    Mother Gothel doesn't get any sympathy. Yes the flower was stolen but she was using it to live longer than she should. The fact the source was used for something else and her response was to kidnap a child was very messed up.

    Yzma and Kronk were always the best part of that movie. You could tell that Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton had an absolute blast recording their dialogue!

    NO NO NO, I was afraid that you were going to put Mother Gothel on this list. She didn't have a terrible, sad or tragic back story. She simply didn't like that a flower that helped her stay young for hundredths of years had been taken. So to get the flower power back she kidnapped Rapunzel from her parents only for her hair keeping her locked up. There is nothing tragic about Mother Gothels back story because there isn't one. I normally agree with your choices Mojo. However this is one that myself along with most other Disney fans will I'm pretty sure definitely not agree with.

    As kids we used to praise the heroes. As adults we finally understood the villains.

    I don't think Gothel's story was tragic at all. She wanted more life than anyone else, thought her life outweighed all others', and denied life to others by hoarding the flower. That's all. That's not tragic, it's selfish, plain and simple.

    Gothel can never be redeemed, she was completely selfish rather than sharing what she found and never truly cared for Rapunzel.

    Maleficent will ALWAYS be number one for me. I remember watching that scene in theaters THRICE and no matter how many times I see it, her agonized wail NEVER FAILS to make my heart simultaneously break and boil with rage

    Honestly I have no sympathy for Gothal…only because in the series it explains and shows just how selfish and self absorbed she is. She abandoned someone who was supposed to be close to her, and kidnapped a child, only to keep eternal beauty and stay young.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Gothel should NOT be on this list! Her backstory wasn’t really that sad, it was monstrous. Also, Namaari having “good intentions?” Frankly, it’s all about how you flip the coin, but at least she redeemed herself in the end when all hope was rapidly fading away.

    In the original "Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen, the Sea Witch wasn’t a villain at all. She was neutral and let the mermaid know what the consequences of her actions would be. She wasn’t out to get revenge on anyone.

    Davy Jones has always been one of the most tragic characters in general to me. Especially considering that he spends entire third movie being controlled by Cutler Beckett who even forces him to kill his Kraken, before eventually being killed. The fact that he had to spend his final days in even more misery just kills me. Calypso may say she cares about him, but he’ll always and forever have my heart.

    For me Davy Jones, Xianniang and Maleficent are the villains I have empathy for. 2 of them were played and heartbroken and the other is labeled a witch when she’s truly a warrior.

    Hades really isn't evil actually, he’s just the god of the dead, left out and misunderstood, but hey, when all of Olympus is at war he can just chill in the under world. 😂

    I adored Maleficent since childhood. Seeing Disney explore her backstory so richly and fairly, I loved it. My favorite movie.

    I've always found it interesting how some of the origin stories for these villains really makes you think "Well it's no wonder they became villains" Because their reasons for doing so are somewhat understandable, Although when it comes to villains like Captain Hook the hero (IE Peter Pan) is the real villain of the story, I think about it sometimes how looking from the villains point of view makes you realize that the protagonists are the villains of someone else's story.

    Kuzco caught Yzma a few times trying to do his job, it wasn't just the first time. He literally says "You we doing it again." so he had clearly given her a second chance.
