10 Surprisingly Rubbish Animated Movie Villains

3. Cruella De Vil - 101 Dalmations

The Lion King Scar
Disney

No one is saying that Cruella De Vil isn't a terrifying monster of a human being. Just that one image of her erratically driving the car with fury in her eyes is enough to cement her position as one of Disney's scariest villains.

But she's really not all that good at her job, is she?

Like, her one goal in life is to make fur coats, which means that her enemies are defenseless little puppies. And she still can't get the job done. How incompetent do you have to be that you can't defeat a bunch of dogs, animals who are reportedly only as intelligent as two year old babies?

Furthermore, she puts her trust in the worst places, enlisting the two dumbest henchmen alive to carry out her dirty work. Honestly it's like her heart isn't even in it, and she has no one but herself to blame for her failures.
