[[Creator/WaltDisney Uncle Walt's]] company sure knows how to create [[LargeHam exaggerated characters]].
----
!!Movies
* Many Disney characters in the [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon animated canon]], [[EvilIsHammy but especially the villains]].
* As seen at right, ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' has Percival C. [=McLeach=], as portrayed by George C. Scott.
-->Let's see if we can't refresh that rusty old memory of yours. Is she on SATAN'S RIDGE? Or NIGHTMARE CANYON? What do you think, Joanna? Yeah, that's it. Right smack dab in the MIDDLE, at CROC FALLS!
* The [[WickedStepmother Wicked Queen]] in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' is the first in that canon and a particularly wonderfully {{nightmar|eFuel}}ish example. (This may have a lot to do with her being voiced by Lucille [=LaVerne=], a stage and silent film actress. She's also visually based on Kate Hepburn.)
** Actually, although she has a few drips of ham, the Queen is one of the more subtle villains out there. When she turns herself into the hag on the other hand, all bets are off, and she chews the scenery wonderfully.
* Scar, from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', played by [[Creator/JeremyIrons an actor]] who deserves his own folder at the Film page.
** "'''IDIOTS!!!''' THERE WILL ''BE'' A KING!! '''IIIIIII''' WILL BE KING! STICK WITH ME, AND YOU'LL ''NEVER GO HUNGRY'' '''AGAIN!!!!'''" With Scar, it takes ''a lot'' of hams to feed a pride of lions.
*** Scar is even [[UpToEleven hammier]] in German, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWm87HkaYdE believe it or not]]. [[SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing This guy knows how to rock a]] VillainSong.
** From the sequel: Zira, if [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJGqxf86cZs her lullaby]] is anything to go on.
** Their son Nuka qualifies too. Probably ItRunsInTheFamily.
** ThoseTwoGuys: Timon, voiced by scenery connoisseur Nathan Lane, and Pumbaa, who is possibly a literal LargeHam.
--> '''Timon''': "When he was a young warthog..."
--> '''Pumbaa''': "WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WARTHOOOOOOG!"
--> '''Timon''': [''cleaning his ear''] "Very nice."
--> '''Pumbaa''': "Thanks!"
** Banzai's biggest mistake...
--->'''Banzai''': Hey! Who's the pig?
---> '''Pumbaa''': [[BerserkButton Are you talkin' to me?]]
--->'''Timon''': (to Shenzi) Uh-oh, he called him a pig...
---> '''Pumbaa''': ''[[YouTalkinToMe Are you talking to ME?]]''
---> '''Timon''': Ya shouldn't have done that!
---> '''Pumbaa''': ''ARE YOU TALKING TO'' '''''ME!?'''''
---> '''Timon''': NOW they're in for it!
---> '''Pumbaa''': [[PreAssKickingOneLiner They CALL me,]] ''[[TheyCallMeMisterTibbs MIIIIIISTERRRR PIIIIIG!!]]'' '''''[[OhCrap AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH]]--'''''
----> *insert one hellacious off-screen thrashing here, with the normally goofballed Ed staring on in ''absolute terror''*
* [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Vil]] is another example. 'Specially as played by Glenn Close in the LiveActionAdaptation.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' has Hades, which Creator/JamesWoods plays akin to a car salesman. Except for the angry (and ''literally'' fiery) outbursts, particularly against his incompetent minions...
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' has Mushu. '''"I LIIIIIIIIIVVVVEEEE!!!!!!"'''
* No one hams like [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]].
** Let's not forget Lumiere either.
** Forte in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas'', voiced by Creator/TimCurry.
** Gaston ham is taken UpToEleven in the musical, where he gets his very own solo when he proposes to Belle, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments it's hilarious]]
** Whenever Beast gets angry, he hams up accordingly ("Then go ahead and STAAAAAAAAAAAAARVE!").
** [=LeFou=] has some hammy moments, particularly [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 as portrayed by Josh Gad]].
* Except maybe Pat Carroll's Ursula the Sea-Witch from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'', who actually turns herself into a ''very'' large...octopus...for the finale. She may be the first and only Disney villain to actually shake her moneymakers for the camera.
** "And ''don't'' underestimate the importance of...'''[[FanDisservice BODY LANGUAGE!]]'''"
*** The writers probably just said to her: Right, Ursula is a few screws short of a sea anemone -- go mad!"
** Well, the only one until Alameda Slim, who not only dances, but can "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deQK2cgyZmE YODEL ADLE ELDE IDLE OOOOOO!]]" No ham is complete without a Las Vegas performer-esque shiny outfit.
** In poker terms, Marina Del Rey from ''Ariel's Beginning'' will see you that outfit, and raise you a time-space wormhole from Bob Mackie's warehouse that leads directly into her underwater armoire.
* Timothy Mouse from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}''. Who knew a circus mouse impersonating Nosferatu in one scene would take hamminess to extremes!
* For pure, unadulterated, lean Grade A ham, nothing beats a thick, juicy slab of [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]].
** "'''GENIE!''' My second wish! I wish to be ''the most POWERFUL sorcerer...'' '''''IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD! [[EvilLaugh AH HA HA HA HA HAAAA!]]'''''"
** "'''[[AGodAmI THE UNIVERSE IS MINE TO COMMAND!!!]] TO ''[[ChewingTheScenery CONTROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL]]''!!!!!'''"
** Even better, in the second film he gets a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYyO44U2BQ4 whole musical number]], every line of which seems to made entirely of pun-filled ham.
** The only thing that could make Jafar more hammy is if he was voiced by Creator/TimCurry. Case in point; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_FguEpJ3fo his Reprise]] of the Prince Ali song.
** Let us not forget the scene where Jafar and Iago try to out ham each other. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7f2Z6Mg_Sw Through laughter.]]
** Jafar may have been killed off by the start of the TV series, but the Hamjitsu was conserved by the late Jonathan Brandis as the [[DeadpanSnarker smarmy]] sorcerer [[MagnificentBastard Mozenrath]]. Who knew you could fit all that ham into a pair of [[DracoInLeatherPants leather pants?]]
** From the TV series, Mechanicles, "THE GREATEST OF THE GREAT GREEK GENIUSES!"
** Iago as well. Think of Creator/GilbertGottfried channelling WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and this is what you'd get.
** The Cave of Wonders doesn't have many lines, but the ham gets served after Abu disobeys his command to "touch nothing but the lamp":
-->'''Cave of Wonders:''' ''INFIDELLLLLLLS!'' YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE FORBIDDEN TREASURE! NOW YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE THE LIGHT... OF... '''''DAAAAAAAAAY!'''''
* Clayton from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'', as played by Creator/{{BRIAN BLESSED}}.
* Kazar the wildebeest from ''WesternAnimation/TheWild'', voiced by Creator/WilliamShatner. Also Nigel to some extent.
* [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]]. [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Even the name]] screams "Ham!"
** And like with Cruella\Glenn Close, [[Film/{{Maleficent}} the live-action version]] allows Creator/AngelinaJolie to enjoy herself profusely.
* [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Ratigan]] may be Creator/VincentPrice's hammiest performance-- and that's saying a ''lot.''
** An honorable mention should go to the Norwegian dubbing - courtesy of Rattigan´s Norwegian actor. Helge Jordal is THE greatest ham in newer Norwegian theatre and cinema, and gave Vincent Price a good competition.
* '''''[[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog DON'T YOU DISRESPECT ME, LITTLE MAN!]]''''' Call it part of his showman persona, or part of ''him'', Dr. Facilier knows how to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZAY-78zhmw chew the scenery]]
** It '''is''' him, he's a ham who tends to steal the scene he's in.
** And of course, there's also his [[VillainSong "ARE YA READY?!"]]
* The ''delightful'' [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Captain Hook]], voiced by Hans Conreid, aka [[Film/The5000FingersOfDrT Doctor Terwilliger]], aka [[WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight Snidely Whiplash]]. A connoisseur of fine ham if there ever was one.
* [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Clopin]] is a good example. Frollo was fairly conservative compared to other villains.
** Except for [[VillainSong "Hellfire"]]: "Choose me or your pyre...be mine or you...''will''...'''''BURN!!!'''''"
** [[spoiler:Frollo's final and subtly Ironic last words]]: [[TemptingFate "AND HE SHALL SMITE THE WICKED AND PLUNGE THEM INTO THE FIERY PIT!!!"]]
* While we're in PluckyComicRelief Hams, The Genie from WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}, originally played by the one and only Creator/RobinWilliams.
** To the point that when Creator/WillSmith took the role in [[Film/{{Aladdin2019}} the live-action remake]], he goes full [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Fresh Prince]] to show he can make justice of Williams' ham.
* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': Jumba. "I prefer to be called... ''EEVIL GEN-EE-OUS!!''"
* ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''. The Queen of Hearts: '''''OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!'''''
** And from the same film, the March Hare. When the two meet, they engage in HamToHamCombat:
-->'''King of Hearts:''' What do you know about this unfortunate affair?\\
'''March Hare:''' Nothing.\\
'''Queen of Hearts:''' NOTHING WHATEVER?!?\\
'''March Hare:''' ''NOTHING WHATEVER!!''\\
'''Queen of Hearts:''' '''''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT!!!]]'''''
** In fact, pretty all of Wonderland has at least some shades of [[WorldOfHam ham]]. It gets turned UpToEleven when Tim Burton [[Film/AliceInWonderland2010 got involved.]]
* Gothel from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' can also be considered this. Especially in her villain song.
** '''''MOOOOOOOOOOOOTHEEEEEEEEEEER KNOWS... BEST!!!'''''
* '''AND WHEN IT ARRIVES, (''[[EvilLaugh AH HA HA HA]]!'') I'LL SMASH IT WIF A ''HAMMAH''!!''' You can tell Eartha Kitt had fun playing the aptly named [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove Yzma]]!
** Patrick Warburton gets in on the fun as well a couple of times with Kronk: "THE PEASANT! AT THE DINER! [[spoiler:..he didn't pay his check..]]"
* Who else but [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook Shere Khan]] could eclipse every other song in a film with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHenV6qzX_M Just. One. Line.]]
** King Louie counts, too. Even more [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 in the live action version]], where along with taking 'large' to whole new levels, he's voiced by Creator/ChristopherWalken!
* Zurg from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''. Even more hammy in the spinoff series ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand''.
** Besides Zurg, the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' series has Jessie ("YEE-HAAAAAWWWW!") and an obvious one in Hamm the piggy bank ("PIG PILE!"). Buzz dabbles in it sometimes (helps he usually speaks with intensity), especially in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' when he's reset and starts speaking in Spanish.
* Randall from ''Westernanimation/MonstersInc'' (and arguably even more hammy as an awkward teen in ''Westernanimation/MonstersUniversity''). [[Creator/SteveBuscemi His voice actor]] even has his own folder in the Film Large Hams page!
* Syndrome from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' flip-flops between dangerously understated and hammier than a Honeybaked warehouse, especially when he's enjoying himself (at a certain point even notices he fell prey to the tendency of villains to give hammy monologues). In fact, he gets ''so'' hammy that he actually ''loses'' Mr. Incredible.
-->'''Syndrome:''' ''[with Mr. Incredible in his tractor beam]'' I am '''''Syndrome!''''' ''[wild hand gestures]'' I am '''''your nemesis!''''' I-- ''[Syndrome's hand gestures accidentally turn off the tractor beam and Mr. Incredible goes flying.]'' Oh, ''brilliant.''
-->"Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl?" (laughs, then looks at the kids) [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "Oh, and got BIZZAY!]] It's a whole FAMILY of supers!" (in a redneck accent) "Oh, this is just too good!"
** Edna Mode certainly qualifies as well, with delivery of such lines as "I used to design for ''gods''," and "Go! Confront the problem! Fight! '''WIN!'''" It says something that Lily Tomlin, the director's first choice to play the role and no stranger to scenery-chewing herself, felt that she couldn't do it justice.
* Oogie Boogie in ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''.
** Jack Skellington can be pretty hammy too. Seriously: "'''I AM THE PUMPKIN KING!!!'''"
* Does Chernabog from ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' count? He manages to be a Large Ham [[MilkingTheGiantCow without ever even SPEAKING A WORD]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' has both Bolt the dog and Rhino the hamster as somewhat hammy characters, but the director of the ShowWithinAShow as easily the hammiest character in the movie.
-->'''The Director:''' Let me ask you, Mindy from the network, what do you see here?\\
'''Mindy Parker:''' Uhh... the dog?\\
'''The Director:''' "The dog" she says. Oh, Mindy. Poor, poor Mindy.\\
'''Mindy Parker:''' ... am I missing something?\\
'''The Director:''' You're missing ''everything'', Mindy. You see a dog. ''I'' see an animal that believes, with every fiber of his being-- EVERY FIBER-- that the girl he loves is in mortal danger! I see a depth of emotion on the face of that canine, the likes of which has ''never'' been captured on screen before. NEVER, Mindy from the network. We jump through hoops to make sure Bolt believes everything is real. It's why we don't miss marks. It's why we don't reshoot. It's CERTAINLY why we do NOT allow the dog to see BOOM MIKES... because, Mindy from the network... [[EnforcedMethodActing if "the dog" believes it... then "the audience" believes it.]]
* Anna from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' is probably the hammiest princess in Disney history, being an outright GenkiGirl at times.
** The only reason Elsa isn't hammy most of the time is the depression she's been forced to deal with, and the emotions she tried to hold back for so many years. The big exception is during "Let It Go", as she gets more and more enthusiastic, until she's belting out the last few notes while doing a SexyWalk and shouting her new-found freedom to the sky.
** Olaf The Snowman may be little, but he can ham it with the best of them.
** The Duke of Weselton hams it up anytime he's onscreen.
--->'''Duke of Weselton:''' ''(to Anna) YOU!!'' Is there sorcery in you too? Are you a monster ''TOO?!?!''
* King Candy from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', who, not by coincidence, is played by the same actor as the Duke of Weselton. [[spoiler:It makes complete sense since his backstory as Turbo centers around the fact that he's an AttentionWhore.]]
-->'''King Candy:''' ''HELL-O'' my ROYAL sub-''jects''! ''(giggles)'' HAVE some CAN-dy!!!
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' features Maui, who's basically Creator/DwayneJohnson channeling back The Rock as a demigod, with the boast and ham only a wrestler can provide. Just see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79DijItQXMM his musical number]].
** Not to be outdone, on the evil side we have Maui's old enemy Tamatoa; a giant crab monster given an extravagant performance by [[Music/FlightOfTheConchords Jemaine Clement]] (who seems to be channeling an unholy fusion of Creator/DavidBowie and Creator/TimCurry) complete with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93lrosBEW-Q glam rock showstopper]].
-->"''[[MemeticMutation WELL TAMATOA HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN THIS GLAM...]]''"
* ''Film/IntoTheWoods'':
** The Princes, ''especially'' during "Agony". They over-dramaticize their rather insignificant problems ("When the one thing you want/ is the only thing out of your reach!") and it is ''hilarious.''
** Creator/MerylStreep as the Witch is clearly having a blast in the role.
-->"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES!?! Cow's gone! Get it back!"
* Creator/DavidWarner usually plays quiet, AffablyEvil or FauxAffablyEvil types. [[{{Film/Tron}} Sark]]? Yeah, let's serve up some serious digital ham (or is that spam?). When you can make the future [[Series/BabylonFive Captain Sheridan]] look restrained, that's a massive slice of pork. While brief, the whole final duel between Sark and Tron is a classic HamtoHamCombat.
* Not to be outdone, Jeff Bridges ''really'' cranks up the spam as Clu 2.0 in ''Film/TronLegacy'', especially in his NewEraSpeech. Everything is shouted at full volume at a degree that would make Creator/BrianBlessed jealous.
* The prologue of ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' shows Judy as this during her school play, really overplaying her death scene. [[spoiler: The climax shows that she's gotten better overall and is good enough to hustle [[BigBad Bellwether]] into an EngineeredPublicConfession without her realizing it (though once it's clear they have her confession on tape, Judy can't help milking her "death" as Nick points out.]]
* Quite a few ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' characters are hammy, especially [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Tigger]].

!!Television and shorts
* The title character from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', particularly when he's monologuing. Over on the villain side, we have Negaduck (whose hammy nature is befitting, as he's DW's EvilTwin), and Tuskerninni, an ex-actor/director turned criminal:
-->'''Darkwing:''' I caught that hateful, underhanded ham Tuskerninni robbing a bank!
-->'''Tuskernini:''' Objection! [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I am not a ham!]]
** Practically all of Darkwing's enemies are Grade A Hams: [=MegaVolt=], The Liquidator, Quackerjack, and even one time villain Ordinary Guy.
* [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Magica DeSpell]] often gets so carried away.
** The singer for the Dutch ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' opening hams up the singing to a new cholesterol level. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U9nhv4D56o Hear it for yourself.]]
** We also have '''''EL CAPITAN'''''.
* Behold the shadowy ham that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9IzgZkax1w The Phantom Blot]].
** Even hammier in his appearance in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''.
--> "'''[[EvilLaugh MUHUHUHUHAHAHAHAHA!]] I'M MEAN!'''"
** And then there was the time he became '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqHHBLiMYrE&feature=related "THE PHANTOM RAIIIINBOOOOOOW!"]]'''''
* [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Anton Sevarius]] of ''{{WesternAnimation/Gargoyles}}''. Not only is he voiced by the delicious Creator/TimCurry, but in his first episode he spent it all ''play-acting a stereotypical MadScientist!!'' (In later appearances, he's slightly more subdued. Slightly.)
--> "NO! That's my '''CREATION!'''"
* The muses from ''Westernanimation/{{Hercules}}'' (the series) get in on it as well. 'Hercules was so HOT, steam looked cool!'
* The Narrator of ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'', whose thrill-packed PurpleProse is often hilariously at odds with the mundane activities shown onscreen.
** Even a small ham can be a Large Ham, as evidenced by The Dark Lord [[FluffyTheTerrible Chuckles the Silly Piggy]] And he is [[VisualPun MADE of ham.]]
* Dr. Doofenshmirtz from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. "'''[[CatchPhrase CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!]]'''"
** He is later upstaged by THE REGURGITATOR! (DramaticThunder)
*** "You can start by making me a FRESH POT OF COFFEE!" (Dramatic Thunder)
** Candace Flynn is always dramatically overreacting to everything.
* From ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' you take a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, [[GenkiGirl feed her a bag of sugar]], give her a [[SweaterGirl massive collection of home-made sweaters]] and [[CuteButCacophonic a voice that seldom]] [[NoIndoorVoice goes below 75 decibels]], and you've got Mabel Pines, Dipper's AnnoyingYoungerSibling.
** Even Mabel pales in comparison to [[BigBad Bill]] [[EldritchAbomination Cipher]].
-->[[VoiceOfTheLegion ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP YOU ONE-LIFESPAN THREE DIMENSIONAL FIVE-CENT SKIN PUPPETS!!!!]] For one TRILLION years I've been TRAPPED in my own decaying dimension, WAITING for a new universe to CALL MY OWN! The name's Bill, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME YOUR NEW LORD AND MASTER FOR ALL OF ETERNITY!!!!
* The universe of ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' is definitely a WorldOfHam. Almost every character can qualify for this trope, but most notably, we have Wander, an [[WideEyedIdealist idealistic]], [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny hyperactive]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who [[NiceGuy travels the galaxy helping others]], and Lord Hater, an evil overlord who also happens to be an [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex arrogant (yet insecure)]] PsychopathicManChild that could give any Disney villain a run for their money. The two of them frequently engage in HamToHamCombat and it's GLORIOUS.
** Season 2 brings us Lord Dominator, who is basically a [[ForTheEvulz sadistic]] [[PsychopathicManChild teenage girl thrust into the role of a supervillain]]. She [[{{Adorkable}} constantly acts like she's having the time of her life]], even (or rather especially) when she's destroying entire planets.
*** Speaking of villains, we also have Emperor Awesome, a campy frat boy whose parties destroy entire planets.
*** And of course, we have Dr. Screwball Jones. Picture [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Weird Al]] playing a PG version of [[Comicbook/TheJoker The Joker]] who is [[PungeonMaster obsessed with puns]] and practical jokes. Then pit him in HamToHamCombat against Wander doing an impression of [[Series/Batman1966 1960s Batman]]. What do you get? One of the hammiest episodes in an already hammy show.

* Jerry Colonna as the narrator in the 1950 short ''The Brave Engineer"
-->'''Eeeegaaaaad!!'''
