Disney villains come in many forms. Some, like the evil sorcerer Jafar (&#39;Aladdin&#39;) and the &quot;Mistress of All Evil,&#39; Maleficent (&#39;Sleeping Beauty&#39;), have magical powers that allow them to wreak havoc on their poor, unsuspecting victims. Great Walt Disney movie villains may also be &quot;regular&quot; people who are simply bad apples.

Speaking of bad apples, Queen Grimhilde, from Disney&#39;s classic &#39;Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,&#39; didn&#39;t necessarily have magical powers, but she was cruel beyond measure to Snow White, and a schemer of the highest order. Certainly, the same could be said of the horrible, no good Cruella de Vil from Disney&#39;s &#39;101 Dalmatians.&#39;

Rank: <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time">The Best Movie Villains of All Time</a>

Some of the best Disney movie villains aren&#39;t even human. Examples? How about the evil python Kaa from &#39;The Jungle Book&#39;? And without question Scar, the power hungry, sinister baby brother of Mufasa in &#39;The Lion King&#39; is worthy of a spot on this list. Finally, last but certainly not least, the Big Bad Wolf from Walt Disney&#39;s &#39;Three Little Pigs&#39; is a menacing character.

Nickelodeon: Nick Is for Kids

Animated TV

Nickelodeon cartoons are some of the best on cable and have made Nickelodeon the go-to source of basic cable children&#39;s entertainment. While Nickelodeon was known for its live action shows in the 80s and early 90s, it started to shift its programming focus over to cartoons. They even created their own cartoon company called, &quot;Nicktoons.&quot; So, whether you like the old Nickelodeon shows are you&#39;re into their newer hits, you&#39;ll find all <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-favorite-cartoons-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the best cartoons</a> right here.

&quot;Nicktoons&quot; introduced the world to such famous Nickelodeon cartoons as Rugrats, Ahhhhh Real Monsters, Doug, and much more. It wasn&#39;t until <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-2000s-nickelodeon-cartoons/ranker-tv" target="_blank">2000</a> that Nickelodeon really started to pick up steam with their massive hit, Spongebob Squarepants. Spongebob was so popular it became synonymous with cartoons in general. In addition to Spongebob there are many of other memorable Nickelodeon cartoon characters from these Nick cartoons.

Since then Nickelodeon has made cartoon hits as well as some off-kilter toons like The Fairly Odd Parents, Invader Zim,&nbsp;and Ren and Stimpy. Nick is also the creator of some cutting edge programming like Avatar: The Last Airbender and its current follow up, Avatar: Legend of Korra.

Nickelodeon might not make the live action shows that some of us grew up loving anymore, but they certainly have made up for it by producing some of the best cartoons around. Vote for your favorite old and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-nickelodeon-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">new Nickelodeon cartoons</a> here on this Nickelodeon shows list!

The 1990s brought a wave of amazing, unforgettable programming designed specifically for kids. Let's rank 'em.

'90s TV for Kids

poll

The best cartoons of the &#39;90s are those <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-animated-series-ever-made">top animated series</a> that ran between the years of 1990 and 1999 and feature Nicktoons, Saturday morning cartoons, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-disney-cartoon-shows-all-time/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Disney animated TV shows</a>, and network cartoon series for both kid and adult audiences. With so many great series airing in the early and late &#39;90s, it&#39;s no surprise that these are also some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-favorite-cartoons-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best cartoons of all time</a>.

For the most part, these&nbsp;cartoons are geared towards children. Those growing up in the 1990s undoubtedly spent numerous hours as kids watching the likes of Rugrats,&nbsp;Doug,&nbsp;Rocko&#39;s Modern Life,&nbsp;and Animaniacs. Few can deny that classic series like Dexter&#39;s Laboratory, DuckTales,&nbsp;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,&nbsp;and TaleSpin&nbsp;are some of the best ever for Saturday morning viewing.

Then there&#39;s another breed of &#39;90s cartoons that were not kids cartoons, and are&nbsp;better suited for more adult audiences. South Park&nbsp;broke the mold with it&#39;s raunchiness, as did the likes of Beavis and Butt-head&nbsp;and Family Guy.&nbsp;Two of those three are still popular even today with new episodes airing weekly. All feature more mature jokes, topics children wouldn&#39;t really understand and a whole lot of inappropriateness all bundled tightly in animated form.
