Every great Disney hero needs a worthy opponent. Some villains win us over with a showstopping song, some with a killer wardrobe, and some with a plan so wickedly clever that we almost admire it (almost). But when you strip away the dramatic lighting and the thundering music, what are we left with? A signature move: the one sneaky, spooky or spectacular trick they’re best known for.
So we’re turning the tables. We’ll describe the move, and you name the villain behind it. No character names, no movie titles, just the dastardly deed. There are only four questions, so you can finish it during one commercial break, but they’re tricky enough to make even a lifelong Disney fan pause.
