What villain is pure evil?

Yeah, that's the thing. To actually make him sympathetic enough to think "well, I can understand why he murdered Mufasa", it seems like you'd basically have to make Mufasa do some pretty bad stuff to him. And then you retroactively screw up the Lion King.

If Chernabog is Satan, then yes, he is the ultimate villain. But in his on-screen appearance, he really doesn't do much besides stand around and look scary. And if you can wait it out until daybreak, he's remarkably easy to defeat.
Gotta disagree...Alien Encounter was built during his tenure (one of the best rides EVER)..he can't be all bad!

Not saying she is the worst but Maleficent got all bent out of shape for not getting invited to a birthday party (no, the live action story is not canon). Certainly petty.

Madame Medusa's wickedness struck me much harder after having a daughter.
Her Australian counterpart in the sequel wasn't much better.

Man who killed Bambi’s mother. May not technically be the most evil villain, but sure did traumatize a lot of viewers!

Frollo and whoever budget-cut the shamans from Rivers of Light.

Has Pinocchio been mentioned yet? It's brimming with villainous characters, the worst being Stromboli and the Coachman.

And I always wondered why he's supposedly Australian but speaks with an American accent (along with the kid in the movie). Not exactly the great George C. Scott's best performance.

For all of those folks saying Scar... They could easily create a backstory for him just as much as they did for Cruella and Maleficent (who I already thought were two of the most "baddies")
I'm gonna go for John Ratcliffe, Lady Tremaine, The hunter from Bambi, Chernabog, and The Queen of Hearts.
Although, I also wouldn't be shocked if Disney came up with some BS for them too.

Frollo technically has a "sad" or "dramatic" backstory.

As I said, though, any backstory for him would involve turning Mufasa into an antagonist almost by necessity. That's not to say they couldn't do it, but it would really change the Lion King.

Either Mufasa is a bully or their parents would be blamed yet again (probably ignored Scar and fawned on Mufasa). That's pretty much Disney's go-to, especially if they kill the parents early on. Any way that they could blame it on Rafiki? Maybe he gave Scar bad info? You can't trust a baboon.

I mean... As if they haven't "really" changed Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmations, and others...

I haven't seen Maleficent so it could be true there -- I don't think any of the others are really changed the way making Mufasa an antagonist would change Lion King, though. It would screw up the whole plot of the film.
