Description

Scar, Frollo, and Yzma had motivations that held up from start to finish, but villains like Evelyn Deavor, the Chameleon, and Namaari fall apart the moment you ask whether their plans make sense. This video breaks down what separates a strong villain motivation from a weak one, why a tragic backstory explains a villain but never excuses them, and how modern animation keeps getting it wrong. 💼Inquiries: [email protected] Voiceover by: Mark Flores Portfolio: @markfloresvoiceover
