When it comes to Disney movies, the villains often have much more interesting stories to tell than the heroes do. I mean, why else would Maleficent get a sequel when the live action Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast didn't?
However, not every Disney villain is created equal. For every Maleficent, there's a Mr. Smee. As a lifelong Disney movie lover, I feel qualified to rank them from least to most powerful.
So, without further ado, here is a definitive ranking of 36 Disney villains on a scale of "A Toddler Could Beat You in a Fight" to "This Is a Job for the Avengers":
