At first glance, Disney’s Twisted Wonderland looks like a parody of Harry Potter. It is an isekai anime, where there is a magical world. While most of the isekai feature a magical world, here there is a magic school, people use flying broomsticks, and most importantly, house-based student divisions.
Given that magic is the foundation of the anime, the second episode featured a little something that confirmed it was a Disney anime. Most subtly, Twisted Wonderland showcased the top seven Disney villains ever. The fun part is that the magical world worships them as the Great Seven, and they are proud of their deeds. Here is a list featuring the Great Seven and their true identity.
1. The Fairest Queen
The first one to be introduced as one of the Great Seven in Disney’s Twisted Wonderland is the Evil Queen, or Queen Grimhilde, from Snow White. The Evil Queen was self-obsessed when it came to beauty. She believed that she was the most beautiful and fairest woman ever. She had a Magic Mirror, similar to the one in the anime. When asked who the most beautiful woman was, the magic mirror replied Snow White is the most beautiful woman.
It sends her into a frenzy, making her resort to evil methods to kill Snow White. The Evil Queen was inhuman, and she would go to any extent to preserve her beauty. She was the first ever villain in a Disney animated movie, and made her debut in 1937.
2. The Thorn Fairy
