Some of them, even over the years, remain in the minds of thousands of fans around the world, being quoted extremely frequently to this day. Thinking about it, Recreio separated 5 Disney villains that are practically impossible to forget. Check out!
1. Maleficent — Sleeping Beauty
Maleficent literally carries evil in her name. The sorceress of “Sleeping Beauty” is responsible for casting a terrible spell against Princess Aurora while she was still a baby, cursing her fate so that she would enter an eternal sleep after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel, just because she didn’t have been invited to the princess’ christening.
2. Cruella De Vil — 101 Dalmatians
To get her eccentric coats, Cruella De Vil has no qualms about going after dogs for their fur. Thanks to her enormous cruelty, in 2003, she appeared on the American Film Institute’s list of the 50 greatest movie villains in the United States, occupying the 39th position. Below her, two other Disney villains were also present: the Evil Queen, from Snow White, and the Huntsman, from Bambi.
3. Grimhilde, the Evil Queen — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The first villain in Disney history is Grimhilde, the Evil Queen, from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”.

To do this, she spares no effort to end her stepdaughter, even ordering a hunter to rip out the heiress’s heart.
4. Gastón — Beauty and the Beast
According to Disney’s official website, Gastón, from “Beauty and the Beast”, was the first male villain to star in a studio animation. In the film released in 1991, the character is completely obsessed with Bela, and does everything to make her agree to marry him – even against her will.
5. Captain Hook — Peter Pan
