Clever attack plans and visual appeal play a key role in determining the impact of final battle scenes. Some battles showcase smart tricks over sheer strength, or feature emotionally charged confrontations.

The best Disney villains command more power and flair than most of their heroic counterparts, who rise to the challenge in their movies' final acts to combat the villain both physically and ideologically. Some of the best final battles in Disney movies are direct results of the most evil Disney villain plans, and are especially emotionally charged because of the heroes' desire for revenge.
