Lord Shen is the "Scar" of DreamWorks , every detail about him makes this villain the best , Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of the most emotional animated movies ever
Lord Shen isn't just one of the greatest DreamWorks villains ever. He's one of the greatest villains in animation history. No one can voice Shen better than Gary Oldman 🙌🙌
What I love about Captain Dubois from Madagascar 3 is the fact that she's such a simple villain with no sad backstory, just wanted a Lion for her collection and yet the filmmakers made her into some sort of Terminator killing machine in hunting the animals which makes her such a badass, scary and entertaining villain in DreamWorks history. Hans Zimmer's amazing music for her really helps a lot too and you can just tell Frances McDormand had a lot of fun voicing her
It turns out she is more than just an animal controlling officer, she’s a poacher. doesn't care about her job as animal control officer! All she does is poach animals just for the sport of it! DuBois had no intention of bringing the animals back to the New York City Zoo in the first place. (the crowd gasps) She was secretly planning on killing the animals just so she could skin them and mount their heads on the walls as trophies in her home! She's more than just an animal control officer, she's a poacher! A deranged lunatic that hunts and kills animals for her own twisted amusement! She even kills endangered animals!
Lord Shen is my favourite animated villain out of all animation, he is so villainous and manipulative, he is is his intelligence to get what he wants and the best part about what he does is that he does it for pretty much no reason, which is what makes a true villain to me. Also him being voiced by Gary Oldman and being a rare white peacock is Fricken awsome
I love how "Megamind" subverts expectations. Hal, AKA Titan, would be the hero in any other movie, and Megamind the villian. But Megamind doesn't try to force Roxanne into loving him, while Hal thinks that he's entitled to her.
As for Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, let's give a shout out for Hans Zimmer in making an awesome theme song for the villains especially for Kai and Dubois which i really enjoyed every second of it
Lord Shen from KFP 2 is undoubtedly the best villain in the Dreamworks films in my opinion! The fact that he committed genocide against the Panda’s was absolutely cruel. The way he carries himself, being high, mighty, and menacing only fuels the cool factor of his character, including how he and Po are connected in their stories. Plus, he is a skilled peacock warrior. 🦚 ⚔️
It's a shame that movie flopped, they could've done so much with that universe. I remember Sandman's death was the saddest thing I've ever seen as a kid. I just cannot watch how he died
Eris is one of the best movie villains ever, she's the Maleficent of DreamWorks. Pfeiffer was a perfect casting. DreamWorks always choose a perfect voice cast for their villains.
Even someone like Dubois who have no tragic backstory but the filmmakers made her look like a Terminator makes her an awesome villain. I also appreciate how commited she is to her work 😂
I love the trilogy, my only complain is the villain in the third movie that wasn't all that strong. I found him very boring, basic of motivation and forgettable. I can't even remember his name
well I honestly think that 2 move villains are weaker than viggo from animated series he is villan from 3rd move but much better executed and more cunning with his mind games than that long headed grampa ever had
@@ErasureeraserWell, you don't need a strong villain to be great. You need a villain that is actually smart, cunning and actually threatening and intimidating. The villain's name was Grimmel btw. I like how Grimmel raises actual stakes every time he appears on screen or when he actually talks too. From his first appearance, to Hiccup's house, to him knowing that Hiccup will be heading north, all of it. I also like how he is a parallel to Hiccup. It's like if Hiccup killed the Night Fury that day but Hiccup didn't because he actually cared and Grimmel just almost wiped out the entire species. F. Murray did a fantastic job with his voice. And I think he is the only villain that actually wins even at his death.
@@yugiohgames104 I think all not villains need to be strong or either smart depends how you look the characterization on them but I wanted to see how Grimmel can wiped all the night furies by himself but sadly the movie doesn't even trying to show how great he is instead he only catch Toothless with a single luck that's why people said he's the weakest villain even he had the same feats like Hiccup does, because night furies are super intelligent dragon species they able to flight longer and can stand in the cold same with other dragons as shown in the shows even in Berk have winter season too, personally Drago is way worse than Grimmel as a villain himself
Tai lung was the antagonist but he was more shifu's than he was to Po, Kai was manage to damaged and almost make Po lose his hope, but shen broke Po and gave him PTSD
You forgot one Christine Baranski as Chef Bergen, Rachel Bloom as Queen Barb , Annie Murphy as Chelsea Van Der Zee aka Queen Nasira ,Steve Buscemi as Francis Evan Francis, and Amy Schumer as Velvet
Djimon Hounsou makes Drago Bludvist incredibly menacing with his raspy voice and the blood-curling screams used for summoning and controlling dragons. Djimon Hounsou's Drago Bludvist left a long-lasting impact on the franchise, and fans continue to get chills when they see him appear in How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Ian McShane's voice acting hits all the right notes for a good villain: against most opponents, Tai Lung is smug, confident and assured, but with Shifu, he gives way to fury as he confronts his foster father about his role in all this.
A huge part of Kai's success as a villain comes from his impeccable voice acting at the hands of JK Simmons, who consistently plays threatening, high concept villains like General Wade Eiling in Justice League Unlimited.
F. Murray Abraham has a cold and calculated voice as he portrays Grimmel the Grisly in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, like he is always in control of the situation and knows what to say or do to ensure he maintains it.
Kai is an amazing villain in terms of presentation in Kung Fu Panda 3. His design and jade color theme sell him as an unnatural being, and his ability to steal chi and turn his victims into jade zombies encapsulates Kung Fu Panda 3's themes on the differences between sharing knowledge and hoarding it.
Jennifer Saunders' performance gives the Fairy Godmother such life: she presents herself like a showman and knows how to play perfectly to the crowds, but behind closed doors, she can be ruthless and without mercy.
Ramses is a complex character who wants to live up to the legacy of his ancestors, and his yearning causes tears in his brotherly bond with Moses. Ralph Fiennes understands what to bring to Ramses and displays his conflicts and stubbornness through scenes.
What makes Hal Stewart so dangerous as Tighten is that he takes a liking to his newly transformed self and gains a sense of empowerment from it. Tighten does not shy away from the disposal of his enemies in order to achieve his goals, which speaks to how he readily puts ego and power above empathy.
What I like about Eris is she can be seductive first, then chaotic next. And Michelle Pfeiffer nailed that duality of that attractive goddess of chaos.
Kai has the most unique fighting style with a mix of strong physical attacks and using his dual blades like ranged weapons. JK Simmons' performance adds a lot to the character: normally he plays Kai as an intimidating force with nothing to fear, but when he gets annoyed or frustrated by his lack of a legacy among mortals, JK Simmons gets to have some fun in his delivery.
What makes Lord Shen such a fantastic villain is the tragedy of his character. At his core, all he longs for is happiness and self-acceptance, but he is too scarred by the past to accept what has happened and instead focus on the present moment. This leads him to pursue bigger and better conquests in the hope that they will fill the hole in his heart.
Ralph Fiennes captures the emotional state of Ramses as he struggles between love and pride. This adds a strong human element to this divine story and allows audiences to empathize with Ramses' situation.
Ralph Fiennes brings his villainous charm to Ramses. Ian McShane plays Tai Lung as a tragic villain. Gary Oldman creates another memorable villain in Lord Shen. Jude Law brings eeriness to Pitch Black. Djimon Hounsou makes Drago Bludvist so terrifying.
With stellar hand-drawn animation and Ralph Fiennes' outstanding performance, all of Ramses' emotions are laid bare, showing audiences how much this feud kills him inside.
As Kung Fu Panda continues, Ian McShane constantly makes Tai Lung intriguing to watch and presents plenty of anger in scenes like the fight against Master Shifu. From rageful confrontations to demanding Shifu's pride, Ian McShane delivers every line of Tai Lung's dialogue elegantly.
Hal Stewart is the complete package as Tighten, but his lack of focus and uncontrollable temper keeps him from outsmarting Megamind and ranking higher.
Ralph Fiennes voices two of best DreamWorks villains, Ramses in the Prince of Egypt and Victor Quartermaine in Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Lord Shen is one of the best DreamWorks villains thanks to his gorgeous design and how complex he is as a character. Though he presents himself as a mighty warlord, at his core he is a scarred peacock who cannot move past the trauma of being rejected by his family.
The top Greatest DreamWorks Villains that I recognize are Donald Edward "Don" Lino from Shark Tale, Dave [AKA Dr. Octavius Brine] from The Penguins of Madagascar, Gallaxhar from Monsters vs Aliens, The Toad from Flushed Away, Rumpelstiltski from Shrek Forever After, General Kai the Collecter from Kung Fu Panda 3, Drago Bludvist from How to Train Your Dragon 2, Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda, Hal Stewart [AKA Titan] from Megamind, Captain Chantel Dubois from Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians, Fairy Godmother from, Shrek 2, Lord Farquaad from Shrek, Colonel George Armstrong Custer, "SPIRIT: STALLION of the CIMARRON" and Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda
Gary Oldman expertly captures Shen's gleefully evil personality and remorseless behavior whenever he demonstrates his advanced weaponry or makes manipulative attempts against Po. Shen was proof that Gary Oldman can excel in both animation and live-action when portraying villains.
Out of all the HTTYD villains listed on this list they should’ve also included Dagur & Johann Dagur started off as a crazed warlord who’s unpredictability & determination can bring fear & intimidation towards his foes. Plus throughout the rest of the series he’s slowly became more of an antihero as we learn more about his background & the growth he developed in learning about his father & bonded with his sister Heather. Then there’s Johann, he was an antagonist that NO ONE saw coming!😱 Like Viggo & Grimmel, Johann is extremely cunning & calculative. However unlike those two, Johann knew how to play the long game in getting what he wants. He spent his years masquerading as a timid & annoying seafaring man traveling port to port to trade goods & being a loyal ally & friend to Hiccup & his loved ones, but in reality he’s a thief whom steals & murders other sailors & perceived their adventure stories as his own to cover his tracks while also abusing the Hooligan tribes trust to get what he desired the most, the king of dragons. His use of emotional manipulation managed to threw off Hiccup & his father & nearly succeeded in obtaining his life’s goal.
Personally my favorite dreamworks villain is flushed aways the toad. Ian mckellens voice performance was stellar and he brought so much personality and arrogance to the character. He has such a tragic backstory too. Being a beloved pet before a rat came in and stole his spot, resulting in his hatred in the rodents. Not the most deep backstory but still sad. He had such a good life
What makes Lord Shen a dangerous enemy on the battlefield is because of his strategic planning and weapons expertise. Lord Shen is especially proficient with gunpowder and his proficiency with the ingredient pushes him to build a huge cannon to conquer all of China.
My thoughts exactly. This might be an unpopular option but Viggo is truly my favorite villain in all animation. Sure I haven’t seen it all but out of all the villains I’ve seen, Viggo is hands down my favorite.
@@michaelgualtieri651 Though not technically the villain, but he had the most character development among all disposable characters in the Natasha Henstridge movie Species
This is a good list. And yeah Lord Shen is the best Dreamworks villain ever because he’s a really dark and scary villain. And Gary Oldman did a good job voicing Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2.
Tai Lung is an intimidating fighter who is willing to fight to the extreme, and is both resourceful and unpredictable, having mastered various styles of kung fu.
Tai Lung is a martial arts master who usually fights physically and can take a lot of punishment. Lord Shen relies on his intelligence, speed, hidden throwing knives and cannons to fight. Kai is a supernatural being who uses chi to attack.
Lord Shen, you really messed up and knowing that he overheard his destiny and that he went out of his way to destroy all Panda's was not cool Po's backstory always brings a tear to my eye
I'm more so surprised that not just Frances McDormand voiced Dubois, but she sang that opera song. Damn, now I wanna see her sing like that live. Frances is a freaking legend 🙌🙌
You should have added Doctor Zara from Abominable as one of the honorable mentions as she was super evil as well and was a crazy surprise villain with a super big plot twist.
While sometimes turning his opponents' own weapons and environment against them, for the most part Tai Lung fights using pure Kung Fu and his nerve attacks can paralyze with a touch.
Ian McShane captures the pain and bitterness of Tai Lung. Fans have only sympathized with Tai Lung more and continued to praise Ian McShane for his incredible voice performance.
Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Lord Shen 2. Pitch Black 3. Captain Chantel Dubois These villains each have their style of being wicked and crucial to the worlds around of them, but Lord Shen is the most villainous because of how he sees his fate and what lead him to the dark side. I Imagine myself in the movie against Lord Shen, where I lose my right eye while fighting him (according to the time when this movie came out, I would've been 10 years old!).
Tai Lung is a tragic portrait of someone whose pride and ambitions went too far, driving him to violently lash out and try to take what was not his, harming anyone who stood in his way, including the very person whom he wanted to please in the first place.
Lord Shen was my favorite bad guy but after Puss and Boots 2 the wolf guys definitely is. Also I think Vigo is underestimated he's a great villain and just character in general
With Jack Horner from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, I think that this rank not only is going to be revised, but it's going to have a new number one dethroning Shen.
Wait.. no Johann from RTTE? I mean..he literally attended YEARS for achieve his goal. He pretended to be Hiccup's ally just to use him and try to kill him and the riders several times making it seem like coincidences.... And Viggo must surely have been above Grimmel and perhaps also above Drago
19:46 My most favorite Non Disney villain. To be fair to him it’s the weight of Legacy he was trying to live up to was what drove what happened with and to him. And it is what ended up giving him the worst consequences. 20:53 My second favorite Non Disney villain.
#20: Donald Edward “Don” Lino (Shark Tale) #19: Viggo Grimborn (DreamWorks Dragons) #18: Dave (a.k.a. Dr. Octavius Brine) (The Penguins of Madagascar) #17: Tzekel-Kan (The Road to El Dorado) #16: Gallaxhar (Monsters vs. Aliens) #15: The Toad (Flushed Away) #14: Rumpelstiltskin (Shrek Forever After) #13: General Kai the Collector (Kung Fu Panda 3) #12: Grimmel the Gristly (How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World) #11: Drago Bludvist (How to Train Your Dragon 2) #10: Tai Lung (Kung Fu Panda) #9: Eris (Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas) #8: Melisha & Willard Tweedy (Chicken Run) #7: Hal Stewart (a.k.a. Titan) (Megamind) #6: Captain Chantel Dubois (Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted) #5: Rameses II (The Prince of Egypt) #4: Pitch Black (Rise of the Guardians) #3: Fairy Godmother (Shrek 2) #2: Lord Farquaad (Shrek) Honorable Mentions: - Colonel George Armstrong Custer (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron) - The Royal Chef of Bergen Town (Trolls) - General Mandible (Antz) - Lord Victor Quartermaine (Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) - Professor Pee-Pee Diarrheastein Poopypants, Esq (Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie) #1: Lord Shen (Kung Fu Panda 2)
I personally watched the last video top 10 dreamworks villains recently and I recognised two differences 1.that pitch black is way more appreciated than last time(personally I would have put him at least at second place)2.that Captain Chantel DuBois is in my opinion low she should have at least been 4th. Overall the picks are well matched with the villains.
I don’t know how much of a villain we are classing him (cause he’s typically only territorial and only really seen attacking the Penguins and Lemurs), but Joey from the Penguins of Madagascar Show was one of my favorite characters. I have no idea why. But for confirmed Villains, Dr Blowhole and Dave, both from the Madagascar Franchise.

Madame Chantel Dubois is my favorite
Gotta be Pitch Black.
My favorite is Barb, queen of the Hard Rock Trolls.
1 should have been Gunmar from Trollhunters
Tighten
Lord Shen is the "Scar" of DreamWorks , every detail about him makes this villain the best , Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of the most emotional animated movies ever
DreamWorks managed to make a peacock so scary for a villain role, mad respect 🙌
Absolutely one of the greatest villains in any animated film! “…China will be mine!”
Number One Most Hated DreamWorks Villain!
Same words in every coment
Fun fact. Gary Oldman, they guy who voiced Shen, also played Sirius Black in Harry Potter. Anyone pick up on that.
Lord Shen isn't just one of the greatest DreamWorks villains ever. He's one of the greatest villains in animation history. No one can voice Shen better than Gary Oldman 🙌🙌
Can you do a list of some of the greatest animated villains of movie history between 2000-2022?
He's like Scar from The Lion King
What I love about Captain Dubois from Madagascar 3 is the fact that she's such a simple villain with no sad backstory, just wanted a Lion for her collection and yet the filmmakers made her into some sort of Terminator killing machine in hunting the animals which makes her such a badass, scary and entertaining villain in DreamWorks history.

It turns out she is more than just an animal controlling officer, she’s a poacher. doesn't care about her job as animal control officer! All she does is poach animals just for the sport of it! DuBois had no intention of bringing the animals back to the New York City Zoo in the first place. (the crowd gasps) She was secretly planning on killing the animals just so she could skin them and mount their heads on the walls as trophies in her home! She's more than just an animal control officer, she's a poacher! A deranged lunatic that hunts and kills animals for her own twisted amusement! She even kills endangered animals!
Lord Shen is my favourite animated villain out of all animation, he is so villainous and manipulative, he is is his intelligence to get what he wants and the best part about what he does is that he does it for pretty much no reason, which is what makes a true villain to me. Also him being voiced by Gary Oldman and being a rare white peacock is Fricken awsome
They really succeeded in making a Peacock like Lord Shen a scary dictator.
You said it. Shen even has such a complexity during the movie.
I love how "Megamind" subverts expectations. Hal, AKA Titan, would be the hero in any other movie, and Megamind the villian. But Megamind doesn't try to force Roxanne into loving him, while Hal thinks that he's entitled to her.
Megamind is underrated
That's just toxic
Titan is pretty Much Gaston on Steroids.
He wasn't really a bad guy. He was forced into it cause of how he looks as a child. It's a wonderful movie
@@disneyvillainsfan1666 Wow

Nounounouno
Rbounouno😮🎉
I recently re-watched Kung Fu Panda 2 after so long and Lord Shen is so good. Fantastic villain
Rise of The Guardians is criminally underrated but there’s one thing about this movie, the darkest villain from the shadows Pitch Black
Agreed.
It's a shame that movie flopped, they could've done so much with that universe. I remember Sandman's death was the saddest thing I've ever seen as a kid. I just cannot watch how he died
I didn't know it was underated I remember people yelling it's praise
@@spicybeantofu it was highly reviewed but it didn't do as well in theatres as they hoped and a few people took issue with the darker tone of it.
Huh.. one of the few Dreamworks productions I haven't seen. Will hv to see
Finally seeing Pitch getting the recognition he deserves
Such a good villain
His voice is so fitting too
I love trolls because it has a scary villain Chef Bergen she is my least favorite DreamWorks villian
He's layered(like the rest), it's sad that it was never shown.
@@spicybeantofu Jude Law voiced him, no wonder is so fitting
Eris is one of the best movie villains ever, she's the Maleficent of DreamWorks. Pfeiffer was a perfect casting.
DreamWorks always choose a perfect voice cast for their villains.
True on dat bro. True on dat.
I had no idea that Jennifer Saunders won an award for voicing the Best Villain in a Animated Movie but now I do. I can say she really delivered
I didn't realize DreamWorks had so many good villains.
I knew Lord Shen would be at the number one spot.
I always loved how DreamWorks films had their share of such badass villains!
Even someone like Dubois who have no tragic backstory but the filmmakers made her look like a Terminator makes her an awesome villain. I also appreciate how commited she is to her work 😂
@@ErasureeraserTrue I had no idea how they made her such an OP foe lol
Great list. Rise Of The Guardians is a deeply underappreciated film.
And Shen is one of the best villains ever. Love him!
The How To TrainYour Dragon trilogy is perfection... They indicate how well one can tell a mature story while being a "kid's movie" on the surface
I love the trilogy, my only complain is the villain in the third movie that wasn't all that strong. I found him very boring, basic of motivation and forgettable. I can't even remember his name
well I honestly think that 2 move villains are weaker than viggo from animated series he is villan from 3rd move but much better executed and more cunning with his mind games than that long headed grampa ever had

Tai lung was the antagonist but he was more shifu's than he was to Po, Kai was manage to damaged and almost make Po lose his hope, but shen broke Po and gave him PTSD

Yeah
Was that a little reference
@@isaacstevenson2960 old Disney now Pixar is rivalling dreamworks

F. Murray Abraham has a cold and calculated voice as he portrays Grimmel the Grisly in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, like he is always in control of the situation and knows what to say or do to ensure he maintains it.

@@robbyosborne9708 sadly he had weak characterization

Tighten is a great villain who represents lust very well.
He really is
No! He's the exact opposite of great!
Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and General Kai are badass villains.
The pop culture references used by Dave in Penguins of Madagascar are hilarious.
Ralph Fiennes captures the emotional state of Ramses as he struggles between love and pride. This adds a strong human element to this divine story and allows audiences to empathize with Ramses' situation.
Djimon Hounsou's rough and coarse voice adds to the brutal nature of Drago Bludvist.
Ralph Fiennes brings his villainous charm to Ramses. Ian McShane plays Tai Lung as a tragic villain. Gary Oldman creates another memorable villain in Lord Shen. Jude Law brings eeriness to Pitch Black. Djimon Hounsou makes Drago Bludvist so terrifying.

Gary Oldman's voice gives Lord Shen a menacing tone while being able to squeeze in some humor here and there.
23:22 it’s not every day you see something _literally_ backfire
If Lord Farquaad is not number 1 I'll be so disappointed.
He may not be number 1, but at least he's higher up than Fairy Godmother.
I'm really sad that Professor Poopypants is in honorable mention :(
Ralph Fiennes voices two of best DreamWorks villains, Ramses in the Prince of Egypt and Victor Quartermaine in Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Kai has a deep, gruff and powerful voice, courtesy of JK Simmons.
J.K. Simmons did an amazing job voicing him.
Lord Shen is one of the best DreamWorks villains thanks to his gorgeous design and how complex he is as a character. Though he presents himself as a mighty warlord, at his core he is a scarred peacock who cannot move past the trauma of being rejected by his family.
General Mandible is an undeniably terrifying villain, if only because the prototype presented through him is true to life.
The top Greatest DreamWorks Villains that I recognize are Donald Edward "Don" Lino from Shark Tale, Dave [AKA Dr. Octavius Brine] from The Penguins of Madagascar, Gallaxhar from Monsters vs Aliens, The Toad from Flushed Away, Rumpelstiltski from Shrek Forever After, General Kai the Collecter from Kung Fu Panda 3, Drago Bludvist from How to Train Your Dragon 2, Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda, Hal Stewart [AKA Titan] from Megamind, Captain Chantel Dubois from Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians, Fairy Godmother from, Shrek 2, Lord Farquaad from Shrek, Colonel George Armstrong Custer, "SPIRIT: STALLION of the CIMARRON" and Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda
Professor Marmalade from The Bad Guys!
Adding to the comedic value of Chantel Shannon DuBois is a lovely and intimidating performance by Frances McDormand.
Gary Oldman expertly captures Shen's gleefully evil personality and remorseless behavior whenever he demonstrates his advanced weaponry or makes manipulative attempts against Po. Shen was proof that Gary Oldman can excel in both animation and live-action when portraying villains.
17:08 his nickname is written as Tighten
Fun fact about Lord Farquaad: he represents what Shrek would’ve become if he never met Donkey, Fiona, or the fairytale creatures.
Out of all the HTTYD villains listed on this list they should’ve also included Dagur & Johann
Dagur started off as a crazed warlord who’s unpredictability & determination can bring fear & intimidation towards his foes. Plus throughout the rest of the series he’s slowly became more of an antihero as we learn more about his background & the growth he developed in learning about his father & bonded with his sister Heather.
Then there’s Johann, he was an antagonist that NO ONE saw coming!😱
Like Viggo & Grimmel, Johann is extremely cunning & calculative. However unlike those two, Johann knew how to play the long game in getting what he wants. He spent his years masquerading as a timid & annoying seafaring man traveling port to port to trade goods & being a loyal ally & friend to Hiccup & his loved ones, but in reality he’s a thief whom steals & murders other sailors & perceived their adventure stories as his own to cover his tracks while also abusing the Hooligan tribes trust to get what he desired the most, the king of dragons. His use of emotional manipulation managed to threw off Hiccup & his father & nearly succeeded in obtaining his life’s goal.
Personally my favorite dreamworks villain is flushed aways the toad. Ian mckellens voice performance was stellar and he brought so much personality and arrogance to the character. He has such a tragic backstory too. Being a beloved pet before a rat came in and stole his spot, resulting in his hatred in the rodents. Not the most deep backstory but still sad. He had such a good life
Been a while since I have seen that movie.
@@bighand1530 I recommend revisiting it. It’s one of my favorite movies
@@johnpaczkowski989 Will do.
Was def my fav movie as a kid, although my older brother liked Shark Tales a lot more (bad taste) and we constantly argued on which to put on
@@firebuggg7383 I hear ya.
The Kung Fu Panda franchise has always had amazing villains of each of its installments.
What makes Lord Shen a dangerous enemy on the battlefield is because of his strategic planning and weapons expertise. Lord Shen is especially proficient with gunpowder and his proficiency with the ingredient pushes him to build a huge cannon to conquer all of China.
Viggo is very underrated in my opinion. Had in my opinion the best character development as far as the villians of the HTTYD franchise.
My thoughts exactly. This might be an unpopular option but Viggo is truly my favorite villain in all animation. Sure I haven’t seen it all but out of all the villains I’ve seen, Viggo is hands down my favorite.
Not to mention Alfred Molina’s amazing voice work
@@starryagent9936 Alfred Molina is just great at playing villians. I mean Doc Ock?
@@michaelgualtieri651 Though not technically the villain, but he had the most character development among all disposable characters in the Natasha Henstridge movie Species
My favorite is the Fairy Godmother from " Shrek 2"
I think WatchMojo should make a new DreamWorks villains video because Death is definitely one of the greatest DreamWorks villains of all time.
This is a good list. And yeah Lord Shen is the best Dreamworks villain ever because he’s a really dark and scary villain. And Gary Oldman did a good job voicing Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2.
Tai Lung is an intimidating fighter who is willing to fight to the extreme, and is both resourceful and unpredictable, having mastered various styles of kung fu.
Tai Lung is a martial arts master who usually fights physically and can take a lot of punishment. Lord Shen relies on his intelligence, speed, hidden throwing knives and cannons to fight. Kai is a supernatural being who uses chi to attack.
Lord Shen, you really messed up and knowing that he overheard his destiny and that he went out of his way to destroy all Panda's was not cool Po's backstory always brings a tear to my eye
Pitch Black was so underrated and it would have been interesting had they shown how layered his character really was like in the books.
Death is not only the best DreamWorks villain, he's the best animated villain
I was very surprised that DreamWorks made a villainous cop, even with a opera voice. She really is not to be messed with. Skipper knows it
I'm more so surprised that not just Frances McDormand voiced Dubois, but she sang that opera song. Damn, now I wanna see her sing like that live. Frances is a freaking legend 🙌🙌
To be exact Chantel Dubois is not actually a cop but her outfit is similar to a police uniform and she is actually a poacher
The Prince of Egypt was one of the reasons my fascination with Egypt and the country’s lore and history came to existence.
You should have added Doctor Zara from Abominable as one of the honorable mentions as she was super evil as well and was a crazy surprise villain with a super big plot twist.
I don't really think she's that good as a twist villain they should keep Mr Burnish as a villain but yes she's one of the most evil DW villains
I love Dave's celebrity name drops! 🤣
Nicholas, Cage them!
Drew! Barry! More power!
Robin! Write this down..
Hugh! Jack! Man the battle stations!
And so on...
Dave the Octopus is a force to be reckoned with thanks to his intelligence, camouflage abilities and evil ambitions.
While sometimes turning his opponents' own weapons and environment against them, for the most part Tai Lung fights using pure Kung Fu and his nerve attacks can paralyze with a touch.
Ian McShane captures the pain and bitterness of Tai Lung. Fans have only sympathized with Tai Lung more and continued to praise Ian McShane for his incredible voice performance.
Top 3 (In my opinion):
1. Lord Shen
2. Pitch Black
3. Captain Chantel Dubois
These villains each have their style of being wicked and crucial to the worlds around of them, but Lord Shen is the most villainous because of how he sees his fate and what lead him to the dark side. I Imagine myself in the movie against Lord Shen, where I lose my right eye while fighting him (according to the time when this movie came out, I would've been 10 years old!).
And now Death/Big Bad Wolf just slipped past all of them
To be Honest Death might have been the evil version of Mr. Wolf from the bad guys.
Tai Lung represents what Po could have been with a bad teacher.
Tai Lung is a tragic portrait of someone whose pride and ambitions went too far, driving him to violently lash out and try to take what was not his, harming anyone who stood in his way, including the very person whom he wanted to please in the first place.
80: And that Oogway was right. He’s the reason why Po was chosen as the Dragon Warrior
17:07, I think you accidentally wrote down 7 twice. Does Hal/Titan know he’s really number seven?
Ms Tweedy is still the scariest animated movie villain to me
Agreed
Lord Shen represents what Po could have become if he kept on to old grudges and refused to move on from the past.
I don't really see Ken as a villain either. Who wouldn't be mad that their girlfriend left them for a bee?
Please update this list and add death the wolf from puss in boots the last wish
Lord Shen was my favorite bad guy but after Puss and Boots 2 the wolf guys definitely is. Also I think Vigo is underestimated he's a great villain and just character in general
Ramses is underrated he’s arguably better than both Shen and Ramses
Kung Fu Panda villains are like Batman villains.
The peacock was like the leader of the League of shadows I can't spell his name but he's been trying to get Batman to be the leader after he dies.
@@noahdean9685 Shen's more like The Joker than the League of Shadows leader.
@@jacobmaverickbueller.671 Yeah I can see that maybe Kai he escaped from the spirit world so basically he escaped death.
With Jack Horner from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, I think that this rank not only is going to be revised, but it's going to have a new number one dethroning Shen.
Wait.. no Johann from RTTE?
I mean..he literally attended YEARS for achieve his goal. He pretended to be Hiccup's ally just to use him and try to kill him and the riders several times making it seem like coincidences....
And Viggo must surely have been above Grimmel and perhaps also above Drago
I was shocked to the core when Johann came out as a villain
The fairy god mother from shrek 2 is my favorite that lady is a gangsta period 😂💯
19:46 My most favorite Non Disney villain. To be fair to him it’s the weight of Legacy he was trying to live up to was what drove what happened with and to him. And it is what ended up giving him the worst consequences. 20:53 My second favorite Non Disney villain.

OH MY GOSH YOU INCLUDED VIGGO YOU ARE MY FAVORITE EVER
I have a request for you: Animated scenes where the main character lost their father
I personally watched the last video top 10 dreamworks villains recently and I recognised two differences 1.that pitch black is way more appreciated than last time(personally I would have put him at least at second place)2.that Captain Chantel DuBois is in my opinion low she should have at least been 4th. Overall the picks are well matched with the villains.
26:52 You mean Fire Lord Shen!!!!! HE'S BASICALLY FIRE LORD SOZIN AS A PEACOCK!!!!!
I don’t know how much of a villain we are classing him (cause he’s typically only territorial and only really seen attacking the Penguins and Lemurs), but Joey from the Penguins of Madagascar Show was one of my favorite characters. I have no idea why.
But for confirmed Villains, Dr Blowhole and Dave, both from the Madagascar Franchise.
