A random set of Top 11 Lists

I'm not going to spend time elaborating on each choice/character, hopefully these lists may spark discussion with other people.  Anyhow, here are a few Top 11 lists, relating to animated characters (all Disney, today):

Favourite Disney Princesses (YES, everyone has done this, but hey, here I go...):

11. Eilonwy (The Black Cauldron, not my favourite film, but Eilonwy's awesome).
10. Nala.
9. Aurora.
8. Giselle (Enchanted).
7. Rapunzel (Tangled).
6. Jasmine.
5. Kida (Atlantis: The Lost Empire.  A TOTALLY underrated Disney princess).
4. Merida (Brave).
3. Belle.
2. Mulan.
1. Pocahontas.

Favourite Disney female heroines/important female characters (who AREN'T princesses, for certain reasons).  I decided not to include mothers, who ARE heroines, don't get me wrong, but it would put a certain focus on the list that would ignore other awesome Disney characters:

11. Alice (she doesn't really actually do anything...  Well... "heroine-y...")
10. Vixey (Found and the Hound).
9. Abigail and Amelia (The Aristocats).
8. Maggie, Mrs Calloway, and Grace (Home on the Range, sorry, but I had to put these three together, they're a TEAM!).
7. Maid Marian (ALMOST a princess, but not quite...).
6. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather (sorry, I HAD to group them together, again).
5. Megara (Hercules).
4. Big Mama (Fox and the Hound).
3. Bianca (The Rescuers).
2. Lady.
1. Esmerelda.

Favourite Disney Villains (in terms of HOW MUCH I LIKE THEM):

11. The Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland).
10. Alameda Slim (Home on the Range).
9. John Silver (Treasure Planet).
8. Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty).
7. Madam Mim (The Sword in the Stone).
6. Hades (Hercules).
5. Yzma (Emperor's New Groove).
4. Professor Ratigan (The Great Mouse Detective).
3. Edgar (the butler from The Aristocats).
2. Prince John (Robin Hood).
1. "Goob" (Meet the Robinsons).

Disney Villains that (I personally belieeeeeve) have the most impact:

11. Ratcliffe (Pocahontas).
10. Scar (The Lion King).
9. The Queen (Snow White).
8. Cruella DeVil (One Hundred and One Dalmatians).
7. Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty).
6. Stromboli (Pinocchio).
5. Shan Yu (Mulan).
4. The Horned King (The Black Cauldron).
3. Chernabog (Fantasia, although some people reckon he doesn't really count as a villain.  He's still scary though...).
2. Headless Horseman (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad).
1. Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame).

Who would you have picked for these lists?  Let me know in the comments...  And I haven't posted in a while, because I do have a life outside of this, but tonight I was in the mood.
