It doesn't matter because of the huge boulder weighing Sharptooth down. It's like execution by drowning, where the victim gets a weight tethered to its person to ensure they'll sink to the bottom of the body of water they're thrown into.
Sharptooth could have been even scarier- the novelization of The Land Before Time uses cut content from the film that portrays him as basically a dinosaur serial killer, killing not just cause he’s hungry, but because he enjoys it. When Littlefoot wounds his eye with the thorn branches, Sharptooth takes this and being rammed by Cera in the cave as an affront to his pride, hence why he’s so focused on killing the kids despite them not being much of a meal. At the end, he sniffs out the entrance to the Great Valley and fantasizes about slaughtering the dinosaurs within before being lured out by Ducky and caught in the kids’ trap. And all of this still without him talking.
Not sure that would have ended too well for him. He barely got away from his fight with littlefoot's mom. An entire valley of sauropods and ceratopsians wouldn't have resulted in the victorious bloodbath he was hoping for her.
@@UltraPoseidon true but Littlefoot’s Mom did it cos she was just that: a mom protecting her baby, no way ALL of them would be brave enough to do the same.
Animal serial killers are a real thing. We call them 'rogue' usually. I think Gustave the Nile crocodile killed over three hundred people with no evidence of a prey motive. There was also Ole Groaner, a grizzly, Osama, the elephant and the Tsavo lions, off the top of my head. So that part isn't too hard to believe. Also, most of those had old bullet wounds or scars, which sort of indicates it's a revenge behavior, also fitting with Sharptooth's story.
Let’s not forget that Sharptooth was so scary, that during production of the movie, Don Bluth had to cut out or rearrange some scenes because Steven Spielberg and George Lucas thought that most of his scenes were deemed too scary for the younger audiences.
I’ve noticed a trend with a lot of Bluth’s villains. A lot of them are very “behind the scenes” types, rarely intervening with the heroes unless it’s absolutely necessary, like for a fight or confrontation. I really like this, and Bluth does it very well, contrary to someone like Disney where most of their types that are like that don’t do anything until the climax, and just monologue in their spare time. Bluth shook this up in ways. Examples include with the Great Owl, as said. He doesn’t just bark orders at his minions constantly, we also see little qualities in him, like cooking and music. While Drake doesn’t really try hard to stop Hubie from coming home, he does take advantage of the time that Hubie isn’t there, constantly trying to get Marina to agree to marry him. Rasputin doesn’t just sit around doing aimless stuff in his lair. He uses the dark magic he has to his advantage from the safety of his hideout, using it to lure Anya to her almost demise. My point being, Bluth’s way of having antagonists in their lair or away from heroes most of the time is a good example on how to do it right.

Grundle's childlike personality really emphasizes how coddled he is by his mother, which imo helps emphasize HER villainy. Plus it helps him be distinct among the suitors. It's why Mr. Mole's much more passive nature works for me. Each suitor is unique enough to not overlap. Also no lie Troll in Central Park TERRIFIED me as a little kid and I never knew why my older sibling wanted to watch it so much.
While I’m not a fan of Thumbelina, but Berkeley Beetle is probably the funniest character of the film, mainly because of the entertaining performance from the late Gilbert Gottfried. Although not that much as Iago, but there are a few moments from him that i did get the laughs out of, especially his relationship with Grundel.
Yeah, his interactions with Grundel in that were pretty funny, especially once he realizes what a complete imbecile Grundel is and has to practically spell everything out for him as a result!
Jenner is one of the best villains in my childhood memories of films. He reminds me of the ruthless villainous Prince Malagant from First Knight because of the similar sword design with spikey edges along the edge of the evil sword.
I won't dispute that Rasputin has the best villain song, but Drake's "Don't Make Me Laugh" HA HA HA HA has been living rent free in my head for over 25 years.
How did FOX allow that? Then again, they did approve of Rasputin’s demise. Geez, I wish Titan A.E had done well so that Don and Gary could have made more movies with them.

I really like how much you focus on the good parts of even the villians near the bottom of the list. Too often reviewers and rankers really play up the bad parts of any media without giving credit to the good parts. If this is how you do all your rankings I'll be happily enjoying your back catalog of content!
The devil from all dogs is still the most haunting thing I've ever seen. The end where it's shadow is casted over the city as you see how massive it is. And the overall presentation just oozes evil
I believe, wholeheartedly, that Sharptooth was the inspiration for the Indominus Rex of Jurassic World. At least the novelization of The Land Before Time.
Sharptooth is the one Don Bluth villain I remember most. He was the scariest dinosaur I ever saw on film and he still is. Strong, intimidating, ferocious and frighteningly persistent, that’s what made me fear him when I was a kid.
39:45 But what's also worth noting is that Rasputin is a fictional version of the the very real Gregori Rasputin a self-proclaimed holy man who was responsible partly for the Romanov's fall from power and their death

This is very helpful though it can be Spoilers for someone who hasn't seen the video, removing alot of suspense needed to predict the next one, So put these under read more please.
Oh the irony of Dinosaurs... The Land Before Time was a film produced in a partnership between Steven Spielberg and Don Bluth and five years later, we come across another dinosaur film in Jurassic Park where Dinosaurs are done with live action eating people. No wonder why my sister is a fan of these movies.
Speaking of Thumbelina, the fairy prince ALSO falls for her because he likes her voice and thinks she is pretty. Not because of her personality, just her looks. He is nicer than the other guys but still likes Thumbelina for her beauty. He never said '' I will make your dream come true! '' or '' I should meet your mother. '' The fairy ask to marry her after a few hours. That's not romantic, it's weird 🤨Both characters don't know a lot about the other but wants to be married? I though love was fast in Disney movies but here it's even faster geez!
"Everything we're dreaming of will soon be hours. Anything that you desire, anything at all. Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall." He absolutely does offer to make her dreams come tre.
Why are you just plainly lying? The Prince sings with Thumbelina about *their* dreams coming true and about lifting her higher in life. You really out here spreading misinformation about a Don Bluth movie lol.

12:24 While in the original story. Miss field mouse and the mole were plotting to keep thumbalina away from the outside world. In don bluths she kinda has a crush on him but since mole wanted thumbalina instead you can see the disappointment on her face
It's a Tragic Don Bluth went with a bad movie instead of a great movie his last movie to date Titan A.E let's hope he can made one final Banger of a movie with his old style 2D Animation ❤😢
@@neilhannan5112 Well, you make a good point: Treasure Planet is an amazing movie. But I wouldn't watch anything if I had to compare everything to the best films I know. Like, why watch Treasure Planet when Castle in the Sky is so much better both as an adventure film and as a pirate film?
@@c0mpu73rguy Titan A.E is the most generic Sci-fi film you can think of. There's a video called (The Complete History of Titan A.E) explaining the issues of making the film.
Well this list was a blast, can’t wait to see the sequel movies and where you would place the Land before Time Villains..that and Carface for his actions in the sequel that dog took his level of villainy to a whole other level.
Reading the novelizations of Titan AE is really wicked as well, it gives so much more depth and back story to each of the alien races/characters. The Drej especially, they have a very sophisticated hierarchy.
Fun fact in the ending credits you'll see on the upper right that both Mr mole and Ms field mouse are getting married I'm surprised i didn't notice that 💀
Not gonna lie, the Sharptooth mildly traumatized me as a kid. It was only a few years ago where I could actually look at a picture of him without getting freaked out, and I’m in my early 30’s. This dude’s mere image scared me for decade's. I mean not enough to not enjoy the movie but still. Glad to see him make it to the top of your list.
But what about Berkley being voiced by Gilbert Godfrey? Or Rasputin having Christopher Loyd as a speaking voice AND Jim Cummings as a singing voice? Those are pretty close contenders, in my opinion.
Some the characters fall into secondary villain or sub-villain instead of the main villain driving the plot but Don and his writers could tell 5 15 minute sub plots that fit perfectly into the main plot of the movie show or video game
Fun fact: Mrs. Fieldmouse was originally meant to be voiced by Betty White. But Don Bluth felt her voice was lacking energy and recast her with Carol Channing (a friend of White). However, Bluth hadn’t told White about the recasting (oops!). When Channing phoned White and told her that she was voicing a field mouse in an animated film, White replied she did the same. Bluth was then met with an angry phone call from White’s agents, which led to Bluth writing an apology letter to White.
Ooh, saving the villains from the non Bluth Bluth sequels, too. I imagine the villains from An American Tail 3 would completely dominate that one for the very few who have actually seen it
@@gugurupurasudaikirai7620 that makes sense, dog was definitely jumping the shark a bit and considering the plot of Fievel Goes West that’s saying a lot
@@DwarfDaddyat least Cat R Waul had a sense of charisma to him (provided by John Cleese, no less), could actually pull off his act very convincingly, and was actually somewhat menacing, while Madame Mousey was very difficult to take seriously.
@@thomashuffman3237 oh definitely but still his plan was to head to new york, cause chaos to lure mice out west, befriend the mice to lull then into a false sense of security, only to corral them into a giant mouse trap and turn them into mouse burgers. Compared to the chihuahua who faked a monster just to make a lot of money it seems a bit too convoluted
@@Lil_Guys predators are a part of nature, same as tornadoes or hurricanes. Obviously a tornado isn't a villain because it's a part of nature, same goes to a predatory animal like a T Rex or a shark. A villain is someone who has the mentality of a human, even if it's in the body of an animal or vehicle that willing does bad things
@@Lil_Guys you could say a villian is 'evil' (doing things that are wrong or bad, etc. in other words a bad person) , while an antagonist is only opposed to the protagonists. In context of Sharptooth, if he was hunting down the characters because he just wanted to kill/hurt them (malicious intent or something) he'd be a villain, but if he's hunting down the characters because he has to eat or something (he's a carnivore, so that would be the case), hes an antagonist. I hope that makes sense?
Yes but than that would mean that the original comment we’re replying to is wrong because after the characters shot a thorn in Sharp tooth’s eye, all he could think about was revenge
I still sing don't make me laugh even to this day. I didn't know Gilbert Godfried voiced the beetle from Thumbelina, I only remember for his in Disney's Aladdin trilogy as the voice of my favorite Disney villain sidekick, Iago the parrot.
I always thought that until Goldie showed up, he seemed to keep the “the farm don’t love you” feelings as the strongest control he had. And I always thought that King Llort was actually a secret supporter to the Good Trolls. seriously, he hampers so many plans that the queen thought of that would have worked.
Tim Curry are simply wholesome whenever the role he play: if my favorite is Hexxus and his mythical song "Toxic Love" hearing Drake and "don't make me laugh" turn him into a vicious and shady creep. It's a tough choice about choosing between him and Ron Perlman to be my spiritual grandfather (for the moment Tim Curry won but his VCA and his age 77 aren't good news). Mrs Toad are pretty for a female frog but the fact she stomp Thumbelina at 3:35 show how stupid and pervert she is. Her son Grundel look so dumb. Joseph Korso and John Silvet are relatable or copycat: they're father figure although they're smuggler and bad guy and they redeem themselves at the end.
the fascinating thing about Jenner is that he represents the past of what the rats use to be, mere animals, his line "they've taken the animal out of you" was a clear indicator that while the other rats have evolved past their primal nature, as Nicodemus himself said "we know too much", Jenner by contrast still holds onto his which is ironic that for all the knowledge and sentience he gained from NIMHs experiments he could never allow himself to move forward only holding onto the old ways of "taking what you can WHEN you can" which as Justin said back to him "you've learned NOTHING"
39:45 I always loved the way Anastasia destroyed his reliquary and the demons killed him off the same way as Tiana did with Dr. Falicier from the princess and the 🐸. 41:06 also, this 🐈⬛ disguise 🥸 reminds me of the coachman in Pinocchio.
Wait just a moment....does that make Rasputin....A LICH?! Think about it: unkillable by conventional means, magical powers, a special object which if destroyed finally kills him..... IT MAKES SENSE!
I had never known all these movies were connected. The only movie I don’ remember seeing as a young child was A troll in central park. I have vague memories of Nimh, Thumbelina (I have a tiny speck of her Thumbelina song stuck burrowed deep in my head for some damn reason), remember that hughby had a flying penguin as a best friend who helped him off a ship of somekind, saw Land before time, American Tale, and rock-a-doodle many times,
Honestly and for me, since I was a child, Sharptooth has always terrified me, it was like Pennywise from IT and Scarface from The Animals of Farthing Wood! Trauma upon trauma!
The thing about Pinky is he’s based on a very specific music producer - namely, Colonel Tom Parker, manager of Elvis Presley. He’s known to be very controlling of Elvis’ career, and just like Pinky, saw Elvis as his cash cow. Also, another thing that’s true to life in the Rock-a-Doodle film is the fact the Colonel put Elvis in a lot of truly awful films with truly awful songs, most of which are generally considered to be some of the worst recordings he ever made. Of course, the reason why he did this to Elvis was because the films (initially) made a lot of money just because Elvis was in them. At one point, he made Elvis do three films per year, which meant that because of the resulting hectic production schedule, he didn’t have any time to do any live performances, so the only way for people to see him perform was by watching his crap films!
Shit! And I saw that Biopic for Elvis. But I never knew that’s who that Fox was based on! (I was real young when I saw that movie). And now that I see the translation between. It’s actually really interesting and really F’d up how that Happened! 😮 I think the Elvis Biopicture did a great job at really showing how Elvis was wronged for the majority of his career before his passing! So to see both these cartoon characters taking inspiration from them makes me say Wow.
Oh man, Land Before Time was a fave series of mine. I wasn't afraid of the Sharptooth - I was a sucker for meat eating dinos anyway. But I can't rewatch the first movie anymore because of the death of Littlefoot's mother; I lost my own mom years ago due to bad health and any sort of family loss tends to trigger me nowadays and i just break down and cry. Plus I admit, the song played during that scene also made me cry - even as a kid. I could never listen to slow music and not burst into tears, and this was before any family tragedy.
34:00 I saw All Dogs Go to Heaven because it has a Pit Bull in it. Best mob flick of all time. Its only flaw is that Carface ought to have more screentime. Gotta like Carface. 👍👍 How did purple/lavender, black and green become the default color scheme for both Bluth and Disney villains?
Jenner was an amazing villian. I was just a child when I first watched TSoN, but it was Jenner who taught me that the truly dangerous villians were the ones who were charismatic, could plot so easily in the background, and could bully potentially good people into doing bad things for them. Jenner was a real life villian.
Sharptooth getting the number one shout out is highly expected. But I am surprised Ludmila and Baba Yaga were left out of this roster, being complete Bluth Villains themselves.
Little did littlefoot know in a decade, we would discover tyrannosaurs could swim, a new order of sharp teeth waiting to take revenge

THANK YOU. Finally, I'm not the only guy who noticed that!
FATALITY!
Grundle's childlike personality really emphasizes how coddled he is by his mother, which imo helps emphasize HER villainy. Plus it helps him be distinct among the suitors. It's why Mr. Mole's much more passive nature works for me. Each suitor is unique enough to not overlap.
Also no lie Troll in Central Park TERRIFIED me as a little kid and I never knew why my older sibling wanted to watch it so much.
While I’m not a fan of Thumbelina, but Berkeley Beetle is probably the funniest character of the film, mainly because of the entertaining performance from the late Gilbert Gottfried. Although not that much as Iago, but there are a few moments from him that i did get the laughs out of, especially his relationship with Grundel.
I was shocked when I found out Gilbert voiced him!
I'm going to be honest. I can't hear that voice and think of anything but Didgit LeBoid
Yeah, his interactions with Grundel in that were pretty funny, especially once he realizes what a complete imbecile Grundel is and has to practically spell everything out for him as a result!
Jenner is one of the best villains in my childhood memories of films. He reminds me of the ruthless villainous Prince Malagant from First Knight because of the similar sword design with spikey edges along the edge of the evil sword.
I won't dispute that Rasputin has the best villain song, but Drake's "Don't Make Me Laugh" HA HA HA HA has been living rent free in my head for over 25 years.
Whoa! Sharp Tooth, the villain from my all time favorite Don Bluth film made #1 on your list??? I did not see that coming!
so Darke is literally Gaston from Beauty and the beast
Yep but as a bulling Emperor Penguin who bullies an Adele Penguin for liking a female Gentu Penguin

I really like how much you focus on the good parts of even the villians near the bottom of the list. Too often reviewers and rankers really play up the bad parts of any media without giving credit to the good parts. If this is how you do all your rankings I'll be happily enjoying your back catalog of content!
I will never understand so many reviewers putting "Marry the Mole" on their worst song lists. Sure it's no Hellfire, but it's fun!

“Great Scott, Bartok!”
Don Bluth wasn't afraid to be dark in his films especially with the villains.
Sharptooth and Rasputin are my favs from his films.
Don Bluth was great at showing that 2D animation is not just for kids, but for teens and adults too.
24:36 “knocking out”
Dude that guys neck is freakin GONE 😂
Isn't there a crunch when his neck breaks?
21:48 not to mention The Duke was voiced by the Late Christopher Plummer who had quite a demanding sounding voice
The devil from all dogs is still the most haunting thing I've ever seen. The end where it's shadow is casted over the city as you see how massive it is. And the overall presentation just oozes evil
I believe, wholeheartedly, that Sharptooth was the inspiration for the Indominus Rex of Jurassic World. At least the novelization of The Land Before Time.
Jambareeqi’s giddy excitement over these villains is just infectious.
Sharptooths deleted scenes makes him even more scary than he already is
I wonder if Sharptooth from the first Land Before Time movie could be related to the two from the second movie? If so wouldn't he be Chomper's uncle?
Too bad we'll never see the deleted scenes, Don Bluth got rid of them all. Said so in his book.
Sharptooth is the one Don Bluth villain I remember most. He was the scariest dinosaur I ever saw on film and he still is. Strong, intimidating, ferocious and frighteningly persistent, that’s what made me fear him when I was a kid.
These villain ranking videos are personally some of my favourites I can't wait to see what's next! Keep up the good work
I came up with my own Don Bluth villain that could top all of them!!
@@brianwhite9339 what's their name
@@brianwhite9339Then tell us about it!
Land Before Time in general has always been scary, even the more light heartened TV Series had its scary moments.
24:30 “knocks out” the traitor
He snapped his neck. Seriously
39:45 But what's also worth noting is that Rasputin is a fictional version of the the very real Gregori Rasputin a self-proclaimed holy man who was responsible partly for the Romanov's fall from power and their death
He had absolutely nothing to do with their deaths or fall from grace. That is all nonsense.
@@925263 well, to be fair, the real life Rasputin wasn’t exactly a good egg, either. He had affairs with the queen and apparently got creepy with the princesses.

This is very helpful though it can be Spoilers for someone who hasn't seen the video, removing alot of suspense needed to predict the next one, So put these under read more please.
Great list
Oh the irony of Dinosaurs... The Land Before Time was a film produced in a partnership between Steven Spielberg and Don Bluth and five years later, we come across another dinosaur film in Jurassic Park where Dinosaurs are done with live action eating people.
No wonder why my sister is a fan of these movies.
Sharptooth absolutely terrified four-year-old me, especially with how he just kept coming back. He’s like the Nemesis T-Type of dinosaurs
The mole is scary
The wall of insects and the fear of the beetle who dose not want to go near the underground is pretty damn eerie
36:29
So it seems the Big Lipped Alligator wasn’t so useless after all.
Why would you think he ever was?
@@bezoticallyyours83
Ask Doug Walker.
🙏😔thanks for giving the thumbelina villains their flowers even tho they overall ranked low on the list. Still made me really happy lol
Speaking of Thumbelina, the fairy prince ALSO falls for her because he likes her voice and thinks she is pretty. Not because of her personality, just her looks. He is nicer than the other guys but still likes Thumbelina for her beauty. He never said '' I will make your dream come true! '' or '' I should meet your mother. '' The fairy ask to marry her after a few hours. That's not romantic, it's weird 🤨Both characters don't know a lot about the other but wants to be married? I though love was fast in Disney movies but here it's even faster geez!
To be fair in the original story by Hans Christian Anderson, the Fairy Prince just kinda shows up at the end of the story
Thanks to studio intervention they forced don bluth to rewrite the whole film in one week
"Everything we're dreaming of will soon be hours.
Anything that you desire, anything at all.
Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall."
He absolutely does offer to make her dreams come tre.
Fae be whimsical creatures.
Why are you just plainly lying? The Prince sings with Thumbelina about *their* dreams coming true and about lifting her higher in life.
You really out here spreading misinformation about a Don Bluth movie lol.

While in the original story. Miss field mouse and the mole were plotting to keep thumbalina away from the outside world.
In don bluths she kinda has a crush on him but since mole wanted thumbalina instead you can see the disappointment on her face
A legend indeed jam
It's a Tragic Don Bluth went with a bad movie instead of a great movie his last movie to date Titan A.E let's hope he can made one final Banger of a movie with his old style 2D Animation ❤😢
I never saw this film but from afar, Titan A.E. doesn't look that bad or even bad at all. I really should give it a watch someday.
@c0mpu73rguy if I have to Describe Titan A.E it it like Disney's Treasure Planet but not good it doesn't have the charm as Treasure Planet
@@neilhannan5112 Well, you make a good point: Treasure Planet is an amazing movie. But I wouldn't watch anything if I had to compare everything to the best films I know. Like, why watch Treasure Planet when Castle in the Sky is so much better both as an adventure film and as a pirate film?
@@c0mpu73rguy I came up with a villain in his style that could top all the others!!
@@c0mpu73rguy Titan A.E is the most generic Sci-fi film you can think of.
There's a video called (The Complete History of Titan A.E) explaining the issues of making the film.
Well this list was a blast, can’t wait to see the sequel movies and where you would place the Land before Time Villains..that and Carface for his actions in the sequel that dog took his level of villainy to a whole other level.
I came up with a villain that could top all of them!!
Reading the novelizations of Titan AE is really wicked as well, it gives so much more depth and back story to each of the alien races/characters. The Drej especially, they have a very sophisticated hierarchy.
Fun fact in the ending credits you'll see on the upper right that both Mr mole and Ms field mouse are getting married I'm surprised i didn't notice that 💀
Amazing video of Don Bluth animated villains,fantastic job. I like enjoy titans A.E
Not gonna lie, the Sharptooth mildly traumatized me as a kid. It was only a few years ago where I could actually look at a picture of him without getting freaked out, and I’m in my early 30’s. This dude’s mere image scared me for decade's. I mean not enough to not enjoy the movie but still. Glad to see him make it to the top of your list.
Please do a ranking of the Cartoon Network movie villains it will be really cool okay keep up the good work
Drake is number 1 because he's voiced by Tim F*cking Curry!
Nostalgia critic
But what about Berkley being voiced by Gilbert Godfrey? Or Rasputin having Christopher Loyd as a speaking voice AND Jim Cummings as a singing voice? Those are pretty close contenders, in my opinion.
0:54 with the voice of the Late John Hurt to boot
Sharptooth made me scared of dinosaurs when I was a child
Carface and Sykes will be in our hearts
Some the characters fall into secondary villain or sub-villain instead of the main villain driving the plot but Don and his writers could tell 5 15 minute sub plots that fit perfectly into the main plot of the movie show or video game
You…
You did not just call Bartok a rodent…
"Oh, sure, blame the bat. What the heck? We're easy targets."
@@ggrarl”what are you muttering about?”
Yeah, I love movies where the hero and/or villain don't realize the other exists for most of the film. Rasputin is a pretty fun example.
32:50 Skaven would say that's not just normal, it's a time honored tradition.
Fun fact: Mrs. Fieldmouse was originally meant to be voiced by Betty White. But Don Bluth felt her voice was lacking energy and recast her with Carol Channing (a friend of White). However, Bluth hadn’t told White about the recasting (oops!). When Channing phoned White and told her that she was voicing a field mouse in an animated film, White replied she did the same. Bluth was then met with an angry phone call from White’s agents, which led to Bluth writing an apology letter to White.
Ooh, saving the villains from the non Bluth Bluth sequels, too. I imagine the villains from An American Tail 3 would completely dominate that one for the very few who have actually seen it
Is that the one with the evil business mice and racist cop or the evil chihuahua?
@@DwarfDaddy 4 is the one with the naughty little doggie. 3 is the one with the really evil business mice and the corrupt, sadistic cop
@@gugurupurasudaikirai7620 that makes sense, dog was definitely jumping the shark a bit and considering the plot of Fievel Goes West that’s saying a lot
@@DwarfDaddyat least Cat R Waul had a sense of charisma to him (provided by John Cleese, no less), could actually pull off his act very convincingly, and was actually somewhat menacing, while Madame Mousey was very difficult to take seriously.
@@thomashuffman3237 oh definitely but still his plan was to head to new york, cause chaos to lure mice out west, befriend the mice to lull then into a false sense of security, only to corral them into a giant mouse trap and turn them into mouse burgers. Compared to the chihuahua who faked a monster just to make a lot of money it seems a bit too convoluted
Even though i only knew four villains still great video
Sharp tooth isn't a villain, predators are a part of nature. Predators are antagonists, NOT villians
Wait what’s the difference
@@Lil_Guys predators are a part of nature, same as tornadoes or hurricanes. Obviously a tornado isn't a villain because it's a part of nature, same goes to a predatory animal like a T Rex or a shark. A villain is someone who has the mentality of a human, even if it's in the body of an animal or vehicle that willing does bad things
No like what’s the difference between an antagonist and a villain.
@@Lil_Guys you could say a villian is 'evil' (doing things that are wrong or bad, etc. in other words a bad person) , while an antagonist is only opposed to the protagonists.
In context of Sharptooth, if he was hunting down the characters because he just wanted to kill/hurt them (malicious intent or something) he'd be a villain, but if he's hunting down the characters because he has to eat or something (he's a carnivore, so that would be the case), hes an antagonist.
I hope that makes sense?
Yes but than that would mean that the original comment we’re replying to is wrong because after the characters shot a thorn in Sharp tooth’s eye, all he could think about was revenge
I still sing don't make me laugh even to this day. I didn't know Gilbert Godfried voiced the beetle from Thumbelina, I only remember for his in Disney's Aladdin trilogy as the voice of my favorite Disney villain sidekick, Iago the parrot.
4:57 the bird version of Gaston
Once again jam ranks villains
I always thought that until Goldie showed up, he seemed to keep the “the farm don’t love you” feelings as the strongest control he had.
And I always thought that King Llort was actually a secret supporter to the Good Trolls.
seriously, he hampers so many plans that the queen thought of that would have worked.
Tim Curry are simply wholesome whenever the role he play: if my favorite is Hexxus and his mythical song "Toxic Love" hearing Drake and "don't make me laugh" turn him into a vicious and shady creep. It's a tough choice about choosing between him and Ron Perlman to be my spiritual grandfather (for the moment Tim Curry won but his VCA and his age 77 aren't good news).
Mrs Toad are pretty for a female frog but the fact she stomp Thumbelina at 3:35 show how stupid and pervert she is. Her son Grundel look so dumb.
Joseph Korso and John Silvet are relatable or copycat: they're father figure although they're smuggler and bad guy and they redeem themselves at the end.
I love the Buena Vista version of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina. The mole is one of my favorite characters and has such a catchy song. :)
the fascinating thing about Jenner is that he represents the past of what the rats use to be, mere animals, his line "they've taken the animal out of you" was a clear indicator that while the other rats have evolved past their primal nature, as Nicodemus himself said "we know too much", Jenner by contrast still holds onto his which is ironic that for all the knowledge and sentience he gained from NIMHs experiments he could never allow himself to move forward only holding onto the old ways of "taking what you can WHEN you can" which as Justin said back to him "you've learned NOTHING"
the only thing keeping Rasputin alive is his glass cylinder because his sold his soul to the dark arts
D&D litch
It's odd that the grand duke is baking skunk pie with light, despite hating light.
39:45 I always loved the way Anastasia destroyed his reliquary and the demons killed him off the same way as Tiana did with Dr. Falicier from the princess and the 🐸. 41:06 also, this 🐈⬛ disguise 🥸 reminds me of the coachman in Pinocchio.
Wait just a moment....does that make Rasputin....A LICH?!
Think about it: unkillable by conventional means, magical powers, a special object which if destroyed finally kills him.....
IT MAKES SENSE!
I had never known all these movies were connected. The only movie I don’ remember seeing as a young child was A troll in central park. I have vague memories of Nimh, Thumbelina (I have a tiny speck of her Thumbelina song stuck burrowed deep in my head for some damn reason), remember that hughby had a flying penguin as a best friend who helped him off a ship of somekind, saw Land before time, American Tale, and rock-a-doodle many times,
Sharptooth is still the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of a T-Rex. Absolutely terrifying.
I grew up with Pebble & the penguin, and I just loved Drake as a villain and his somg was so catchy and made a perfect villain song.
Fun fact in the Christmas film of all dogs go to heaven carface becomes kind and changes for the better regardless of he's actions in the first film
I have to say Don Bluth really liked giving animals lips for some reason.
Fun Fact: Mr. Beetle was voiced by the late Gilbert Gottfried who we all know as Iago! 🦜

Honestly and for me, since I was a child, Sharptooth has always terrified me, it was like Pennywise from IT and Scarface from The Animals of Farthing Wood! Trauma upon trauma!
The thing about Pinky is he’s based on a very specific music producer - namely, Colonel Tom Parker, manager of Elvis Presley. He’s known to be very controlling of Elvis’ career, and just like Pinky, saw Elvis as his cash cow. Also, another thing that’s true to life in the Rock-a-Doodle film is the fact the Colonel put Elvis in a lot of truly awful films with truly awful songs, most of which are generally considered to be some of the worst recordings he ever made. Of course, the reason why he did this to Elvis was because the films (initially) made a lot of money just because Elvis was in them. At one point, he made Elvis do three films per year, which meant that because of the resulting hectic production schedule, he didn’t have any time to do any live performances, so the only way for people to see him perform was by watching his crap films!
Shit! And I saw that Biopic for Elvis. But I never knew that’s who that Fox was based on! (I was real young when I saw that movie).
And now that I see the translation between. It’s actually really interesting and really F’d up how that Happened! 😮
I think the Elvis Biopicture did a great job at really showing how Elvis was wronged for the majority of his career before his passing!
So to see both these cartoon characters taking inspiration from them makes me say Wow.
39:00 It's called his Reliquary.
Oh man, Land Before Time was a fave series of mine. I wasn't afraid of the Sharptooth - I was a sucker for meat eating dinos anyway.
But I can't rewatch the first movie anymore because of the death of Littlefoot's mother; I lost my own mom years ago due to bad health and any sort of family loss tends to trigger me nowadays and i just break down and cry.
Plus I admit, the song played during that scene also made me cry - even as a kid. I could never listen to slow music and not burst into tears, and this was before any family tragedy.
34:00 I saw All Dogs Go to Heaven because it has a Pit Bull in it. Best mob flick of all time. Its only flaw is that Carface ought to have more screentime. Gotta like Carface. 👍👍
How did purple/lavender, black and green become the default color scheme for both Bluth and Disney villains?
12:30 - But the song also got its Razzie Award.

Jenner was an amazing villian. I was just a child when I first watched TSoN, but it was Jenner who taught me that the truly dangerous villians were the ones who were charismatic, could plot so easily in the background, and could bully potentially good people into doing bad things for them. Jenner was a real life villian.
Sharptooth getting the number one shout out is highly expected. But I am surprised Ludmila and Baba Yaga were left out of this roster, being complete Bluth Villains themselves.
Well, technically, Baba Yaga wasn’t a villain. Ludmilla set her up.
