20 Questions About Disney Villains That Still Haunt Me As An Adult

    Been askin' these questions for years now.

    1. What did Ursula — fabulous and fierce queen that she is — do to get banished from Atlantica?!

    2. Why does Cruella de Vil look so damn old?! She is supposed to be the same age as Anita. With a net worth of $1 billion, couldn't she afford a proactive moisturizer?

    3. Why would Edgar Balthazar think he, as the butler, would logically or legally be next in line for Madame Adelaide's inheritance?

    4. With all his money and treasure, did Prince John never consider a tailor for his oversized clothes?

    5. Did Captain Hook have another name before losing his hand (and if so, what was it?), or was that just fateful irony?

    6. Why did Scar and his crew become outsiders? Was he always evil? I need a backstory ASAP.

    7. The head wolf said Shere Khan was back in their part of the jungle after being gone for 10 years, but where was he, y'all?

    8. If Yzma, a chemist, wanted eternal youth, why didn't she just make a compound to restore her youth?

    9. What New York landlord let Madame Medusa keep two crocodiles in her pawn shop?!

    10. Why didn't Jafar just wish for an entirely new kingdom instead of going through the trouble of taking over Agrabah?

    11. Maleficent really cursed Princess Aurora because she wasn't invited to her christening?!?! Was it REALLY that deep?!

    12. If Lady Tremaine felt so unsure about her daughters' ability to get the Prince's attention, why didn't she just dress them cuter?!

    13. How did Hades die in his own river? Did he not river-proof himself from harm?

    14. Couldn't the Queen of Hearts just find another game to play that she was actually good at and didn't lose her cool to?

    15. I don't understand — if Esmerelda didn't want Claude Frollo, why did he have to threaten to burn down Paris? Why didn't he just get a new boo?

    16. Was evil really the only way Dr. Facilier could take over New Orleans? He couldn't just settle with some jazz, a po' boy, and a brownstone?

    17. Was Shan-Yu a demi-god or strictly mortal? Because the way he came out of that avalanche unscathed, I was shook.

    18. If the Magic Mirror was all-knowing, why didn't it warn the Evil Queen that she'd die trying to kill Snow White? 💅

    19. Why does the entire village put up with Gaston being such a misogynistic a-hole? Real. Talk.

    20. Lastly, why didn't the owners ever step in when these cats were actin' up in Lady and the Tramp? Didn't they have mice to catch or posts to scratch?
