Holy Hades! Survey Identifies Idaho’s Favorite Disney Villain

Over the decades, Disney has introduced some incredible villains to humanity. While I have my personal top five already decided upon, the bad guy that the majority of Idahoans who took part in a recent survey identified as their favorite wasn't even on my radar.

Coming up with my top five favorite Disney villains wasn't an easy task. I tend to lean more toward human bad guys than animals in these films, whether it's a live-action remake or an animated film.

I have to question the legitimacy of some of these "surveys" that come out online. The results just seem way too far-fetched sometimes, but maybe I'm biased when it comes to my top anti-heroes.
