Villains of Disney: scary cartoon characters

It's no secret that in children's cartoons, good should triumph over evil. However, negative characters often produce a greater impression on young spectators than positive heroes, they even have their fans. Especially indicative in this regard is the interest, which is caused by the bright villains of Disney, who are introduced by the creators of the famous cartoons to revive the plot. Which of the greedy, vermin, envious persons and similar negative personalities managed to become the most popular?

How it all began

About such a phenomenon, as the villains of Disney, talking in the first half of the last century. A kind of ancestor of the category was the Evil Queen, with which small viewers were introduced thanks to the animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", who saw the light back in 1937. Curiously, this was the first full-length creation of the famous studio.

The wicked queen is an insidious lady, who cares only about her own beauty and nothing else. Like many other villains of Disney, the ruler wants to remain the best, that is, the most beautiful. However, her stepdaughter Snow White grows up, which year after year becomes whiter and rosy than "mother". Wanting to get rid of the young rival, the cruel queen leaves the girl in the thicket of the forest, and then even tries to destroy her with the help of a poisoned apple. Of course, good wins.

Who is Captain Hook

In 1953 the animated cartoon "Peter Pan" was presented to the audience, which gave the young audience some more vivid images. Among them was Captain Hook, who was entrusted with the role of the main enemy, with whom the central character of fascinating hand-drawn history is forced to fight. Of course, the eternal baby Peter Pan, who does not want to grow up, always remains the winner in the competition with his antagonist.

Parents can not be afraid that the image of such a famous hero as the one-armed Captain Hook, turned out to be excessively ominous, will scare the kids when viewing the cartoon. The creators gave the pirate a comical way, attributed to him a penchant for hysteria and some cowardice. For example, this negative character is capable of falling into a faint when he sees a crocodile in front of him.

The sea witch Ursula

There is hardly a child who does not like the colorful animated work "The Little Mermaid", released in 1989. The category of "Villains of Disney" was replenished again due to this dynamic cartoon about the underwater world and its inhabitants. This time the main heroine has to fight with the wily witch Ursula and, of course, defeat his enemy.

It is interesting that the witch, who will poison the life of the beautiful Ariel, the creators did not immediately decide to give an octopus look. Initially, Ursulu was seen as a mermaid, but this appearance did not cause fear. Then, instead of the fish tail, the sea villain acquired the tentacles and began to look really scary. Even the most naive viewers do not believe Ursula, when at the beginning of the story she tries to convince Ariel of her desire to help her.

The most evil lion

Disney cartoons are often made the protagonists of animals, among which there are not only good, but also frankly bad characters. Remembering the latter, one can not ignore such a vivid scoundrel as Scar, with whom the animated picture "The Lion King" introduces children. This beast is characterized by such qualities as envy, cynicism and perfidy. His sharp claws are never hidden by the pads of his fingers. It is believed that the prototype of Scar was Claudius - the character of Hamlet, written by Shakespeare.

Scar kills his brother Mufasa, wanting to take his throne. Trying to remove the bad lion and another applicant for the throne - his little nephew, Simba, but the kid miraculously manages to escape from the evil uncle. Of course, Simba, acquiring true friends and growing up, returns to take revenge on the treacherous relative and return his legitimate title of king. Like other Disney cartoons, "The Lion King" ends with a victory of good.

What is known about Gaston

Should each painted negative hero at first sight appear so or may at first look good? Cartoon characters of Disney, who will perform in the role of scoundrels, often on the first acquaintance seem good to the audience. However, their further actions make it possible to see the opposite. A striking example of such a metamorphosis is Gaston from The Beauty and the Beast, a fairytale story that appeared in 1991.

Gaston is a guy with an attractive appearance, an alleged defender of the beautiful heroine who must save her from the monster. But gradually such qualities of the "knight" as greed, narcissism, a tendency to perfidy, cowardice are revealed. The enemy of Gaston, on the contrary, behaves decisively and nobly, which allows children to guess who is the true hero of history, despite the disgusting appearance.

About how to look like cartoon characters who will become the heroes of another fairy tale, employees of the studio of Disney can think for months. This fate did not pass Gaston, which was not originally intended to be turned into a negative character. However, in the process of working, the creators decided that the negative qualities of the "prince" would benefit the story.

Another Evil Queen

In 1951, was released a wonderful cartoon "Alice in Wonderland", conquered millions of small viewers living in different parts of the world. A colorful story presented the audience to another ruler-villain, with whom positive characters are forced to fight. Of course, this is the unforgettable Queen of Hearts, becoming the main problem of Alice's girl.

The Country of Miracles, into which a child accidentally falls, is ruled by a ruthless and bloodthirsty dictator. They are the Queen of Hearts, her tentacles suggesting horror to all the inhabitants of the fairy land, not counting Alice and her brave allies. The only way to fight your enemies, which is known to the villain is an order to cut off your head. Of course, evil will be punished as a result, the triumph of good is inevitable.

Appeal to magic

It's not a secret for anyone that wizards can be not only kind, but also evil. Remember this will help the cartoon "The Princess and the Frog", which was released in 2009. Dr. Facilier is an insidious, ruthless villain who has subordinated to himself the magic of Voodoo, his second name, known to the elect - Shadow Man. The goal that the evil professor sets before him is to conquer New Orleans. To conduct the battle for the city, this person plans to use the help of his own "hellish friends."

For the first time seeing such a character as Dr. Fasillet, small viewers for a moment will not doubt that he worships the forces of evil. This is facilitated by the villainous appearance of the anti-hero, which was created by Disney experts, emphasized high and thin, endowed with dark skin and purple eyes. Fasilie first of all appreciates money and power, is able to decide on the most desperate actions, seeing the prospect of profit.

Prototype - James Moriarty

The cartoon "The Great Mouse Detective", released by the famous studio in 1986, can be recommended not only to young children, but also to their parents if they like stories about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and other clever detectives. Professor Ratigan is the main villain of fairy-tale history. Being a rat, the character insists on being spoken of as a mouse.

Prototype of Retigan, according to the creators of the cartoon, is the legendary Professor Moriarty, brought to the surface by Sherlock Holmes. The villain's goal is to conquer the British mouse empire, for the sake of achieving it he is ready to use any means. Professor Ratigan entertains young viewers throughout the entire cartoon, at the end enchantingly dies, allowing the good to once again triumph.

The cruel counselor of the emperor

Disney's studio in its works often uses the image of a bloodthirsty queen, ready for any actions for the sake of gaining or retaining power. To the same category belongs another villain, presented to the audience in 2000 - Izma. "The Adventures of the Emperor" - a fantastic story, ridiculing human vices. The antagonist is the vindictive counselor of the ruler, who wants to settle with her master for ruthless dismissal, to seize his throne.

Of course, the numerous attempts to kill Kuzko, which Izmoj undertake, invariably fail. The evil counselor is defeated by the forces of good, her insidious plans will collapse without a chance to exercise. However, the punishment waiting for the wrong counselor is not too cruel. Izme should spend several years working in the camp of scouts.

Other vivid villains

Of course, not all the bright images of the followers of the evil forces, created by the employees of the Disney studio, are listed above. For example, you can remember the fascinating tale of the misadventures of a smart guy named Aladdin. Fans of the colorful cartoon must have remembered the treacherous Jafar, who had to fight the protagonist. The antagonist tries to subdue the genie, then tries to take his place. The power-hungry Vizier is enchanted by a gloomy sense of humor.

One can not help but mention the wonderful cartoon "Sleeping Beauty" and his main villain Maleficent. The witch cast a curse on the little princess, quarreling with her royal parents and deciding to take revenge on them for their alleged insult. Another excellent example of the Disney villain is Sherhan. Dangerous enemy Mowgli from the "Book of the Jungle" throughout the cartoon tries to eliminate the boy, since he hates people. Sherhan seems fearless, but in reality he is afraid of many things, for example, fire and guns.

These are the most charismatic negative characters created by the Disney studio for many years of work.
