Best Disney Villain
Sometimes it's good to be bad. And in the case of Disney's incredible rogues gallery of animated villains, being bad is very, very good. In its nearly 100 years of filmmaking, the Walt Disney Company has introduced some of the most iconic big-screen baddies of all time. In some cases, the villains even outshine their heroic counterparts. With that in mind, the Great Pop Culture Debate sought out to answer the question: who is the Best Disney Villain of all time? Villains discussed include Scar, Maleficent, Evil Queen, Mother Gothel, Ursula, Yzma, Captain Hook, Lots-O-Huggin’ Bear, Hades, Cruella de Vil, Lady Tremaine, Gaston, Dr. Facilier, Jafar, Sid, and Queen of Hearts!
Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amy Pilott, Bob Erlenback, and Michael Schwarz discuss the best baddies from Disney's animated rogue's gallery. Which character is best at being the worst?
