16. The Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland)
Like most of the residents of Wonderland, The Queen of Hearts is incredibly creepy and seems to have come from a drug-induced fantasy (and by "seems to" I mean "definitely".) She is the leader of Wonderland who has an obsession with the color red. She makes her subjects (who look like giant playing cards) paint the white roses red (though why the roses are white and not red in the first place, I have no idea - probably because it's Wonderland which is a pretty fucked up place in general). If someone disobeys her, than it's "off with their head!" I think there actually was a scene of her ripping one of the playing cards in half, which I found incredibly disturbing. She also plays pollo using live flamingos, which is just weird (and kind of animal abuse). Anyway, as far as villains go, she doesn't get a ton of screen time and really only shows up at the end of the movie (though, if I remember correctly, she is talked about before then.) The main reason she doesn't rank higher is that while she was certainly creepy, I actually found some of the nuetral characters/good guys (Chesire Cat, Jabberwocky, Caterpiller, Mad Hatter, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, etc...) quite a bit creepier than her.
15. Governer Ratcliffe (Pocahontas)
I don't remember much about Pocahontas, but I do remember disliking Governer Ratcliffe and not in a "Love/Hate" kind of way. Mostly, he was just annoying and not as entertaining as many Disney villains. First of all, he's a pompous snob (who even has the little stuck-up pug Percy to go with the image) and I don't like snobs in general - especially ones with annoying British accents. He's also incredibly greedy and only cares about finding gold at the new colony (yes, I know that that was common at the time, but it still wasn't that interesting). Lastly, he's incredibly racist and doesn't see the Native Americans as human. Oh, and not that this matters, but he's also probably the fugliest Disney villain ever. I know if I looked like that, I wouldn't have much to be pompous about.
14. Shan-Yu (Mulan)
As much as I like Mulan, I have to admit that Shan-Yu is a somewhat bland villain. He's a weak link in a movie that has a great protagonist, great plot, great soundtrack and great love-interest. I think during the whole movie, he only has maybe three or four lines, none of which are very interesting. That said, he could have been fairly intimidating if they had given him more screen time. As the leader of the Hun Army, he sweeps through China, destroying everything and taking no prisoners. He's so badass he's not even above capturing the Emporer and trying to force the old man to worship him. He and his men were also able to somehow survive that terrible avalanche and as Mushu said "pop out of the snow. Like daisies!" Mostly, I think he was a wasted opportunity who could have been a much better character. We even get a very brief look at his "softer" side - or at least something like character development - when he finds the doll (pictured above) and says he wants to give it back to the little girl who it belongs to. Anyway, despite not being the most interesting, you have to admit, he does look pretty intimidating and badass - one of the scariest looking villains for sure.
