In the world of heroes and their brave acts, there's always a dark side that makes everything more interesting. Disney knows this really well because their bad guys are some of the best out there.

They're mean, they're sneaky, but somehow, we can't help but like them a bit. They make the perfect bad guys for our favorite heroes.

Take Scar from "The Lion King" for example. He's super smart and always has something clever to say. But he's also the kind of guy who would get rid of his own brother just to be in charge. That's pretty scary, right?

Then there's Cruella De Vil from "101 Dalmatians." She wants a coat made out of puppies. Yes, puppies!

That's just wrong on so many levels. And we've only talked about two of them; there are so many more bad guys in Disney movies that give us the creeps.

So, we've put together a list of these Disney villains because they're just too interesting to ignore. As you go through the list, you can pick your "favorites" and see who else thinks they're the best at being bad.

Don't forget to share this list with your friends, too, especially if you want to give them a little scare.
