Villains, we love to hate them, and Disney has many of the best villains known to man. Since we are only focusing on the Disney Princess Villains, the countdown will obviously not include the others. For the past 10 days, I've held a countdown for the Best Disney Princess Villain, and here are the results.

10. Governor Ratcliffe
This round was no contest at all. From the very beginning, the villain from Pocahontas had the majority of the votes, and all of the other villains got one or two votes each. People said that he is pathetic, lazy, and there was no purpose for him to be in the story. They said that his movies are stupid, and he is not enjoyable to watch. All he wants are for the settlers to dig up gold for him, so he could take it for himself to be rich and have a lot of power.

Comments

- By far
1. He is pathetic. His motives are pathetic, his plans are pathetic, his ending is pathetic
2. He is boring. He is neither particularly threatening, no at least funny!
3. He is useless! Honestly, you could do the whole movie without a villain ... I actually think this would work much better, if the whole war started based off of prejudices and misunderstandings. Having an evil schemer in the background ruins the message of the movie (Swanpride)
- When I think Villain, I think someone who is pure evil ... Not some Diva looking for gold (princecatcher93)

9. Gaston
This round, quite a few people were close to being eliminated. At first, Mothet Gothel was in the lead, but then Gaston got more votes than the former, and Shan Yu was close to beating Gaston in votes, but he stayed in the lead, getting eliminated. People say that he is not really a villain, since all he cares about is fixing his bruised ego, but other people said that he is a realistic villain, which is what they liked. Gaston wants to marry Belle because she is the most beautiful girl in the village, and she is the only one worthy of him. Not being able to handle rejection, he does whatever he can to make her his wife.

Comments
- Jafar might have been an idiot, but his idiocy was established in the movie as a profoundly destructive trait which ended up contributing to future complications that resulted in:
A) The entire Agrabah being under his rule
B) Jasmine being forced into a romantic relationship with him, despite her objection and unwillingness
C) Aladdin nearly losing himself, not only emotionally, but physically
Gaston's villain status on the other hand entirely revolves on Belle, as pretty much everything in the movie. He hardly had any individual goals and ambitions and even his moment of bad-ass ness was limited to a pathetic butthurt over Belle's rejection (maryksand)
- WORST! VILLAIN! EVER (KataraLover)

8. Shan Yu
At first, Shan Yu was no where close to having to most votes. Originally, Mother Gothel had the most votes, but the. A few hours later, Lady Tremaine had the most votes, and it was like that for many hours. There was a point that her and Doctor Facilier were tied for the most votes. Later, Shan Yu got more and more votes, until he got eliminated. People said that he is not necessarily a bad villain, there is nothing special about him, and that he is very boring and forgettable. If a villain is forgettable, than you know he is not a good villain. Shan Yu is the leader of the Huns and attacks the Chinese to claim the land.

Comments
- He's boring. There's nothing special about him (MissAngelPaws)
- He'a boring and very cruel (Sirea)

7. Lady Tremaine
A lot of people were confused and upset that she made it through the last round, and Shan Yu did not. At the beginning of the round, her and Doctor Facilier were tied for the most votes, but then Lady Tremaine continuously gained more points until there was no competition, and obviously went home. People said that she is out a hitch, and not a villain, and really had no purpose to treat Cinderella cruelly. She is a high-class woman who is jealous of Cinderella's inner and outer beauty, so she for we Cinderella to be a maid for the Tremaines, and emotionally torments her. She will do anything to gain higher status.

Comments

- She didn't do anything evil except for being rude to Cinderella and locking her up. The other villains have clever reasons, like being the ruler of the world (MissAngelPaws)
- Villains are usually villains for personal gain. I don't really see the personal gain Tremaine gets from what she does to Cinderella (Flutey_Girl96)

6. Doctor Facilier
Some people were upset that Lady Tremaine left, while Jafar and Doctor Facilier remained. Him and Jafar were tied for a while in the beginning of the round, but then Jafar stopped getting votes, and Doctor Facilier continued to receive votes. People said that his motives were very unclear, and that he only got his scheme by luck, since he has no connection to any if the other characters. Others thought he was just ok. He is a voodoo man who cons his customers, and wants to get rid of Mr. LaBouff, to take his money.

Comments

- Just by a bit... (AllegroGiocoso)
- Not so interesting (MissAngelPaws)

5. Jafar
This round was interesting. At first, he was tied with Mother Gothel and Queen Grimhilde, then both him and Mother Gothel continued to gain more votes, being one vote off each other, and then Jafar got eliminated by 1-2 votes. People have said that he is very stupid, because he never recognized Aladdin's face after the many ones they interacted, and only memorized him because he sees the lamp in his turban. They also said that his plans are mostly originated from other characters, and he depends on magic to do his work. He was a royal vizier to he Sultan, and wanted to over throne the royal family to become king.

Comments


- Why is he still here? He is an awful villain! He made a lot of stupid mistakes and relied on a parrot... The women that are left were a lot more evil and vindictive (SweetPea2007)
- 1. He is dumb! Too stupid to recognize Aladdin , too stupid to make his own plans instead of relying on an annoying parrot, so stupid that he defeats himself in the end
2. His design is not creative, it's nearly an exact copy of Maleficent. The way he holds his staff, him turning into a snake, everything which makes him look at least threatening is copied from her.
And he looks stupid in white clothes (Swanpride)

4. Mother Gothel
This round was definitely the most interesting round by far. What was so interesting is that for the majority of the round, Queen Grimhilde had the most votes out of the four. Around halfway through the round, Mother Gothel gained a lot of votes, and never stopped getting votes, and she ended up with 57% of the votes. People said that she is less menacing and evil than the others remaining, and some thought she was just selfish and not evil. A lot of people said that she left no impact in them.

Comments

- She's just manipulative (fiina)
- Just think the others are more menacing. They have more impact on me (Mongoose09)

3. Queen Grimhilde
Queen Grimhilde was very close to being eliminated in the last round, so it was not surprising that she got the most votes. She had the most votes from the beginning if the round, even though all three villainess' got a fair share of votes. People said that her goal was pretty stupid and plain, as she would do the same thing with another person that is prettier. People said that she is a lot more boring than the other two villain eases, and that she was not as good as being a villain.

Comments
- Queen Grimhilde's motive is ridiculous because if she succeeded in killing Snow, other girls could have appeared that were more beautiful than her and the story would repeat again (CodyVenusTrent)
- I love her in the book Fairiest of All, but in the movie, she isn't so developed (Popcornfan)

2. Ursula
This round was very close, like Ursula got voted off by having a but less than 10% more votes than Maleficent. She always had the most votes, but then later, Maleficent got a lot of votes, and the round was debatable about who is going to be second place. People said that while both her and Maleficent are great villainesses, but Maleficent does it just for fun, which makes her more sinister and evil than Ursula, who does it because she wants revenge on Triton and to rule the kingdom. People also said that she is incapable of having a lot of power, as she let it get to her head, and was her ultimate demise.

I don't think Ursula deserved to be in the top 2. She clearly showed she was not capable of using the great power she had. Moreover, there are plenty of situations, which she could have acted smarter... (BelleAnastasia)

1. Maleficent
Even though Maleficent won the title of being the Best Disney Princess Villain, she go a lot of votes in the final few rounds. Regardless, she won over Ursula by 8% because she is the Mistress of All Evil, and you can tell she is evil for the fun of it, not because she wants revenge. People thought that she was the most evil since she cursed baby Aurora to die at age 16, so their grief will hurt a lot more, since the King, Queen, and the kingdom will bind with Aurora before she is taken out. They also thought that because she will gain nothing from killing Aurora makes her even more evil.

Comments

- I honesty love Maleficent a bit more. Yeah her motives are weak, but she is very elegant, but when she gets angry she can get really nasty. I mean SHE TURNED INTO A DRAGON. Now as for Ursula, she is also a great villain. I love how honest she is with Ariel about her motives and her villain song, I just like Maleficent a bit more (Snickerz911411)
