I've Got Friends On The Other Side

The villain, Dr. Facilier, made his appearance in Disney's The Princess and the Frog.  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "Dig a Little Deeper."

Pros:
- Charismatic: He certainly knows how to put on a show!  He does a great job convincing Prince Naveen and more impressively, the cautious, Lawrence that trusting him is a good idea.  He almost manages to get Tiana to believe him as well.
- Smart: He knows how to get his way and will stop at nothing to do so.  He knows just the right things to say to get people to go along with him and his ways.

Cons:
- Unprepared: He isn't prepared for what might happen if his plans don't go the way he intended.  What was the plan if Naveen got away?  What would they do if they got found out?  These are things he must prepare for, but he didn't.
- Twists the truth: He tells people what they want to hear regardless of if that is actually what they will get.  When he said he sees green in Naveen's future, he didn't mean money, he meant a frog.  He twists the truth to benefit himself.
- Doesn't follow the rules:  When his plan is not accomplished and he has to ask his "friends from the other side" for help, and still doesn't manage to succeed.  He made a deal with them and didn't follow it and now he has to face the consequences.

Wow, Is My Hair Out?

The villain, Hades, made his appearance in Disney's Hercules.  Hades is one of my personal favorite villains and character.  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "Not a Damsel in Distress."

Pros:
- Hilarious: Hades has plenty of laughter to go around.  He's living for all eternity as a god and hasn't run out of jokes yet.
- Patient: He waits eighteen years for his plan to rule the world to play out.  If that isn't patience, I don't know what is.
- Fair: Regardless of Hades evil doings, he is fairly fair.  He makes deals with these people and they do accept that, so he isn't totally to blame for their sorrow and pitty.  Also, if you had the title of god of the dead bestowed upon you by your own brother, you'd be pretty resentful too.

Cons:
- Doesn't read the fine print... in his own deal: He promised Hercules Meg wouldn't be hurt if he took away his power, but he didn't think about what would happen if she did.  She sacrificed herself sot that his deal would be broken.  Think about it Hades, she loves him, of course she would ruin your plans.
- Unorganized: You would think if you spent eighteen years to plan a world domination against your own family you would be a little more prepared.  To be fair, he didn't see Hercules getting in the way at first, but he didn't think the gods would fight back.  It was really just pure chaos.
- Resentful:  Yes, god of the dead was bestowed upon him, but does he think of Zeus and his decision process.  Someone had to be god of the dead.  Who would he have chosen?  It's no reason to destroy your entire family and nephew.

Bonus picture because I love these two and this movie so much!

Shan Yu

The villain, Shan Yu, made his appearance in Disney's Mulan.  I tried to think of a more entertaining title for this guy, but he maybe speaks three time throughout the whole film.  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "The Flower That Blooms in Adversity."

Pros:
- Powerful: He creates a powerful army and is a great leader in regards to that.  He does an okay job of trying to take over China.  If it weren't for Mulan, he may have been successful.
- Strong and Resilient: A mountain falls on him, and he somehow manages to survive as well as continue to fight.  A MOUNTAIN!

Cons:
- Underestimates his opponent: He underestimated Mulan and her strength in being a woman.  This was the common view point back then; women did not fight.  Mulan showed him.
- Merciless: He didn't care who was in his way, he would kill, hurt, and destroy anyone or anything he had to.  He even did it for the heck of it.
- Vengeful:  Like many villains, revenge fuels their actions.  Although this doesn't explain Shan Yu's reasoning behind taking over China, it does explain his anger towards "Ping."

I've Never Been a Popular Man

The villain, John Ratcliffe, made his appearance in Disney's Pocahontas.  He may not be the most popular Disney villain, but he is worth mentioning.  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "Listen With Your Heart."

 Pros:
- Obedient: He technically did what he was supposed to and followed King James' orders.
- Successful: He's obviously a really successful man to run an expedition to the new world.

Cons:
- Selfish: He sings a song titled "Mine, mine, mine" where he sings about wanting all the gold for himself.  Nobody seems to question him. 
- Deceptive: He tries to make the crew feel as if they are important in this expedition, but he just needs them for hard labor to get his gold.
- Racist:  The song "savages" says it all.  Way to not change your opinions sir.
