Top Ten Tuesday #94

Hosted by the Broke and the Bookish!

All About (Disney) Villains, And Their Book Counterparts

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the topic was villains, was "disney villains". So I thought, "how can I tie Disney to books?" And so here I am, comparing the villains in these books to the ones in Disney movies!

I actually do not usually read many books that have a clear cut villain in them, or it's been so long that I've forgotten about them, so this took some serious thinking on my part. But basically, each one of these books has some sort of resemblance to the villain in each book!

Mistborn --> Jafar from Aladdin


The Lord Ruler thinks he is all powerful, just like Jafar who thinks he will be invincible and ruler of Agrabah with the lamp.


Red Rising --> Shere Khan from The Jungle Book


Where the Golds expect no one to infiltrate their ranks and rise within them. Similar to them, Shere Khan wants to get rid of Mowgli because he doesn't belong. I don't remember what the name of the specific villain is in this series, but oh well!

  
Cinder --> Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove


It's funny to actually imagine this, but Queen Levana, just like Yzma, is searching for the true heir so they can get rid of them. And therefore take their place on the throne.


A Darker Shade of Magic --> Evil Queen from Snow White


Holland hates Kell because Kell is a better Antari. Just kidding, this wasn't very well thought out and I am too lazy to change it.


Everything, Everything --> Mother Gothel from Tangled


This one fits perfectly! In this case, Maddie is constantly stuck at home because her mom just wants to protect her and keep her "safe".


A Court of Thorns And Roses --> Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty


I know this is already based on Beauty and the Beast, but can you see the similarities between what's-her-face and her curse upon everyone? And Feyre has to go through a series of challenges, just like Prince Phillip.


Nimona --> Captain Hook from Peter Pan


Technically the protagonist is the villain, and he never really wins at much. Or is constantly beat by the good guy.


Walk On Earth A Stranger --> Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians


Where Lee's uncle just wants all of her gold, or gold seeking abilities. Basically just replace "gold" with "puppies" and you have Cruella.


The Abyss Surrounds Us --> Madame Medusa from The Rescuers


I don't know if anyone has watched The Rescuers, but Madame Medusa kidnaps a little girl (I think it was for ransom?) So in this book, Cas is kidnapped for her abilities to train a Reckoner. Unfortunately no little mice will be saving her. 


The Raven King --> Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog


When you play around with the dead or the spirits, don't expect to not face any consequences!


Hope you enjoyed me using my brain! Can you think of anymore?

What a fabulous twist on this week's topic. These look like great pairings. I remember watching so many of these as a kid, but alas, I've not seen any of them for years. Someday I should rewatch this - and someday I simply MUST read "A Court of Thorns and Roses." I hear it's a good read. :)

Disney has such terrible/wonderful villains!

This was such a great idea! But I just know that if I ever re-read the Lunar Chronicles I am cursed to see Levana as Yzma now! So thanks for that!

Oh this was such an awesome twist on the prompt! I LOVE IT. And I toootally get the Mother Gothel = Everything Everything similarity. For sure!! And omg I loved the Rescuers so much when I was a Small Bean...I think because the sequel was like the only animated movie I'd ever seen set in Australia so WIN. XD
Here's my TTT!

I really love your take on this week's topic! I haven't read any of these books, but I have seen all of the Disney movies, so it makes me excited to read the books and see if I draw the same parallels :)

My TTT.

I love how you have compared book villains to disney characters.
I've only read two I think from this list but now you have me curious. I adore Captain Hook and I'm interested to read Nimona to see if I draw the same comparisons as you did!

OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. What an awesome way to address the prompt! And Mother Gothel is absolutely perfect for Everything Everything - the similarities are uncanny now that you mention it. Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous post! <3

This is such a fun list! I wish I would have thought of something like this. It will be hard to read Morning Star (red rising 3) and think of Shere Khan now. Thanks for the visual! Also, I totally agree about Cinder, LOL!

I've only read Everything, Everything from here, but I'm Yzma. Always. (#WrongLeverKronk) Mother Gothel is a perfect comparison for Maddy's mom tbh. And Dr. Facilier, look at those stylish dance moves in that GIF. I swear, I'm almost tempted to read The Raven King now lolz

omg I'm reading this again and loving it again. I LOVE YOUR SPIN ON THE TOPIC. And also that you used all Disney villains bc obviously. I haven't read all of these books, but for the ones I have, I definitely agree with you! The Mother Gothel one especially omg is so PERFECT. I also loved the books you picked for Yzma, Cruella, Maleficent, Madame Medusa, and Dr. Facilier. A+ choices!

I love your twist on this topic. I love Disney movies and some of them have the best villains, so I think tying them together was genius. Great post.
