Old doodles of Nasira, Jafar's (canonical) twin sister ♡♡♡ (She's from an old Aladdin videogame I NEED TO PLAY IT)
This is epic and I don't know how I missed it. They got everyone in there! "The Black Cauldron," Johnny Appleseed, the works.

Falling for scams does hurt people, actually
TW: Human trafficking, SA, torture, discussion of scam farms
I see a whole bunch of people arguing that they would rather risk giving to a scammer than ignore someone's gofundme. I also see people saying things like "I can't believe some sick people are profiteering off genocide" and like, me neither, but I feel like you guys really don't understand who actually runs these kinds of scams and what they are.
Scams of noticeable scale-- like scam asks being sent from hundreds of accounts to every user on Tumblr!-- are typically related to organised crime in poor countries, not Susan from Milwaukee who wants a new coat and has no scruples. People get trafficked by gangs to scam farms in Asia and Africa where they're worked to the bone and tortured trying to get idiots in wealthy countries to part with their money. Genocide profiteering is pretty much the least evil thing these people do.
Here's a UN article on it. Obvious warnings for content related to human trafficking and SA.
When you donate to a scammer, you fund these organisations and give them a reason to exist. It's possible some of the fundraisers are legit. I honestly find it unlikely given I'm not seeing any from any other countries where urgent fundraisers would seem to have great reason to exist but which haven't captured the same level of attention on Tumblr-- the number of Sudanese, Congolese, Ukrainian, Burmese or Uyghur fundraisers in my DMs is a fat 0. In any case, there are safer ways to help.
If you want to help (which is great!) you don't have to take the risk of paying for human trafficking. Donate to legitimate charities which have the resources to safely and effectively ensure the money and help is getting to the right people. Funding human trafficking rings in Myanmar is not a good risk to be taking while trying to help.
Gaza doesn't even have running water and electricity right now; how would Gazan civilians access the Internet? (Internet access normally imvolves electricity, doesn't it?)
Be careful when setting out to help others on the Internet. Make sure the damsel in distress isn't a giant squid in disguise.

Disney Villains by WOOH NAYOUNG
Animation test for "Aladdin" (1992)
I'm guessing this was changed to get more comedy into a scene of dialogue that might lose the kids' attention, and/or they didn't want Jafar to seem too nice.
Upcoming Tragic Villain Backstories!
Scar
was bullied by Mufassa as a cub, and also he was in love with Sarabi. But when he confessed his love, she Snape-Zoned him and said he was like a brother to her, and that she loved Mufassa. The jilted Scar empathized with the second-class hyenas, and sought only to introduce democracy to the Pride Lands.
Yzma
...is herself daughter of an emperor, but born out of wedlock, was ineligible for the throne, and instead saw her shallow and incompetent half-sibling wreck the kingdom's economy. And his son, and his son, and so forth. Yzma is Kuzco's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great ("ARE YOU FINISHED?!!")....great-great aunt. She raised Kuzco to the best of her abilities, but his evil parents left their bad influence on their son before drunkenly driving their chariot off a cliff. Yzma was also only using tough love to each the starving peasants a work ethic.
Steele
...was the sweetest little puppy in Alaska, until a pack of hungry wolves ate his human owners, instilling his sympathetic prejudices against Balto's kind.
Dr. Facilier
was an honest witch doctor, and partner of Mama Odie, until Mama Odie double-crossed him and took credit for the transformation potion he invented. She also spread evil rumors about him being a conning villain dabbing in evil magic. Really though, the shadow people and stitch dolls are benevolent spirits that took him under their wing after his parents were eaten by frogs.
Ursula
....actually would make a legitimately interesting villain story, if done right.
Governor Ratcliffe
...in our very slight artistic twist on history, was a poor boy who worked day and night to raise money for his little brother's much-needed operation, and just when he seemed about to finally get enough money to save Percy's life, he lost it all at an Indian casino. To keep Percy from dying, Dr. Facilier transplanted Percy Ratcliffe's soul into the body of a pug, just before his human body expired. Governor Ratcliffe is only seeking gold and the destruction of the Powhattans to save and avenge his little brother.
Jafar
was an innocent young child, and the apple of his parents' eye, until the day his parents were brutally murdered by a band of mugger street-rats, and then eaten by literal street-rats, and a starving Jafar was forced to eat his last family member--his pet snake Ziggy--to survive. The orphaned Jafar was then raised by parrots, who taught him dark magic. He entombed Ziggy's serpentine skeleton in a golden sarcophagus, and used his new magic to summon Ziggy's soul back to do his bidding through his new snake staff.
Mr. Mole
wasn't always blind. He used to be a prodigy of a painter, until his left eye was scratched out by a swallow's talons, and his right eye was wrecked by an insect's stinger. Unable to maintain his job as a painter, the crippled Mole could find work only as an indentured servant to fairies. He vowed to regain his wealth, at which time he would kill and mutilate swallows and bugs, and dominate a fairy as the fairies once dominated him.
Rothbart
truly was Mr. Nice Guy, until the love of his life left him for a man with better facial hair.
Judge Claude Frollo's father,
who had children at an old age, was hardcore party animal and proverbial Dirty Old Man, who had the sexual apatite of an Incubus and was King of Fools for decades on end. But one dark Festival Eve, a young innocent Frollo witnessed his elderly father finally push himself too far; a flirtatious barmaid--who happened to be a "Gypsy" (Romani)--accidently gave Frollo Sr. the boner that cost him his life. The old man clearly died happy, but his son was left in shambles.
Shortly thereafter, unattended decorative lanterns for the Festival caused a fire that burned the house down. Young Claude Frollo peed his pants, and everyone laughed. Thus he grew up to develop an intense hatred for sexuality, Gypsies, Festivals, and especially sexy Gypsies at festivals, as well as an obsession with fire and an preference for long dresses over pants.
The Coachman from "Pinocchio"
is really a kindly old man, who just got so sick of little hoodlums tromping through his front lawn. He's just using tough love to teach the donkey-boys a work ethic.
