Actually, Skinner was supposed to be "the" villain until the switch of directors, upon which Anton Ego turned out to be the "villain".Whippet Angel wrote: Skinner wanted to keep his job, and make as much profit from it as possible.
(And he gets the quote-marks for turning out to be a nice guy, too...)
Think it was either Pixar's laid-back storytelling, Lasseter's general hippie-ism about "good" and "bad" responsibilities--or else trying to get as far away as possible from Jeff K.'s infantile "Take that, bad person!" dogpiling upon Ratcliffe and Gaston--that moved Pixar away from good-vs.-evil conflicts...
Walt, OTOH, knew that stories not only had to have Good vs. Evil, but that it was necessary to a good story that Evil didn't play around...Otherwise, what respect would we have for the hero?

As good as Pixar films are I do think they could benefit from having stronger villains. Although Hopper was just excellent, as said above.
I do hope we see a return to a real sense of evil in upcoming films, both in Disney, DreamWorks and Pixar. In many ways it makes for a deeper movie.
In reference to 90s era Disney villains, they may have been a bit over the top here and there but they certainly projected real malice in some scenes, especially Gaston, Scar, even Skyes in O & C. (how does it get worse than almost choking someone with your limousine window and then kidnapping a little girl? His "death by subway car" scene is indeed the right dramatic payoff.)

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
