Top 10 Animated Movie Villains Motivated by Revenge

Which villain's motivation sends chills down your spine?

I love how most of the motives for the villains on this list are understandable! I mean all of these particular animated movie villains were either mistreated, traumatized or abandoned to the breaking point. So yeah depending on the villain their motives for becoming evil are understandable.

Don’t forget about Scar from The Lion King, Yzma from the Emperor’s New Groove and Lotso from Toy Story 3!

Pitch Black's story is a lot deeper and sadder when looking into ROTG's source material. Even taught me empathy when I looked into it as a kid.

Let me remind everyone that Edgar's revenge on the cats was caused by Madame who she trusts with all of her fortune instead of her hard-working and trustworthy butler who knows how to use money

Syndrome is probably the best Pixar villain ever made. “When everyone is super, no one will be”

The motive for Aggie descending into villainy is heartbreaking. She was only a little girl who was misunderstood by everyone around her, but Norman helps her to come to peace.

Frankly, I’m not sorry for The Spot he brought his predicament on himself when he, and by extension, Alchemix, worked for The Kingpin to build The Collider that could’ve destroyed the multiverse.

Spinel’s backstory is so tremendously heartbreaking especially since she’s been standing in the garden way way before Steven Universe even premiered but I’m glad Steven was able to help her and she was taken in by blue Diamond and others

Dave/Dr. Octavius Brine from Penguins of Madagascar. After being repeatedly relocated and left behind due to penguins being more loved, he despised their entire species to the point of wiping them out completely. “I came to realise sone creatures are born to get all the love, the rest of us get NOTHING!”

'Revenge is a sucker's game' -David Xanatos Zira from Lion King 2 got her entire family involved in her long-held grudge over Scar's death. Even the worst king can have a few hangers-on, particularly a lioness he had cubs with. Reminds me of a certain other female Gargoyles villain...

The fact they made Spot an actual credible threat when he starts out as an absolute dork is impressive

Traumatized pasts can be the number 1 cause the villains can have for revenge

Lotso Huggin Bear from Toy Story 3. He was once a favorite toy to his kid a little girl named Daisy, after being left behind he went off to find her and then when he made it back home, he was devastated and brokenhearted to find that he’d been replaced by another purple teddy bear. After that he found himself in Sunnyside Daycare, so he made an attempt to rig the system and seek revenge on all toys at the Daycare. “Listen up folks we got a way of doing things here at Sunnyside. If you start at the bottom, pay your dues life here can be a dream come true but if you break our rules, step out a line, try to check out early well, you’re just hurting yourself”

Where is Scar? He was jealous of his nephew Simba becoming the king, so he killed his father as a revenge and told to Simba to run away.

Edgar isn't motivated by revenge! He's motivated by greed!

I think the Chef from the first Trolls movie was motivated by revenge.

Nigel from Rio and Rio 2: back in the day, This cockatoo was a fabulous show bird but after being rejected and replaced a pretty parakeet, he swore revenge on all birds of Rio by working for a ruthless gang of smugglers and in the sequel after loosing his ability to fly from the protagonist Blu in the first film his thirst for vengeance couldn’t be more thrilling. “That blue bird caused my misery”
