You Are Reading :20 Disney Channel Villains Reimagined As Parents
The Disney Channel airs live-action family shows and cartoons featuring its well-known anthropomorphic stars. Over the years, the channel has split into different programming for separate age groups. Disney XD has programming for older children and teens. Viewers now tune into Disney to catch up on the newest episodes of Pokémon. Disney Junior is targeted towards young Disney fans, from Preschoolers to kindergarteners. Their shows feature valuable lessons and adorable characters. The primary Disney Channel remains the hub for programming appropriate for families of all age groups.
Most of the Disney Channel stories play off the classic battles of “good versus evil.” During the show, viewers anxiously watch to see the heroes and heroines defeat the evil villains. After the brave characters win, the villains fade into the darkness, never to be heard from again.
Not every viewer wants the heroes and heroines to win. Some may find the villains and their motivations more interesting than those on the side of good. Disney’s The Descendants have explored the idea of “life after defeat” further. The villains were banished to the Isle of the Lost, taking their children with them.
Creative artists have taken over to show what happened to villains who haven’t had the chance to be featured in The Descendants. Many overcame their pure evil ways and became parents. We’ve collected fanart of the Disney Channel’s most evil villains reimagined as parents. While some turned their evil ways around, others wanted to make sure their children finished what they started.
20 His Place Was Always Beside Elsa
Frozen’s Hans of the Kingdom of the Southern Isles was the youngest of thirteen children. His older brothers constantly disrespected him. Unfortunately, it was just part of family tradition. His father believed that the strong should always prey upon the weak. Hans’s mother felt terrible for her youngest son but was unable to do much since her husband was in charge. Hans quickly learned how to survive. He soon targeted the sisters of Arendelle. Hans planned to take out Elsa and marry Anna. In typical Disney movie fashion, his plans were ruined. He returns to the Southern Isles as a disgrace to his family and his people.
Princess of Corona on DeviantArt decided to change the fate of Elsa and Hans. Elsa felt like an outcast because she couldn’t control her powers. Hans was bullied relentlessly as a child for being the youngest child. They found more in common with each other than they expected. Instead of hurting Elsa like in the Frozen film, Hans and Elsa decided to get married instead. Their daughter rests in Hans’ arms while Elsa watches beside him.
Elsa does get her happy ending at the end of Frozen, but in this fanart, Hans could have also been happy as well.
19 Plans To Control Avalor Are Now On Hold
Elena of Avalor is one of Disney’s newest princesses. Unlike other most other Disney Princesses, Elena made her first debut in a show on the Disney Channel. Elena’s life was quickly turned upside down thanks to the evil sorceress Shuriki. She wanted nothing more than to rule over the Kingdom of Avalor. Shuriki finally got her wish, trapped the real rulers of Avalor, and took over the kingdom. With her desire for power taking over, Shuriki slips up. During trade negotiations with the Kingdom of Enchancia, Sofia the First manages to free Princess Elena. Together, Elena frees her family and works to restore the glory of Avalor. Unfortunately, Shuriki wouldn’t be the only power-hungry person in Avalor. Chancellor Esteban also had evil intentions to take over the kingdom.
Shuriki’s fate didn’t have to be so terrible. If she found something else to care about other than power, she could have had a happier outcome.
Meiwakunatto has reimagined Shuriki as a happy mother who has put her evil ways aside.
She and Chancellor Esteban have decided to stop trying to take over Avalor. Together they are starting a new life, away from their enemies. Nothing else in the world matters more to them over their happy little family.
18 In A Universe Without Dark Sides
The Star Wars saga doesn’t stop with the live-action films. The movies spawned a series of novels, comics, video games, and 3D CG cartoons. Star Wars Rebels first debuted on the Disney Channel but was soon moved to Disney XD for older teens. The series takes place fourteen years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. While the Galactic Empire rises in power, rebel forces work to take them down.
Before Darth Vader was created, he was known to his family and friends as Anakin Skywalker. He falls in love with Padmé Amidala, the Queen of Naboo. Due to a series of tragic events, Padmé passes in childbirth to their twins, Luke and Leia. Anakin is gravely injured. When he recovers, he takes on his more sinister persona.
If Anakin didn’t turn to the Dark Side, he could have bypassed fate and lived happily ever after with his wife. Renny08 has reimagined Anakin and Padmé has a happily married couple. Anakin and his daughter Leia are giving each other serious looks. Padmé and Luke are happily staring at the camera with wide smiles on their faces. If Padmé had survived and Anakin remained true to his training, they may have lived happily ever after.
17 Before The Glass Slippers And Pumpkin Carriages
Cinderella is one of Disney’s oldest animated feature films. The movie first debuted in theaters in 1950, then was released on VHS tapes and aired on the Disney Channel decades later. Fans still enjoy the classic storybook romance.
Cinderella suffered from several unfortunate events as a child. Her mother passed when she was a child. Cinderella’s father ended up marrying again to Lady Tremaine. She already had two daughters from a previous relationship named Drizella and Anastasia. Lady Tremaine didn’t let her loathing for Cinderella show at first. After Cinderella’s father passed, her cruel stepmother treated her like a servant instead of a child. Cinderella went on to be blessed with a Fairy Godmother who helped her become a princess, no thanks to Lady Tremaine and her terrible daughters.
There may have been a time when Lady Tremaine wasn’t so terrible. Asjjohnson has reimagined the future stepmother as a kinder parental figure. She’s reading the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Drizella and Anastasia. Lady Tremaine’s daughters are younger in this fanart but still adore their mother more than anything else. They also dream of a handsome, wealthy prince sweeping them off their feet in the future.

16 Mickey’s Oldest Rival Gets A Happy Ending
Mickey Mouse is the mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was first created in the late 1920s and has amused audiences ever since. Mickey Mouse has starred in several shows on the Disney Channel and Disney Junior. His shows often feature fun, exciting action that is less likely to scare even the youngest audiences. Mickey and his friends are always portrayed as the heroes and heroines. One of Mickey’s oldest rivals is Pete the Cat.
Pete the Cat has tormented Mickey Mouse since he was a child. In one of Disney’s oldest works, Pete stole baby Mickey. He also committed other crimes, either to become richer or to cause mayhem.
Though Pete is portrayed as a villain, he has something that Mickey doesn’t: a wife and children.
Pete married his longtime sweetheart, Peg, and they have two children together named PJ and Pistol.
Eshbaal on DeviantArt has drawn the entire Pete clan dressed as the Vegeta clan from the Dragon Ball series. Pete has some unusual ideas, but Peg always stands by his side. PJ and Pistol appear to be happy and welcoming to anyone walking by their home. Though Pete has remained a villain for centuries, he has become softer thanks to his loving wife and children.
15 Bad Versus The Forces Of Good
Star vs. the Forces of Evil first debuted on Disney Channel, switched to Disney XD, and will soon be heading back to its original home for Season 4. When we first meet Star Butterfly, she is a bubbly young princess with overprotective parents. Queen Butterfly is the most stern of the royal rulers of Mewni.
Queen Butterfly may appear to be a stern ruler, but she has been through her fair share of battles. When she was younger, she fought the evil Septarian, Toffee. Unfortunately, he came back to wreak havoc on the people of Mewni once again. He also takes his hijinks to Earth, where Star Butterfly currently resides. Since he was unable to defeat her mother, he goes after her daughter instead.
With the power of the royal magic wand, Star Butterfly defeats Toffee for good. Kabuki-Akuma twists the story of Star Butterfly and Toffee around. Instead of Queen Butterfly defeating the Septarian, they fell in love and got married. Star Butterfly was born from their union, but their daughter has a different appearance from the Disney series. Star Butterfly has dark gray skin, and her horns are slightly larger. She now has two fangs and green, reptilian eyes. She loves her father Toffee more than anything.
14 Ohana Still Means Family
Disney’s Lilo and Stitch originally debuted as an animated feature-film in 2002. Sequels to the film were released along with a cartoon series. Fans loved the adorable antics of the devious alien Stitch. He spent his entire existence as a “failed experiment.” Once Stitch met Lilo, they learned about the meaning of family bonds together. His creators may not have wanted Stitch, but he found his home with the Pelekai family. Unfortunately, their family was under the threat of being broke up by the government and aliens sent to recover Stitch. They had to fight to be together.
Captain Gantu worked with the United Galactic Federation to capture Experiment 626, who is more commonly known as Stitch. After failing, Gantu was given a new task” capture the remaining 625 experimental creatures. Over time, he realizes he may need some help.
Erin Primette has reimagined the tough Captain as a father figure. He’s flying in the clouds with Stitch on his shoulder and Lilo hugging his left arm. Gantu has a smile on his face. He may not fulfill his mission and capture all 625 experimental creatures, but he’s found a loving family on Earth. Gantu is determined to protect them at any cost.
13 A New Magic-Using Descendant
Most Disney fans are aware of the original story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The Dwarves lived long lives before the Princess fell asleep in their cottage. The 7D initially aired in the Disney Junior morning block of the Disney Channel. It tells the story of the Dwarven residents in the kingdom of Jollywood, which is ruled by Queen Delightful. The citizens of Jollywood happy live and work together.
Evil villains threaten to take over Jollywood. Hildy Gloom is a witch married to a warlock named Grim. They’re deeply in love but want nothing more than to take over the kingdom. Grim isn’t as serious about taking over the kingdom. He’s a happy-go-lucky magic user who wants to make his loving wife happy. Most of their attempts to take over Jollywood are unsuccessful.
Sally-chan has given the Gloom family new worries. They’ve put aside their desire to take over Hollywood to take care of their newborn child.
Hilde is worried that their child won’t like her. Grim puts her fears at ease by telling her that everyone adores her. Now that they have a beautiful newborn to care for, they will spend less time plotting to take over the kingdom. They may also decide to teach their baby their evil ways when it’s old enough to cast spells.
12 Babies Make Him More Miserable
Wander Over Yonder originally debuted on the Disney Channel before moving to Disney XD. It only lasted for two short seasons before being canceled to the disappointment of fans. Wander Over Yonder told the story of a young adventurer named Wander. He traveled all over the galaxy helping other aliens have fun. His efforts are constantly being threatened by Lord Hater and his army of Watchdogs.
Wander is a positive and friendly alien. His optimism is friendly, and others often feel inspired to become happy, as well. His nemesis, Lord Hater, is the complete opposite. He is the ruler of the Hater Empire and wants nothing but to make others miserable. Lord Hater wants to bring his negativity all over the galaxy. Wander unwittingly stops Lord Hater’s plans at the end of every episode.
In this artwork by Pachikun, Lord Hater has gotten his revenge on Wander by turning him into a baby. Baby Wander is crying because he’s being held upside down. The villain isn’t sure how to take care of a baby and only screams louder. Lord Hater has realized that his plan to turn Wander into an infant may not have been the best idea. Lord Hater will have to care for baby Wonder until the spell is reversed.
11 He’s Finding Out What Being A Father Is All About
Sofia the First original debuted on the Disney Channel as a film in 2012. Sofia and her mother, Miranda, are villagers. King Roland and Miranda fall in love. Due to their marriage, Sofia becomes a royal princess and the first in their kingdom named Sofia. King Roland gives Sofia a special amulet that allows her to speak to animals. The amulet also makes Disney Princesses appear when she’s in trouble or needs to be taught a valuable lesson.
The royal sorcerer, Cedric, is the main villain of the series. He tries to keep stealing the amulet but usually fails horribly by the end of the episode. Though he is evil, he treats Sofia with kindness, going so far as to teach her magic. They become friends, but Cedric still aspires to become King of Enchancia.
Cawoli has drawn the evil sorcerer in a new role: Father. When Sofia became an adult, the two fell in love and were married. They had a daughter and a son together. Cedric is tightly holding his precious daughter while Sofia chases after their infant son. Cedric may feel tempted to steal Sofia’s amulet, but for now, he’s happy playing the role of husband and father.
10 When Disney Villains Work Together
In Hercules and in Greek mythology, The Gods of Olympus watch over the people of Earth. Hades is the Greek God of the Underworld. He wants nothing more than to defeat the Gods and take Mount Olympus for himself. After the Fates warned Hades that Zeus’ son would stop him, Hades works hard to take him down. Hades goes so far as to take the spirit of Hercules’ love interest, Megara, captive. Hercules defeats Hades and recovers Megara.
Maleficent was also a Disney villain in Sleeping Beauty. She’s offended because she wasn’t invited to welcome the birth of Princess Aurora. Her gift is a curse. The young princess will touch her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall asleep until her true love awakens her. Prince Phillip manages to save her and defeat the dragon form of Maleficent.
Hades and Maleficent may have been defeated in animated films, but they live on through cartoon shows and the live-action movie, The Descendants.
Anita-Garbo has brought both villains together in this fanart. Hades and Maleficent no longer feel welcomed above ground. If they do visit the surface, they may be banished to the Isle of the Lost. They have chosen to live in the Underworld with their young daughter. It may be darker underground, but they can live their days without fear.
9 Equally Fair Maidens
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was originally released as an animated film in 1937. It told the story of Snow White, a beautiful princess who lived with her stepmother, Queen Grimhilde. The Queen was a jealous woman who often worried that her daughter would become “the fairest of all.” She demands her Huntsman to take Snow White far into the woods and get rid of her for good. He doesn’t have the heart to hurt Snow White. She soon finds a new home among the forest animals and seven Dwarves. They quickly grow to love her.
Queen Grimhilde could have had the possibility of a better life with Snow White. If the Queen wasn’t so selfish, she could have treated Snow White better. Maritza Lugo has reimagined the Queen as a happier woman. She’s brushing Snow White’s hair in front of the Magic Mirror. The mask behind the mirror is even delighted at the scene. The Queen is no longer angry at him for giving her the answer she didn’t want to hear.
Snow White and Queen Grimhilde could have turned to each other in their time of grief after losing the King. Instead, Queen Grimhilde became bitter and angry. In another lifetime, they would be a happy family instead of enemies.
8 Snakey Back Rides
The Aladdin movie didn’t give viewers much insight into the series’ main characters. The animated series would later expand on the character’s pasts and futures. Aladdin was a poor orphan who grew up on the streets of Agrabah. He stole from street stalls but had a heart of gold.
Meanwhile, Princess Jasmine is confined to the walls of the palace until she escapes years later. She lost her mother, and her father was too busy ruling the kingdom instead of playing with her. The Royal Vizier, Jafar, also helped control the actions of the Sultan. He used his snake-headed staff to command the Sultan to do his bidding.
Lilminette has reimagined the Jafar as a father figure to young Jasmine. While the Sultan is working to make Agrabah a better place, Jafar is making sure the future Queen is happy. She doesn’t have any other human friends, besides from her stuffed tiger toy. Jafar appears to be worried about Jasmine using him like a horse but is playing along for now. In an alternate future, Jafar would have been much happier as the royal babysitter. Over time, he would have enjoyed spending quality time with the Sultan and the Princess instead of plotting to take over the kingdom.
7 Anything Is Possible
Kim Possible is an intelligent high-school student and athletic cheerleader. At night, she turns into a hero and fights to save her city from the villain, Dr. Drakken. Crime fighting can be a difficult profession. Kim has to face off against his inventions and his army of guards. One of Kim’s most lethal threats is Shego, a slightly older woman working for the doctor. Shego is a talented warrior who gives Kim a challenge.
Kim and Shego were enemies until the final season. Shego grew tired of her life as an evil villain. She decided to help out Kim Possible instead of fighting her. At the last minute, Shego and her boss help Kim save the Earth from an alien attack. Shego is no longer regarded as a villain but as a hero. Though Shego would likely never admit it, the moment helped bridge a friendship between them.
HazuraSinner has created artwork of what happened to Shego years after she reformed her evil ways.
Shego has put her fighting clothing away and traded them for more play clothes. Her daughter looks up at her mother with a bright smile on her face. Shego’s daughter may not know about her former evil ways. She’s just happy to have her mother at her side.
6 She Can’t Wait Until He’s Gone
The Lion King focused on the story of Simba. As a cub, he watches as his father was taken under by a stampede of wildebeests. As Simba grew older, he learned that his Uncle Scar was responsible for the attack. Scar tried to blame the hyenas instead of taking responsibility for the horrible tragedy. Simba angrily pushed the villain into a group of angry hyenas. Scar survived the attack and was forced into the Outlands. It was in the Outlands where he met his future love interest, Zira.
Jayie-The-Hufflepuff has decided to give Scar a different future. Instead of becoming interested in Zira, Scar turns his sight towards Nala. After saving her from an attack from rabid hyenas, she finds herself in debt to the evil lion. He demands that she becomes his queen. She agrees, even though she had long fallen for Simba when they were cubs.
Scar isn’t interested in Nala’s happiness. She has given him five healthy children. Scar is determined to overthrow King Simba and become king of the Pride Lands. We’re glad that this is only a creative take on The Lion King, and Nala gets her happy ending with Simba. Scar’s fate would later be played out in the sequel, The Lion King II.
5 She Turned Her Evil Ways Around
The Little Mermaid tells the story of a curious teenage mermaid named Ariel. She wants to know more about the surface. Her father, King Triton, wants to keep her safely underwater. He doesn’t realize that keeping Ariel trapped causes her more harm than good. Ariel works with the evil villain Ursula to take her journeys on-land.
Ursula doesn’t intend on helping Ariel without getting something in return. She takes Ariel’s voice in exchange for human legs and lungs. Ursula then uses Ariel’s voice to marry Prince Eric. Ursula’s evil plans would soon work against her. Both humans and mermaids work together to take her down.
After the Little Mermaid ended, Ursula disappeared until The Descendants II. We learn that she had a daughter named Uma on the Isle of the Lost. After her defeat by humans and mermaids, Ursula decided to turn her life around. She learned her lesson the hard way and decided to become a kinder sea creature.
Madmoiselleclau has reimagined Ursula as a caring mother instead of an evil witch. Ariel is helping Ursula take care of a mermaid baby. Ursula and Ariel are now friends instead of enemies. It’s the happiest ending for both heroine and villainess.
4 Her Spell Was Poorly Planned
DuckTales was originally a cartoon series that aired in the early 1990s. The show aired years later on The Disney Channel. It recently rebooted on Disney XD in 2017 with many of the same characters. The show stars Scrooge McDuck, the richest duck in the world. He’s often seen swimming in his giant bank vault filled with gold coins. Since Scrooge is so wealthy, many evil villains try to steal his riches.
Magica De Spell is an evil sorceress who also has an interest in being wealthy. She wants Scrooge’s Number One Dime. With that Dime, she will create an amulet that will give her the Midas Touch. Scrooge always keeps the Dime close to him, which makes it difficult to steal the valuable coin.
Magica has many spells, which includes manipulating the age of ducks, as drawn by Katiramoon.
She has turned Scrooge and Donald into children and his nephews into eggs. Magica is now forced to care for the eggs and the two ducklings. The look on her face shows that she’s not so sure that her spell was such a good idea. Unless she reverses the spell, Magica has become a parent to five young children.
3 A Bond Created At Birth
The Sleeping Beauty’s top villain, Maleficent, has made a lasting impression on Disney fans. She is an evil fairy who can cast powerful spells, including shapeshifting into a dragon. Maleficent is also featured in the live-action Disney film, The Descendants. Her evil daughter, Mal, changes her ways to help others instead of harming them.
The live-action Maleficent film also gives viewers more insight into her character. She may not have always been evil. According to the live-action movie, she was once a beautiful fairy living in the Moors. She fell in love with a human Prince. He betrayed her, which caused her heart, and the Moors, to turn evil. The prince would eventually move on and start a family. His queen gave birth to the future sleeping beauty, Princess Aurora.
In the original animated film, Maleficent first met Princess Aurora when she was a baby. The evil fairy was upset she wasn’t invited to the birthday celebration. They would end up having a close relationship, despite their good and evil paths.
Hatterina has reimagined Maleficent into a mother figure. Aurora visits the once evil fairy in the woods. Together, they craft flower crowns and play in the Moors. Maleficent may not have had her happy ending with her prince, but is determined to make sure his daughter, Aurora, lives well.
2 A Family Of Butterflies
Star Butterfly is the fun-loving Princess of Mewni. Her parents send her to Earth to be around others her age and to learn how to use her magical abilities safely. At first, Star Butterfly is reckless and irresponsible with her magic. After defeating the evil villain Toffee, she decides to take her role as Princess more serious.
During Star Butterfly’s studies, she meets Tom Lucitor, a Demon Prince. They were former flames who reunited after years apart. She didn’t like how he was so hot-headed and picked fights with her friends, especially her closest friend, Marco. Tom was persistent in dating again. Once Star sees Tom try to change his evil ways and be nicer, she decides she’s ready to give him another chance.
Bichiiart has reimagined Tom into a King and father. Star Butterfly and Tom Lucitor have turned their teenage romance into marriage. Their royal portrait shows star holding an intact Royal Magic Wand, while Tom holds a wand with a crescent moon accent. They will one day pass these powerful weapons to their daughter, Princess Andromeda. Instead of wearing a headband with horns, their daughter is growing them from her head like her father. She has unique star shapes on her cheeks to match her mother.
Both Star and Tom have been through several hardships as teenagers to ensure their daughter grows up in a safe kingdom.
1 Mother Knows Best
Disney’s Tangled put a new spin on the classic fairy tale. A selfish woman named Gothel has kidnapped a young Princess and trapped her inside of a tall tower. The Princess, Rapunzel, has beautiful, long golden hair with magical abilities. Mother Gothel uses Rapunzel’s hair to keep her youthful appearance. Rapunzel pretends she doesn’t mind her mother’s interest in her hair over her daughter. When she turns 18, Rapunzel would later escape that tower. With the help of a stranger named Flynn Rider, Rapunzel reunites with her birth parents, the King and Queen.
Though Mother Gothel is a terrible villain for taking a baby and using her magical hair to keep her youthful appearance, she raised Rapunzel alone. Rapunzel doesn’t know anyone else except for this evil woman.
Their relationship is built on lies, but Rapunzel loves Gothel as if she is her birth mother.
Tottiewoodstock has reimagined Mother Gothel as a caring mother. She forgot that she had kidnapped this child. Both daughter and mother are staring into each other’s eyes. They have an unbreakable bond, even though they aren’t related by blood.
Though Mother Gothel doesn’t survive at the end of Tangled, if she was given another opportunity, she may have spent more time cherishing Rapunzel.
