When he grew up, Zeus found his father and tricked him into drinking a mixture of wine and mustard, which caused him to disgorge the contents of his stomach. The Nymphs took care of Zeus and fed the baby with the milk of a goat. She also tricked Cronus into thinking he swallowed this child too, by giving him a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, which Cronus swallowed thinking it was his newborn. However, Rhea was expecting a sixth child and fearing it would share the same fate with her other children, she secretly gave birth on a mountain in Crete and hid the newborn there. So, when they were born, he swallowed them. He married Rhea, who gave birth to two gods and three goddesses: Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter.īut Cronus inherited the fear of his father and believed that one of his offspring would later take his throne. But his son, Cronus, the strongest of the Titans, defeated him and became world leader. That is why he enclosed every one of them in the depths of the Earth. But, Uranus was afraid that one of his children would take his throne. Then Uranus and Earth came together and gave birth to the Titans. Dense darkness covered everything until the Earth was born out of Chaos and the mountains, the sea, and then the sky (Uranus) with the sun, the moon and the stars. Jolie returned in the role, when the sequel, ‘Maleficent” Mistress of Evil’ was released in 2019.According to Hesiod’s Theogony, in the beginning, there was only Chaos. In 2014, Disney released a live-action film ‘Maleficent’, where Hollywood starlet Angelina Jolie, portrayed the sinister, yet elegant fairy. Maleficent was voiced by Elanor Audley, who also voiced another Disney villainess on our list, Lady Tremaine, the Evil Stepmother in Cinderella (1950). She puts a curse on the Princess Aurora to “prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die” before the sun goes down on the Princess’s 16th birthday. Maleficent is an evil fairy, who makes her claim to fame, after not being invited to a royal Christening. The character was created by Marc Davis, who was an animator at Walt Disney Studios and one of Disney’s “Nine Old Men”, the famed core group of animators. The self-proclaimed “Mistress of All Evil” was introduced to audiences in the 1959 animated film, ‘Sleeping Beauty’. Maleficent is another classic Disney villainess. The Disney film’s version of the Evil Queen was created by Walt Disney and Joe Grant, while the Evil Queen was voiced by Lucille La Verne. She becomes enamored with the beauty of her stepdaughter Princess Snow White and leads her to plot the death of Snow White. Just like in the Brothers Grimm classic, the Evil Queen is a vain, sadistic and just downright cruel witch who owns a magic mirror and is obsessed with remaining “the fairest of them all”. The Evil Queen’s character is based on the Evil Queen from The Brothers Grimm’s 1812 fairy tale by the same name. The main villainess in Disney’s 1937 ‘Snow White’ remains, one of, if not the most recalled Disney villain. The queen with too many nicknames: The Evil Queen, the Wicked Queen, Queen Grimhilde, or just the Queen. The Evil Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
Whatever the reason for the uptick and trend of villains getting the love, we’re here to break down the top ten Disney villains of all time. Or maybe Disney wants us to have more sympathy for their villains! Maybe it’s because we all know the origin stories of our favorite Disney heroes and writers are running out of stories to tell. Whether it’s ‘Cruella’, ‘Maleficent’, or the live-action remakes of ‘Cinderella’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’, it seems bringing Disney villainesses to life is en vogue.
