Here's the next sin...

#6. ENVY
A lot of Disney baddies are green in the face with it. Jealousy of those who have the power (usually regal), these no-goods will give it everything they've got to get some of their own.

PROF. RATIGAN
  • FILM: "The Great Mouse Detective" (1986)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Vincent Price
  • SUPERVISING ANIMATOR: Glen Keane
  • DVD: Available
  • When you are the self-proclaimed world's greatest rat... I mean, criminal mind, you should expect to have the world's greatest (mouse) detective constantly throwing a wrench into your plans. Lifelong archenemies Professor Ratigan and Basil of Baker Street have squared off countless times before, but when the villain plots to go after the queen, all bets are off.
  • OCCUPATION(S): Crimelord
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Fidget, Felicia, an army of rodent thugs
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Treason, attempted regicide, kidnapping, murder, attempted murder, unlawful entry, assault
  • GOTTA SING-SING: "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind"
  • QUOTE: "Ooh, I love it when I'm nasty."
  • FINAL VERDICT: During his battle royale with Basil atop Big Ben, Ratigan falls to his doom into the mighty Thames far below.

URSULA
  • FILM: "The Little Mermaid" (1989)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Pat Carroll
  • SUPERVISING ANIMATOR: Ruben Aquino
  • DVD: Available
  • They weren't kidding when they called her, well, a witch. Ursula has it bad when it comes to revenge against King Triton, and will go to the depths of the ocean to get it. The perfect opportunity arises with the mer-king's headstrong, land-loving daughter Ariel. With "just a little bit of magic", the mermaid's dreams come true, as do Ursula's...
  • OCCUPATION(S): Former courtier, now sea-witch for hire
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Flotsam and Jetsam
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Treason, fraud, theft, attempted murder
  • GOTTA SING-SING: "Poor Unfortunate Souls"
  • QUOTE: "Beluga, sevruga, come winds of the Caspian sea. Larynxes, glacydis, ad max laryngitis la voce to me. Now... sing!"
  • FINAL VERDICT: Ursula is impaled on the bow of a sunken ship piloted by the little mermaid's true love, Prince Eric.

JAFAR
  • FILM: "Aladdin" (1992)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Jonathan Freeman
  • SUPERVISING ANIMATOR: Andreas Deja
  • DVD: Available
  • Being the Grand Vizier just isn't enough for Jafar anymore; he wants to rule Agrabah himself as well, and knows that all he needs to do to succeed is find a legendary magic lamp, provided he can find it. Enlisting the aid of a ragged street rat, how was he to know that Aladdin would be his ultimate downfall... or would it be his own lust for power?
  • OCCUPATION(S): Vizier
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Iago
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Attempted murder, kidnapping, treason, assault and battery, theft
  • GOTTA SING-SING: A sarcastic reprise of "Prince Ali"
  • QUOTE: (to Aladdin) "How many times do I have to kill you, boy?"
  • FINAL VERDICT: Jafar is tricked by Aladdin into having the Genie turn him into a genie himself, whereupon he's promptly confined to his own magic lamp and then drop-kicked into the desert.

SCAR
  • FILM: "The Lion King" (1994)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Jeremy Irons
  • SUPERVISING ANIMATOR: Andreas Deja
  • DVD: Available
  • Forget that "little hairball" Simba, it is Scar who really just can't wait to be king. When all is said and done, he has murdered his own brother, aligned himself with the scavenging hyenas and sent the Pride Lands into ruin. But when Simba returns from the "dead", his loving uncle sure has a lot of explaining to do...
  • OCCUPATION(S): Predator
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Shenzi, Banzai, Ed and the other hyenas
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Fratricide, regicide, attempted murder, inciting a riot, assault and battery
  • GOTTA SING-SING: "Be Prepared"
  • QUOTE: "Long live the king."
  • FINAL VERDICT: Having betrayed them, Scar is left to the hyenas, who dispatch their own brand of jungle justice.

STINKY PETE
  • FILM: "Toy Story 2" (1999)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Kelsey Grammer
  • DVD: Available
  • Sure, he's in mint condition, but at what cost? Sitting unwanted on a shelf in a store for years has slowly eroded the sanity of Pete the Ol' Prospector. The Japanese museum Al is planning on sending The Roundup Gang to is Pete's last chance for glory, and no hand-me-down cowboy doll and his upstart space toy pal are going to stand in his way.
  • OCCUPATION(S): Prospector
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Al (in a roundabout way)
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Attempted murder, assault
  • QUOTE: "Your choice, Woody: you can go to Japan together or in pieces. If he fixed you once, he can fix you again!"
  • FINAL VERDICT: It's playtime for Pete with a very creative Barbie owner.

YZMA
  • FILM: "The Emperor's New Groove" (2000)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Eartha Kitt
  • SUPERVISING ANIMATOR: Dale Baer
  • DVD: Available
  • Sacked from her cushy position as the Emperor's advisor, Yzma seeks revenge by poisoning him and usurping his rule. Alas, the plan backfires with a small potion mix-up, which turns the spoiled Kuzco into a llama who (thanks to her muscle-headed henchman) escapes. To remain Empress, Yzma must take matters into her own bony hands.
  • OCCUPATION(S): Royal advisor
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Kronk
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Attempted regicide, treason, kidnapping, assault and battery
  • QUOTE: (in response to Kuzco's unexpected reaction to the "poison") "What!! A LLAMA??? He's supposed to be DEAD!!!"
  • FINAL VERDICT: Let me put it this way: "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..."

RANDALL BOGGS
  • FILM: "Monsters, Inc." (2001)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Steve Buscemi
  • DVD: Available
  • Basically, he just wants to make himself be the ultimate monster, the Top Scarer, and he'll become and stay that way, no matter what. When a human wanders into the Monster realm, Randall tries to make life miserable for Mike and Sully, and he's got most of the Monsters, Inc. staff on his side.
  • OCCUPATION(S): Monster
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Henry J. Waternoose, the Child Detection Agency
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Kidnapping, abuse, trespassing, attempted murder
  • QUOTE: (in response to his scaring of Mike in the locker room) "What do you know? It scares little kids and little monsters."
  • FINAL VERDICT: During the chase through the doors, Mike and Sully lure Randall into one door (which leads to a bayou) and slams it shut. They then knock it off its hanger. The door goes plummeting to the floor and smashes to bits.

SYNDROME
  • FILM: "The Incredibles" (2004)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Jason Lee
  • DVD: Available
  • Annie Wilkes ain't got nothin' on this "number one fan". It all started years ago when Buddy Pine saw his career as "Incredi-Boy" cut short when he was rejected by his idol, Mr. Incredible. Buddy's hero worship turned to hatred, fueling his warped genius into adulthood; his path littered with the bodies of real supers, Mr. Incredible and his family are the next to go.
  • OCCUPATION(S): Would-be superhero
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Mirage
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Murder, kidnapping, assault and battery, terrorism
  • QUOTE: (to Mr. Incredible) "Oh, I'm real all right... real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts; your oh-so-precious powers..."
  • FINAL VERDICT: While trying to kidnap baby Jack-Jack, Syndrome's cape is snagged in his plane's engine and then... well, let's just say he should have listened to what Edna Mode said about capes...

BOWLER HAT GUY
  • FILM: "Meet the Robinsons" (2007)
  • VOICE ACTOR: Stephen J. Anderson
  • DVD: Now available
  • This fellow was unable to fulfill his own dreams and as a kid, he was never too good at baseball. What's more, his success was eclipsed by that of Cornelius and especially Lewis and, in an effort to place the rap on them for his misfortunes, he's been trying to make life miserable for them ever since.
  • OCCUPATION(S): Would-be inventor
  • PARTNER(S) IN CRIME: Doris
  • CRIMES COMMITTED: Grand theft, kidnapping, abuse, terrorism, assault and battery, attempted murder
  • QUOTE: (to Lewis and Wilbur) "Take a good look around, boys. Because your future is about to change."
  • FINAL VERDICT: On the run from a Robinson family enslaved by millions of Doris replicas, Lewis manages to return to the present and warn BHG of what would happen if the hat was invented, after which the hat is destroyed. They then return to the future and see it restored. The now-free Robinson family tries to adopt BHG, only to find him missing with new objectives in place of old ones.

Well, so much for sin number six; we'll continue on later...
