00:00 "Listen, that's not what I meant. Let me explain."
00:02 "Let go!"
00:03 "No, I'm not letting you leave."
00:05 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10
00:10 Disney characters who would be a terrible date.
00:12 "How typical. Thank you, Jones."
00:16 For this list, we'll be looking at the worst fictional folks from the
00:19 studio's animated films that we would not want to go out with.
00:23 We know some of these characters die in their movies,
00:25 but for our purposes, we're discussing them in the context of when they were alive.
00:30 Which of these characters would you dread going on a date with? Let us know in the comments.
00:34 Number 10. Prince Florian - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
00:40 "Good day."
00:42 "Good day."
00:44 "Oh!"
00:46 "Hello."
00:46 "Did I frighten you?"
00:48 If we had to choose one Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs character to go out with,
00:52 Prince Florian wouldn't be our first pick, or our tenth.
00:56 After all, he's a pretty forgettable presence in the film.
00:59 "One heart, tenderly beating, ever entreating."
01:09 We only see him a couple of times, and he comes across rather one-dimensional on the whole.
01:14 Now we know the protagonist is rather taken with him.
01:17 And we get it, he's cute, and okay, yes, he can sing.
01:22 "Once more, my heart keeps singing."
01:30 Still, we can't imagine he'd be the most captivating date around.
01:34 Plus that kissing the very much not awake Snow White ordeal is a little bit too hard to overlook.
01:40 Number 9. Clayton - Tarzan
01:43 "We must find him."
01:44 "Oh, Professor, you are here to find gorillas,
01:50 not indulge some girlish fantasy."
01:52 There are several reasons why we'd say absolutely not to a romantic outing with Clayton.
01:57 For one thing, he has zero respect for nature and animals.
02:01 And he's lying to everybody for most of the movie, but his true colors are dark.
02:07 It goes without saying, but a person who's willing to exploit gorillas for profit
02:12 is not someone we need around.
02:13 "But I couldn't have you making a scene when we put your furry friends in their cages."
02:20 "Why?"
02:21 "Why? For 300 pounds sterling a head."
02:26 Plus, even if you put that aside, his personality isn't all that appealing.
02:30 He's violent and thinks he's better than everyone.
02:33 That's not the kind of energy one needs on a date.
02:35 We'd much rather spend our time with Tarzan.
02:38 Number 8. Maleficent - Sleeping Beauty
02:41 "Why, it's Maleficent. What does she want here?"
02:46 "Well, quite a glittering assemblage, King Steppen."
02:51 Picture it. You meet Maleficent for a nice candlelit soiree.
02:54 Soon, you say the wrong thing and you're cursed to die at the hands of a spinning wheel.
02:59 Talk about things going awry.
03:00 Perhaps that sounds dramatic, but look at the precedent set in Sleeping Beauty.
03:05 That is literally how the vicious villain, Overt, reacts
03:08 when she's not invited to baby Aurora's christening.
03:12 "Before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger
03:17 on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die."
03:21 And don't even get us started on her ability to turn into a dragon.
03:25 We definitely don't want to risk linking up romantically with her,
03:29 especially since we don't know any good fairies who can help us in the event of disaster.
03:34 "You poor simple fools, thinking you could defeat me,
03:39 maybe the mistress of all evil."
03:42 Number 7. Cruella De Vil, 101 Dalmatians
03:46 "My only true love, darling, I live for furs. I worship furs.
03:53 After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't?"
03:59 If there's a song out there warning people about how terrifying someone is,
04:04 run from said person.
04:06 In this case, immediately hide your dogs, too, for reasons that are obvious.
04:10 Roger sings about Cruella being a spider waiting for the kill,
04:14 probably not even realizing how spot on he is at first.
04:17 "Cruella, Cruella, she's like a spider waiting for the kill."
04:26 And she proves him right with her horrid attitude and unspeakable plan
04:30 for those adorable pups.
04:32 So why would we get tangled in her web?
04:34 Can you imagine a day that's supposed to be romantic in Cruella's company?
04:38 Something tells us she'd spend it discussing her furs.
04:41 Or worse, she'd force us to accompany her on a quest to find more of them.
04:45 No thank you.
04:46 "You idiots. You, you fools. Oh, you imbeciles."
04:55 "Ah, shut up."
04:57 Number 6. Mother Gothel, Tangled
04:59 "Rapunzel?"
05:01 "Yes?"
05:02 "Don't ever ask to leave this tower again."
05:08 When choosing somebody to go out with,
05:10 you'd presumably want their core values to align with yours.
05:13 That's why Mother Gothel isn't a viable option.
05:16 Let's start by stating the obvious.
05:18 She "takes" Rapunzel, lies to her about her entire life,
05:22 and refuses to let her explore the world.
05:25 "From your mumsy, on your own, you won't survive.
05:29 Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy, ugly, belly chew up alive."
05:35 As if that wasn't bad enough, she doesn't truly care for the protagonist.
05:39 At least, not as much as she cares about mooching off her hair's magical properties.
05:44 A lot of this speaks to Gothel's over-the-top aversion to aging and death.
05:48 So if you're looking for a partner to happily grow old with, she's not your gal.
05:53 Plus, we cannot overstate how creepy and passive-aggressive she is.
05:59 "You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad guy."
06:04 Number 5. Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, Frozen
06:10 Do not, we repeat, do not, under any circumstances sing a duet with this man.
06:15 And definitely don't accept any proposals from him.
06:18 "Can I say something crazy? Will you marry me?"
06:28 "Can I say something even crazier? Yes!"
06:31 Hans is about as deceitful a human as they come,
06:34 duping Anna and proceeding to completely betray her in a bid to overtake Arendelle.
06:39 He's cold-hearted and just awful, so the last thing any of us should be doing is dating him.
06:44 "I, on the other hand, am the hero who is going to save Arendelle from destruction."
06:50 "You won't get away with this."
06:52 "Oh, I already have."
06:57 Seriously, he'd probably try to charm us with some trip or cute drive around town,
07:01 while preying on any insecurity he can spot.
07:04 All the while, he'd be scheming to steal from us and our loved ones. Or worse. We'll pass.
07:09 "Anna? But she froze your heart."
07:13 "The only frozen heart around here is yours."
07:15 Number 4. Scar, The Lion King
07:22 "Respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am. Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared. Be prepared."
07:35 Be prepared to swipe left and stay as far away from Scar as possible, that is.
07:40 The fact that he's an animal notwithstanding.
07:43 We can't ignore how he's more than willing to sacrifice his own family to obtain power.
07:48 Not only is he responsible for his brother Mufasa's brutal demise,
07:52 he then proceeds to blame his young nephew Simba. Who would do something like that?
07:57 "No one ever means for these things to happen. But the king is dead.
08:04 And if it weren't for you, he'd still be alive."
08:08 Look, there's no denying that Scar is among the most captivating Disney villains around.
08:14 He's menacing, heartless, condescending, and will betray anyone to get his way.
08:20 Of course, those very same traits mean he would be one of the worst possible people
08:24 to go bowling, hiking, or anywhere else with.
08:27 "You can't do that."
08:29 "I am a king. I can do whatever I want."
08:32 "If you were half the king Mufasa was you-"
08:34 Number 3. Gaston, Beauty and the Beast
08:37 "She's the one. The lucky girl I'm going to marry."
08:40 "But she's-"
08:41 "The most beautiful girl in town."
08:42 "I know, but-"
08:43 "That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?"
08:47 We don't know about you, but we prefer our romantic prospects not to be total jerks.
08:52 Sadly, that excludes Gaston from the running.
08:56 This is one guy who only thinks about himself and has some seriously sexist beliefs.
09:01 Lest we forget how he's only interested in Belle for her looks,
09:05 or how he treats her dad Maurice.
09:07 Boo. We can see it now.
09:09 We go on a moonlit beach walk with him,
09:11 but he ruins the ambiance by rambling on about his muscles and how many eggs he eats.
09:16 "To help me get large. And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs."
09:22 "So I'm roughly the size of a barge."
09:28 His character just exudes more toxic masculinity than we can bear.
09:32 We'd even say no one's egos is incredibly big as Gaston's.
09:36 "No one plots like Gaston, takes cheap shots like Gaston,
09:41 plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston."
09:45 Number 2. Jafar, Aladdin.
09:48 If you look up the term "red flag," we bet a picture of Jafar would pop up.
09:52 Okay, fine, it wouldn't. But it should,
09:55 because he's not good date material by any stretch of the imagination.
09:59 "You will order the princess to marry me."
10:03 "I'm rewarded the princess to... But you're so old."
10:11 But actions speak louder than words, so let's look at just some of what he does in Aladdin.
10:16 There's the way he doesn't hesitate to use hypnosis on the Sultan,
10:19 and his particularly unsettling behavior towards Jasmine.
10:23 "A beautiful desert bloom such as yourself
10:26 should be on the arm of the most powerful man in the world."
10:28 "What do you say, my dear?"
10:31 There's also his obsession with becoming all-powerful,
10:34 which leads to him using genie services for less than noble purposes,
10:38 and his ill treatment of others.
10:41 We just know he'd never take us on a dreamy magic carpet ride,
10:44 let alone for any sort of pleasant night.
10:46 "Things are unraveling fast now, boy! Ha ha ha ha ha! Get the point?"
10:54 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:59 Prince Charming, Cinderella.
11:00 He'd probably be more focused on our footwear than anything else.
11:04 "Goodbye!"
11:05 "No, wait. Come back. Please come back!
11:08 I don't even know your name! How will I find you?
11:11 Wait! Please wait!"
11:13 Yzma, the Emperor's New Groove.
11:15 She's iconic, but most of the date night conversation
11:18 would revolve around her hatred of Kuzco.
11:21 "Does he?"
11:22 "A little to the left."
11:23 Kuzco, the Emperor's New Groove.
11:27 Something tells us it would be the Kuzco Show.
11:30 "Hate your hair? Not likely. Yikes. Yikes, yikes.
11:34 And let me guess, you have a great personality.
11:38 Is this really the best you could do?"
11:40 Evil Queen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
11:43 We wouldn't even accept an apple from her,
11:45 so a whole date is out of the question.
11:47 "To taste the apple in my hand, a breath will still, a blood can heal.
11:53 Then I'll be parished in the land! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
12:00 Ernesto de la Cruz, Coco.
12:02 We wouldn't want to remember any encounter with him.
12:06 "No dejaré de quererte! Ay, ay, ay, ahhhh!"

12:32 Number 1. Judge Claude Frollo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
12:36 "What are you doing?"
12:38 "I was just imagining a rope around that beautiful neck."
12:43 "I know what you were imagining."
12:45 What's your ideal date?
12:47 Does it involve sitting down with someone who acts righteous when they're anything but?
12:51 If yes, spend a night out on the town with Frollo.
12:54 But if your idea of romance is, say, having a nice dinner with someone
12:58 who views you as an equal and engaging and stimulating conversation,
13:02 then we suggest you decline any invite from him.
13:06 We can't see past what he does to Quasimodo's mom or the way he mistreats Quasi.
13:10 "How dare you defy me?"
13:14 "You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my people.
13:18 You speak of justice, yet you are cruel to those most in need of your help."
13:21 "Silence!"
13:22 "Justice!"
13:23 That's saying nothing of the way he harms anyone who's different from him,
13:27 or how he holds Esmeralda responsible for his own lust.
13:30 Close-minded and hypocritical, Frollo is the worst of the worst.
13:35 There's no way in hellfire we'd spend a minute alone with him.
13:38 "Choose me or your pyre.
13:43 Be mine or you will burn!"
13:47 Do you agree with our picks?
