Some of these [[villain]] characters have appeared in sequels, video games, comic books, stage productions, or live-action adaptations of the original films.
Much like with the ''[[Disney Princess]]'' line with some of Disney's female lead animated characters, Disney's villain characters are also often grouped together as part of a '''''Disney Villains''''' [[media franchise|franchise]], formed by various antagonists from [[Walt Disney Pictures]] productions, with a main focus on characters from animated films, mainly those from [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] productions.<ref name="hour loop">{{cite web|last=Dryfhout|first=Taryn|title=It's Good to be Bad: Why the World has Gone Mad for Disney Villains|url=https://hourloop.com/blogs/news/its-good-to-be-bad-why-the-world-has-gone-mad-for-disney-villains|website=Hour Loop|access-date=2020-04-23|date=2016-07-13|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="screen rant list">{{cite web|last=Hersey|first=Liz|title=The Official List Of Every Evil Disney Villain, Ranked|url=https://screenrant.com/every-evil-disney-villain-ranked/|website=[[Screen Rant]]|access-date=2020-04-24|date=2019-02-24|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="vulture.com">{{cite web|last=Ebiri|first=Bilge|title=Where Are the Disney Villains of Yesteryear?|url=https://www.vulture.com/2014/05/where-have-all-the-disney-villains-gone.html|website=Vulture.com|publisher=[[New York (magazine)|New York]]|access-date=2020-04-23|date=2014-05-29|df=mdy-all}}</ref> {{TOC limit|3}}

<blockquote>a "villain" was defined as a character(s) whose wickedness of mind, selfishness of character and will to power are sometimes masked by beauty and nobility, while others may rage unmasked. They can be horribly evil or grandiosely funny, but are ultimately tragic.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Li |first=Lucy |date=2018-08-30 |title=Who is the Greatest Supervillain in Cinema History According to Data? |url=https://www.displayr.com/who-is-the-greatest-supervillain-in-cinema-history-according-to-data/ |access-date=2024-05-19 |website=Displayr |language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote>
