Description

Ask anyone to name a great animated villain and you get Scar, Frollo, or Maleficent. Names from decades ago. Modern animated villains keep vanishing from memory the second the credits roll, and it is not an accident. We trace the pattern from Wish and Zootopia to Puss in Boots The Last Wish. You will learn why villain intros got weaker, why redemption arcs took over, and which recent villains prove the formula still works. 💼Inquiries: [email protected] Voiceover by: Mark Flores Portfolio: @markfloresvoiceover
