There are 2 that terrified me as a kid 1. Trunchbull 2. Karbonkel (Dutchies know) As an adult it's just the one: Frollo. Because he is not just an imaginary villain, he represents so many people irl, and that's the scary part

Other dark characters from films which I've not watched in a very long time: The Horned King (The Black Cauldron), Professor Ratigan (Basil The Great Mouse Detective), Stromboli (Pinocchio), Doris (Meet the Robinsons), Dag the coyote (Barnyard), Chernabog (Fantasia), Smokey (Stuart Little), Rattlesnake Jake (Rango), Tighten (Megamind), Queen Gnorga (A Troll in Central Park), Professor Screweyes (We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story), Professor Poopypants (Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie), Madame Medusa (The Rescuers), The Wicked Witch of the West (The Wizard of Oz) and The Grand High Witch (The Witches).

Frollo is even more terrifying as an adult because you're aware that there are people out there like him.

I feel like Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2 should have at least been an honorable mention. The guy not only killed Po’s mother, but also all of the pandas that he could. Not often you start a kid’s movie telling about how someone committed genocide on the main character’s people.

Return To Oz was a scary movie. The Wheelers' laughter was frightening for a kid, but the witch took heads of maidens to change her looks, now that was disturbing!

A little surprised Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2 didn't make an appearance. Maybe I'm missing the definition of "surprisingly dark"?

When it comes to Frollo, I don't know what's more bizarre: the fact that this character is in a Disney movie or the fact that he was considerably more sympathetic in the original book.

Mother Gothel from Tangled is a really good example of a seriously messed up villain. I didn't realise she was that incredibly evil until only a few years ago 😬

Cannot believe the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang isn’t on here! Terrifying!!

I had five characters that were frightening to me during the 80's and 90's. Judge Doom, Mrs Trunchbull, The Grand high Witch, Cruella De Vil and the Vigo guy in Ghostbusters 2.

Ursula from The Little Mermaid kind of frightened me when I was little, especially in her giant form. Mor’du from Brave is also definite nightmare fuel because he’s a big, scary, demonic, and primal bear with scars and weapons that are left on his impenetrable hide.

5:53 the sad thing about this is that this is what happened to Bobby Driscoll, the voice of Peter Pan. After the movie, Hollywood dumped him bc he was too old and wasn't "cute" anymore

The other mother was really terrifying 😭

Cruella made me want to protect animals. Ms Trunchbull made me terrified of going to school because I was afraid that à principal would be similar to her

Mrs. Tweedy from chicken run (2000) and Chicken run dawn of the nuggets (2023)

The Coachman from the original Pinocchio was terrifying.

Other Mother definitely deserved the top spot. The Moon King from Kubo and the Two Strings is scary too, because he murdered Kubo's parents and stole one of his eyes.

I knew that The Other Mother from Coraline was going to be number one She’s creepy as all hell and just became a freaky spider creature by the end of the movie

@shatteredspirit6065

Great pick, but I must disagree with you old friend. If anyone deserves the number 1 spot, it's the rat Jenner from The Secret of NIMH. He waited for Mrs. Frisby's house to be in right position to not only sabotage so the house can sink in the mud, but to kill Nicodemus when the equipment starts flying around. And try to get the rats to stay in the rose bush despite Mrs. Frisby warning everyone that NIMH is coming and tries to kill her for that.

Another top ten list that should've been a top twenty. And if I were you guys, I'd include Scroop from the underrated Disney masterpiece that is Treasure Planet. He's a cruel, cold-hearted, selfish, sadistic, psychotic, and merciless spider-like alien pirate with a never-ending lust for blood. He tries to kill Jim Hawkins twice and successfully-murders Mr. Arrow by cutting off his lifeline, making him fall into the black hole while screaming in doom. He also tries to expose John Silver right in front of the whole crew for being such a big ol' softie towards Jim in hopes that the gang will turn on him and even kill him. He's easily the scariest character in the entire movie, while also being it's true villain.

The greatest thing about this entire list is that Scar from The Lion King WASN'T on this list!

What about Hans from Frozen?! While, he becomes possible love interest. He’s overall a red herring and one of the subverted tropes of the film.

If I can suggest the ones I've seen and felt surprised about the villains' dark side, -Lady Tremaine from "Disney's Cinderella" 1950 was mainly not too much of a threat until she locked Cinderella in her room with those glowing eyes. -Rameses from "DreamWorks The Prince of Egypt" 1999 I thought he was just a regular Egyptian until I noticed his father's side of the story; he killed the baby boys and taught his son to never be a 'weak link.' And I thought that was disturbing from good brotherhood to enemies. & -The Cheshire Cat from "Disney's Alice in Wonderland" 1951 has a great Sterling Holloway voice and the best lines. Still, unpredictably, he gets the Queen of Hearts' bad temper against Alice and then snitches on Alice's insults to the Queen. I felt like Wonderland was nothing but helpless beings that didn't take Alice's reality too seriously.

I'm surprised the murder of Justin in Secret of NIM isn't on this list.
