Disney is full of the most wonderful stories of our
generation. But “The Happiest Place On Earth” certainly has some of the most
frightening villains as well. From the insane Cruella de Vil to the pious
Minister Frollo, Disney certainly knows how to play to the fears of all people.
However, not all Disney villains are quite as obvious as the audience is led to
believe at the beginning of their films, at least not until they show their
true colors near the climax of the movie. Many times, they seem like a genuinely
good guy, or just an annoying character that serves to set the events in
motion. “Beauty and the Beast” illustrates this perfectly with Gaston.
