New Villains Lair Video!!

[random-dragon-exe]

Everyone who likes Disney Villains, listen up.

There's a really cool YouTube channel by the name of Pattycake Productions, that is currently producing a series called The Villains Lair.

It's about the disney villains getting revenge on their respective protagonists. Their lair is inside The Evil Queen's castle and they have a plan to work together (and at most tolerate each other) to achieve their individual goals at revenge.

Far better than any live action remake, the series has top notch costumes and actors that embody the villains to a T. From Dr. Facilier's charisma to Lady Tremaine's poise, they're spot on. Not to mention, the set design is great.

Of course, there's music galore. Can't have a bunch of villains without a few songs. The music slaps and the villain's voices are top tier.

Tensions arise between villains, interactions are fun, certain villains pose a threat to others. It has nearly everything that a Disney Villain lover wants.

If you're curious about which villains are included here's a small list.

The Evil Queen

Maleficent

Jafar

Frollo

Scar

Captain Hook

Yzma

Dr. Facilier

And there's more!

Now with all that said, if this seems like something that interests you, consider watching the series and the first episode, it's a fun ride.

Anastasia and Drizella can do better and deserve better

I feel sorry for Anastasia and Drizella in The Villains Lair by PattyCake Productions. Yes, they are selfish, petty and shallow but they don’t know any better.

They seem to have been raised in isolation. They only had each other, their mother who shaped their world view and their step-sister Cinderella, who they were encouraged to mistreat. They didn’t have friends and were raised with high expectations placed on them.

Cinderella wasn’t the only one Lady Tremain was abusive to. She was just as abusive to her own daughters. However, Anastasia and Drizella can’t even recognise it because she abused them in a different way.

In their minds, she only wants the best for them. That’s why she always pushed them to be perfect. It couldn’t possibly be that her expectations are too high and they’ll never be able to live up to them no matter what, right?

Anastasia and Drizella don’t even get to be on the same side. They always have to compete and, because of that, they are constantly putting each other down.

They fawn over both Hans and Gaston (they can do better) but it’s always both Anastasia and Drizella fighting over one of them at a time. They never consider each trying to impress one man each. It has to be a competition because that’s all they’ve ever known. Whoever ‘wins’ is the better person and the other is a failure.

Lady Tremain told her daughters they had to be perfect and marry well. That’s what they’re trying to do. They will literally argue about who should get to marry a man who’s singing about how women are inferior and should be willing to change everything about themselves to please a potential husband.

Anastasia and Drizella don’t have any hobbies, skills or friends. They want to be rich and married to someone important. Outside of that, there have no interests.

The only time Anastasia and Drizella get to be on the same side is when they are against someone else. They get to hate other people, like Cinderella, more than they hate each other and that’s the closest they get to a sisterly bond.

Lady Tremain does not love her daughters. She sees them as pawns to help her climb the social ladder. She’s sung, in front of them, about how her perfect home is one where’s she’s all alone.

However, she was more obviously cruel to Cinderella and she didn’t make Anastasia and Drizella servants in their own home so she couldn’t really mean that. She must only have meant a home without Cinderella, not without them. She loves them, right?

Anastasia and Drizella are stuck surrounded by villains, with no role models and an emotionally abusive mother. They aren’t happy but, in their minds, that is all Cinderella’s fault. They don’t even realise how messed up their world view is and unless they can get out, they probably never will because they’ve never known anything else.

"I imagine a woman of your age, must have difficulty... remembering."

This bit in 'Thats All (The Villains Lair', Mal calling the Evil Queen old in that over-the-top fake-sweet voice, is my favourite XD Like- the absolute GALL. Mal do you want to die??? Damn- Perfectly in character XD

[edgarallanpoesbestie]

Cannot WAIT! Been watching this series for about 4 years now, it's such a faithful adaptation of the classic characters and so much effort goes into each episode. Thanks Tony, Layne and all the crew for the late Christmas gift lol!

„All I Ever Wanted“ by PattyCake Productions, but sung by the Villain Kids instead

While the post coronation party in Auradon sings „Set It Off,“ the Isle kids gather at the piers, catching just sorry glimpses of the colourful Auradonian celebration.

(Celebration of leaving the Barrier sealed, of leaving them to suffer in silence-)

Anthony Tremaine stands with his sisters and cousins, rather close to the edge, and holds Dizzy’s hand while the girl looks towards Auradon with a hopeful, longing expression. Anthony’s own eyes are, on the other hand, filled with pure hatred.

He turns away from the Barrier, tugging Dizzy with him, and starts singing, spitting the words out like venom: „For years I have waited and watched from the sides-“

The Isle kids quiet down and turn his attention to him.

„-As others were given their dues!“

He gestures towards Auradon and the Isle kids boo and shout and throw rocks towards their enemy, but he silences them with a glare after just a few moments. Dizzy looks up to him and picks up the song in her soft voice: „Overlooked and forgotten, my words cast aside…“

Anthony puts a finger on her lips and holds her a tiny bit closer. „I only did what I had to do,“ he finishes, somewhat apologetic: Dizzy has a dangerous tendency to talk too much, and they all know it. Besides, that isn't the only thing he is talking about, that much is clear.

The attention of the crowd shifts until it finally lands on the Facilier sisters, standing in a shadow too deep to be natural. Their faces are illuminated by equally eerie light. Celia starts singing in a perfect, velvety voice and the shadows around them dance, even though no one else is moving – or is it just a trick of light? A cruel illusion?

„As a child I have learned that the world can be cruel.“

She is still a child. They all are. They find themselves nodding along regardless.

Frederique picks up the song where her sister left off, her voice even more angelic than Celia’s. Her lids drop halfway down as she sings: „A game to which there are no rules––“

The sisters laugh together, throwing their heads back, and the crowd mirrors them without another thought, because there is nothing else left to do.

To the music of completely unhinged laugher, the sisters finish together, pure delight seeping through their words:

„Thieves are forgiven and justice is blind, but this time, the justice is mine!“

As the laughter echoes over the port, Harriet Hook climbs up on an empty barrel. She stands tall, overlooking the Isle kids below her and the reflections of Auradonian happiness far, far away beyond the sea. She runs her sabres together, which effectively silences the children, and gestures for Anthony Tremaine to join her. The crowd parts for him as he slowly walks towards her; he accepts the hand she offers him to help him climb up.

The pier stills as the oldest two Isle kids sing together in sombre tone:

„The past is a story; it tells us all who we are.“

The Isle kids swing in the rhythm.

„It robs us of glory and leaves us with nothing but scars!“

With the last word, she thrusts their joined hands in the air, as if in victory. Some repeat her gesture, while others flex their muscles to show off their own scars. They fought hard to get those, to survive, really.

The action is accompanied by quiet „Hell yeah,“ from the Gaston twins.

Harriet jumps down to join her pirates again, playfully shoving bystanders from her way. Anthony descends a bit more gracefully and dodges a few hits from the small scuffles that have broken out without as much as batting an eye.

The ruckus continues for some time and Uma unceremoniously pushes her way through. She stands at the end of the pier, her back to the crowd, but she doesn‘t mind that. Her crew has her back. She levels a hateful stare at the Barrier and the silhouettes of Castle Beast and Auradon Prep she surmises behind it.

She starts singing. She doesn’t put any extra emphasis on her words, at least not in the beginning, but the crowd stills regardless. Her voice grows stronger with each word and carries over the water, just as it was always meant to.

„All I ever wanted was a life that was rightfully mine-“

If hurt flashes through her eyes for a moment, no one sees: she isn’t facing the Isle then. Her crew circles behind her back, Harry Hook closer than most. When she turns around to look at them, her expression might as well be from stone.

„To never play second in line,“

Yeah, Harry Hook definitely stalks too close to her and the Isle kids pretend they didn’t notice the brief moment when their hands touched and the small cracked smile she sent him. They sing the next line together with their crew:

„Time to thrive not just survive!“

The pirates clash their sabres together, just for the effect, just for the thrill –

There is now a tiny sliver of clear space between the Lost Revenge crew and the rest of the Isle children, mainly due to the cutlasses slashing through the air in a rhythmic pattern as Uma continues singing: „All I ever needed was a moment to even the odds-“

Harry finishes her sentence, standing so that he could see both her and the crowd, but his eyes never move from her, not even as his sisters snicker at his attitude. He doesn’t care.

„-With power to rebel the gods!“

In the beat between his line and hers, Reza seizes the opportunity to speak up, throwing his hands up above his head in a gesture that clearly marks him as the centre of the galaxy.

„The stars aligned to my design!“

Before any of the pirates can react, Jade clasps her hand over his mouth, not really caring if he will bite, and hisses: „Evil, shut up, Reza, before Harry gives you a second smile.“ „Or before Uma feeds you to sharks,“ adds CJ Hook cheerfully as she pushes her way around them to the centre of the pier. „Yes. Or that. Thank you.“

Uma decides the interruption unimportant enough and finishes:

„That’s all I ever wanted.“

The formation the pirates held dissuades and the blend back to the crowd, more or less, or the crowd reclaims them back, just as the tide takes the shores. They’re all Isle kids, and that’s more than could ever be said.

But there is still a semblance of empty space, just few feet in between the armed teens and the edge of the pier. CJ barges in there, attracting attention all at once, and her older sister follows just a split second after her. Harry joins them from the side.

„All of my life I have tried to be heard,“ she shouts more than she sings, holding her sabre way up above her head in a war cry. To her eternal delight, she scares several seagulls so much that they finally take off and dramatically fly away just at the right moment.

Harriet circles closer to her sister and picks up the song smoothly. She ignores the crowd, seemingly paying attention only to CJ and Harry, and her smile is like a shark's, like a crocodile's.

„But men only hear what they fear,“

Absolutely none of the Isle boys felt a shiver down their spine with her voice, definitely absolutely none. Though the snickers of the Facilier sisters and the giggles of Tremaine cousins might suggest otherwise.

Harry holds up his hook and inspects it, playing with the tip, as he sings out:

„Fate wasn’t given, it’s something I took-“

„Now they have fear of the hook!“

All three siblings cry out together, their weapons thrust wildly into the air. Harry’s hook clings and catches the light and the eyes of the Isle children as it clings between the blades of his sisters.

They fall apart cackling and CJ starts spinning around – Harriet only just manages to snatch the weapon off her before she slices someone in half. Uncaring for that, CJ laughs and laughs and grabs her siblings hands so they'd join her in their dance.

They do.

And the Isle children let themselves be carried away by their mad, manic energy, joining the dance.

Arms and weapons in the air, spinning bodies, the thuds of footsteps and jumps on the almost-rotten wood–

It feels almost like freedom. Just almost, though.

They run out of breath, eventually, or maybe just out of energy to pretend, though Harry is still grinning madly, his hook now looped through Uma's fingers.

Through the dying laughter and fast breaths, another voice rises in a song, and the crowd parts for Ginny Gothel.

„There was always a standard to which I was held.“

She slowly walks down the pier, looking at her reflection in a raised dagger and adjusting her hair, as if she ever cared for her looks that much.

„A fairness to which I was sworn.“

As she pronounces „fairness,“ the Isle kids try very hard not to think of Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen, the fairest of them all. She is in Auradon now and she was in banishment before, they barely knew her all in all, but she is still one of them. Still an Isle girl.

Ginny swirls around and her cape flies around her. She pouts at her audience:

„But life took a turn and the hard way I learned: Every rose has its thorn!“

No one is really surprised when the dagger she was using as a dagger ends up handle-deep in the wall of a poorly built shackle nearby.

Mad Maddy’s thin hand rips it back out and the girl starts paying with it, ignoring the murmurs of the crowd. She learned to do so a long time ago.

„Casted to the outside“

Mal, the traitor.

It was always Mal, wasn’t it?

Maddy appears lost in her own head as the crowd quiets down for her to continue, but she does so regardless.

„Watching as others delight!“ she snarls and throws the dagger towards Auradon with all her might.

Ginny shrieks that that was her dagger and immediately attacks Maddy while the crowd chants and cheers. Now more than ever, they crave something, anything– Freddie chooses to ignore the disrupted mood and siezes the opportunity to sing again: Her voice easily carries over the ruckus the Isle children cause. She loves her voice.

„A thirst on the inside,“

She makes the others join her for the next part.

„For darkness to conquer the light!“

The Shadows rise around her and Celia, just a bit, just as much as the Barrier allows. She wishes the Barrier would burn.

Gil stumbles in the middle of the crowd, clearly having been pushed by Harry Hook just moments before, and recites a few lines, while his crew claps and wolf-whistles. He can’t sing, but his voice carries anyway.

„All I ever wanted was my time living life in the sun!“

He retreats back to the other pirates and his brothers continue, and, yeah, they can’t sing either. They just think they can.

„When those fools all regret what they've done to me, they'll see that I'm not through.“

They make strongman poses and few of older Tremaine cousins giggle at the sight.

Uma, having had enough, stucks her sabre into the pier. All eyes land on her at once, which is what she wanted, and her crew carefully takes a step aside. Except for Harry, who circles closer.

„All I ever needed was a moment to conquer my fate!“

The Isle children cry out in agreement as she gestures towards Auradon and articulates her next words with so much venom it would be enough to kill a small kingdom.

„To never be second to great!“

Harry gives her a look that suggests that such thing is fully impossible in his eyes and Harriet dryly advises him to get a room before leading the rest of the pirates, including the definitely-not-blushing due and giggling CJ into the next line:

„A world that's prime and mine to take, it's all I ever wanted.“

Harriet silences the crowd with a single gesture and continues alone, locking eyes with Anthony Tremaine.

(„They should also get a room,“ whispers CJ for everyone to hear.)

„Days turn to hours and hours to years, hope becomes twisted and rooted in fear.“ There was never any hope, though, was it? Not until the boy-king invited four of them to the land of fairytales, but that was too good to last.

Anthony finishes Harriet’s bitter verse, just as before:

„Balance and order are cast to the side, vengeance for justice that I've been denied.“

A nearby trash can bursts into flames. „My fault!“ announces CJ cheerfully, „Do carry on!“ The mood of the crowd rises considerably and people shout and laugh and shove each other around, ignoring Uma asking de Vil cousins whether they gave CJ any explosives and Harriet scolding CJ for setting a fire again.

Before the flames burn out, Zevon steps in front of them, but before he can say anything, Diego de Vil and his mates from the Bad Apples sing the next line in unison and surprising harmony.

„All I ever wanted was a chance to even the score!“

Exasperated Zevon runs his staff through the fire and points it at Auradon.

„Why settle for less when there's more?“

His mood does not get better when his sister Yzla joins him.

„To conquer all that came before!“

The crowd returns to its previous frantic energy, not sparing any insult for the heroes or the old villains, voices rising and falling again around the jagle of weapons. It can’t be distinguished who says what anymore, and maybe it doesn‘t matter.

„All I ever needed was a slip in the balance of time-“

Anthony lifts Dizzy into the air.

„-To regain what's rightfully mine!“

The Hook siblings laugh like it’s the end of times.

„-To change the end and start again!“

Breathless, the children listen to one last voice, the soft, too quiet voice of Claudine Frollo.

„It’s all I ever wanted,“ she sings, gazing at Auradon with an unreadable expression.

To those of you who love Disney Villains,

I definitely recommend watching "The Villains Lair" on YouTube by PattycakeProductions.

It's a whole crossover series of all the villains in one place and it's literally so cool, plus some of the songs are very catchy.

[frillyfacefins]

I ship them so much

[twistedtummies2]

When watching the news Episode of The Villains Lair, I got some "Your Fault!" From Into the Woods vibes. Because they were basically pinning the blame on one another!

So did I! I'd be surprised if the team at Pattycake Productions wasn't inspired by that song. Not only is the basic idea of the song the same, but so is the meter and the sort of pattering way the pair banter and jab at each other. A couple sections almost felt like they followed the same rhythm, especially... Queen: "...Now unable to collect her debts from us to pay!" Maleficent: "You mean YOUR debt." Queen: "MY debt?" Maleficent: "Yes!" Queen: "It was OUR debt!" Maleficent: "Wrong again, my pet." Needless to say, it WOULD be kind of cool to see Mother Gothel break into a round of "The Last Midnight" at some point. Especially since Donna Murphy was in a production of "Into the Woods"...but I digress.

Prepare yourself for a fast paced (but with perfect diction) duel of evil masterminds, and yet another tune that will haunt your brain for hours!

That's All - The Villains Lair (S2E4)

The new villain's lair episode is up...

[random-dragon-exe]

I can't help but love to see how much fun the actors are having with portraying the villains.

The best example is this:

I mean sure, they're also clearly in character.

But to see actors having fun plus to an extent, the characters of Hook and Tremaine enjoying coming together to put Hans in his place is absolutely a delight to see.

[nuttersincorporated]

I want to talk about The Villains Lair by PattyCake Productions. It’s so good!

If you haven’t watched it, this is what it’s about-

The Disney animated villains have teamed up and are living in Evil Queen’s castle. They are all unhappy about how their stories ended and are either looking for revenge or a way to rewrite the story.

All the villains look amazing and are so well characterised.

The first epsiode is above. If you like it and it sounds interesting, then go watch the series! You can watch it all here.

[luxora]

Watch "What Goes Around Comes Around - The Villains Lair (Ep 1) A Disney Villains Musical" on YouTube

This is what is inspiring me for Disney Villains Au. I really recommend you giving this a watch. Really brilliant.

Episode 1

[distracted-obsessions]

Ok, but imagine Villain/Henchman/Assassin Whumpee being found by the heroes while they raided Supervillain Whumper's lair and they take Whumpee into custody. They don't handcuff Whumpee because they aren't fighting back (either too injured or in shock) but as they lead Whumpee out of the lair, Whumpee stops.

"Did you find them?"

"Find who?"

Whumpee pulls away from them and goes deeper into the lair. Every time the heroes grab them, they get more and more distressed, saying that they can't leave. They won't leave. After a minute, they start screaming out a name that the heroes don't recognize.

Just as one of the heroes goes to knock Whumpee out, they see a child crawl out from under the stairs and run straight for Whumpee who drops to their knees and hugs the child tightly, shushing their cries and whispering soft, comforting words. "Shh, it's ok. Mommy/Daddy is here. I'm ok. We're ok. it's ok. Shh."

The perfect villain's lair is in Dunmore Head, Kilbaha, Kilrush, Co. Clare, Ireland. It has 4bds, 4ba, €9,75M / $10.505M. Notice the helipad, b/c villains always need a helicopter for a getaway.

It has a huge courtyard out front.

This entrance hall leads to 2 more doors.

That open to another entrance hall with a large niche and a fireplace.

Then another 2 doors with leaded glass.

Open to a stunning dining room. Look at the shine on that floor and the gorgeous ceiling.

On the other side of the fireplace there's a sitting room.

The kitchen doesn't even look like a kitchen. It's very sparse, too.

The primary bedroom has a sitting area with a fireplace.

The closet has a sliding ladder. I can see that there's a reflection in the floor, but it also looks like it could be trap door.

Very nice shower room.

Here's a kitchenette.

And, that opens to a hall with stairs.

Look at the crossover on the 2nd floor.

Plus, there's also another level.

Lovely bedroom with an arched ceiling, fireplace and a door to a deck.

Lovely large shower room. The baths look the same.

There's also a beautiful elevator.

The uppermost floor.

Another kitchen.

Table outside of the wine cellar.

Wow, a super clean indoor pool room that doesn't look like it's ever been used. The water is filled up to the brim.

The 60 acre property is located on a peninsula.

The lair at night.
