From Shan Yu in Mulan to Wolf in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, these are the scariest villains from animated movies.
Animated film has since its inception been home to some of cinema's most iconic villains. The virtually boundless nature of animation leaves room for antagonists who are always a mighty obstacle in the hero's way—And sometimes, an absolutely terrifying one, too.
9 Claude Frollo — 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' Despite how acclaimed it is, The Hunchback of Notre Dame still feels like one of the most criminally underrated Disney classics. A somewhat watered-down, but still pretty intense adaptation of Victor Hugo's dark and tragic novel, it's about a bell-ringer who must assert his independence from a government minister in order to help a friend.
While Anastasia struggles to find her family, the sinister Rasputin seeks her death. The villain's design is creepy to say the least, and the scenes that show him at his most relentlessly violent should be enough to send chills down the spine of anyone who grew up getting nightmares from this antagonist.
A beautiful film that celebrates love for nature, FernGully nevertheless isn't afraid to scare its audience with a terrifying villain. With stunning animation and one of Tim Curry's best voice performances, Hexxus becomes a formidable entity that, for the majority of the film's runtime, feels impossible to defeat.
4 Me-Mania — 'Perfect Blue' Satoshi Kon was not only one of the greatest Japanese filmmakers of all time, but also a master of mind-bending cinema. Perfect Blue is his masterpiece, a mystery thriller about a pop singer who becomes an actress, but slowly starts losing her mind when she notices an obsessed fan stalking her.The whole thing is a terrifying rumination on parasocial relationships, identity, and fandom culture.
2 All the Monsters — 'Mad God' Puppetry master Phil Tippett took decades to make Mad God, a grotesque and surreal descent into a violent hellscape. It's about the Assassin, a humanoid who travels through a nightmarish underworld of tortured souls forged from the primordial horrors of the unconscious mind.
