The worst thing that happens to her is that she loses her maid, which hardly feels like a fitting punishment for someone who has taken such joy in torturing an innocent young woman for years. Audley's voice work is outstanding as she delicately lists Cinderella's chores before violently barking her demands.Īs with the Coachman in "Pinocchio," Lady Tremaine never faces any consequences. The image of Lady Tremaine sitting in bed and stroking her cat while aggressively silencing Cinderella and demanding she does even more work is bone-chilling. As Cinderella walks into the grand, shadow-cloaked bedroom, we see the sinister green eyes of Lady Tremaine (and the glistening eyes of her cat, Lucifer) piercing through the shadows. We hear her first: a sharp cry calling out for Cinderella. It's surprising (and a bit disappointing) that such a menacing monstrosity is so easily defeated by something as measly as a church bell, but perhaps that speaks more to my desire to see Chernabog wreak absolute havoc! Despite an appearance so small in Disney animation's longest movie that it may as well amount to a cameo, an incredible design matched with incredible power has allowed Chernabog to remain one of Disney's greatest villains. Chernabog was animated by Bill Tytla, a titan of Disney's first films, and Tytla makes Chernabog unforgettable, striking a perfect balance of looking like he's carved into a mountain and therefore largely immobile but giving the illusion that he could break out at any moment to destroy the world. Not even Monstro the whale can compete with Chernabog, who's quite literally the size of a mountain. His size is every bit as awe-inspiring, and in terms of sheer scale, he's undoubtedly the biggest villain. With the mere wave of his hand, he's able to summon the spirits of the dead to do his bidding.
