Top 5 Disney Villians... That Weren't Actually Villians

It's called 'Disney Pixar,' people!

Top 5 Disney Villians... That Weren't Actually Villians
The Walt Disney Company

In Disney movies, there are heroes and villains that really make the movie... but are the villains really "villains?" Let's take a look at five Disney villains that weren't actually:

5. Yzma

"The Emperor's New Groove" is obviously an amazing movie, and Yzma was an amazing villain. But, let's all be real here, Kuzco would be an AWFUL ruler. All he really cares about is himself, and as a ruler, he would only care about himself, and would barely bat an eye for the rest of the town. Yes, Yzma would be rather harsh, but all she really wanted was to rule, and to be honest I'd trust Yzma as a ruler more than I'd ever trust Kuzco. Plus, she got herself one hell of a henchman.

4. The Hyenas

The hyenas are one of the most hilarious parts of "The Lion King," and they make great, and interesting villains. But, come on, they're villains? All this trio really wanted was food! Mufasa, being a 'great leader' he was, threw them out of the pride lands and banished them to the elephant graveyard. First of all, who picks up elephants and brings them to this graveyard? Second of all, their problem was they didn't have food. Instead of helping them with that problem and putting them in a place where there was food in the Pridelands, or gave them rations, he sends them to the ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD. Literally, he told them to chew on bones and hope there is meat left. Plus, noticing that they're rather young, he probably banished them when they were children. What the hell, Mufasa!? Hey, I'd side with the brother too if he offered me food while the other one threw me out to go eat some elephant scraps.

3. Gaston

"Beauty And The Beast"'s Gaston. You have no idea how many times I've screamed to the screen; "What are you doing?! Stop!" To this son of a gun. He might be a player, he might have a case of Stockholm Syndrome, and he might be sort of a douchebag, but he is definitely not a villain. Everyone in the town literally saw Gaston as a king, as their savior. Every man wanted to be him, and every girl wanted to have him. The whole pub sang in Gaston's honor. He just wanted to keep the town, and Belle safe. If there was a huge beast that seemed like it was going to destroy my town and the girl of my dreams, and I had that confidence (andthehugebiceps) to fight, his head would ALREADY be on my mantel.

2. Skinner

Now, don't get me wrong, I hated Chef Skinner. He was overly harsh to Linguini, who just wanted to be a fancy li'l garbage boy. Although, you do have to agree with him on some points. Having rats in the kitchen is disgustingly unhygienic, and I don't care if it's delicious or not, I'd rather not have a rat massaging my food. I don't really think they have tiny little rat gloves, either. Yes, Remy walked not touching his paws to the ground, but how am I supposed to know that?! Also, let's say this; You're about to get a five-star restaurant from an old friend of yours that just died. You have big ideas for the company, that you may think might get you more customers. Suddenly, some wimpy ginger kid waltzes in on your plans ready to ruin all of it. To be honest, I'd be pretty hard on him, too.

1. Ursula

Now, this one kind of gets me mad. Ursula is one of my favorite villains in Disney. Her sassiness, her confidence, her intelligence, and her godly singing voice. Although — she is not a villain! Ursula was literally just doing her job. Hey, Ursula didn't force Ariel to come over to her. Her henchman offered, she was just hoping. It was Ariel who came in and signed the damned contract. Ursula literally told her everything. It wasn't like she was hiding what would happen if Ariel lost. Ariel has heard the stories about Ursula, she was warned even before Ursula lured her. Personally, Ursula put out all the terms and conditions, and Ariel just signed (for a hot guy she saved from drowning). Ursula, you go, girl! Do your job, boo.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
