I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (2024)

Table of Contents
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": 36. The Heffalumps and Woozles from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: 35. Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas: 34. Sid from Toy Story: 33. King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph: 32. Lotso Bear from Toy Story 3: 31. Zurg from Toy Story 2: 30. Gabby Gabby from Toy Story 4: 29. Clayton from Tarzan: 28. Mother Gothel from Tangled: 27. Lady Tremaine from Cinderella: 26.

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":

36. The Heffalumps and Woozles from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (1)

Disney / Via Disney+

These creepy critters are definitely nightmare fuel, but they're at the bottom of the list because they're not real in Pooh's world or ours. They're simple figments of his imagination, and they can be defeated by waking up.

35. Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (3)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's quite literally a bag of bugs. He could be defeated by a strong gust of wind. Also, I truly can't stand him, so I'm putting him here.

34. Sid from Toy Story:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (4)

Pixar / Via Disney+

He's a literal child.

33. King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (5)

Disney / Via Disney+

A toddler could simply mash the game controls and delete him. Next.

32. Lotso Bear from Toy Story 3:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (6)

Pixar / Via Disney+

One tea party in a mud puddle, and it's over for him.

31. Zurg from Toy Story 2:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (7)

Pixar / Via Disney+

He's only ranked higher than Lotso because he's probably a choking hazard.

30. Gabby Gabby from Toy Story 4:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (8)

Pixar / Via Disney+

29. Clayton from Tarzan:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (9)

Disney / Via Disney+

His only true strength is hisdelusion of grandeur.

28. Mother Gothel from Tangled:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (10)

Disney / Via Disney+

Using the toddler to Avengers scale, she could easily be bested by a toddler. Imagine if 3-year-old Rapunzel had gotten hold of a pair of scissors and cut her own hair — it would've been over for Mother Gothel in a heartbeat.

27. Lady Tremaine from Cinderella:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (11)

Disney / Via Disney+

She's a bully, but, like...that's it. No magic, just spite.

26. Gantu from Lilo and Stitch:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (12)

Disney / Via Disney+

He ROUTINELY loses to a 5-year-old and her cuddly alien friend, and he takes orders from a talking gerbil to boot.

25. Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (13)

Disney / Via Disney+

If the people under her command simply stopped listening every time she yelled, "Off with their head!", she'd be powerless. Plus, her henchmen are all playing cards, so you could easily defeat them with a leaf blower.

24. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (14)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's supposedly strong because he eats five dozen eggs, but he lost to a glorified Ikea showroom. Not a good look.

23. Evil Queen from Snow White:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (15)

Disney / Via Disney+

All that magic, and the best she can come up with is a spicy apple? Joke's on her, because toddlers are picky eaters, so she'd need to go right back to the drawing board (or cauldron).

22. Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (16)

Disney / Via Disney+

She was taken down by puppies, so I don't think it would be much harder for a group of determined preschoolers.

21. Captain Hook from Peter Pan:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (17)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's spent his entire life being afraid of the children who live on Neverland when he literally owns a boat — just sail away.

20. Prince John from Robin Hood:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (18)

Disney / Via Disney+

Honestly, his pet snake does all the villainy for him.

19. Hans from Frozen:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (19)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's a manipulative jerk, but defeating him would've been simple if Anna had a group chat of friends to go all FBI on him.

18. Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (20)

Disney / Via Disney+

We stan a woman in STEM, but if she wanted to be ranked higher, she'd need to label her poisons better.

17. Shere Khan from The Jungle Book:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (21)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's a tiger. Unlike a lot of the people below him on this list, he doesn't need a crown or magic powers to be scary — he has sharp teeth and claws for that.

16. Scar from The Lion King:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (22)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's not the strongest villain physically, but his emotional manipulation skills are powerful enough to bump him above the other big cat.

15. Bellwether from Zootopia:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (23)

Disney / Via Disney+

She's basically the same as Scar, but she's ranked higher than him because no one suspected she was the villain.

14. Syndrome from The Incredibles:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (24)

Pixar / Via Dinsey+

He could be defeated by a very specific toddler — Jack Jack.

13. Mr. Toad from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (25)

Disney / Via Disney+

Though technically the protagonist, Mr. Toad is the villain of his own story. He may be just a toad, but his ego makes him dangerous. I mean, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland takes "Highway to Hell" literally.

12. Honest John and Gideon from Pinocchio:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (26)

Disney / Via Disney+

Again, manipulation is a powerful weapon, and these two have perfected the art.

11. Shan Yu from Mulan:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (27)

Disney / Via Disney+

The emperor was lucky to have Mulan on his side! Also, Shan Yu gets bonus points for his super cool bird sidekick.

10. Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (28)

Disney / Via Disney+

He probably taught Honest John, Gideon, Scar, and Hans everything they know.

9. Tamatoa from Moana:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (29)

Disney / Via Disney+

He's one of the few villains who's super powerful by brute force alone. If he didn't crush you, then you'd still never find your way out of his jewelry collection.This is about the time you'd need to start calling in your favors with S.H.I.E.L.D. I think Spider-Man could take him down.

8. The Curse Dragon from Onward:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (30)

Disney / Via Disney+

It has a cute face, but it's basically a dragon-shaped tornado of garbage and fire.

7. Jafar from Aladdin:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (31)

Disney / Via Disney+

He came pretty close to taking down an entire kingdom, but he didn't have the power of foresight. If he'd done a little more homework on what being a genie entails, then he'd be ranked much higher. Shuri would've noticed that. He gets bonus points for Iago, though.

6. DOR-15/Doris from Meet the Robinsons:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (32)

Disney / Via Disney+

She's basically Ultron in hat form...or an evil Remy from Ratatouille.

5. Ursula from The Little Mermaid:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (33)

Disney / Via Disney+

Might? Check. Magic powers? Check. Manipulation? Check. However, Hulk could probably beat her in a fight.

4. Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (34)

Disney / Via Disney+

Like Ursula, she's the total villain package, but she also breathes fire. Also, not only does she have a cool bird sidekick, but she has a shapeshifting bird sidekick. I'd love to see Scarlet Witch take her on.

3. Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (35)

Disney / Via Disney+

I wouldn't want to mess with this man and his friends on the other side. You might need help from the Mighty Thor to get yourself out of this battle.

2. Hades from Hercules:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (36)

Disney / Via Disney+

Hercules had to change fate to defeat him. That's definitely a job I'd leave to Dr. Strange.

1. And finally: Chernabog from Fantasia:

I Ranked 36 Disney Villains From “A Toddler Could Beat You In A Fight” To “This Is A Job For The Avengers” (37)

Disney / Via Disney+

Chernabog is basically the devil, so he might actually be worse than Thanos. You'd need all of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Eternals to defeat him.
