Synopsis

A follow-up to the 1956 episode "Our Unsung Villains", this updated version was used to showcase Madame Medusa, the newest villainess in the then upcoming animated film, The Rescuers. Hans Conried reprises his role as the Magic Mirror from "Our Unsung Villains" and other television specials to host the program. The Magic Mirror explains the importance of villains and introduces clips of various Disney villains while also providing biased, yet humorous, commentary. Most of the villains received a good-sized clip from their respective films, although some were featured in very brief 30-second segments. One sidenote is that the music featured in Madame Medusa's segment was not used in The Rescuers.

"Disney's Greatest Villains" would be shown again in reruns, the last time being on the Vault Disney block of programming on the Disney Channel. In 1983, portions of "Disney's Greatest Villains" were incorporated into the 90-minute special "A Disney Halloween".

gollark: If you keep lying to people, they will probably stop believing you at some point.
gollark: Um, it does mean that? Or at least freedom from some sets of consequences. If I tell you you're free to eat some chocolate or something, then punish you for it when you do, I think this is stretching "freedom" somewhat.
gollark: As in, the Indian one is here and apparently a problem.
gollark: And the UK. What joy.
gollark: I fear that having official classes on it would end up dragging all the horrible school baggage along, like having *exams* on it, and going for stuff which is easy to test over good, and such.
