10 Surprisingly Rubbish Animated Movie Villains

Credit where credit's due, Madame Medusa is fairly frightening, in that way that your boozy thrice-divorced aunt who stirs the pot at family weddings is frightening.

And while her misdeeds throughout the length of The Rescuers are certainly villainous in their intent, it's also argue against the fact that she is a complete incompetent. You know how you can tell that she's pretty terrible at getting the job done when it comes to the whole being evil thing? She is outwitted by two mice. Mice.

She is a human person, with all the inherent advantages in height, critical thinking skills, and opposable thumbs, who goes toe to toe against a pair of rodents, and she comes away the loser. How she can look anyone in the eye at any of the annual Disney villain retreats is a mystery.

It's clear that she is a cheap knockoff of Cruella De Vil, and while she also has a presence on this list, Madame Medusa is several orders of magnitude less intimidating as a villain.
