To ME, those are the real psychopaths-the ones you least expect. I agree she's not evil per se, but she is a nut-case, a very dangerous one at that. Her sanity is definitely amiss, leaving her intelligence intact, which serves to make her all the more dangerous.
I never cared much for the Disney brand of villains myself, since it's so obvious as soon as you see them that they are the villains, even before they say or do anything, because of that stereotype that the "Bad Guys" have to be ugly and LOOK mean. It's not often that the Disney-esque movies spring a surprise on us like the folks who make Foster's did.

I always thought that Frollo was the best part of Disney's Hunchback. That man was positively creepy. Gaston was another one - until the last third of the movie, he was just a muscleheaded buffoon. Then you learn that he's capable of murder.
My point was that "villains" are really easy to overuse. A little bit of Berry goes a long way, and helps keep her fresh.
