In Disney there were a few villains who were either villainized or were made more monstrous than their original counterpart. They are...
Kaa in Disney was made into a villain in contrast to the Rudyard Kipling book where he was a mentor to Mowgli like Baloo and Baghera. I was pretty surprised to find out that Kaa was a good guy in most of the Jungle Book adaptations I saw!
Claude Frollo in the Disney movie was portrayed to be more maniacal than his book counterpart aside from just changing his position from priest to judge except his character was based on Jehan in the 1939 version. Compared to the movie, the novel Frollo voluntarily took care of Quasimodo after his mother REALLY abandoned him as an unwanted child, though he later came to "regret" that decision. Also the novel Frollo though he was intolerant towards gypsies didn't persecute them openly. He was merely annoyed at their activities and begged them to stay away from the Cathedral though he fell for Esmeralda which drove him insane to do bad stuff. Sheesh and I was I surprised to find out Captain Phoebus was a jerk who didn't deserve Esmeralda as much as I found out Frollo had some positive qualities to think about!
Or third, Hades. I just thought of it that they don't do their research properly with myths on Hades' personality. Hades was a NEUTRAL character in the Greek myths and had no intention to take over Mt. Olympus. All dead people WENT to the underworld for judgment. Overall a real fake who's most likely based on this guy...
But Marvel's Hades is far more villainous than he is. :P
