped Rapunzel as a
baby, using the power of her hair to hold onto her youth forever.

7.
Lady Tremaine, Cinderella

Cinderella’s
stepmother was one evil stepmother who treats Cinderella like garbage
while she puts her heinous daughters first, attempting to get them
married off to the prince. She goes to lengths like locking
Cinderella in her room and has a truly frightening face for a cartoon
character.

8.
Cruella De Vil, 101 Dalmatians

Cruella
gives us all a chill down our spines, and what’s more evil than
kidnapping a hundred cute dogs to try to make them into coats? That’s
some Silence
of the Lambs
nightmare fodder that we still can’t shake, decades after
childhood. She’s scary but likable, like anyway terrifying and
confident woman.

9.
Queen Narissa, Enchanted

Often
hailed as one of the most beautiful Disney villains, this antagonist
from the 2007 film Enchanted also happens to be Prince Edward’s
stepmother. She’s basically a hybrid of Snow White’s Evil Queen
and Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent, acting as a sort of parody of
other Disney villains.

10.
Madame Mim, Sword in the Stone

This evil villainess is one that’s sometimes underestimated, but shouldn’t be. She’s not often lauded for her looks or skills, but still makes a big impressive for such a tiny character. Ben though she’s small, her powers apparently rival those of Merlin. She can also casually transform into a dragon like Maleficent, but no one talks about it.
