Why has no one even mentioned Madame Mim?!?! She has her own theme music!

Based on the [| casting info] it  is  a Disney villain, therefore non-Disney villains such as the Witches of Oz or even original characters [e.g. someone's mum/aunt/sister etc.] do not fit the profile.

The casting also clearly states that "she's one of the best female villains of all time and  not just in recent Disney history ."

Based on that, I think she will be pre-Ariel, before the Disney Renaissance and the current big films [Tangled, Frozen etc]. For that reason, I don't think she's Mother Gothel [or a witch connected to Rapunzel or the Rapunzel episode].

I'd say Lady Tremaine but that's not an option for two reasons: A) It's likely she's Anastasia's/The Red Queen's Mother from Once Wonderland and B) Tremaines don't have their own theme music.

Based on all we know I think it's a tie between Cruella de Vil and Madame Mim.

The reason I think Madame Mim is more possible is based on the fact that films like 101 Dalmatians are alluded to in Once Upon A Time but they're not part of the narrative in an active way.

I'm 100% sure it's between the two of them though.
