The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a Disney animated feature film released in 1996. The story loosely follows the original story of the same name by Victor Hugo.

Moving away from the Disney villains, this entry presents us with Aku, a demon born from The Black Mass of Evil, as an archnemesis to Samurai Jack and his family. Cartoon Samurai Jack presented us with many great aspects, but the best one is probably the rivalry between Aku and Jack, constantly fighting. Aku is a source of comic relief in the carto...
In my defense, this is not necessarily the ranked list, but if you want to take it that way, don’t be surprised to see Burns that low on the list. Don’t get me wrong; Burns is a menace and a villain making everyone around him miserable. He is also really old, and the show usually makes fun of his age by referencing past lost empires and monarchies ...

Avatar: The Last Airbender is certainly one of the modern era’sbest cartoons/animated series. It presented us with great lore, world-building, and still very much remembered characters.

- Cruella De Vil (One Hundred and One Dalmatians) Don't take Disney's recent attempt to rehab Cruella De Vil's image in the live-action movie "Cruella" too seriously.
- Scar (The Lion King) It's hard to overstate how truly horrible Scar (Jeremy Irons) turns out to be in "The Lion King." He initially comes across as nothing more than King Mufasa's (James Earl Jones) weak, bitter younger brother, yet he firmly believes he should be the ruler of Pride Rock instead of his sibling.
- Lord Farquaad (Shrek) It's hard to imagine someone who isn't enchanted by fairy tale creatures, but "Shrek" villain Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) despises the anarchy they bring to Duloc, his perfectly organized kingdom.
