Villains in art always like more. It seems to be sympathizing for nothing, but there are some magnetic attractiveness, charisma and a kind of charm. The classic literature is full of similar examples: Lucifer from "Lost Paradise" John Milton, Shakespeare Falstaff, Lermontov Devil, the devilish retinue from "Master and Margarita", in the end. Such bad guys like girls and are samples to imitate teenagers looking for themselves. They are Buntari, they challenge society, not boring with them. Of course, good always wins, but the evil at the same time collects more fans. Run to bad - the paradox of human nature. But if adult people are a jack on the charm of vice, then what to talk about children. After all, some fall in love with the most expressive and bright characters, not paying attention to the positive they are or negative.
Mikhail Vrubel "Demon Sitting" (1890)
Walt Disney Studio For almost a hundred years is the main supplier of selected and attractive evil for children and adolescents. Disney antagonists are bright and memorable characters who are afraid and love at the same time, whether the ominous Jafar from the "Alladina", the grotesque Ursula from the "Mermaid" or the eccentric Krulela de Ville from "101 Dalmatic". In opposition to monotonous and schematic positive heroes of the golden disney, the villains look so realistic that it is difficult not to admire how directors and animators managed to breathe life into an ordinary set of drawings. And all because every Disney antagonist has a real prototype, sometimes no less charismatic.
Secret charm of vice
Evil Queen ("Snow White and Seven Dwarfs", 1937) - Marlene Dietrich
The evil queen is the first and reference disney villain. It embodies the absolute evil - cold, detached and insane at the same time. The queen is not similar to late more grotesque Disney villains: not in vain Adolf Hitler admired in this way. By the way, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was his favorite animation film. It is difficult to deny that in the image of the evil queen, the features of cold-blooded and limitless in their cruelty of Nazism are shown.
Interesting is the fact that Animator Art Babbit, who is responsible for creating an image of an evil queen, was inspired by Hollywood divas, exploiting Vamp fashionable in the 1930s. The most famous Femme Fatale Hollywood was Marlene Dietrich - a cold German appearance, the favorite of Goebbels. The Minister of Folk Enlightenment and Propaganda of Germany in 1936 invited Dietrich complete freedom of creativity and 200,000 Reichsmarocks for each film. But she refused and left in the USA. In the future, Marlene Dietrich became an icon of Hollywood and the subject of adoration of men - under her spells have fallen such legendary personalities as Erich Maria Remark, Jean Gabben and Ernest Hemingway. All these novels ended unsuccessfully - Dietrich, like an evil queen, could have been coldly broke any heart.
Chernobog ("Fantasy", 1940) - Bela Lugoshi
"Fantasy" is one of the most bold experiments of Walt Disney. There is no general plot in the film: it consists of nine episodes, each of which represents an abstract animation sketch on any classic musical work. In the episode "Night on Bald Mount" on the basis of the model of Modest Musozhsky, the most terrible of all Disney monsters appears - Chernobog. To the Slavic Divine, this character has no relationship: the name was used apparently for exotic. Chernobogo - a winged demon of huge sizes, which calls on the bald mountain of the Deads with cemeteries. In terms of wise, no other Disney villain will compare with it. Chernobogo is a real embodiment of fear.
The famous actor of the horror films Bela Lugoshi, famous for the collapse of the Count Dracula in the Hollywood Horror of 1931, became the prototype. Animators, working on the image of the black manner, used the famous gesticulation of white meadow, and the wings of the night demon are like a black raincoat of the Dracula. The actor posted them. At that time it was difficult to imagine a more appropriate prototype for a black bog than Bela Lugoshi. Playing in Dracula, he automatically became a horror icon. But the cinema of the Infernal villain, in turn, played a sorry joke from Lugoshi. Alas, the actor was offered to be filmed only in horror films: until the end of the life he had to become a crazy scientist, then Monster Frankenstein, then another vampire. By the way, even after the death of Bela Lugoshi could not get rid of an obsessive role - he was buried in the costume of Dracula.
Krullla de Ville ("101 Dalmatian", 1961) - Tallula Bankhead
Krulle de Ville - the villain with a decadence challenge. This dry, a stinging woman with a constant mouthpiece in his hand and in eccentric outfits will go to all for the sake of gorgeous fur, even for the murder of hundreds of Dalmatian puppies. Crewlla - the hostage of fashion with a hypertrophied sense of beautiful. She is one of the first comic Disney antagonists, a peculiar parody of the style icon.
The american theater actress Tallula Bankhead, which was distinguished by special eccentricity, hoarse voice and a specific sense of humor became the prototype of Krulyla. For Americans, she, as for us - Faina Ranevskaya. Tallula Bankhead did not so often shone into the movies in the lead roles, but decorated the screen with his comic kameo and had a huge success on Broadway. After it, there are many witty quotes, which are produced by individual books, as in the case of the statements of Faina Ranevskaya. The most famous of them: "I tried different ways of sex. The usual pose causes me claustrophobic, and from the rest she has neck, "" I will come to you in the room at five pm. If I will be late, start without me, "Cocaine does not cause drug addiction. I know what I'm talking about: I smell it for many years. " It is not surprising that with this witty lady forever with a cigarette in his hand and wrote off the image of the eccentric cruel de vil.
Professor Ratigan ("Great Mouse Detective", 1986) - Vincent Price
1980s - the time of the crisis of the Disney Studio. Few people remember the animated films of this period: "Lis and Dog", "Black Boiler", "Oliver and Company". Only in 1989 the situation will change dramatically with the release of "Mermaid". In the future, the studio will release a number of films, without which it is impossible to submit the image "Disney" - "Aladdin", "King Lion", "Beauty and the Beast" and others. But in 1986, the "Great Mouse Detective" appeared - interpretation of stories about Sherlock Holmes with mice and rats in Victorian costumes. In a wide range of film, the film did not come out - the creators were limited to the premiere on television. Despite this, the "Great Mouse Detective" is an excellent sample of Disney style. The film also has an expressive character, which firmly entered the company of the best Disney villains. This is Professor Ratigan - a huge rat with London dandy manners and imperial ambitions.
The creators of Professor Ratigan were inspired by the images of the characters created on the screen by the cult actor Vincent Price. His gothic scoundrels from such well-known horror films as the "Mask of Red Death", the "terrifying doctor Filebs", "House of wax figures", despite their terrible crimes, were always incredibly charming. By 42 years, Vincent Price, being a famous dramatic actor, reheated his career, carried away by horror films. And until the end of the life, he played sinister heroes with Shakespeare's raid. Over time, Vincent Pais has already difficult to perceive separately from his charismatic cinema. And in life, he did not stop creating around him a gothic atmosphere. By the way, the great actor not only served as a prototype of Professor Ratigan, but also voiced him.
Ursula ("Mermaid", 1989) - Divine
As mentioned above, the "Mermaid" brought "Disney" from the creative crisis, revived accustomed interest in animation around the world and marked the new ERU of the studio. In the film, everything came together: high-quality animation, musical accompaniment, excellent scenario and carefully thoughtful characters. If earlier the main heroines of Disney were simply beautiful and virtuous, but boring and schematically, compared to the villains, then a new type of positive female character appeared in the "mermaid", not always inferior to antagonist in brightness. Mermaid Ariel, and then Ball from "Beauty and Monsters", Jasmine from Aladdin, Esmeralda from Notre-Dama and others appear to the audience alive and modern girls, with whose rights also need to be considered. Together with the villains, they now create full-fledged on-screen duets. So Ariel is not inferior to the Ash-like sea witch Ursula - one of the most recognizable evil heroes created at Disney studios.
Animator Ruben Aquino, responsible for the creation of Ursula, was inspired by the scenicly travesty actor Divine. This is an unprecedented case when Disney Animators took the formations of such marginal characters, widely known in narrow circles. Under the pseudonym "Divine" hid the actor Harris Glen Milsted, famous for the performer of almost all the main women's roles in the films of the first provocateur of American Cinema John Waters. These films with their immorality and black humor still can shock the public in the same way as in the 1970s. In the center of this disgrace was Divine, which for the sake of art could do anything, "so, in the final stage of the legendary film" Pink Flamingo ", implacing one-story chamber america, the actor ate real dog excrement. Divine did not become in 1988, and the image of shocking and union Ursula can be called the last loud success of an ambiguous actor.
Gaston ("Beauty and Monster", 1991) - Jean Mare
"Beauty and the Beast" is the first animated film in history, which received Oscar, as the best film of the year. After the "Mermaid", the studio was able to jump above the head and create an even more successful project. Interestingly, in "Beauty and the Beast", the villain and the monster are changing in places - the dark side represents the usual rural playboy Gaston, and not an infernal beast from an abandoned castle, as it might seem at first glance.
In 1946, the French writer, the artist and director Jean Cocketon put his version of the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". Many elements of this aesthetic film also took advantage of Disney artists: in particular, as the basis of the image of the monsters, they took the half-dollar-receiving age, as He came up with Jean Cocteau. In the film and antagonist, and the monster performed Jean Mare. In the future, he played a lot in the costume adventurous ribbons and swords. His courageous image of a strong guy with an expressive chin is reflected in Disney Gaston.
Jafar (Aladdin, 1992) - Conrad Faidt
Aladdin is an animated film released at the peak of the Disney Renaissance and inspired by the early Hollywood rethinking of the "Thousand and One Night" fairy tales, starting with the Baghdad Thief and ending with the Golden Travel of Syndbad. In Aladdin, all the stereotypes of oriental fairy tales are collected: sands, oriental bazaars, luxury palaces, treasure caves and carpets-aircraft. All this is seasoned by the postmodern humor from a chatty genie and the classic love line of the princess and a beggar. The image of a negative character in Aladdin also does not prevent: Jafar - the sinister adviser to infantile sultan, the black magic industries and dreams of capturing the throne.
Jafar is borrowed from the British fantasy of 1940 "Baghdad Thief". In this film, the antagonist also spoke Vizier-sorcerer named Jafar. He played German actor Konrad Fadt, famous for roles in several key films for early German movies. He brought widespread fame in the film Robert wine "Cabinet Dr. Caligari" (1920), where he played Somnamboul Cesare, killing people by order of a crazy doctor. In the future, Faidt moved to Hollywood, where Guinplane was played in the famous film release of Viktor Hugo's novel "A man who laughs." The German actor was regularly offered the roles of monsters, as no one besides him could hardly play hatred eyes, pain and malice. In the Baghdad Thieves, he created a tragic and sinister image that became a sample of an image of an oriental villain. It is not surprising that in the postmodern "Aladdin" it was the image of Faidt when creating Jafar.
Relatively recently, Disney Studio decided to change its attitude to negative characters. The last classic antagonist was Dr. Fasille from the Princess and Frogs of 2009. Evil in new Disney hits, such as "brave heart" and "Cold Heart", is not highlighted by special charisma, as before. It lies in the most ordinary people. In general, as in life. So you will not passionate. It is probably correct - the children who will grow already on these films will not be able to undergo the charm of evil. Although the old good Disney scoundrels are still expensive.

Notes
Excerpt characterizing Disney villains
Plato Karatayev knew nothing by heart, except for his prayer. When he spoke his speech, he, starting them, seemed to not know what he would grab them.When Pierre, sometimes struck by his speech, asked to repeat said, Plato could not remember what he said a minute ago, - just as he could not say with the words to tell his favorite song. There was: "Rim, Berezanka and nausea me," but in words did not make any sense. He did not understand and could not understand the meaning of the words separately taken from speech. Every word of him and every action was a manifestation of an unknown activity, which was his life. But his life, as he himself looked at her, did not make sense as a separate life. She had meaning only as a particle of a whole, which he constantly felt. His words and actions were poured out of it as evenly, it is necessary and directly like the smell separated from the flower. He could not understand neither the price nor the meanings of a separate action or a word.
Having received news from Nicholas that her brother is located with Rostov, in Yaroslavl, Princess Marya, despite the discharge of aunt, immediately gathered to go, and not only one, but with a nephew. It is difficult, it is not difficult, perhaps or impossible it was, she did not ask and did not want to know: her duty was not only to be less, maybe a dying brother, but also to do everything possible in order to bring him a son, and she rose go. If Prince Andrei himself did not notify her, then Princess Marry explained from or the fact that he was too weak to write, or what he believed for her and for her son this long move was too difficult and dangerous.
In a few days, Princess Marya gathered on the road. The crews of it consisted of a huge princely carriage, in which she came to Voronezh, Bricks and Wagons. With her, M Lle Bourienne rushed, Nichuccushka with Gutener, the old nanny, three girls, Tikhon, Young Lackey and Gaiduk, whom the aunt let go with her.
It was impossible to ride the ordinary way to Moscow and therefore, and therefore the Okol Path, which was supposed to make a princess Marya: On Lipetsk, Ryazan, Vladimir, Shuya, was very long, by lack of postal horses everywhere, is very difficult and about Ryazan, where, how, They spoke, the French showed, even dangerous.
During this difficult journey, M Lle Bourienne, the desal and servants of the Princess Mary were surprised by her hardness of the Spirit and activities. She later went to bed, before everyone got up, and no difficulties could stop her. Thanks to its activities and energy that excited her satellites, by the end of the second week they drove to Yaroslavl.
Recently, its stay in Voronezh Prinja Marya experienced the best happiness in his life. Her love to Rostov no longer tormented, did not worry her. This love filled her whole soul, it became inseparable part of herself, and she did not fight more against her. Recently, Princess Marry was convinced - although she never clear words definitely did not tell himself, "she was convinced that she was loved and loved. In this she was convinced of his last date with Nikolai, when he came to declare that her brother was with Rostov. Nikolai did not hint in any word on the fact that now (in the case of the recovery of Prince Andrei) the former relations between him and Natasha could resume, but Princess Mary saw on his face that he knew and thought it. And, despite his relationship to her - cautious, gentle and love - not only did not change, but he seemed to be rejoiced that now kinship between him and Prince Marya allowed him to be free to express her friendship her friendship, as he sometimes thought Princess Marya. Princess Mary knew that she loved in the first and last time in his life, and felt she was loved, and was happy, calm in this respect.
But this happiness of one side of the spiritual not only did not prevent her in the whole of the power to feel the mountain about his brother, but, on the contrary, this peace of mind in one respect gave her a great opportunity to surrender to his feeling for his brother. The feeling it was so much in the first minute of departure from Voronezh that those who visited her were sure, looking at her exhausted, desperate person, that she would certainly sick dear; But it was precisely difficulties and concerns of the journey, for which the princess of Marya took up with such activities, saved her at the time of her grief and gave her strength.
As always, it happens while traveling, Princess Marya thought only about one journey, forgetting that it was his goal. But, approaching to Yaroslavl, when it was revealed again, what could predominant to her, and no longer after many days, and now in the evening, the excitement of the princess Marya reached the extreme limits.
When the forward Guiduk is sent to learn in Yaroslavl, where Rostov is standing and in what position is the prince Andrei, he met a large wagon of the carriage, he was horrified, seeing the terribly pale face Princess, which leaned him out of the window.
- I learned everything, your clay: Rostov stands on the square, in the house of the merchant Bronnikov. Nearby, over the most over the Volga, - said Gaiduk.
Princess Marya frightenedly looked in question on his face, not understanding what he told her without understanding why he did not answer the main question: what's the brother? M Lle Bourienne made this question for Princess Mari.
- What is the prince? She asked.
- Their shiny with them in the same house is worth.
"It became alive," he thought Princess and quietly asked: what is he?
- People affected everything in the same position.
What did "all in the same position" mean, the princess did not ask and glimpse only, imperceptibly looking at the seven-year-old Nikiushka, who was sitting in front of her and joyed to the city, lowered his head and did not raise it until heavily coach, rummach, shaking and Stretching, did not stop somewhere. Thought up the footnings.
The doors opened. On the left was water - the river is large, the right was the porch; On the porch there were people, servants and some kind of ruddy, with a big black oblique, a girl who unpleasantly smiled preferably, as shown by the princess Marya (it was Sonya). Princess I dressed the stairs, my smiling girl was pretended: - Here, here! - And the princess found himself in the front of the old woman with the eastern type of the face, which with a touched expression quickly went to meet her. It was a countess. She hugged the princess Marree and began to kiss her.
- MON ENFANT! She said, - Je Vous Aime et vous Connais Depuis Longtemps. [My child! I love you and I know how long.]
Despite all his excitement, Princess Marya realized that it was a countess and that it was necessary to say something to her. She, herself not knowing how, said some tricky French words, in the same tone, in which those who were told she, and asked: what is he?
- The doctor says that there is no danger, "said the Countess, but at the time she said it, she raised her eyes up with a sigh, and in this gesture there was an expression contrary to her words.
- Where is he? Can I see it, you can? - asked Princess.
- Now, Princess, now, my friend. Is this his son? She said, referring to Nichochka, who was entered with the desoll. - We are all placed, the house is big. Oh, what an adorable boy!
Countess introduced the princess to the living room. Sonya talked to M Lle Bourienne. Countess caressed the boy. The old Graf entered the room, welcoming the princess. The old Graph was extremely changed since he was last seen Princess. Then he was a brisk, cheerful, self-confident old man, now he seemed a pitiful, lost man. He, speaking with prince, indifferedly looked around, as if asking everyone, whether he did that he was needed. After the ruin of Moscow and his estate, knocked out of the usual rut, he, apparently, lost his mind and felt that he had no place in life.
Despite the excitement in which she was, despite one desire to see his brother and at the annoyance for the fact that at this moment, when she wanted one thing - to see him, - her nephews occupied and pretended to preferably, Princess noticed all that It was done around her, and felt the need for a while submitting to this new order in which she entered. She knew that all this was necessary, and she was difficult for her, but she did not annoy them.
"This is my niece," said Count, representing Sonya, "you don't know her, princess?"
Princess turned to her and trying to slightly rising a hostile feeling toward this girl, kissed her. But she became hard because the mood of all surrounding was so far from what was in her soul.
