We’re back to sentence some more Disney villains!
Today, we’re not just wrapping up the Silver Age, but we’ll also be diving headfirst
into the films of the Bronze Age!
We’ve got a lot of villains in store today, so without further introduction, please be
seated, and let us get these trials started!
I’m Brad with WickedBinge, and this is Sentencing Disney Villains For Their Crimes: The Silver
and Bronze Age
Our first stop of the day is to Wonderland, as we examine the villain of the Disney classic
Alice in Wonderland!
The first villain we’ll be taking to court is none other than the tyrannical ruler of
Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts!
Though she’s the Queen of Hearts, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say she has anything
but one!
This monarch has one method of punishing those who disobey her, and only one: beheadings!
Right from the get-go, this makes her the first murderer of today’s criminals, and
certainly one of the most dangerous.
Throughout the movie, she also tries to execute Alice, making her guilty of attempted murder,
too.
Since this is her only idea of bringing about justice, we can also safely say that she is
a ruler who abuses her power, rather than using it responsibly.
While she is only guilty of three criminal charges, none of them are to be taken lightly,
and because of that, the Queen of Hearts earns herself the death penalty.
The Queen is an abusive and oppressive ruler who has no regard whatsoever for her people,
so it seems only fair she gets the same punishment that she gave out to so many.
To make a long story short, it’s off with her head!
CRIMES: Murder, Attempted Murder, Abuse of Power
SENTENCING: OFF WITH HER HEAD
We’re leaving Wonderland for England as we head for the next film, Lady and the Tramp!
Up next is a two-for-one special, the Siamese cats known as Si and Am!
Compared to the other villains we’ll be covering today, Si and Am aren’t exactly
the most dangerous, but that doesn’t make them completely harmless.
Though their time in the film is short, they still find ways of making situations worse
for our heroes.
They are guilty of two instances of attempted murder when they try to eat both the family
bird and fish.
Aside from that, this dastardly duo also commits property damage when they destroy much of
their home's furniture, in an attempt to damage Lady’s reputation in the house.
With two criminal offenses shared between both of them, we believe it’s only fair
that these ferocious felines have two years of prison time!
As we said, Si and Am are among the tamer villains we’ll look at today, and that manages
to spare them from a stricter punishment.
Believe us when we say there are far worse Disney villains here than them!
CRIMES: Attempted Murder, Property Damage SENTENCE: 2 Years in Prison
It’s time to leave the Silver Age of Disney as we head into the villains of the Bronze
Age, starting with its first movie, The Aristocats!
At a glance, our next villain, Edgar Balthazar, might not look like much.
Most will see him as little more than your typical cartoon English butler.
In the reality of the film, however, Edgar is a sneaky and opportunistic foe.
Angered by his Madame’s decision to leave her fortune with her kittens, he hatches a
plot to get rid of the animals so that he can become the only possible inheritor of
her finances.
This mission he embarks on alone makes him guilty of animal cruelty, kidnapping, and
embezzlement.
And, like a lot of Disney villains who went up against cats and dogs, he is a great example
of how not to drive.
With four crimes under his belt, we have to give Mr. Balthazar forty years in prison!
He will definitely not enjoy such a punishment, but at the very least, he’ll be happy it
isn’t Timbuktu!
CRIMES: Animal Cruelty, Kidnapping, Reckless Driving, Embezzlement
SENTENCE: 40 Years in Prison
Next up is a trip to the times of kings and knights, as we discuss the fiends of Disney’s
Robin Hood!
Make way for Robin Hood’s greatest enemy, the illustrious Prince John!
Prince John is, in essence, the textbook example of a corrupt and self-absorbed ruler.
John cares not for his people, and instead hordes both his riches and his attention toward
himself.
But when the going gets tough, Prince John is quick to show his true colors as a helpless
and cowardly lion.
Being a corrupt prince, many of John’s offenses go without saying.
He abuses his power by using it only to make himself richer.
John is also guilty of both usurpation and treason, as the only reason he’s even on
the throne in the first place is that he tricked his brother to go out on a crusade.
And, rather obviously, Prince John’s many attempts to stamp out Robin Hood and his comrade
mean he’s attempted murder on several occasions.
As one of the more corrupt villains in Disney’s history, it makes perfect sense to us that
John gets a life sentence in prison!
Considering his offenses, he could have easily gotten the death penalty, but since he’s
only so dangerous of a criminal, that didn’t feel necessary in this case.
That being said, he still remains a scheming individual, so it would be best if he was
removed from society, as it’s likely it would only be a matter of time before he comes
up with another plot.
Prince John might no longer be the ruler of his kingdom, but he can at least be happy
that he’s now gotten a whole cell all to himself!
CRIMES: Attempted Murder, Usurpation, Corruption, Treason, Abuse of Power
SENTENCE: Life in Prison
Prince John might be the villain of this film, but no ruler is anything without minions who
follow them, especially one as cowardly as him.
And while many serve him in the film, none are as loyal to him as the Sheriff of Nottingham!
The sheriff is very much Prince John’s personified fist.
While John spends his time counting money in his castle, the Sheriff is the one who
carries out many of the Prince’s tasks.
Just from that little bit of background, we can go ahead and consider him guilty of aiding
and abetting.
He steals money on behalf of Prince John, too, making theft another one of his offenses.
Lastly, he falsely imprisons several of Robin Hood’s allies, being the only villain in
this video to do so.
While the Sheriff of Nottingham doesn’t commit as many crimes as his prince does,
he’s still heavily involved in many of his schemes, more than any villain in fact.
Because of this, we give the Sheriff the same sentence we gave John: life behind bars!
Since he was John’s right-hand man, it feels appropriate that he gets the same kind of
punishment that his boss got.
But look on the brighter side!
Now, Prince John has a bunk buddy!
CRIMES: Aiding and Abetting, False Imprisonment, Theft
SENTENCE: Life in Prison
Next is the slippery and sneaky Sir Hiss!
Sir Hiss is another one of Prince John’s henchmen, but he’s not nearly as well regarded
as the Sheriff of Nottingham is.
Sir Hiss tries his best to advise his prince on situations, but rarely if ever does John
listen.
While he doesn’t listen to Sir Hiss, Sir Hiss most definitely listens to the prince.
That already makes him guilty of aiding, much like the Sheriff.
His other major offense is brainwashing, an ability he uses to ensure that King Richard
would be gone so John could take the throne.
Sir Hiss isn’t quite as evil as either the Sheriff or Prince John, but he’s still a
cunning opponent who should be treated as such.
Between his small role in the film and his dangerous doings, we have to give this snake
thirty years in prison!
Sir Hiss avoids a longer duration in jail due to having fewer offenses, but considering
how he manipulated the literal king, we hardly think he should get off easy.
Now we just have to create a cell that he can’t wriggle out of!
CRIMES: Aiding and Abetting, Brainwashing SENTENCE: 30 Years in Prison
We have one more villain from Robin Hood to look at, and it is Captain Crocodile!
This reptilian rapscallion isn’t a direct henchman of Prince John, but considering his
actions during the film’s archery tournament, he might as well be!
During this scene, he not only aids John in his effort to apprehend Robin Hood, but he
also tries to kill the fabled freedom fighter as well!
Captain Crocodile has the least amount of screentime of any villain seen in the film,
but don’t let that fool you into thinking he’s less dangerous than the rest.
Due to his role in Prince John’s evil plan, we sentence this captain to twenty years in
jail!
A shorter set of offenses and less screentime than other villains help Crocodile get off
easier than some of his companions, but it will still be quite a while before this crocodile
roams free once more!
CRIMES: Attempted Murder, Aiding and Abetting SENTENCE: 20 Years in Prison
We leave the time of archers and kings behind as we now enter a wonderful world full of
bears and honey!
That’s right, up next on our list is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!
Coming up to the stand is the nightmarish duo that is Heffalumps and Woozles!
These two are featured only briefly in the film, having less screen time than any other
villain on this list, but they are the closest thing this film has to an antagonist, so why
don’t we put them on trial?
Appearing in a dream sequence that Winnie the Pooh endures, these polka-dotted pets
scare the daylights out of him, and try their hardest to apprehend his precious honey.
That’s only one real crime, theft, and even then it’s important to remember that this
is a dream sequence.
So what to do with these apparitions?
Sentence them to a round of community service, of course!
Since they don’t do anything of actual malice in the film’s reality, it would feel a bit
weird to sentence characters for something that happened only in a dream.
Beyond that, we think Winnie himself would want to see them atone for any trouble they’ve
caused, and work to become better people.
That certainly fits the film’s world better than seeing anyone behind bars!
CRIMES: Theft SENTENCE: Community Service
We have but one film left to look at as we dive into Disney’s last film of the 70s,
The Rescuers!
The first villain we’ll be taking to trial in this film is easily the worst of them all,
Madame Medusa!
The owner of a small pawn shop, Medusa is utterly infatuated with recovering the sacred
diamond known as the Devil’s Eye, and she’ll do anything she can to make it hers.
She brings an innocent child, Penny, into her mission, which already makes her a kidnapper.
Madame Medusa is also abusive to just about everyone in the film.
Her interactions with Penny are absolutely an example of child abuse, and she’s not
any nicer around animals, either.
When the duo that is Bianca and Bernard arrive to save Penny, she quickly tries to dispatch
them with anything she can get her hands on, showing that she is not above attempting murder.
And, of course, her attempt to steal the Devil’s Eye adds a theft charge to her list of crimes.
Madame Medusa is undoubtedly one of the nastiest and most unpleasant villains in Disney history,
and due in large part to that, we have to give her a life sentence.
Madame Medusa is someone who truly should not be around any other person or animal,
so it would be best both for her and the community at large if she spent the rest of her days
in solitude.
CRIMES: Kidnapping, Child Abuse, Animal Abuse, Theft
SENTENCE: Life in Prison
Madame Medusa may be the brains of this whole operation, but she’s far from being the
only participant in this criminal undertaking.
She’s also accompanied by the bumbling minion known as Mr. Snoops!
Snoops is nowhere near as evil or as threatening as the madame is, but that isn’t to say
that he’s not afraid of getting his hands a little dirty.
He aids Madame Medusa in her crimes, and he’s also just as guilty of kidnapping and abusing
Penny as she is.
With that in mind, this sidekick has just earned himself thirty years in the slammer!
Snoops’ overall timidness and status as a minion spare him from the sentence Medusa
got, and if he was to confess more about her crimes, that could very well get him an even
more lenient sentence.
We’re not necessarily counting on that, but if there’s one thing that’s true about
Mr. Snoops, it’s that he’ll do anything to save his skin!
CRIMES: Aiding and Abetting, Kidnapping, Child Abuse,
SENTENCE: 30 Years in Prison
Finally, we have Madame Medusa’s pet crocodiles, Brutus and Nero!
Like Snoops, these two are guilty of both aiding and kidnapping Penny, but unlike him,
they are legitimate threats that one should tread lightly around!
The most notable crime they commit is assault, which they do pretty frequently throughout
the film.
From the Rescuers to Penny to even Medusa herself, these crocodiles see anything and
everything as nothing more than food to satiate their appetite, and it’s that attitude that
gets them forty years in prison!
Committing essentially the same set of crimes that Snoop did already gets them the same
time he got, but when you through in the additional assault charge, they quickly get a worse shake
than Snoops did.
And, unlike Snoops, it’s unlikely these two will rat out anyone.
As a result, it makes the most amount of sense that these crocodiles should get a worse deal
than he did.
But, don’t worry, it’s not all bad news for them!
They’ll at least look a lot more youthful when they do get out of prison than either
of their bosses will!
CRIMES: Aiding and Abetting, Assault, Kidnapping, Child Abuse
SENTENCE: 40 Years in Prison
