It's
Halloween again!
In honor of that, I would like to share with you the first in a series of posts honoring the Disney Villains as seen in that great strategy game, Disney Villainous! The descriptions are reused from an earlier article I did on the Seven Deadly Sins (which in turn was derivative of an older article at LaughingPlace.com). I will also be taking some description based on the games themselves (or at least the Wiki site for it).
To start things off, here is the batch of villains from the initial starter pack, known as "The Worst Takes It All".
---
- FILM: "Peter Pan" (1953)
- VOICE ACTOR: Hans Conried
- ANIMATOR: Frank Thomas
- GAME ARTIST: Lucas Torquato
- Humiliated by that blasted Peter Pan time and again, Hook writes with unbridled fury at the mere mention of his name. And can anyone blame him? After all, it was Pan who had lopped off one of Hook's hands and fed it to that accursed crocodile, who so enjoyed that little appetizer that he's been on the prowl for a second helping. Hook wants nothing more than to settle the score with that pixie-dusted little punk (preferably on his home turf of the Jolly Roger) once and for all.
- ALLIES: Mr. Smee and the rest of his pirate crew
- QUOTE: "Double the powder and shorten the fuse!"
- FILM: "Aladdin" (1992)
- VOICE ACTOR: Jonathan Freeman
- ANIMATOR: Andreas Deja
- GAME ARTIST: Fabio Perez
- Being the Grand Vizier isn't good enough for Jafar anymore; now he wants to rule Agrabah himself. He knows that the only thing needed to achieve such a lofty goal is a magic lamp, wherein is contained a genie who can do Jafar's bidding. The tricky part is finding this lamp. Enlisting the aid of a raggedy street rat to do his dirty work, how was Jafar to know that this same street rat would be his undoing? Or maybe it's his own lust for power?
- ALLIES: Iago, Gazeem and the palace guards
- QUOTE: "Finally, you will bow to me!"
- FILM: "Sleeping Beauty" (1959)
- VOICE ACTOR: Eleanor Audley
- ANIMATOR: Marc Davis
- GAME ARTIST: N/A
- Just think: if she had only been invited to the ceremony, this would never have happened. But the devilishly delightful Maleficent is not about to let them get away with this royal snub without due recourse, in the form of a cursed spinning wheel. And if all else fails, she can always turn into an ominous fire-breathing dragon.
- ALLIES: Diablo (her raven) and a mess of hideous goons
- QUOTE: "Now go with a curse and serve me well!"
- FILM: "Robin Hood" (1973)
- VOICE ACTOR: Peter Ustinov
- ANIMATOR: Ollie Johnston
- GAME ARTIST: Jesse Suursoo
- When the king's away, the prince will play - and the poor people of Nottingham will be forced to pay. "P.J." wallows in gold-encrusted wealth and power while his minions tax the poor out of house and home. Now their only hope is that meddlesome Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest
- ALLIES: Sir Hiss, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Trigger, Nutsy, rhino guards and wolf archers
- QUOTE: "This crown gives me a feeling of power!"
- FILM: "Alice In Wonderland" (1951)
- VOICE ACTOR: Verna Felton
- ANIMATOR: Frank Thomas
- GAME ARTIST: N/A
- This loudmouthed tyrant is practically bursting with rage, and heaven help the poor soul that crosses her. It's ironic that she would be called the Queen of Hearts, as she doesn't seem to actually have a heart. Witness the crazed revelry in her eyes as she whacks at the poor hedgehog during that ridiculous game of croquet or has some unfortunate beheaded for the minuscule offense.
- ALLIES: The King of Hearts and an army of card guards
- QUOTE: "If I lose my temper, you lose your head."
- FILM: "The Little Mermaid" (1989)
- VOICE ACTOR: Pat Carroll
- ANIMATOR: Ruben Aquino
- GAME ARTIST: N/A
- They weren't kidding when they called her, well, a witch. Ursula has it bad when it comes to revenge against King Triton, and she'll go to any depth (ocean or otherwise) to get it. She finds her chance in the form of the merking's headstrong, land-loving daughter, Ariel. With just a little bit of magic, and a binding contract, the little mermaid's dreams will come true - and so will Ursula's.
- ALLIES: Flotsam and Jetsam
- QUOTE: "The sea and all its spoils bow to my power!"
That concludes the initial set of villains from the game Disney Villainous for Halloween. But there have been many expansion packs made to the game after that, and they will be given their own posts at a later time. You also may have noticed that I tried to include the artists who drew the villains in the game, as taken from the Wiki site on this game. Unfortunately, not all of them are available, but if I find them, I will update the posts.
For the first two expansion packs, "Wicked To The Core" and "Evil Comes Prepared", go here.
