Disney Villains


Disney Villains

Disney Villains are all around us and the reason we like them so much is because no matter what our morals, no matter our codes of conduct and no matter how much we obey the laws, there is a villain inside each one of us.

Just like our cartoon counterparts, it just takes a bit of social breakdown before we become like a Disney Villain.

We Love Disney villains

Well before breakdown of all our assets we start our own self preserving strategy with our little lies and the beginning of all the things that we hate in the bad guys.

Disney knew long before maybe we even realized, that the audience just loves to hate the bad villain and so the Disney Villain was born.

Inside of all of us is the villain and we just can’t help admire in a small way the naughty goings on when the villain appears on the screen and so I am going to devote some articles to the Disney Villain.

Without a villain, there can be no hero and they are an essential part of the story, sometimes bigger than the hero as he forces his anger, misery and insensitivity onto the lives of others. As he acts he teases and torments the viewers with emotion, pouring each moment into our souls and into our spirit, some of us rising to applaud his actions and others reeling in terror.

And then the hero acts!

Where do these Disney Villains live? Inside of us, our past, our childhood memories, our daily struggles and fears as children and the dark side of each of us, living in a cartoon strip to remind us who we are and where we have come from. all of us can relate in some way to the Disney Villain.

We all want something we cannot have, but the villain is prepared to go places we are not and so secretly, we sometimes hope that he will win so that we can experience and enjoy his moment as if it were our own.

Maybe Disney villains came from his life. He endured many sufferings as a young man and as success chased him so did the darkness of life. Bouncing back and forth from success to misery, maybe his villains were his way of telling his own story and releasing the pain.

But strangely, the villains also had a humor as if they were taunting us, laughing at our lives, yet still entertaining us.

There are many different types of villain created by Disney, some huge and grotesque and other small and pathetic, some even beautiful and daring. Over the next few weeks I will be exploring some of these wonderful, dark and mysterious creatures we love as the Disney Villains.

Thank you to Phil South for his photo of the Disney Villain.
