The main "evil girl" in Disney's Tangled film is Mother Gothel, who kidnaps Rapunzel to use her magical hair for eternal youth, manipulating her into believing the world outside their tower is dangerous. In the animated series (Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure), a powerful demon sorceress named Zhan Tiri becomes the primary antagonist, manipulating events from behind the scenes and using others, including Cassandra, to achieve her goals.
Mother Gothel appears in Tangled (2010). For hundreds of years, Gothel hoarded the rejuvenation powers of a magical golden flower to remain young and beautiful, while keeping the flower's existence a secret from the rest of the world.

Frollo is often considered Disney's most realistic and evilest villain, but it didn't have to be that way. Disney's adaptation of Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1997) is often considered the studio's most mature film, and for good reason.
