My favorite characters in movies tend to be the villains. They are the ones with the best lines and the unmistakable charisma. The heroes tend to be very goody-two-shoes for my liking. Especially so in cartoons.
My absolute favorite cartoon villain is Scar from The Lion King. It was only after recently watching a few minutes of the eminently forgettable Die Hard 3 (Die Hard: With a Vengeance) did I realize that it was the voice of Jeremy Irons more than anything else that made Scar so menacing.
Listen to this song and pay close attention to Irons' raspy voice that drips malevolence with every syllable. Oooh...I'd walk on broken glass for this lion if it asked me to.
