My Top 15 Disney Villains

1.) King Candy/Turbo- Wreck-It Ralph

I wonder how many people are going to question me for this choice. From what I have seen, not too many people have this villain on their lists of their favorite Disney villains. Perhaps this is because King Candy (or should I call him Turbo?) is one of the more recent Disney villains, and a lot of the lists I have seen were released before Wreck-It Ralph came out. 

However, I am not afraid to admit my opinion, and I believe that King Candy is not only one of the most entertaining Disney villains, but he is also one of the most ingenious to date. Let me explain why.

After Vanellope takes Wreck-It Ralph's medal to enter the random roster race, we are shown more of the colorful world of Sugar Rush at the race track's starting line. At a tall stand with a curtain hanging down, we see Sour Bill introducing the ruler of Sugar Rush, and after he says, "All hail our rightful ruler, King Candy," the King himself comes out from the curtain, and we get a glimpse of how entertaining the character is.

He has a distinct manner that separates him from all of the other characters in Wreck-It Ralph. The way he moves, the way he talks, it's all comes together to create a very entertaining character. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that he is one of the most entertaining characters I've ever seen in an animated movie. A couple of my favorite moments of his include:

"You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would do?" 

"You hit a guy with glasses... That's, hehe, well-played."

"Salmon. Salmon, it's obviously salmon- what are you doing here?!"

Not to mention, another part of his character sometimes has me laughing: when he's mad or upset about something, he giggles. I have no idea why, but I always found that amusing. Then again, the way he laughs almost always has me laughing along with him.

Though, even with this personality, he is very manipulative. The best example of this comes from the part of the movie when King Candy tells Wreck-It Ralph why Vanellope cannot race. The story is actually very believable and seems like it could actually happen should Vanellope race. It convinces Ralph, and he goes on to destroy the kart that he and Vanellope made. With destroying the kart, not only does Ralph destroy Vanellope's dreams of being a real racer, but he also destroys the symbol of their friendship, thus making the damage all the worse for both Vanellope and Ralph. 

However, when Ralph returns to his own game and finds out that the game is out of order, from a balcony, he sees something that not even King Candy could prevent: a picture of Vanellope on the side of the game console. This leads him to confront Sour Bill about it, and the sour candy tells about King Candy's attempt to delete Vanellope's code. This also reveals the actual reason why Vanellope cannot race: the game would reset, thus making her a real racer again. 

Later on, Ralph then gets Fix-It Felix to fix the kart, and this allows Vanellope to enter the race after all. She does enter the race, and she manages to bump up her position on the board little by little until she is in 2nd place, 1st being held by King Candy. In a wintry-themed portion of the race, Vanellope catches up to the King and passes him. He tries to catch up to her, until he finds another way. He takes another route, which Vanellope thinks is just a cliff with no road ahead. After going to a cave-like setting with a Rainbow Road-esque track. After going along with twists and ups and downs of the first part of this track, King Candy finally catches up to her, and he tries to hit her with a pole that came from his kart. However, when she grabs onto the pole as well, her glitching reveals a very terrible secret about King Candy...

He is actually the infamous Turbo.

Here's a little story about Turbo: He was the main character of the very popular game TurboTime, and he loved the attention he got. However, Roadblasters came in and stole his thunder, so he left his game and tried to take over this one. However, in doing so, he caused both games to become unplugged, which is the equivalent of death for video games and their characters. 

What no one knew is that he hid away for so many years until Sugar Rush came in. Before anyone played the game, he came in and took over, making him ruler. He then continued to be the ruler of Sugar Rush for 15 years.

This makes Turbo one of the most successful Disney villains of all time. The fact that he actually managed to keep his true identity a secret also shows how great he is as well. There was not one slip-up of the tongue, nothing of the sort. Quite impressive!

Not only this, but the reveal was just so unexpected, and when I saw it in theaters for the first time, my jaw dropped. It was also done so well that the whole scene was just great. This is why I said that King Candy is one of the most ingenious Disney villains, because this whole scheme he had and this reveal were just perfect. It only makes me appreciate not only this character, but also Disney movies in a whole.

Going back to the movie, I should mention that at the very same time as this race, there is a Cy-Bug infestation going on in the game. In the movie, Ralph accidentially brought a Cy-Bug with him to Sugar Rush, and it made residence in the game underground and multiplied to unbelievable numbers. The eggs eventually hatched, and now a grand infestation is taking place.

Meanwhile, Vanellope manages to trick Turbo by glitching before he could ram her kart into a wall. This causes him to bump into the wall, and she takes the lead. However, when he tries to catch up to her, a Cy-Bug suddenly swoops down and eats him before he could exit the cave. 

It should be noted that Cy-Bugs take on the form of whatever it eats.

Seeing how terrible is infestation has gotten, Ralph realizes that the only way to stop the Cy-Bugs is with a beacon, a large light that the Cy-Bugs fly into, and gets the idea to go atop a large mountain called Diet Cola Mountain. At the top is numerous numbers of Mentos, and knowing what Mentos do to Cola, you can put two and two together. When he gets to the top of this mountain, he begins punching the Mentos to try and get them to fall into the mountain and to the pit of Diet Cola below. However, as he is doing so, something hits him and sends him flying across the top of the mountain.

It turns out to be King Candy in a Cy-Bug form. 

I need to say this now: King Candy's Cy-Bug form, or King Cy-Bug as I like to call him, is absolutely AWESOME. The picture you see of King Candy in the countdown picture is him in his Cy-Bug form, but even then, that little picture does not fully describe how awesome King Cy-Bug is. His appearance is actually somewhat frightening as well, seeing his vastly increased size, and he definitely appears as a much bigger threat than before. I just absolutely love it!

Not only that, but he gets a couple of dark lines as well:

"I should thank you... but it'd be more fun to kill you!"

"Ooo, look at that, it's your little friend! Let's watch her die together, shall we?"

Anyway, him and Ralph have a bit of a fight at the top of this mountain, and the battle itself is, while short, so awesome. The atmosphere is perfect, the blood red sky above and light coming from the floor from the boiling Diet Cola, and it shows King Cy-Bug at his best. He has sharp claws, is able to roll into a wheel-like form, and can fly. In fact, he uses that last ability to fly into the air and high above Diet Cola Mountain. When he gets to a good enough height, he even forces Ralph to watch as Vanellope could possibly die from the army of Cy-Bugs. Wow. That's dark.

However, Ralph frees himself from King Cy-Bug's grasp and falls toward Diet Cola Mountain. He then gives a final punch to the Mentos, causing them all to fall and toward the Diet Cola below. Before he could die by the upcoming Diet Cola geyser, Vanellope appears and saves him from his death. They escape the mountain in time.

King Cy-Bug, on the other hand, is not nearly as fortunate. Because he's part Cy-Bug, he begins to fly into the beacon. However, King Candy and Turbos' personalities did not completely fuse, and while King Candy wants to fly into the beacon, Turbo tries to avoid death. This creates complete mental anguish within this character, and that makes his end all the worse. Despite this, the King Candy side of him wins in the end, and he flies into the beacon.

With his very fun and entertaining personality, manipulative nature, very successful rule in Sugar Rush, brilliant reveal of his real self, and spectacular final form and final moments, King Candy/Turbo stands as #1 on this list and my favorite Disney villain of all time.

I hope you like my list! Feel free to state your own opinion in the comments, and Happy Halloween!
