Bellwether, Prince Hans and Yokai’s poor receptions as villains in Zootopia, Big Hero 6 and Frozen (But mostly due to being poorly written twist villains.) and the films being admired more for Nick Wilde, Chief Bogo, Judy Hopps, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Hiro’s character arcs/redemption arcs and internal conflicts instead is what caused Walt Disney Animation Studios from Moana in 2016 to Strange World in 2022 to retire using villains in their feature films for a long time in favor of focusing on internal conflicts and character arcs/redemption arcs before returning to using villains starting with Wish in 2023 with King Magnifico and Nalo and Matangi in Moana 2, and an unknown villain for Zootopia 2. King Magnifico, Nalo, Matangi and the unknown villain for Zootopia 2 are also classic villains evil right from the start, Disney has now retired using twist villains for good and so has Pixar now sticking to classic evil right from the start villains. Elio hopefully will have a villain too.
