See the Faces Behind Disney's Greatest Villains

Kristy Puchko — Thu, 02 May 2013 13:55:56 +0000

As children we were all terrified by Disney's villains. Their evil cackles rattled our still-developing brains, and haunted our nightmares along with their songs, which gleefully reveled in their bad intentions and malevolent plots. Yet looking back, these vicious villains are a beloved part of our childhood, from their cruelly pointed toes to their audacious hairdos.

It was a couple of Christmas's ago when my wife Shelley's sisters were in town and it's when we catch up on a lot of videos and one movie they selected was the animated Disney film "Up". I've never been a big fan of animated films so I opted out. But just a half hour in Shelley pleaded with me to watch it because she thought it might be something I'd enjoy. So grudgingly I agreed and she was right. I really did like it. It's a wonderful movie and one element of the movie is when the main character rigs up his house with balloons so he can move it.

Ok…if you’re married and have kids like me, it may have been a little while since you’ve been to the movies. I know for me, it seems like a lifetime since I’ve seen a movie at an actual movie theater. I really had to pinch myself though this past Sunday when we finally decided to take the kids to see the new Disney movie, “Tangled.”
