Maliphicent, the dark fairy. This badass bitch taught me that sometimes, it's better just to sleep in. (Sleeping Beauty 1959)
Professor Screweyes, and his Eccentric Circus. This guy combines two of my most irrational fears. Ommatophobia and Ornithophobia. (We're Back! A Dinosaur Story 1993)
The Grand Duke of Owls aka Uncle Dukie. This bastard got me so scared of the dark I would hoard batteries and leave a flashlight on under my pillow. Seriously. (Rock-a-doodle 1991)
Padraic Ratigan, the burden of Baker Street. Talk about Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. A smooth talking mob boss, with the savagery one would expect from a hulking sewer rat. Plus they said his name so creepily. (The Great Mouse Detective 1986)
The Nightmare King. His name should be enough, but this shapeshifting demon can seriously fuck right off with his bullshit. Normally seen as a black cloud of claws and teeth, he's the reason I don't let my feet dangle off the bed. (Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland 1989)
Nightmare King cont.
Chernabog aka literally Satan. Probably the biggest, baddest, and most evil thing ever animated for a kids movie. I remember sitting through the movie bored outta my gourd, just waiting for this guy so I could "conduct" with him. He was my Elsa. (Fantasia 1940)
Claude Frollo, The Judge. Ruthless, self-righteous and religiously pious. He has an intense hatred of the gypsy population and seeks to annihilate their entire race. He's basically Hitler. (Hunchback of Notre Dame 1996)
The Grand Owl. Ok, so not an actual villian, but definitley nightmare fuel nonetheless. In fact, this whole movie is nightmare fuel, and I just hate birds. (The Secret of NIHM 1982)
Hellhound. This is one of those scenes that I didn't really understand as a child, but it creeped me the fuck out anyways. He appears twice in the movie and isn't even the main antagonist, but this ending scene is forever scarred into my childhood. (All Dogs Go To Heaven 1989)
The Great Animal. Half Beast, half bat, all terrifying, this creature is the commutation of a Warlock who curses the princess in hopes of a forced marriage. There's a bestiality joke in here somewhere, but I'm too frightened. (The Swan Princess 1994)
The Horned King. Finn the Human ain't fucking with this Lich. He has a massive army of ghouls, monsters, a dragon, and his "cauldron born" which are basically wraith kings. He just wants death, pure and simple. (The Black Cauldron 1985)
This was a short glimpse at some of my favorite villains from childhood. I hope you enjoyed!

This is something I can get behind now. Real true villains of old. These bastards were legit scary!
KaSayre
Hell yea, man. They don't make em.like they used to.
DiastaticPower
Lee of the stone.
LariCheltsy
Scrolled sceptically for NIHM, found the great owl, upvoted, scrolled to top and enjoyed a complete post. Well done, OP!
EBlade19889
I know I watched Little Nemo when I was VERY small, but until recently was convinced it was just something I'd dreamed up.
MirielBjartskular
I have the same feeling with the Secret of NIMH. Very vague flashes of the movie
wellthisjustgotinteresting
HOLD UP, RATIGAN HAS A FIRST NAME?
KaSayre
I was just as stunned.
IronicUsername
That "All Dogs Go to Heaven" Hell scene was fucking terrifying as a child.
MirielBjartskular
I always fast forwarded that part cause it scared me so much
ScatterJ0Y
Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland!!!!!!! I had completely forgotten about that movie!
Amelnika
Gosh, I loved The Secret of Nimh, great movie!
DiracsDelta
Omg... I had forgotten about some of these movie titles! I've seen every one! I need to marathon some of this!
DiracsDelta
Little memo and rockadoodle were "that blimp movie" and the "weird singing rooster movie".
Gantir
Nice list, but I guess you forgot a special friend of mine
KaSayre
I did, but to be honest, the Harpie was much scarier.
MirielBjartskular
Last Unicorn?
onethousandblankets
THE FREAKING NIGHTMARE KING. I blocked him from my memory and you broUGHT HIM BACK
KaSayre
Always happy to help.
KaraE33
I thought little nemo was a terrifying dream- I can't believe someone else remembers it
sahdad
TheCosmicCracker
The horned King is even more legitimately terrifying in the Prydian Chronicles books
KaSayre
I just ordered them. Cant wait to dive in.
TheCosmicCracker
Aw man they are excellent
Snooj
What about the clown from Brave Little Toaster? Run!
PamelaSplooshPoovey
That fucking AC unit tho...
curlyfry11
The AC and the vacuum running over his cord scared me and my sisters. We were terrified to use the vacuum after that.
Snooj
What about the blender evisceration?
curlyfry11
I don't remember him; probably because our mom never had a blender we became scared of. We vacuumed in pairs so someone always held the cord
somethingsomethingusernamey
I didn't know some of these so upvote and gunna have to catch up
KaSayre
Appreciate the points good sir. I've spent the last 2 hours collecting these. My kids are going to be up soon and I haven't went to bed yet.
somethingsomethingusernamey
Why do you hate yourself? You seem like a good person.
KloDar
Why aren't there any more Don Bluth themed kids movies anymore? I love Disney and all but man. Nothing beats the Grim Dark universes he made
goodisunpopular
After Rock-A-Doodle, he lost his mojo & tried to copy the success of the Disney Renaissance but failed so bad people lost all faith in him.
swedeonamoose
and that is kinda putting it mildly. the movies sucked donkeydick.
itsybitsyspider
He made a Troll in Central Park...and it was downhill from there.
NatBudge
I've had that scene where Memo releases the nightmare king stuck with me since childhood but I could never remember what it came from THANKS
KaSayre
Happy to bring back the terror, lol.
Vydrach
How do you not have https://poorvillains.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/original.jpg (found a better image so replaced comment)
TheosophicBlues
Gmork! Harbinger of the Nothing!
ImFrank
Probably because he's not animated. But still scary AF.
KaSayre
I can't even place who this is, lol. Give me a hint.
DeltaNovum
Atreyu, horse, mud, white dragon, big ass turtle, rock baby, judgemental sphinxes.
KaSayre
I appreciate you.
RubelliteFae
I'll give you Nothing!

periwinklepanda
So many nightmares from these villains. I'm impressed you included the Swan Princess! Most people I know have never heard/seen it.
KaSayre
It was one of my favorites. That puffin was hilarious

How about the Red Bull from the last unicorn?
SeeHowItGoes
@OP you and I lived very similar childhoods movie-wise. Thanks for the reminder of some cool films :)
KaSayre
Always happy to bring back some repressed terror
CanadianCobraChicken
The Black Cauldron seriously messed with me as a kid.
RabidDingo
I loved that movie as a kid. That little apple thief...

If only Disney had waited 30 years there would be a good financial case to make a five movie sequence using the books.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
I mean...http://variety.com/2016/film/news/chronicles-of-prydain-movie-disney-1201733058/
yotsuya
Hey, wow. Hope they do it justice.
Fairdinkums
Fantasia for the win but what about a bit of Hexxus?
devilsbitch
that song he sang, toxic love, was amazing
monstermeuse
That guy scared the hell outta me. I tried watching Ferngully at 26, thinking "It can't be as scary now as when I was 6." I was wrong.
KovnikJoe
That motherfucker was terror incarnate for me as a child
IexplainThingsUntilTheyArentFunnyAnymore
*sees username* FOR THE MOTHERLAND!
Hexus
You rang?
CareBearWarfare
This motherfucker should top every single list like this of the best childhood villians
StarryNightsInCanada
Petrified me as a child. Probably would today
baseballboy3711
Immediately thought of Hexxus after these. Scary mofo
alayneize
Tim Curry's voice talent on that one ...
ItCanOnlyBeANipple
Mother's... Milk.... *schluuuuuurp*
PxC4
He was too smooth to hate imo, even as a kid.
RagefaceRS
Does nobody else get chills from the Giant Mouse of Minsk from "An American Tale?" That thing still gives me nightmares.
JeffStrangeness
Wewease the wecuwect weapon!
Fairdinkums
thornmallow
That song was so seductive..
baseballboy3711
Tim Curry, you sexy beast!

Hit me one time! Hit me twice! OOH AHH Ohh... That's rather nice...

abeardedblacksmith
My parents wouldn't let me read Harry Potter when I was in middle school, but they let me watch all these movies before I started 1st grade
NotAnIroningBoard
Are you Benjamin button
abeardedblacksmith
"My parents let me watch all these movies be fore I started 1st grade, but wouldn't let me read Harry Potter in middle school"
abeardedblacksmith
yeah, pretty much. I guess I could have worded that comment a little better.
NotAnIroningBoard
But how old are you if the movies were out before you hit 1st grade... I remember the books coming out ffs
abeardedblacksmith
No no no... the movies from the post. Not the Harry Potter movies.
NotAnIroningBoard
Ah okay, I'm back on track now. I thought you were like 5

KaSayre
Oh, how could I have forgotten the Red Bull! Even though the witch and Harpie were much scarier imo.
jhawker27
My uncle wrote All Dogs Go To Heaven and Rock-a-Doodle! :D
KaSayre
I owe your Uncle a thank you for the night terrors.
besserly
Loved Rock-a-Doodle as a kid! Weird as all hell now. Great job
quillfreminenti
Not sure if true but just in case: thank him for making the only movie I've ever worn out a vhs from watching for me. Rock-a-doodle...rocks.
jhawker27
Yeah, a lot of people have accused me of lying to to win fake internet points by association, but I just don't want to spend the time it 1/?
jhawker27
would take to verify my identity, link to my Facebook, show the family tree associations, etc. etc. I should probably just stop 2/?
jhawker27
mentioning it, my pride in his positive influence on people's childhoods doesn't really accomplish anything. -_- 3/3
quillfreminenti
Well at least I gave you the benefit of a doubt, lol. It's no skin off my back if you know that I love a 25 year old movie.
